by

20th Century Studios has announced a movie adaptation of the popular game 99 Nights in the Forest.

The studio revealed on Monday, April 13th, that it has acquired the rights to a game created by Grandma’s Favourite Games and available on Roblox.

Currently, there’s no writer or director for the project. However, the founders of Grandmas Favourite Games – Alec Kieft, Matthew Hufton, and Cameron Angland – will be executive producers.

Okay, so I’ve been playing this game called 99 Nights in the Forest, and it’s seriously intense! Basically, you’re dropped into this creepy, haunted forest and have to survive for 99 nights. It’s not just about avoiding the dangers, though – you’re also trying to rescue four kids who’ve gone missing. Lots of monsters to fight off while you’re at it, so it’s a real action-survival challenge!

Released in March 2025, this game is incredibly popular on Roblox, ranking as the seventh most-played game ever with almost 26 billion visits and a player approval rating of 90.6%.
