Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • July 2026 Series D funds expansion, robotics, AI, and marketplace growth.
  • Nestlé's partnership strengthens Wonder's B2B supply chain and foodservice credibility.
  • Long Island and Virginia openings show accelerating geographic rollout in 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Grubhub integration triggered 500 layoffs in February 2025, signaling ongoing overlap cuts.
  • Wonder's capital intensity stays extreme; expansion and robotics demand repeated financing.
  • IPO pressure in 2027 creates existential execution risk if unit economics stay weak.

What makes WonderWorks unique

  • Wonder raised $650 million in July 2026, valuing it at $9 billion.
  • It combines owned restaurants, Blue Apron, and Grubhub into one meal-time platform.
  • Its footprint tripled from 46 to 140 locations since May 2025.

Chaotic social game 'Duck Duck' out now on Roblox.

Chaotic social game 'Duck Duck' out now on Roblox. 2 hours ago Become a Member Today, developer Wonder Works Studio launched their chaotic social game title 'Duck Duck' on Roblox - marking their first original IP launch in over two years. From the studio behind the breakout hit 'SpongeBob Tower Defense' (with over 672M visits since its launch!), Duck Duck is expected to see new content every Friday, continuing the studio's signature weekly live-ops cadence. In Duck Duck, players will see geese chase ducks, ducks avoid geese, and the last duck standing wins. Players earn Bread through matches, quests, and achievements, then spend it on 300+ unlockable, tradeable accessories with billions of unique combinations to customize their duck. Duck Duck breaks from many Roblox conventions by replacing platform avatars with fully original characters, a bespoke progression system, player trading, and over 300 unlockable cosmetics. The result feels closer to a premium indie multiplayer game than a traditional Roblox experience. "SpongeBob Tower Defense proved XboxEra Ltd could take an iconic brand and build something players actually wanted to come back to every week. Duck Duck is different. Duck Duck is the game where XboxEra Ltd stopped borrowing someone else's world and built one of its own. It looks and feels like a game you'd expect to buy on Steam, but it's free, it's on Roblox, and it replaces the standard Roblox avatar with a custom duck that players can shape, collect for, and make unmistakably theirs. To me, that's where Roblox is heading: not just bigger trends, but stronger identities. Games that feel like worlds. Games players want to belong to. Duck Duck is its bet on that future," said Zach Letter, CEO of Wonder Works Studio. Roblox is a free-to-play platform that is available across PC, Xbox, PlayStation consoles, and mobile. An account is required to play Duck Duck on the platform, which you can learn more about here. Enjoying DayOne? Do XboxEra Ltd a favour, and make XboxEra Ltd a 'Preferred Source on Google' - that way, you'll only be delivered more gaming coverage from its team. Head over and let XboxEra Ltd know your thoughts in the DayOne Forums, the perfect place to chat about games if you're a little more old-school and prefer things in a longform format. Prefer the chaos of live and fast moving conversation? Come and make some noise in the lively DayOne Community Discord Server instead. If you're rocking a DayOne Membership, both places give special access for its supporters, and you'll unlock a ton of exclusive content, just for you.
