Phew – what a night! Thank you to everyone who came to the 2nd Annual Impy Awards, to help us celebrate all of our amazing nominees and celebrate Dreams 1st Anniversary with us. Who knew that a giant mechanical whale could move like this? Not us. And we did what made it!
Don’t worry if you missed our puppet and dream award ceremony – you can catch the replay here.
Regardless of all the cake eaters and pixie shakes, there was the little question of crowning this year’s winners. We would like to say a big thank you to our very special guest industry judges, who assisted us in the monumental task of choosing only one winner in each category. The final lists were just a tiny part of all the amazing things that have happened in Dreams over the past 12 months. Big thumbs up to everyone who has played, created and shared their hearts this year.

So many good things. If you fancy checking it out for yourself, you can just start Dreams or download the free demo to explore our playlists of winners, nominees and honorable mentions. Oh, and our glittering and glamorous Impys hub is still live in-game (we’ve had the Imps cleaned up since last night’s wild party, fear not) – you can browse all of this year’s winning entries, meet some familiar faces and even sniff out some secret prizes. Here’s a tip to get you started: try chatting with one of the puppets working in the gallery…
We hope you had as much fun as we did and enjoyed some of our cheeky nods to the community. Thanks to everyone who logged in and visited the hub, and everyone who went the extra mile to help us make this event truly special. Let us know through the usual social media what you thought of the changes we made this year based on your previous feedback. We are already busy sorting through a bunch of ideas for the following Display. (Did we hear “Mechawhale dance party”? No? We sure did…)
