Toikido is teaming up with Chuck E. Cheese to bring an immersive Piñata Smashlings experience to young fans both in-game and in-store.

This groundbreaking collaboration marks the first official integration of Chuck E. Cheese’s characters into the Roblox platform. Supersocial and Toikido created the Piñata Smashlings game on Roblox. It’s a three-way marriage of digital and physical entertainment.

The fully integrated three-month campaign, set to launch in October and run until the end of the year, will take place at participating Chuck E. Cheese fun centers across the United States and Canada. The promotion promises a range of exciting events, including product sampling weekends and an opportunity for fans to design their own Piñata Smashlings character.

Players will have the exclusive ability to collect Chuck E. Cheese characters within the new Piñata Smashlings Roblox game.

“Chuck E. Cheese is a favorite destination for kids across the U.S. and Canada – and a fantastic partner for Piñata Smashlings,” said Darran Garnham, CEO of Toikido, in a statement. “Like Toikido, Chuck E. Cheese is dedicated to providing unique and memorable character-focused entertainment, and we look forward to a successful collaboration that will bring Chuck E. Cheese into the Piñataverse and deliver a range of innovative and fun experiences for kids and their families, in-game and in-store.”

Melissa Mcleanas, a vice president at Chuck E. Cheese, said in a statement, “Toikido’s focus and emphasis on operating at ‘the speed of culture’ makes them an ideal partner for us as our global media, licensing, and entertainment division grows, and is taking our iconic IP and characters to new dimensions. The expansive digital universe of Piñata Smashlings paired with the global scale of our fun centers creates the perfect platform to entertain kids and families everywhere.”

The partnership will enable players of the Piñata Smashlings Roblox game worldwide to digitally engage with the Chuck E. Cheese characters as Smashlings, both in-game and in the metaverse. Additionally, the collaboration includes various physical in-store activities, digital signage, prizes, and two product sampling weekends at participating Chuck E. Cheese locations on October 21-22 and November 11-12.
