20.1M views: how to make “choose one” simulation reels with Claude

A step-by-step guide to this format: what @miniworldsim does, why a reel with 20.1M views works, the Claude prompts to make your own version, and how postreadygo posts one every day at the best time on every platform.

“Choose a planet. You must survive one year here.” Four retro planets, a countdown, then a simulation of what happens on each. The reel has 20.1 million views and 7,595 comments, from an account with 19 posts.

• You have to choose, so you answer in your head before it starts.
• A countdown keeps you for the first five seconds.
• Each outcome is a small story, and people defend their pick in the comments.

What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research, write scripts and prompts, and write the code that draws an animation in your browser.

1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude writes the options

Claude writes the options prompt

Make a “choose a planet, survive one year” reel.
4 planets with one-line descriptions, then what happens on each over a year, 2 short sentences each.
Give me 20 more “choose one, survive X” ideas (islands, houses, time periods).

Read what Claude gives you and change anything that does not sound like you.

Step 2: Claude codes the simulation

Claude codes the simulation prompt

Build this as a single HTML file on a canvas, vertical 1080x1920, retro pixel style.
Show 4 planets, a 5-second countdown, then zoom into each one and show its outcome with a short caption.
Add a Record button that downloads the video.

If something looks wrong, tell Claude what you see and it fixes it.

Why posting by hand holds you back

• Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
• The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
• One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

1. Go to postreadygo.com and click Get started for free. Then open Linked and connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any other supported network.
2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”

Step 4: One a day, on autopilot

Scheduling prompt

Here are 30 videos.
Post one every day at the best time on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads, starting tomorrow.
Write a caption for each that ends with a question.
Show me the plan before you schedule anything.
