SOME GIFTS YOU KEEP. SOME KEEP YOU.

Avery Tannenbaum didn't ask for a present. She got one anyway. Sleek. Black. A headset unlike anything on the market. Turns out she's not the only one. People all over the world tied to virtual design and neural tech are unwrapping the same device. No instructions. No branding. No clue who sent them.

Fun.

Then Avery's headset lights up in the middle of a family gathering, right as her grandmother, Nana Rai, drops dead. Coincidence? Nope. The headset isn't a toy. It's a signal. The starting line for something called the Hunt.

Now stuck in her grandmother's estate, Avery finds herself surrounded by things that don't belong in a normal house: forgotten toys, carvings that hum with secrets, and entire rooms wired like hidden servers. With her cousins at her side, she digs deeper, chasing cryptic clues left behind by Nana Rai. Curiosity turns into obsession. Obsession turns into survival. Because the Hunt?

The Hunt isn't a game. It's a test. And failing doesn't come with a reset button.

Toymaker: Return of the Lost Toys is a sci-fi mystery that blends immersive technology, family secrets, and a forgotten legacy clawing its way back into the present. Perfect for fans of Warcross, The Maze Runner, and A Series of Unfortunate Events, it asks one question:

What if the toys we abandon don't stop waiting for us?
