Poppy Playtime is an episodic horror video game developed and published by American indie developer Mob Entertainment. The player takes the role of a former employee of toy-making company Playtime Co., who revisits its abandoned toy factory 10 years after its staff's disappearance. The player navigates through a first-person perspective and must solve puzzles, some requiring a gadget named the GrabPack, to progress while avoiding various enemies.
The first chapter was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows on October 12, 2021, and later ported to Android and iOS on March 11, 2022, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on December 20, 2023, and the Nintendo Switch on December 25. The second chapter was released for Microsoft Windows on May 5, and for iOS and Android on August 15, and the third chapter was released on January 30, 2024. All chapters after the first will be released as downloadable content. The game garnered positive reviews for its gameplay on its initial release, but the second chapter received mixed reviews for its numerous bugs. Additionally, the developers received harsh criticism for announcing non-fungible tokens of in-game content.
Poppy Playtime was well-received upon its initial release, receiving praise for its atmosphere, story, and character design,[28][29][30] as well as being compared to the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise,[20] with Screen Rant's Austin Geiger calling Poppy Playtime "more engaging" than Security Breach.[31] However, the first chapter has been criticized for its short length, claimed to being roughly 30–45 minutes long,[25][32] and some initially regarded the game as a Five Nights at Freddy's clone.[ The game also quickly gained exposure on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, with videos on the former reaching millions of views, as well as games based on Poppy Playtime appearing on Roblox. The game is widely regarded as being part of the so-called "mascot horror" subgenre, which rose in popularity during 2014 with the initial release of Five Nights at Freddy's.

Chapter 2 received mixed reviews on Steam, receiving praise for its voice acting and ending, but also being criticized for its number of bugs and performance issues, including audio issues, crashes, lag, and the so-called "Barry glitch". Mob Entertainment responded with an apology and began rolling out patches for the aforementioned issues.

Poppy Playtime was nominated for the "Most Stream-friendly Game" award at the 2022 Indie Live Expo Awards in Japan.
