Comedic Co-op Minigame Romp "Clowntown" Launches on PC Jan. 18

Crack Up with Co-Op Minigame Romp "Clowntown," Coming to PC Jan. 18

SEATTLE - Nov. 12, 2026 - Clowntown, a high laugh-per-minute co-op minigame festival for 2-8 jokers and a very natural, definitely not out-of-left-field turn for 30XX developer Batterystaple Games, giggles to glory on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2027, on PC via Steam.

Gather up to seven of your best friends and prepare for a gauntlet of mostly-cooperative minigames that play you! Over 100 unique minigames and action puzzles stand between you and the Ringmaster over a 5-6 hour campaign, each designed to make you think, plan, fail, laugh, then use your team's two collective brain cells to grasp sweet victory. Teamwork makes the dream work, but what you have is probably good enough.

Spell deceptively simple words in Spelling Bee. Just as you get comfortable, Spelling Wasp throws "polytetrafluoroethylene" into the mix, adds a timer, then forces you to collect the letters from literal swarming bees in Bees Spelling. Build magnificent skyscrapers in Optimal OSHA Compliance, and study the rigors of Ball Law in Ball Matchers and Ball Heterogeneity-ers.

Ever have a friend you just want to kick into a neverending well? In This is Sparta, your vengeful dream can finally come true. Reveal yourself to be a horrible friend in Friendship Test: Is their favorite fruit Apple, Banana, Pear, or… Mustard? Build upsetting snowmen in Ballistic Snowman, test your noggins via Trivia's dubious questions, and create beautiful (terrible) works of art in Clown Collage.

There's a dedicated honk button, and you can't mute it.

Keep the party going after the campaign with curated minigames in Clowntown's Party Modes; shout for bragging rights in Contest Mode, or relive every groan and giggle-worthy escapade in Co-op Mode. Tons of character customization options let you strut across spikes, trampolines, and shifting platforms in style. Offend eyes and ears alike with over 40 customizable honks!

"Clowntown's design doc literally started with 'there's a dedicated honk button, and you can't mute it,'" says Batterystaple founder Chris King. "The game's just 'everything that made us laugh', the game - we hope it's as fun for you (and up to 7 friends) as it's been for us making it."

Clowntown hops in the clown car on Monday, Jan. 18, 2027, on PC via Steam. Supported languages at launch include English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, Korean, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
