The countdown to a brand new Bluey story is officially on! ‘Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen’ sees show creator Joe Brumm return with a brand story featuring the whole Heeler family; set within a drawn-to-life world full of treasure, magic and even a… Bingoose?
In an exclusive look behind the making of the game, Joe is joined by friend and collaborator Halfbrick CEO Shaineil ‘Shaz’ Deo to introduce fans young and old to Bluey’s latest adventure. They share how a long-standing friendship has evolved into a creative partnership that inspired Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen, a joyful new story-driven video game launching this December.
Their partnership began in 2013, when Brumm, who had just seen his animated pilot Dan the Man go viral, decided to reach out to Halfbrick, the team behind Fruit Ninja, the first mobile game he ever played. At the time, he was working with a company to develop Dan the Man into a game and series, but progress had stalled. “I thought, well, I might ring these guys up, these Fruit Ninja guys, they seem to know what they’re doing,” he recalls. “I expected them to be in Silicon Valley. I was Googling them, and it turned out they were just a couple of suburbs away.” Joe phoned Halfbrick, and that chance call, answered by Shainiel himself, sparked a friendship that would bring a Bluey game to life.

For the first time, Brumm publicly acknowledges that Bandit — Bluey’s dad — is based on himself. “Bandit’s got a gold pen that can turn everything gold. He’s a bit of a cross between King Midas and David Lee Roth. Yeah – He’s me. I like winding my kids up, creating little challenges… if there’s something they really want, if they really want the gold pen, then it’s fun.” Shainiel adds, “I could see that Joe is writing himself into this story 100%. That also resonates with me… It’s like every dad’s fantasy, you know, just rocking out.”
Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen will launch globally on 11 December 2025 exclusively on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, followed by Google Play on 10 January 2026 and offer a free experience of the game, with an optional one-off payment to unlock all levels. Halfbrick, in partnership with PM Studios, will also be bringing the game to PC, Nintendo Switch™, Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S later in 2026.
