Writing prompts Bloxlabs understands
The prompt formula that gets you a great first round, plus follow-ups that fix anything.
You don't need special syntax — but the more concrete you are, the better the first round. A good prompt answers four questions.
- Genre: obby, tycoon, horror, simulator…
- Hero moment: who is doing what?
- Emotion: scared, hyped, shocked, triumphant.
- Title text: put it in quotes, 1–3 words.
Example prompt
Horror game, kid running down a school hallway looking back in terror, giant shadow monster behind, dark blue with red glow, title "RUN."
