Once Upon a Puppet is an adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment, released for Nintendo Switch on June 26, 2025. Set within a forgotten magical theater, it follows Pip, a small puppet facing a crisis before the annual performance can begin.

The theater’s Spark of Imagination has been taken by the Maestro, leaving its magic in danger. Pip travels through enchanted acts and scenes to recover it, meet other puppets, uncover old secrets, and protect the world of the stage.

A theatrical quest

Pip’s journey centers on courage, friendship, and storytelling. Other puppet characters encountered along the way have their own tales and abilities, offering help or presenting challenges as the search for the missing Spark continues.

Puppet-based puzzles

Platforming and puzzle-solving are built around switching between puppet forms. Different forms bring distinct skills, including higher jumps, moving heavy objects, and gliding over gaps. These transformations are used to navigate obstacles, interact with props, and activate mechanisms throughout theater-themed environments.

Exploration and encounters

The game features detailed storybook-style locations inspired by varying theatrical genres, including forests and cityscapes. Hidden paths, scattered Imagination Sparks, and environmental clues reward careful exploration. Pip also faces the Maestro’s unusual minions in boss encounters that call for strategic use of puppet abilities.
