Oh man, where to even start with this whirlwind called Wooster Games and their crazy ride with Animal Company? It’s like one of those wild stories you hear at a party and think, “No way that happened!” But it did, and here I am, telling you about it.
So, picture this: earlier this year, Wooster casually drops the bomb that their game, Animal Company, hit over a million folks diving in every month. Like, can you even imagine that many people? Anyway, then they tossed out another nugget—hitting the top five moneymakers on Quest in just, what…a year? Mind-blowing, right?
Animal Company rolled out on Quest last July. Feel old yet? It’s got this wacky mash-up thing going on. Think Gorilla Tag’s wild arm-flinging meets some mysterious chaos from Lethal Company. Add a sprinkle of horror and mix in some downright goofy interactions, and bam, you’ve got a hit. Maybe it’s the name that’s sticking in people’s minds? Or maybe it’s just the chaos. Who knows.
I’ve been trying to keep track of who’s on top of the Quest money-making game. It’s like watching horses at the track. Today it’s Animal Company up there with Yeeps 2.0, Beat Saber, and Gorilla Tag. Tomorrow? Who can say?
Oh, and there was a chat with Meta where Wooster spilled some beans. They didn’t even start making money until three months in! Just waited until they saw people were hooked, and yeah, they were. Average folks spent like 100 minutes a day playing. That’s almost like sitting through a whole movie. And TikTok? A billion views! That’s enough scrolling to make your thumb sore.
Here’s a little twist—over six months, they saw something like a nine-time growth in people actually paying to play. Nuts, right? Now they’re sitting pretty as number five in terms of cash-reeling games on Quest.
Did I mention their holiday season was totally bonkers? Between Christmas and March 2025, they upped their daily active users from 145K to half a mil. Half a million. I mean, I can’t even count that high without stopping for a snack.
If your curiosity’s not satisfied yet—or maybe you’re just procrastinating—there are more details in that interview Wooster did. They’ve got some kind of five-minute video recap too. Have fun diving into that rabbit hole.
