Wacky Nursery

In the world of indie games, there is no shortage of titles that make players laugh and shudder. Wacky Nursery is one of them—a simple pixel-style game, but with a strange story hidden inside a seemingly harmless environment: a nursery.

Wacky Nursery Story

You play as a new employee at a special nursery. The main task sounds simple: watch the children, keep them happy, and complete the daily requests. However, right from the beginning, you will encounter strange situations—children say unexpected things, toys appear where they should not, and strange noises come from the next room. Gradually, clues reveal that this nursery has a secret… and you are right at the center of it.

Wacky Nursery Gameplay

• Move & interact: Use the arrow keys or WASD to move around the nursery; click or interact with the keys to pick up, place, or use items.
• Time Management: You must complete many small tasks during the day—feeding, changing, cleaning toys—before time runs out.
• Puzzles & Exploration: Some items and details in the environment will help you solve unexpected situations or open up hidden storylines.
• Avoid trouble: If you leave a baby alone for too long or mess up a task, you can trigger unusual events that will cause chaos in the game.

Effective gameplay tips

• Watch the environment carefully – Many small details, such as toy placement or baby expressions, can signal upcoming events.
• Complete priority tasks first – Some tasks, if delayed, will lead to a chain reaction that will cause chaos throughout the nursery.
• Keep important items close by – There are rare items that only appear once, and you will need them to unlock hidden storylines.
• Explore after work—When you finish work early, try going to areas that are not often visited; you might find interesting secrets.
• Observe the background noise - Unusual noises often indicate upcoming events or the arrival of unfamiliar characters.

Wacky Nursery is more than just a fun nursery management game. Behind the cute facade, it cleverly incorporates puzzle-solving, exploration and even a few creepy elements. If you like experiences that are both humorous and make you wonder, “What the hell is going on?”, then this game is worth a try, especially since it can be played entirely in the browser without installation. If you're into more creepy experiences, check out The Midnight Game.
