Escape from Playtime

Escape from Playtime: A Smiling Critters Adventure is a co-op survival horror game set in the Poppy Playtime universe. You play as a Smiling Critter, exploring an abandoned Playtime Co. toy factory, gathering parts and resources, and trying to survive the rejected creations hunting through its halls.

The factory

Each run takes place in a distinct section of the facility, such as classrooms, warehouses, testing labs and the dark corridors between them. The mysterious Voice sends you into the factory to collect scattered parts and resources and bring them back safely, though the game leaves open who or what you are really working for. The Voice also appears to alter the facility’s layout, creating procedurally generated environments that change with each run.

The factory includes iconic Poppy Playtime locations, explored from a smaller perspective. You crawl, jump and climb through its nooks and crannies while rejected Playtime Co. creations stalk the decaying halls.

Survive together

You can play with 2–8 players, including up to 7 friends, and use proximity voice chat to communicate. Players must work together and use their surroundings to escape. More Critters can cover more ground, but also mean more chances for things to go wrong.

Search for tools, uncover clues, find hiding places, create distractions and take alternate routes to outmaneuver the creatures. The factory’s resources and layout offer ways to stay alive as you gather what you need and return safely.

Characters and progress

The game launches with an eight-character roster, one starter zone and a core lineup of enemies. The Perm-A-Lounge computer lets you track progress and examine rewards, which can help uncover further company secrets.
