| “ | The fun starts here! Visitors love seeing the giant Huggy Wuggy right when they enter Playtime Co. There are seven different doors leading off the room, and you'll walk through here every day as you move from one area of the factory to the next. Don’t forget to say “Hi” to Huggy Wuggy as you pass! | ” |

The Lobby, also known as the Foyer and the Hub, is a location seen in Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze of Poppy Playtime.
This location was the center of several other notable locations, such as the Make-A-Friend Room, the Theater, and the Innovation room, as well as being the place where Huggy Wuggy stood while pretending to be a statue.
Appearance[]
The Lobby serves as a central hub within the Playtime Co. factory, connecting various sections such as Innovation, Theater, Cafeteria, and others. It is adorned with a prominent Playtime Co. sign, beneath which stands Huggy Wuggy, a popular attraction for visitors. Below is a description of Huggy Wuggy and a brief history on Playtime Co., in addition to the button that activates a song about Huggy. Although the Lobby may seem to be for exploring and visiting all the areas in the factory, only two of the rooms are accessible when The Player arrives. In addition, the room features several murals and cutouts around each doorway, each displaying a familiar mascot.
Gameplay[]
Using GrabPack's Blue Hand on a scanner, The Player can access the Lobby. Entering the area, they see Huggy Wuggy in the center, and among other closed rooms, there is only one accessible: the Make-A-Friend hallway. Using the Blue Hand on another scanner of the same hand, the power is abruptly cut off, and a key mysteriously appears in Huggy Wuggy's hand, and The Player picks it up using the Blue Hand. The key unlocks the door that accesses the Power Room, and then The Player enters to restore power.
Having accomplished this, they return, but Huggy disappears. Despite this, The Player uses the Blue Hand again on the same scanner where the power was cut, but now manages to unlock the gate that accesses the hallway to Make-A-Friend. Getting a little closer, Huggy's hand, which was previously on the doorknob, closes the door on the left a little. With the gate leading directly to Make-A-Friend closed, The Player has no choice but to enter through the door that leads to the Storage and Supply room.

Trivia[]
- Once The Player turns on the power, Huggy Wuggy disappears from his plaque and the spotlights turn on, shining on his empty stage, emphasizing the creepy atmosphere. Prior to this, despite Huggy standing on his plaque, the spotlights are turned off.
- There are multiple windows on the dome ceiling, but only one is open and a small amount of sunlight is shining in the room, somewhat on Huggy Wuggy. The rest of the windows seem to be painted or covered in something black.
- There are several boxes near Huggy Wuggy (not the cardboard boxes) containing Huggy Wuggy toys. However, one of the boxes has a Huggy toy that seems to be sitting down, with blacked out eyes and a large grin on his face which is showing his teeth. The teeth completely covers his mouth.
- It was revealed that the Theater door is accessible in PROJECT: PLAYTIME.
