What this video covers
Wicked Makers built a fully immersive Poppy Playtime escape room around their previously constructed life-sized DogDay animatronic, constructing a detailed jail cell set complete with puzzles, traps, and interactive surprises. Friends Evan and Katelyn were invited to test the experience against a 20-minute countdown. The build combines 3D printing, foam fabrication, servo mechanics, and pneumatic elements to bring the video game environment to life. It serves as an inspiring example of giving a large animatronic build a purposeful, repeatable interactive context.
Key takeaways

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
