Toons! Tonight on the @toonffc.org stream, @joeyz.io shared about an official prototype #Toontown Online card game. He briefly showed us these prototype cards.

He was also kind enough to send me this picture!😊

As stated, they will be uploaded to the Preservation Project toontown.online VERY soon!

We designed this game to be full of delightfully silly MR moments that turn any room into a playground. I'm incredibly proud of what the team at Schell Games built on this title, and I hope it inspires players and developers alike to think outside the box of what's possible in Mixed Reality.

Joey Ziolkowski @joeyz.io · Jun 12

Our #MixedReality party game, Party Versus, is now FREE on the Meta Horizon Store! 🥳

I believe games like this will lead to all sorts of fun future of social gatherings. It’s a new kind of house party, and we're so excited to open the invitation to everyone.

In addition to getting a plush for yourself, I'd also recommend donating one to @childsplaycharity.bsky.social who will give it to kids at their partnered children's hospitals! Just set the shipping address to:

Child's Play Charity

I can't emphasize how awesome it has been to finally bring #Toontown plushies to the whole community with Makeship! This has been a dream of ours for many years now, and we're beyond excited to partner with Child's Play Charity to do it all for a good cause.

Toontown Rewritten @toontownrewritten.com · Apr 21

Hiya, Toons! For those of you who attended ToonFest Columbus last year (or swung by for the recap!), you may remember our Makeship Campaign announcement. A Makeship Campaign is a community-funded sour...

I now have 2 GDCs with 2 talks under my belt, and María has 1 GDC with 1 talk. Let's see if we go 3-for-3 and 2-for-2 next year! 🤞😜

Joey Ziolkowski @joeyz.io · Mar 23

Major thanks to everyone who came out to María and I's session at #GDC2025!

We loved hearing from fellow #MixedReality devs who are innovating in the space, and we hope that our talk helps you create more amazing MR games! If you missed it and catch it on the Vault, I'd love to hear your feedback.

Major shout out to @junehs.bsky.social, @sleepymaya.bsky.social, Sam Edwards, Jesse Schell, and Ron Weaver for their part in telling this Toontastic tale.

Additionally, thanks to @wired.com's own resident Toon, J. Clara Chan, for doing such thorough research and shaing Toontown's inspiring story!

It seems that even the folks at Disney understand this: We've been running the game for over a decade now, and they deserve a lot more credit than they get for silently acknowledging the good that Toontown does by holding back their Lawbots.

I've been working with @toontownrewritten.com for 11 years, and I'm still pinching myself as if I'm dreaming. It's a rare privilege to work on a game that spans across multiple generations and provides so much good to the world.

"Those fundamental values espoused in the original Toontown—of teamwork, of working toward the greater good, of having fun—live on. It’s a classic Disney ending."

This quote captures what makes Toontown special. Its fictional story of "Work vs. Play" became a reality!

Thanks to a bunch of game-makers who were still teens when "Toontown Online" disappeared, the beloved online world lives on as "Toontown Rewritten."
