About the Game

Ever wanted to know what would happen if you hooked up a fire extinguisher to a crate of TNT inside a room full of pinball bouncers and proximity mines.
Well now you can.

Welcome to The Chaotic Workshop, a cartoon puzzle sandbox game which challenges you to solve its puzzles by any means necessary. From rockets to pinball bouncers, tennis ball cannons to proximity mines, it is up to you of how to get the job done. With over 100 items, 80 levels and a full-fledged sandbox level editor, the game becomes whatever you’re imagination can make it.

There's no hand holding in this Rube Goldberg style game, and with only a basic Tutorial, you are left to your own devices to experiment, design and engineer, different contraptions to see what impact or result hooking up different items together can have.

Your Challenges

The Chaotic Workshop starts off with 80 unlockable levels for you to try your creative and problem solving skills at. Ranging from having to launch a rocket with a rubber duck, or using proximity mines to make way for a pig, each level forces you to think outside of the box. This level count will grow though with community feedback. This is only the beginning!

Your Choices

With over 100 unlockable items in your toolbox, you have the freedom to create what ever you have at your fingertips. But much of the time, you'll be constrained to what you have! Fear not as there's often more than one way to solve each puzzle!

Your Creativity

Ever wanted to know what would happen if you hooked up a Fire Extinguisher to a wooden crate inside a room full of pinball bouncers. Well now you can. With those possible +100 items, your own creativity is the only limit in the Sandbox. Play the puzzles to unlock even more Items to add to your own personal contraptions and share them online with your friends!
