The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

This seems like you're trying to make a post for the Trope Launch Pad.

No, I will if there's no such trope for this yet, but first I'm trying to see if a similar trope exists and giving as much detail as possible. If it doesn't (which seems to be the case), I'll just copy-paste this for the Trope Launch Pad.

Probably Instant Web Hit? Possibly and/or Sleeper Hit, if the game was around for a while before going viral, or just if the uptake was slow and steady rather than overnight. Could also be a creator's Breakthrough Hit, but that's about a work being the point when a creator's career really takes off, not so much how long the game took in finding its audience or how its word of mouth/memetic status spread. Many of these might fit all three.

Possibly also the result of a Colbert Bump.
