“ | What's the time? Playtime! | ” |
— Playtime Co.'s slogan |
Playtime Co. is a toy-making company, featured in the indie-horror game Poppy Playtime. It is the main location where the game takes place. It was established in 1930, with the intent to entertain children across the globe, becoming the most famous and well-known toy manufacturing company of it's time.
Timeline
After Elliot Ludwig divorced his wife Molly in 1930, he founded his company Playtime Co. In the 1960s, a family death pushed Ludwig to his lowest. It's unknown who died, although he continued to work on his company. He would later create big toys like Poppy Playtime, which helped his company grow. He also hired people like Jimmy Roth to help his company thrive.
After years of creating new toys, many toys became popular. Out of all the toys ever created by Playtime Co., Huggy Wuggy was the most popular and memorable toy. During an unknown time, Playtime Co. offered factory tour guides for $2.99 per visitor, although it is speculated that this was around the time Poppy gained popularity as both her commercial tape and the tour guide' commercial tape are put into one VHS tape.
Playtime Co. experimented with their toys, trying to revive a dead rat with poppy flowers. While the experiment failed, Elliot Ludwig thought that something larger than a rat would yield better results. It is revealed within the documents that the orphans Playtime Co. adopted possess these toys. Marie Payne, for example, possesses Mommy Long Legs. It is presumed that also Poppy Playtime is possessed by Elliot Ludwig's adopted daughter, and she was the presumed family member that pushed him to his lowest.
One day, all of Playtime Co.'s employees' mysteriously disappeared, and the factory was shut down. The Player, an ex-employee of Playtime Co., would explore the factory after getting a letter from these supposed employees that they are still in the factory, and the player must find them.
