The team
Team size: 4
Impossible Studio is a multidisciplinary team focused on 3D design, animation, and interactive experiences. We have been actively working in Decentraland, collaborating with different communities and contributing with environments, assets, and creative content. Our approach combines design, storytelling, and simple game systems, with a focus on creating experiences that feel accessible, engaging, and well crafted. We also stay closely connected to the ecosystem through regular streams and community interactions. With this project, we are building on an existing universe we’ve been developing over time, and we are confident in our ability to deliver a focused, quality experience within the proposed timeline.
Skills & expertise:
Our team combines skills in 2D/3D art, game design, and interactive experience development. We specialize in creating optimized environments, characters, and assets tailored for real-time platforms like Decentraland. We bring experience in designing simple but engaging gameplay systems, including crafting, progression loops, and user interaction flows. We also work across UI/UX design for mobile-first experiences, ensuring clarity and usability. Additionally, we handle technical implementation, optimization, and iteration, along with creative direction and storytelling, allowing us to build cohesive and well-executed experiences from concept to deployment.
DCL experience
Relationship with Decentraland: My team has already built in Decentraland
Prior Decentraland work:
We have actively built and shipped multiple experiences and assets within Decentraland across different formats and events. Our work includes Bloomin, an experience created for Decentraland Art Week, and a music pad activation developed for the Newtro community during the Music Festival. We have also deployed our own world, Chiri & The Impossible Dimension, along with additional spaces and seasonal activations such as Winter Fest. Beyond worlds, we contributed to the ecosystem by creating the Cozy House Template for the Creator Hub, as well as designing wearables, emotes, and character skins. In addition, our team worked with multiple creators and communities, delivering builds such as The Photography Gallery, Disco Cat, and Rage Parkour, along with the production of around 50 wearables and emotes for projects including Golfcraft, Cocobay, Facemoon, among others. We also host regular live streams and community-driven sessions inside Decentraland, maintaining an active and consistent presence in the platform.
Why build for Decentraland?
We want to build this in Decentraland because it offers a unique combination of real-time social interaction, persistent worlds, and an open ecosystem where experiences can evolve over time. Chiri & The Impossible Dimension is not just a game, but a living space designed to grow with its community. Decentraland allows us to connect gameplay, social presence, and live storytelling in one environment, something that would be difficult to replicate in traditional platforms. With the platform’s shift toward mobile, we see a strong opportunity to introduce a more accessible and cozy experience that supports onboarding, engagement, and long-term retention.
Prior similar work:
Our previous work combines interactive experiences, 3D environments, and system-based design across both Decentraland and independent projects. Within Decentraland, we have built experiences such as Bloomin for Art Week, a music interaction pad for the Newtro community during the Music Festival, and multiple interactive worlds including our own project, Chiri & The Impossible Dimension. We have also developed seasonal activations like Winter Fest spaces, as well as reusable assets such as the Cozy House Template for the Creator Hub. In addition, our team worked with multiple creators and communities, delivering builds such as The Photography Gallery, Disco Cat, and Rage Parkour, along with the production of around 50 wearables and emotes for projects including Golfcraft, Cocobay, Facemoon, among others. Outside of Decentraland, we have experience in animation, character design, and interactive storytelling, often combining narrative with playful systems and visual design. These projects demonstrate our ability to design, build, and ship engaging interactive experiences within defined scopes.

The project
What is Chiri & The Impossible Dimension?
Chiri & The Impossible Dimension is a mobile-first cozy interactive experience built inside Decentraland. Players enter Chiri’s house, a living space designed as an onboarding environment where they explore, collect resources, craft items, and play short mini games. The experience is structured around simple, repeatable loops that support short play sessions and gradual progression. Users learn by interacting with different areas such as the kitchen, garden, and workshop, unlocking new spaces as they advance. This project matters because it introduces an accessible and engaging way to experience Decentraland, especially on mobile. It focuses on usability, retention, and active participation rather than passive exploration. It fits this season by delivering a focused, system-driven experience designed for mobile, short sessions, and continuous engagement.
How does this embody the Mobile-first experiences theme?
This experience is designed from the ground up as a mobile-first interaction. All mechanics are built around simple touch inputs such as tap, drag, and hold, with a clean and readable UI optimized for small screens. The gameplay loop is structured for short sessions, allowing users to enter, play, and progress quickly without friction. Chiri’s House acts as an onboarding space where players learn through interaction rather than tutorials, making it accessible for new users. Systems like crafting, farming, and mini games are intentionally lightweight and intuitive. The experience also encourages retention through repeatable loops and gradual progression, giving users a reason to return regularly while keeping interactions relaxed and easy to understand.
What will users do?
They explore Chiri’s house, interact with different areas, and collect basic resources from the environment. These resources are then used in the workshop to craft items, which unlock new interactions and areas within the space. Players can also engage in short mini games, such as cooking, fashion, crafting or simple puzzles, which provide additional resources and progression. Core interactions are based on tap, drag, and combine actions, making the experience intuitive and accessible on mobile. Expected behavior includes short play sessions, repeated visits, and gradual progression through unlocking new areas and systems. The experience encourages curiosity, experimentation, and relaxed exploration rather than pressure or competition.
Who is this for?
This experience is designed for both new and existing Decentraland users, especially those accessing the platform through mobile. It targets players looking for simple, relaxing, and accessible interactions rather than complex or competitive gameplay. This includes casual users, creative communities, and users who may be unfamiliar with Decentraland but are comfortable with mobile games. For new users, it provides a soft onboarding through intuitive mechanics and exploration. For existing users, it offers a space to return to regularly through repeatable gameplay loops and light social interaction. The value comes from lowering the barrier to entry while increasing engagement through a calm, interactive, and rewarding experience.
Why would this improve Decentraland?
This project improves Decentraland by introducing a mobile-first experience focused on usability, onboarding, and long-term retention. It provides an intuitive entry point for new users through interactive gameplay instead of passive exploration, reducing friction and helping users quickly understand how to engage with the platform. The use of short, repeatable gameplay loops encourages regular return and sustained engagement over time. It also expands the content ecosystem by introducing a cozy, non-competitive evolving narrative and participative experience, offering a more accessible alternative to traditional gameplay formats. The system-based design allows the experience to grow continuously, supporting new content, mechanics, and spaces. In addition, the project integrates a participatory layer through live streams, where users can engage with the narrative and influence decisions that shape future levels and gameplay elements. This creates a feedback loop between the community and the experience, strengthening engagement, ownership, and ongoing activity within Decentraland and connecting physical objects from the brand and digital spaces and assets in the game. We have implemented early versions of this interaction format Users are already engaging with Chiri and the expanding universe The story is growing and connecting with other creators and streamers within and outside Decentraland There is ongoing interest and returning participation Overall, it contributes to a more dynamic, inclusive, and evolving ecosystem.

Deliverables (90 days)
Within 90 days, we will deliver a fully playable and optimized mobile experience representing the first season of the project. This includes Chiri’s House as a complete interactive environment, featuring fully functional rooms (kitchen, garden, and workshop) and extra areas. Core gameplay systems will be implemented, including crafting, farming, cooking mini games, and a simple inventory system. Players will be able to explore, collect resources, create items, and unlock new areas through a clear progression loop. The experience will include a mobile first UI/UX designed for short sessions and intuitive touch interaction. A social layer will also be integrated, allowing users to see and interact with other players in the space. The final delivery will be a polished, deployable and ready for public use inside Decentraland. The result will be a polished, complete experience ready for users, with a clear foundation for future expansion.
Success metrics
Success will be measured through a combination of engagement, retention, and interaction metrics. Key KPIs include: Number of unique users entering the experience Average session duration Repeat visits per user over time Progression completion rate (unlocking new areas) Interaction frequency with core systems (crafting, farming, mini games) We will also track social signals such as player presence, co-activity, and participation in shared spaces. Additionally, engagement from live streams and community participation in shaping future content will be considered as a qualitative signal of success. These metrics will help evaluate both immediate usability and long-term retention potential.
