Escape from Playtime · Items & resources

One of the Playtime Theater staff, Björn Bakker, frequently hid these ALL around the theater. It was an innocent prank, but not all were properly cleaned up, leaving some guests and staff with... very unpleasant surprises.

The same Chemists who created the Cat-Bee poison ALSO created the Antidote (partly because it was on the mind, partly because a Lab Assistant in the ICU had already been stung). As more and more poisonous chemicals saw use in the factory, the Antidote became a godsend.

When you need to haul more stuff, stuff it in a backpack!

We once had so many balloons, we had to create a policy for how many could be allowed on each floor. Balloons kept finding their way into critical machines. One nearly caused a catastrophic meltdown in the Gas Production Zone.

EVERYTHING has value. Turn it in to earn favor, or consume it to keep your body strong and healthy.

An early prototype of what would later become the Jump Pad. However, after two too many interns fell to the bottom of a ravine because they couldn't control their direction, the project was abandoned--the dozens of working models tucked into boxes and forgotten.

Bunny Ears are used to psychologically condition smaller experiments into ignoring their physical limitations, allowing them to push their bodies to their absolute jumping limits.

A few of the Playtime staff assigned to work with the smaller toys wanted to... accessorize them. A bell collar was one of the most popular. After an experiment choked to death while wearing one, however, the practice was banned outright.

Playcoins were used as an internal currency for tourists. However, these coins have been abandoned as of 1993.

Playtime Scientists used these dummies for a wide variety of situational tests in the labs, tailoring experiment behaviors around their interactions. After a time, the dummies were left behind in favor of other live test subjects.

Unsurprisingly, Go-Go Goop is the #1 seller among Playtime employees (despite its completely unappealing name). Every machine in the factory sells out of it most days. Again, don't ask what's in it.

An entire warehouse floor here at the factory is dedicated to battery storage. A few misguided employees in Shipping attempted to steal a crate of batteries for the lithium and copper inside. A very special, very hungry box was waiting in the warehouse that night.

Aptly named by Playtime's own Leith Pierre, amused by the New York accent of the assistant he hired SPECIFICALLY to take care of bugs in his office. Bugs are one of Leith's deepest fears--and the reason he held off on the creation of a Bigger Body Cat-Bee for so long.

With the increasing presence of Red Smoke in the factory, our scientists created the Smoke Snatcher to absorb any leaks. The problem is, the machine tends to be unreliable--or even worse, overheat the Red Smoke it caught inside...

A pack of single-use light sources. Pretend it's a fun birthday party, only you're using the glowstick to ward away man-eating toys instead of waving it in the air to children's music.

Since the children of Playcare didn't get to run through sprinklers in the summer, Counselor Tessa Rubin gave them these. Before their introduction, many never even knew you could have fun with water.

Because lab work often entails long hours with minimal breaks, scientists had to get crafty with ways to keep their mind and body running in tip-top shape. One such invention: The Get-Up & Go, could push a body near collapse to perform an additional 12 hours of work. Don't ask what is in it. You don't want to know.

Because the Head of Engineering, Adam Worthy, has quite the temper, the Engineering team attempted to create numerous escape paths from his wrath. The simple "Sneak-in-a-Box" was one of their dumbest--or so says Adam himself.

Sticking magnets in the backpockets of passing co-workers became a recurring prank among the science staff at Playtime, so much so that Dr. White eventually had to step in to relay that they are "very serious scientists trying to do very serious things."

Adam Worthy and his team of engineers tend to push the bounds of sanity with the projects they propose. Among them: "The Immortal Battery." Every attempt just managed to create batteries with too much charge inside however, leaving behind many semi-dangerous flashlight batteries with little to no added value.

In the late 1980s, Innovationists created the PFG - 2000 as a gag to annoy each other in-office--to great effect. Though these antics irritated leadership, the underlying concept would persist. It would eventually receive a significant redesign and find a far more practical purpose in the hands of Playtime Security personnel.

This device is intended to be carried around by all employees who set foot in caves, tunnels, or construction zones. If you fall and nobody sees you, just press the button and wait for a response. We know they're small, but it's important you NOT leave these at home (final warning).

They're not much to look at now, but with a little help from their buddies who still have legs, they'll be up and around in no time. (Probably).

Playtime Co. has used many thread-types in pursuit of a more durable experiment. Because the experiments require FAR more movement, the threading needs to hold up to wear and tear. Twill was one of the threads used, but we ultimately invented our own.

Created in abundance for the Flare Hand. For those working in the darker parts of the factory, these flares are essential. Unless you're Steve Blanch from Janitorial, and you use it light yourself and an oil drum on fire. Not so much of a godsend, then.

Hey, whatever works, ya know? Projectiles can't get through THIS.

THE RENEGADE TOYS HAVE FOUND MANY WAYS TO HOARD THEIR DWINDLING RESOURCES. FOOD. TOOLS. WEAPONS. A FEW SURPRISE HARES HAVE EVEN BEEN FOUND WITH FLAMMABLES STUFFED INSIDE.

In 1992, we created an experimental, completely weatherproof, highly durable fabric. It was supposed to protect employees from the most severe weather and keep the factory operational. However, after three separate employees were lifted into the air and carried a mile down the road during a storm, most employees decided to leave these umbrellas at work (myself included...)

Bits and bobbles from a broken Boogie Bot. Poor guy...

The earliest Innovationists at Playtime worked to create the softest stuffing possible for the soon-to-be-released Bron dolls. Turns out, they did TOO good of a job. Many of the children they tested tore out the stuffing. Appalled, the decision was then made to shift Bron into a hard plastic figure.

Looks like scrap vines from some poor Daisy toys. Even never fully released, she still makes her presence known.

After a particular batch of Doey dough went really, really wrong, the employees responsible decided to save their behinds by pitching this extra hard dough as... cement! (Both employees were fed to 1160 when they asked for royalties.)

Shreds of special synthetic polymer used to create the Long Legs family toys. You think Mommy wants these back?

An abandoned Playcare art supply, it was found that the pastels used in the Art room began to make the children sick. The pigments used in reds, yellows, and oranges contained traces of cadmium pigments--a highly toxic substance linked to respiratory complications. With this realization, these supplies were quickly boxed and stored in the Schoolhouse Storage Tower.

Ever wondered what fits inside a Pug-A-Pillar to make it all wormy? Well, wonder no longer!

Despite carrying his name, Sawyer Solvent was NOT created by Dr. Harley Sawyer. Chemist Dr. Anthony Carrizales, its actual creator, simply named it to "reflect the glowing personality of my former colleague, as he tended to dissolve anyone he came in contact with."

Hey, if ever you need back-up parts, it might be handy to have these stashed somewhere.

Old toy parts originating from around the time of The Theater Incident. Multiple Resource analysis Specialists lost their lives getting these parts, only for them to end up... here?
