Introducing: Childish Folly
A proper totem for one of the best shows on TV.
TLDR; I went full-nerd and built the water ring toss game from Severance.
It is available for download on the App Store now.
I, like many others, am completely addicted to Severance.
After every episode, it’s straight to Reddit for the fan theories and WTF recaps—then I spend the rest of the night quoting “YESS. DO IT, SETH!!” at anyone or anything (including my dog Frank) who’ll sit still long enough.
The next day at lunch, it’s straight to YouTube to see what I missed from my initial viewing. I’m partial to Erik Voss and the New Rockstars because he brings the energy without being annoying about it. You know what I mean? He also doesn’t just recap. He contextualizes. He points out the deep-cut things I missed and that’s what I’m watching for!! Not just to hear some rando repeat story points minute-by-minute. Smh.
Anyway, I digress.
On one of those days, I came across the below post on IG where someone had 3D-printed (‼️) a real-life version of Miss Huang’s ring toss game:
Which, come on. Amazing. But that got me thinking… has anyone made an app version of this?
We’ve got art. We’ve got merch. Hell, we’ve even got CAKE!
But no iOS app? For a show that airs on Apple TV+ ???
That didn’t seem right!
So yeah. I went full-nerd and built an app—for all of us who can’t stop thinking about goats, waffle parties, and what the hell Lumon is really up to. A silly little tribute for the Severance faithful.
It’s FREE to download and I’ve placed ZERO ads in it.
Could I have? Definitely.
Should I have? Perhaps.
Have I taken my fandom too far? Most definitely.
But I left out the ads and the in-app purchases because I wanted this to be a proper homage—something pure and unsullied by sponsorship (I’ve always wanted to say that).
It’s just a weird little gift for a weird little show that we all love.
HAVING SAID THAT, if this app brings you a stupid amount of joy like it has for me, you can support the efforts (and the developer) behind it in one of four ways:
Buy yourself an O&D-sanctioned indulgence
(via an Amazon affiliate link)Rate & review one of my other apps
(seriously—ratings matter and they’re free to do!)
Or, if you work on the show and somehow see this, let me know how I can sneak onto that coveted AF official Severance swag list 😅.
And with that,
PLEASE ENJOY ALL RINGS EQUALLY!!
A little easter egg for those of you who made it to the end:
