Fans love to play, especially when they get to decide what happens next. "I need some baubles" is a festive engagement game where your subscribers decorate your Christmas tree, one tip at a time. It's fun, it's cheeky, and it turns passive scrollers into active participants.
Here's how to run it on OnlyFans, Fansly or MYM Fans, plus variations you can use all year long.
The concept
You start with a bare Christmas tree. Every new subscription or tip adds one decoration. Fans vote on colors and ornaments, and watch the tree come to life thanks to them. For a full holiday calendar around games like this, read our Black Friday plan for creators.
It becomes a shared event: everyone contributes, everyone sees the progress, everyone wants to see the final result (and you, next to it, in your festive outfit).
Give fans a role in the story and they'll pay to see how it ends.
How to play
- Set the scene. Post a photo or short video with the bare tree (and you, looking a little disappointed). Explain the rules in a voice note or caption.
- Set the rules. "Every sub or tip = one bauble." You can set levels: small tip = small bauble, big tip = star on top.
- Let them choose. Use polls for bauble colors, garland vs lights, which star.
- Post updates. Share progress photos or videos regularly so fans see their contributions.
- Celebrate the finish. Fully decorated tree = a special reveal set or video for everyone who played.
- Bonus round. If they keep going, add gifts under the tree, more lights, a little Santa hat... on you.
Variations for the rest of the year
The mechanic works with any theme:

|---|---|---|
| Vacation | "Empty suitcase, help me pack!" | Outfits, bikinis, accessories |
| Cozy winter | "It's freezing, help me warm up!" | Blanket, socks, hot cocoa |
| Halloween | "Help me build my haunted house" | Ghosts, bats, candles, skulls |
| Costume | "Make me the perfect witch" | Hat, cape, stockings, wand |
| Valentine's Day | "Decorate my bed for Valentine's" | Rose petals, hearts, candles |
| Birthday | "Throw me a party" | Balloons, cake, a new outfit |
