Poppy Playtime follows Five Nights at Freddy’s with new movie

The horror puzzle game Poppy Playtime is getting a live-action film adaption. Developer Mob Entertainment says it struck a deal with the entertainment company Legendary after fielding “several competitive offers.” Transformers producer Don Murphy and filmmaker Susan Montford will develop and produce the adaptation.

Poppy Playtime is a first-person adventure game, where players take on the role of a former toy factory worker who returns to their now-abandoned workplace. As players explore Playtime Co., they have to solve several puzzles while trying to avoid Huggy Wuggy, the monstrous toy lurking in the factory. The base version of Poppy Playtime is free to play across PC and console, but its developers released chapters players can purchase to continue the adventure.

The similarly viral game Five Nights at Freddy’s also received a live-action film, but it’s far from the only game-to-movie adaptation we’ve seen lately. Following the breakout success of the Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. movies, other studios have picked up adaptations of The Legend of Zelda, Minecraft, and even Stray.
