Overview

TaskTown is a free-to-play idle game from developer NookDuck and publisher NEXTRUNNERS, released on October 28, 2026. The core idea is simple but clever: every click and keystroke you make on your computer is converted into Town Coin, the in-game currency used to rebuild and expand a peaceful town inhabited by animal residents.

It's a desktop companion that rewards your everyday computer use without demanding extra attention.

Highlights

  • Idle progression: The town continues to grow even when you're focused on work or study, as residents use their assigned tools to develop the area.
  • Casual and family-friendly: With a cute 3D platformer aesthetic and a relaxed pace, it's suitable for players of all ages.
  • Free to play: No upfront cost to start building your town, and it supports multiplayer and Family Sharing.

Who It's For

TaskTown is perfect for anyone who spends long hours at a computer and enjoys seeing progress happen in the background. It's also a great choice for families looking for a gentle, non-intrusive game to keep open while doing other tasks.

If you like idle games or desktop companions that blend productivity with play, this one is worth a look.
