Dizzy
A little egg. A very big adventure. Enter a world of treetop homes, curious puzzles and extraordinary friends — created by the Oliver Twins.
Explore Dizzy
Part of our universeWelcome to the world of Dizzy
Take the woodland path, cross the rope bridge and see what lies beyond the next door. Dizzy’s adventures mix exploration, mischievous humour and puzzles: an ordinary-looking object might be exactly what somebody needs. From enchanted forests to cloud castles, curiosity is your most useful companion.
Good eggs. Great company.
The Yolkfolk give these adventures their heart. Daisy, Dora, Dozy, Dylan, Denzil and Grand Dizzy each bring their own personality to Dizzy’s world — and there is always room for Pogie the Fluffle. Getting everyone out of trouble can be quite an adventure in itself.
Home among the treetops. Dizzy and his friends gather among wooden bridges, warm windows and woodland paths — a whole world of adventures to share.
Daisy — a familiar face at the heart of Dizzy’s adventures.
Dora — Dizzy’s sister and one of the colourful Yolkfolk family.
Dozy — happiest when there is time for a good nap.
Dylan — a gentle free spirit with a love of nature.
Grand Dizzy — the village elder, with a lifetime of stories.
Pogie — a little Fluffle with a big place in the adventure.
And then there’s Zaks…
Every fairytale needs a little trouble. The evil wizard Zaks has been part of Dizzy’s story since the first adventure. In Magicland Dizzy, he traps the Yolkfolk with individual spells: Dozy falls into a magical sleep, Denzil is frozen in ice and Dora becomes a frog. Freeing them calls for much more than a well-timed jump.
Meet Zaks. A pointed hat, a formidable beard and a thoroughly unfriendly spellbook: the Yolkfolk’s magical nemesis is never far from the trouble.
A big personality, born from a few pixels
Dizzy began with a simple wish: give a game character a face expressive enough to show some personality. Working with the tiny sprites of 8-bit computers, Philip Oliver drew a large face, added hands and feet, and experimented with expressions and a spinning jump. That distinctive shape became a very memorable egg.
From one adventure to a world of friends
The first Dizzy adventure arrived in 1987, created by Philip and Andrew Oliver and published by Codemasters. Its objects were more than things to collect: they helped solve puzzles. Fantasy World Dizzy expanded the cast in 1989, bringing more Yolkfolk into the adventure, along with conversations, fairytale places and friends who needed a helping hand. The series grew across computers and consoles, with arcade diversions as well as the much-loved adventures. Explore the games below, or read the creation story to discover how it all began.
