How 卡拉彼丘 (Strinova) built a paper-plane challenge around its Douyin game launch
For its February 2024 public beta, 卡拉彼丘 (Strinova) used thirteen Douyin creators and thirteen videos to turn its 3D-to-2D character mechanic into a paper-plane relay, wrapped in school and family comedy.
Make the paper plane a playful demonstration of the core mechanic
Running from 2 to 5 February 2024, after the public beta opened on 1 February, the campaign paired 纸飞机接力挑战 (Paper Plane Relay Challenge) with the hashtag 二次元射击游戏卡拉彼丘公测 (Public Beta of Strinova, the Anime-Style Shooter). The paper-plane action echoed the shooter’s seamless switch from a 3D character to a 2D paper form. Comedy creators embedded that explanation, the New Year cart-pushing mode and sign-in gifts in school and family skits, while the challenge invited users to contribute New Year wishes. A separate celebrity livestream trial supplied material for meme-led videos about the contrast between the player’s public persona and the game.
The work targeted Gen Z students and young viewers interested in anime culture, school-life jokes and short-form comedy. The public-beta offer added a two-week New Year sign-in programme with random gift packs and the new cart-pushing mode. With no discount and no explicit conversion prompt, the activation stayed focused on awareness and product discovery.
