Schell Games is cooking up a lot of exciting projects, but we need YOUR help to make them outrageously fun! If you're interested in playtesting early versions of our games and experiences, sign up at schellgames.com/playtest.
You can join in-person or remote, and groups are welcome!
Happy to keep making Toontown bigger and better! Shout out to Jesse Schell for sharing (and designing) these cards.
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.
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.

It's so... Beautiful. 🥹
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
9660 153rd Ave NE
Redmond, WA 98052
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.
Hi, now that the @toontownrewritten.com x Makeship campaign is here I can finally share photos that I have been sitting on since as early as December when the first sample arrived at my door
I now have 2 GDCs with 2 talks under my belt, and MarÃa has 1 GDC with 1 talk. Let's see if we go 3-for-3 and 2-for-2 next year! 🤞😜
Major thanks to everyone who came out to MarÃa 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.
This is today! Come hear about how Schell Games is innovating in #MixedReality social spaces.
#GDC #MetaQuest
We helped design a multiplayer party game at Schell Games, "Party Versus", which revealed an incredible amount of untapped potential for social spaces in #MixedReality that we'd love to share with you.
Our session is at 1:20 PM on Tuesday in Room 2002, West Hall. Join us for the party there! 🥳🎉

How can developers ensure that fun, not friction, defines the Mixed Reality experience? 😬 Look no further!
Excited to speak alongside MarÃa Laura Mirabelli Jiménez at #GDC this week:

NEW: Jon Favreau is developing an 'OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT' series for Disney+, according to DEADLINE.
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!

Party Versus is a game that completely reinvents mixed reality social interactions.
I have reviewed it and I think that Schell Games did an amazing job in finding the right formula to make people meet in MR...
