What is Toy Repair Shop?

Toy Repair Shop is a cozy decoration game by Clap Clap Games, playable free on Poki. Customers bring in worn-out toys and you restore them "to their former glory". Poki gives three examples: brush the hair of a princess doll, clean up an old toy car, or reconnect the wires in a little robot. Once a toy works again you can go the extra mile with decorations, paint or glitter, and the goal is that every customer leaves smiling.

Clap Clap Games' own page sums it up in three words — Repair. Clean. Customize. — and describes "a satisfying workshop loop with a new toy waiting on every bench."

Poki lists it as a November 2026 release in Decoration Games, trending and rated 4.3 from more than 3,000 votes when we checked on 11 November 2026. It works on desktop, phone and tablet. The same studio also made Snake Vs Human and Tiny Sticker Town on Poki.

How to start: what you see on level 1

When the game loads you are in a warm wooden workshop with shelves of tools. On Level 1 two children stand at the counter — a girl holding a doll and a boy with a toy police car — each with a Select button. You choose which toy to work on first.

Two counters sit at the top of the screen, a pink currency and gold coins, both starting at zero, plus a sound toggle. From there:

1. Click Select under the toy you want to fix.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts for each repair step.
3. Clean the toy until it shines.
4. Customize it with the colors and extras you like.
5. Hand it back to the customer and move on to the next level.

The game is controlled entirely by clicking or tapping, so there are no keys to learn.

How to play: the repair-clean-customize loop

Each toy goes through the same three stages that Clap Clap Games lists on its site:

Repair is about noticing what is wrong. Look over the whole toy — missing parts, loose wires, broken pieces — before you start clicking.

Clean is the most satisfying step. Brushing and polishing usually means dragging over every part of the toy until it is spotless; missing a corner is the usual reason a step does not finish.

Customize is optional in spirit but it is where the game becomes creative. Pick a color scheme, add decorations and finish with glitter.

Tips for each type of repair

Dolls

Brushing hair takes patience. Work from the top down in long strokes, and check the ends — tangles at the bottom are easy to miss.

Toy cars

Cleaning a car means covering every surface, including wheels and corners. Rotate your attention around the whole toy rather than scrubbing one spot.

Robots

Wiring puzzles are about matching. Follow each wire to its end before you connect it, and look for whatever on-screen hint shows where it belongs.

General

• Finish the repair before decorating. Restoration comes first in the official description; glitter on a broken toy is not finished.
• Look at the customer. The goal is a happy customer, so a toy that looks cared for — clean, fixed, nicely decorated — is the aim.
• Play in short sessions. It is designed as a calm, cozy game you can pick up between other things.
• Use sound for feedback. Many cozy games use little sounds to tell you a step is complete; keep audio on if you can.

Decorating ideas

• Match the owner. Choose colors that suit the customer — their clothes are a good hint.
• Restore, then add one highlight. A clean toy with one bold accent often looks better than every sticker at once.
• Two-tone schemes. Pick one main color and one accent for a polished look.
• Glitter last. Treat it as the finishing touch after paint and decorations are placed.
• Try something silly. There is no wrong answer in the customize step — a police car in rainbow colors is allowed.

Beginner mistakes

• Rushing the cleaning step and leaving small dirty patches.
• Decorating before the repair is finished.
• Missing tools or prompts on the edges of the screen on small phones — try rotating the device.
• Expecting a real repair shop: if you searched "toy repair shop near me", this is a game, not a store.

Toy Repair Shop codes

Last checked: 11 November 2026. Toy Repair Shop has no codes. The Poki listing and the Clap Clap Games page do not mention any code system, and the game is free to play.

Toy Repair Shop vs similar games

If you like the cleaning and fixing part most, look for other restoration games; if you like the creative part, try the studio's sticker game.

Platforms and system requirements

• Browser on Poki: desktop, phone and tablet. Free, no download.
• Clap Clap Games' page also links an "Open the web game" option on its own site, alongside the Poki link.

There are no official system requirements. It is a light 2D game that should run in any current browser. Progress is saved in your browser, so use the same device and browser to continue.

Is Toy Repair Shop good for kids?

Toy Repair Shop is one of the gentler games on Poki: there is no combat, no timer mentioned in its listing, and the whole loop is fixing, cleaning and decorating toys for friendly customers. Poki is a free, ad-supported games site, so players will see ads around the game, and Poki also runs a separate Poki Kids site.

For parents, the practical points are:

• Reading is minimal. Most actions are clicks and drags with on-screen prompts.
• Creative step. The customize stage — paint, decorations and glitter — is where players can be most creative.
• Short sessions. Each toy is a self-contained job, so it is easy to stop between toys.
