After Bedtime: a party game where the toys wake up when the lights go out
The family is asleep. The toys climb out of the chest to explore the whole house, from the bedroom to the basement. Wind each other up, find the Lost Pieces, and watch out for whoever wants to be sold.
After Bedtime isn’t open to the public yet. While you wait, Candlewake, our haunted-house party game, is free to play right now.
Play Candlewake free while you waitWhat is After Bedtime?
After Bedtime is an original online party game by Rucksy for 3 to 6 players. Every player is a toy on their own phone, and a TV or laptop can show the house. Short on friends? AI toys fill the empty seats.
The house builds itself as you sneak through it at toy height: Downstairs, Upstairs and the Basement, different every night. Pick up Trinkets, survive the Bumps and find the Lost Pieces. When the night-light flickers, one of 30 different endings begins, and one toy may be a Sellout who wants to be sold.
How a night goes
Sneak out
Tiptoe out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Every room you reach joins a house that is different every night.
Wind each other up
Share a room with a friend and wind them up: two extra moves next turn. Pick up Trinkets, survive the Bumps, find the Lost Pieces.
Beat the Flicker
One Lost Piece too many and the night-light flickers. Secret plans are whispered, and one toy may be a Sellout.
What makes it different
Wind-Up
Once a round, a toy may wind up another toy in its room by tapping that toy’s seat. The wound-up toy gets two extra moves on its next turn, and a little key mark shows on its seat.
It costs nothing, so friends wind each other up and race around the house together. After the Flicker, watch who you are helping.
