In Poppy Playtime Chapter 1, you must explore the ruins of the once-famous Playtime Co. toy factory to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of its staff. Armed with the GrabPack—a wearable backpack with extensible robotic hands—you will solve complex electrical puzzles and move heavy objects from a distance. But be warned: the toys are alive and they are not friendly. Escape the grasp of Huggy Wuggy and find a way out before it's too late.

Our Expert Score
Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 is a masterclass in atmospheric horror that revitalizes the 'abandoned childhood' trope with genuine tension and clever mechanics. The transition to mobile is impressively smooth, retaining the eerie lighting and industrial decay of the Playtime Co. factory. The centerpiece of the gameplay is the GrabPack, which transforms simple environmental puzzles into tactile interactions. Extending your reach to grab distant levers or conducting electricity through your wires creates a unique rhythm of play that keeps you engaged between scares.
Speaking of scares, Huggy Wuggy remains one of the most terrifying modern horror icons. The way the game builds dread through environmental storytelling—scattered VHS tapes and cryptic notes—makes the eventual chase sequences feel earned and frantic. While the chapter is relatively short, it serves as a perfect introduction to the lore and sets a high bar for the subsequent entries. It's a must-play for horror fans who value atmosphere and puzzle-solving over cheap jump scares.

I love this game, but there’s some issues
Sun Mar 20 2022 myipad1800I have this game on my iPad that I got this year. It seems to run fine, doesn’t take up to much space and the mechanics aren’t to bad either. Now I have some issues, the jump button is to far away. I can’t press the button while moving around because of how far it is. If you could move the jump button to where the hands are and move the hands to the middle that would help a lot. Also, some of the sound effects don’t come through. I was listening to a tape and none of the audio came through. I had my iPad at almost full volume and it still didn’t play. Also the rewiring mechanic on here is bugged and a bit broken. On the pc version there’s a sound that went off to show that the power was restored. I spent 10 minutes on this part because no sound played and the lights didn’t come back on. When I walked up to the 2nd power thing where you put the wire it did it automatically and I had no idea until I left the game and loaded it from the auto save. There are some really good aspects of this game though. The music that plays when you hit the red button on the huggy wuggy plaque is amazing! On all the playthroughs I have watched on the pc version the music was never in the videos. Even in the unedited versions it was never played! It scared the crap out of me because I wasn’t expecting anything to play. Huggys laugh in the music makes it really unsettling. I don’t think the price is bad because it costs around the same on pc and I don’t expect to get a game for free when it is ported to mobile. Other than those issues the game is really good. Even some of the little things like huggy peeking through the door when you get the red hand just really shows that even on the mobile version the attention to detail is still there! Can’t wait to get the second chapter when it comes out on mobile!
Great but not perfect
Thu Feb 26 2026 Damo1277First, I’m talking about positive. It is pretty eerie and the sound effects are really good and when you’re being chased by huggy, it does feel a little scary. For the visuals, it might look not as good as PC but for a phone it’s not bad. NOW! Let’s talk about the negative. For one on PC chapter 1 is free, but you have to buy it here for 2.99. I can’t understand. Do you wanna make some money but they should just make it a dollar for how short the game is. Second thing is trying to control the red and blue hand at the same time is pretty hard but it’s manageable. The one big thing I hate is that there’s a soft lock at the start of the game there are a lot of little kids get stuck. If you wanna know how to get past it, you have to put in the green tape first on the counter and then you can use the blue tape to get the grab pack. The loading screens do take some time, but you can’t judge it since your phone is trying to run a pretty hefty game. Overall, if mob entertainment fixes these problems. Which might happen because they’ll probably be adding chapter 5 to the phone and he might fix some things in past chapters. Overall, I think this could be a four or a five star to fix these problems, but I’m gonna leave it at a decent three.
Amazing 🤩 love the lore
Sat Dec 13 2025 BeatLover🎤❤It’s amazing!!!! I love the lore and the huggy design great work! And please take ur time on chapter 5 please take your time. I’m patient. And if I ever get chapters 2-4 imma put 5 star ratings on them instantly (and same with chapter 5 when it comes out). No way you can change my mind!!!! Also real quick will catnap be in chapter 5 cuz I never saw catnap in the trailer and it’s leaving me at a huge cliffhanger of wether or not catnap or doey survived but great job making the mobile compatible version on poppy playtime this is my dream game if I had to put a custom rating I would put 100/5 stars im a huge poppy playtime fanatic!!!!!!! 😃 oh and ps fix the controlls a bit cuz in the middle of the chase I turned 180 degrees and ran straight into huggy the cam turns too fast Edit: bug with huggy statue. When I played once he has black in spots he shouldn't. Ps the tapes are similar. If I play them in the seconds after grabbing the tape it just changes the model of the tv slightly and doesn't play. Makes it longer to get grabpack and harder to speedrun. And I haven't played the full game in a while cuz of the whole 180 scene. Whateva great work!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🤩
The chase at the end is masterful.
Thu Aug 21 2025 Bobcat99728The game is great, but let’s focus on the chase scene with 1770/Huggy Wuggy. The way how you can hear his footsteps and him banging on the vents behind you is just terrifying and was done spectacularly. And I love the moment at the start where for about 5-10 seconds, you think your safe in the vents, only to be thrown violently back into it when you see Huggy only inches away from you being blocked by vent walls. And finally, the part near the end where the ventilation door shuts just before you can get about an extra 5 second gap between you and Huggy is horrifying, and this part really shows how intelligent Huggy is. He started going slowly to give the Protagonist a slow death, like he’s taunting us that death is near. I rate this game a 9.5/10. My only complaint is that the audio tapes when I put them in only show subtitles and I can’t hear what they’re saying, even when I turn the volume the full way up. Overall though, this game is amazing. Thanks for reading, have a great day, and hopefully, chapter 5 will be the best one yet!
Poppy playtime
Sat Feb 21 2026 Wyler ScottI love poppy playtime as a hole, although sometimes the tape players are silenced or doesn’t play at all when you put in a tape, and the factory and the title menu (the the one with the huggy and the name of the chapter) are blacked out, but the huggy chase is cool and can make lots of memes before the vent chase where huggy is free roam. The game is short, but is worth the $3.00. Please add a crouch and sprint button, and have the hand buttons where you can change where they are at in the settings (have the left hand button on the left side of the screen, and the right hand button on the right side of the screen) and please add an option in the settings that make the hand buttons on the left side of the screen and the joystick on the right side of the screen for people who are left handed. And I can’t wait for chapter 5 to release on mobile! So please be working hard on that, and keep on making future installments cheapest on mobile, like $5.00 if you can, but chapter 5 is defiantly worth more then $5.00
Add chapter 3
Sat Mar 16 2024 Lovely 😊 gameI really love these games and I have an iPhone and I can only get 1-2 which I have both but I am really excited to get the third one and I look almost everyday which is a little excessive I know but I really would like it if u brought it out on mobile earlier since u already made it and have it on other platforms but not on mobile I saw a lot of other people wanted the 3 poppy playtime and I think u should bring it out early cause no one knows when it’s supposed to come out on mobile I think I haven’t saw anything about it yet but please bring it out early I love these games so much and they are so much fun to play and the jump scares are amazing 😁. Keep up the good work mob games and hope u bring poppy playtime chapter 3 out sooner than later I would love to buy it 😄.
Kind of ugly, even for mobile
Sun Jun 12 2022 Giorgio GreggioI'm happy that a mobile platform now exists with Poppy Playtime, but I hope that when Chapter 2 rolls around, the quality of the mobile game will be improved... Firstly, the graphics and lighting is horrible, even for a mobile game. It's so deep fried and sharp, and so many details are blurred out. And Wuggy's fur is just... oh my god... Secondly, allow us to edit the button positions. Moving your finger to the middle of the screen to jump isn't very practical. And just add a crouch button instead of the game just making us crouch randomly. Also add an interact button - it's kind of annoying to wait for 2-3 seconds for the game to open an interactive panel for you, and in future chapters what if you're in a hurry? And the interact button could be used for picking and playing tapes as well. Thirdly, speed up the waiting time. The loading screen is kinda bad to begin with, but it just ruins the mood of the game, especially when it interrupts THE iconic Huggy Wuggy chase, like please just move it to anywhere after that. And I had to wait like 40-50 seconds after dying to respawn. This almost feels like you're making fun of mobile games with all the low quality, but the majority of mobile games are not as bad as this. If you, the devs, really care about the mobile fanbase (and making money) then you should probably fix these things. There's always the steam version, but if it weren't for that, right now I'd say for a mobile game, this is pretty low quality, definitely should not cost $3, and to all the other people reading this, don't waste your money until this game is fixed.
What happened?
Wed Aug 07 2024 Awbl12Used to be good, but now there are so many problems. For one, the title screen is usually black upon opening the game. If it’s not, once you press play the screen that’s supposed to have the chapter description and the “new/load game” options is also just black, with the only button being new game. This means it’s impossible to re-enter a saved game. This also just ruins the title screen and the entire presentation of the game. The second problem is the gameplay. It used to run smoothly, but now it is extremely laggy, especially compared to chapter 2, which doesn’t make any sense as chapter 2 is very smooth while being a longer game with more complex parts. The graphics are way worse as well. And yes, I have deleted and reinstalled it before, and it didn’t fix it. I’m not sure what happened, but at this point the game is at best a very laggy and ugly mess, and at worst borderline unplayable. Please fix this, it used to work fine.
