I'm laying out a new story and I'd like some help with a title. The catalyst of the story is that a poor person creates a casual mobile game called "Flying Monkey Express," which blows up and makes the poor person wealthy. Hijinks ensue. Now, I think that "Flying Monkey Express" is an interesting and intriguing title. Unfortunately, I have it on muptiple reliable authorities that my taste in titles generally sucks. So, what do you guys think?
 
"Game Changer"
"Rich monkey, poor monkey"
"Flying Monkey Millionaire"
"Monkey Business Moneybags"
"Poor house to penthouse: monkeying around"
"From bust to a billion bananas"
:cool:

A friend suggested shortening it to its initials: F ME. LOL

They're used to be an old Japanese TV show that was on the BBC when I was a kid, called 'Monkey Magic'.

Finding a title can be really frustrating - especially since they play such a big role in catching the audience's attention in the first place.
Just in a few words!

I agree that flying monkey express is a fun name for the game, and a fun title for a story... But does it grab the attention?

A title should have some sort of promise of what's gonna be in there (even if the short description supplements it).

Flying monkey express tells us that it is a fun story, probably a bit chaotic and/or whimsical... But inevitably, I wonder what's gonna be erotic, about it (unless it's non-erotic, some kind of romantic drama?).

Again, it's borderline sadistic titles have to be so short by nature (unless you go by Japanese visual novels), but one thing that might draw people in might be some sort of suggestion of tension, perhaps even conflict.

Something like "the flying monkey invasion" / "the flying monkey disaster" /
"the monkeys are unleashed" ? Just to illustrate what sort of thing I am talking about.
