Created by MiniToon, PIGGY has become one of the most popular and unique experiences in indie gaming. In the game, you team up with your friends to escape PIGGY, or play as PIGGY to hunt your friends and prevent their escape.

PIGGY has over 11.4B game visits and more than 6B views of fan-made videos on YouTube.

“Disguise has seen significant success in designing against episodic horror video game IPs and it is excited to add PIGGY into that genre for us,” said Tara Hefter, President and GM of Disguise, Inc. “The popularity of the game combined with the spooky theme makes PIGGY the perfect candidate for a costume range that will appeal to the many fans of the franchise.”
