About Terrible Toybox

Terrible Toybox released three adventure games from 2017 to 2022 under Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. Thimbleweed Park revives the Maniac Mansion verb style across five playable oddballs. Delores adds a free mini sequel about a game dev homecoming. Return to Monkey Island brings Guybrush back for the true series closer.

Play Thimbleweed Park first, then Delores, then Return to Monkey Island, since jokes and engine craft build in that line. Thimbleweed runs 12 hours of dual timeline mystery. Delores runs one tight hour. Monkey Island runs 10 hours and pays off decades of fan lore, so save it for last.

Good to know

Release order matches the intended joke and lore buildup. Thimbleweed Park ships with casual and hard paths, so new players should pick casual first. Delores plays free on Steam as a short coda to the town. Return to Monkey Island adds a hint book and casual mode that keeps puzzles smooth. Play all three with a notebook handy for map style puzzle chains.
