Subathons are the perfect storm of hype, chaos, and nonstop content. Whether you're adding time to a countdown or unlocking wild incentives, your goal is simple: keep viewers engaged and entertained. Blerp’s sound alerts are built for exactly that kind of energy!
Here are some creative ways to use Blerp during your next subathon to fuel the fun and keep the momentum going.
1. Unlock Higher Maturity Soundboards as Goals
Start your subathon with a “G-rated” or “PG” soundboard, and work your way up to more mature content as your sub milestones increase. For example, reaching 25 subs unlocks your PG-13 board, while 50 subs unlocks your R-rated chaos. It’s a fun, progressive way to match the stream’s energy with your community’s support.
Pro tip: Build anticipation by teasing the maturity jump, or let mods choose the next rating tier as a surprise!
2. Viewer-Triggered Audio Challenges
Assign specific Blerp sounds to funny or unexpected challenges. A horror scream might mean you pause and spin in your chair, while a fart noise could force you to talk in a goofy voice for 60 seconds. You can even tier the challenges by how intense or rare they are and price them accordingly. Let your viewers steer the chaos while you try to keep up.
3. Blerp Buckets: Spin the Sound Roulette
Want to crank the chaos up a notch? Blerp Buckets are your secret weapon. Think of them as a mystery box or audio Russian roulette. Each bucket is filled with multiple Blerp sounds, and when a viewer redeems it with channel points, one random sound plays.
You can even adjust the odds of each sound appearing, stack the deck with jump scares, or hide one ultra-rare sound with a special effect or meaning. It’s unpredictable, hilarious, and totally built for subathon moments when everyone’s watching and waiting for what happens next.
4. Walk-On Sound Showcases
Subathons often bring in new viewers and long-time lurkers. Encourage them to create or customize their walk-on Blerps during the stream. Dedicate a segment where new walk-ons are showcased, adding hype to every new arrival and keeping the community spotlight strong.
5. Time-Adders Based on Blerps Played
Want to make the timer more interactive? Let chat literally extend the subathon using Blerps. For example, each sound played during a specific segment adds 10 seconds to the clock. You can limit it to one board or theme so things stay fresh and controlled.
6. Let Chat Vote on Blerps to Replace Alerts
When a subathon hits a lull, run a quick poll: “Which alert should replace my dono button for the next 30 minutes?” Giving viewers power over the stream’s sound landscape keeps things fun and unpredictable.
7. Create a ‘Chaos Hour’
Designate a time slot where Blerp use is completely unhinged. No cooldowns, max volume, and a “no talking until the sounds stop” rule for you. It's a perfect energy reset and a hilarious challenge to survive chat’s unleashed audio arsenal.
8. Secret Blerp Sound Challenge
Before stream, pick one Blerp sound from your featured sounds, but don’t tell your viewers which one. If someone happens to play the secret Blerp during the subathon, reward them or the entire community with a prize: bonus time, a giveaway entry, or even a surprise raid. It adds a layer of mystery and makes every redemption feel like a potential win.
