A tiny world

Three ants, one cherry, questionable decisions

Comedy comes from oversized surroundings, clumsy physical reactions, and friends conspiring together at grass level.

🌱

Move together

Scuttle under towering dandelion leaves, scale mossy log bridges, and reconnoitre the garden alongside up to five teammates.

🔍

Discover something

Stumble across giant dropped buttons, sunny puddle reflections, half-eaten biscuits, and curious clay landmarks.

💡

React & scheme

Huddle under a flowerpot, whisper a hairbrained scheme, and attempt coordinated leaps that rarely go according to plan.

Kevin

Determined expression, questionable sense of direction. Always leads from the front regardless of whether anyone knows where they are going.

Pip ant portrait Pip ant 3D turntable spin
Pip

High energy and perpetually bouncy. Believes every obstacle in the garden can be resolved by jumping over it repeatedly.

Dot ant portrait Dot ant 3D turntable spin
Dot

Methodical, quiet, and usually the first to locate the dropped biscuit crumb. Watches the others tumble with calm amusement.

Bean ant portrait Bean ant 3D turntable spin
Bean

Sturdy, cautious, and intensely observant. Excellent at holding down the ground while everyone else panics.

Flick ant portrait Flick ant 3D turntable spin
Flick

Curious antenna twitcher. Drawn like a magnet to shiny candy wrappers, droplets of dew, and dangerous inclines.

Moss ant portrait Moss ant 3D turntable spin
Moss

Mellow and steady. Enjoys basking in warm sunlight on terracotta shards more than running anywhere in a hurry.

Handmade origin

A tiny world, first drawn by hand

Original sketchbook pages still guide the look of Bored Ants: small characters imagining outsized adventures in an ant-sized world.

Every character began as a hand-drawn pencil study with distinct eyes, boots, and expressive silhouettes. We translated those drawings directly into tactile 3D clay figures, keeping their wobbly charm, thumbprint textures, and miniature proportions.

The garden world is built around oversized everyday objects: weathered flowerpots, dropped buttons, picnic blankets, and tall clover stems that feel like a forest canopy to a creature five millimetres tall.

In the sketchbook (Future concepts)

The Garden is the current playable world. Kitchen counter heists, forest trails, and town sidewalk adventures are exploratory concepts for future expansions.
