How 洛克王国世界 (Roco Kingdom: World) built a nostalgia-led Douyin launch with eleven creators
洛克王国世界 (Roco Kingdom: World) paired creator-led childhood memories with a 3D product story for its Douyin launch, then used Guangzhou check-ins and a back-to-school pop-up to carry the campaign offline.
Childhood memories become the entry point to a classic IP's 3D revival
Creators recalled playing 四三九九洛克王国 (4399 Roco Kingdom) in childhood, then introduced 洛克王国世界 (Roco Kingdom: World) as a 3D open-world reworking of the classic IP. Spoken scripts covered the three starter creatures 火花 (Spark), 水蓝蓝 (Shuilanlan, Water Blue) and 喵喵 (Miaomiao, Meow), the recreated 3D world and more than four hundred creatures. All eleven posts were videos, spanning comedy sketches, relationship role-play and COS or gaming content.
The audience was Generation Z students and young workers who grew up with 四三九九洛克王国 (4399 Roco Kingdom), alongside new players and tech-minded early adopters. The launch date was 26 March. Guangzhou Tower check-ins and a back-to-school pop-up at 广州gogo新天地 (Guangzhou GOGO Xintiandi mall) on 28–29 March extended the campaign offline, with creature identity cards, a stamp-collecting booklet and free soda; the call to action was store visitation and on-site redemption rather than discounts.

The first step to copy
- 1
Start with nostalgia inside entertainment formats
Use leading comedy and relationship creators as the awareness anchor. Have the product enter through natural childhood recollections of 四三九九洛克王国 (4399 Roco Kingdom), then move to the launch date, the three starter creatures and the 3D world; keep the delivery conversational rather than a stand-alone feature list.
