Operations during the COVID-19 pandemic

Update April 28th, 2020

  • Our team of employees will continue to work from home for the forseeable future, so that other businesses in Maryland that can not so easily work from home can begin to open up first. We received a PPP loan to cover our payroll for the next 8 weeks - we are here, we are working - let us know if you need any games! 
  • Our warehouse is fully operational again!  They were declared essential from the beginning, because they are a courier for critical repair parts in the DC area, but we didn't want to push them to ship for us until they were ready to take on more work.  They are situated and ready and can now ship anything we need shipped. If your local game store has started shipping or has curbside service - please support them. If you don't have a local store, you can order from store.LooneyLabs.com
  • We have delayed our May 21st launch of SpongeBob Fluxx until enough of our stores are open again for it to make sense to release the product. The movie has also been delayed to July 31st.

For adventurers, Avengers, and everyone in between - Marvel Fluxx and Jumanji Fluxx are coming, and we’re so excited we can hardly stand it!  But WHEN, you ask? WHEN?!? There is a lot of confusion about the release date on this product, and we’re here to clear it all up!

Posted: June 2019

We are very happy to announce today (Press Release) that Looney Labs has once again partnered with Playdek to make Fluxx available to smart phones and tablets everywhere. Back in 2012 we partnered with Playdek to make an electronic version of Fluxx for the iPhone. The app was awesome - Andy has played over 3000 games with fans on his phone over the last 7 years!
 
Coming July 18th, 2019, the new updated app will run on both iOS and Android and will also be coming to PC and Mac via Steam later this year.
 
The app works for 2-4 players in three modes: pass-and-play, AI opponent(s), and online play. We are particularly excited about the new chat feature! There will be both in-game and global chat interfaces. One of our goals for digital Fluxx is to allow fans to find friends worldwide to enjoy a game of Fluxx with. Being able to chat with those friends as you play is part of the fun. We’re looking forward to playing a game of digital Fluxx with you!

The Card Game of Ever Changing Doctors!

Posted: November 2017
img
On November 23, 2017 we will release our newest variety of Fluxx, featuring one of our most-requested themes: Doctor Who!
 
So what will Doctor Who Fluxx contain? The Doctor, of course, in as many different incarnations as we could squeeze in! We’ve got everyone from the first Doctor all the way up to the twelfth. But not the 13th… she’s still in the process of regenerating! But we’re already planning a promo card appearance for her later. (Same with the War Doctor.)
 
What makes all these Doctors particularly fascinating is the way they interact. To begin with, since they are all the same person, many of the Goals can be satisfied with any version of The Doctor...
