Daycare (Story)

Daycare (Story) is the original cooperative horror-adventure game by Parwaz Studios where 6-12 players spend two nights at a daycare run by a friendly caretaker named Lilly - only to discover that something is very wrong. Released in September 2019 and inspired by SamsonXVI's Camping Stories, it popularized the "daycare horror" subgenre on Roblox and has since accumulated over 527 million visits and 1 million favorites, making it one of the most significant entries in Roblox cooperative horror. Warning labels note scary scenes and flashing lights.

The game follows a scripted 2-night story with vote-based decisions that lead to one of three distinct endings:

• 🎭 Good Ending - vote not to press the button, smash the capsule with a hammer, escape through a rising-liquid obstacle course, and watch the ghost of Lilly defeat the monster
• 🎭 Bad Ending - vote to press the button; the captive is burned and Lilly reveals she is the monster in disguise
• 💎 Secret Ending - be the last surviving player, reach the monster's base, and kill it with a sword
• ⚔️ Become The Monster - a 666 R$ gamepass lets you play as the monster and hunt your friends during any round
• 🗺️ Lilly and the monster - the central mystery of the story; Lilly's dual identity is the narrative twist the game is built around
• ⏳ Two-night structure - the story escalates through a series of scripted events over two in-game nights with 12 scripted scenes

The Victory badge has been earned by just 4.1 million of the 527 million players who have joined - a roughly 1.6 percent success rate that confirms how challenging a full run is. A Fandom wiki with 202 pages documents every ending, character, and story beat.

Daycare Story is the recommended starting point before playing Daycare 2, which continues the storyline with updated mechanics and two different conclusions.
