Okay, so with YouTube being one of the the world’s most popular social websites, it makes sense that you’re trying to use it to build your brand.
And one of the best ways to do that, of course, is by driving up engagement on your YouTube videos.
How do you do that?
By taking advantage of curiosity-driven YouTube video title ideas (like the ones I’ve given you above).
So, let me break down each of the video titles I’ve mentioned, so you can better understand how – and why – they work…
YouTube Title Ideas
1. I Can’t Believe I Just Played That
This YouTube title idea is perfect for gamers who play “impossible” games.
And the reason it will get people to click is because it leaves them wondering…
‘You can’t believe you just played WHAT?’
and
‘Why do you feel like that?’
In other words, it opens a ‘loop’.
And the only way to close that loop is by clicking through to the video so they’re questions can be answered.
2. This game will DESTROY your motivation…
This YouTube video title idea is perfect for gamers who play really tough games.
Why?
Because it implies that the game being played will have a negative impact on their audience’s motivation.
In other words, it has an ‘implied challenge’.
It says that you won’t be able to complete this game because I can’t.
So they’ll click through to find out what game it is and then try to prove you wrong.
It will create engagement in the comments section of your video, too.

3. DON’T play this if you want a social life
This YouTube title idea is perfect for people who play a game that is SO addictive they won’t want to do anything else with the rest of their day.
They won’t want to workout.
Or read.
Or spend time with their significant other.
They will just want to play that game.
Why?
Because it’s addictive.
But they – your viewers – don’t know that.
They don’t know WHY it will destroy their motivation and so they’ll click to find out.
Again, the power of curiosity – relevant curiosity – at work.
4. I was CRYING while playing this game…
This YouTube title idea is perfect for gamers who play emotional games.
A game that creates such a strong reaction in them that they can’t help but cry because of it.
Again, this induces curiosity in your viewers.
‘What game is it?’
‘Why did you cry?’
It leaves questions unanswered.
Questions they desperately want the answers to.
Oh, and just as a side note, I hope you’re starting to see the theme here.
Namely, in order to get people to WANT to watch your videos you need to create curiosity in your titles.
Curiosity is what makes people click… even when they don’t want to.
Just remember to make sure it is relevant to the video and not a clickbait title, okay?

5. World’s LONGEST gaming challenge!
Gaming challenges are fun, right?
Well, why not create a YouTube video centered around a ridiculously long challenge you set for yourself.
Maybe it’s playing your favorite game for 24 hours straight.
Maybe it’s doing 20 pushups an hour until you win a game of Fortnite.
Just come up with a challenge.
Make it looooooooonnnnnggg.
And then use this title.
Again, it will create curiosity and will get people clicking.
Comprende?
Cool.
6. 15 Reasons You NEED to Play This Game
This YouTube video title idea is perfect for gamers who are trying to convince their audience to play a specific game.
’15 reasons!?’ they’ll think. ‘I need to find out what those 15 reasons are.’
And they’ll also want to know what the game is.
Obviously.
So pick a game you LOVE.
Create an enticing list of reasons to play it.
Turn that into a video.
And then use this title.
Oh, and as a side note, using numbers (especially odd numbers) in your titles has been shown to increase the clickthrough rate of videos, blog posts, emails.
And we practice what we preach.
I mean, look at the title of this post.
7. 3 Games You Need to Be Playing in 2022
Once again, this YouTube title idea is perfect for gamers who are trying to convince their audience they need to be playing a certain game.
A game – or set of games – you believe will be ridconulously popular this year.
Could be an indie game.
Could be a Triple-A game.
Or it could even be a crypto game.
Who knows!
Point is, you give them the “insider” scoop before anyone else, which, as previously mentioned, induces curiosity.
But, it also creates a sense of ‘FOMO’.
(Oh, and in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years that means ‘fear of missing out’.)
No one wants to miss out on the next craze.
No one.
Something to keep in mind.
In conclusion:
Use the YouTube video title ideas I’ve given you above, yes.
But, more than that, take away the two key lessons here.
Lesson #1: Induce relevant curiosity
Lesson #2: Create a sense of FOMO
Follow these two lessons in each of your videos and your viewers, subscribers and gaming brand will skyrocket.
Got it?
Good.
Oh, and as always, have fun gaming!
