Synopsis[]
Twelve teen best friends get warped into a massive world filled with video game worlds as they work together to both eventually escape and to have fun in this strange world
Characters[]
Main[]
- Alexander "Alex" DeRoin (voiced by Bryce Papenbrook) - a charismatic and fun loving teenager who leads his friends after getting warped to the game world as he both wants to get back to his normal life but also wants to have fun.
- Danny Hart (voiced by Justin Felbinger) - a rather shy yet friendly teenager who tries to get used to his new life but is usually shy about it.
- Fiona Carter (voiced by Alyson Stoner) - a giddy and optimistic teenager who really loves making friends and sees this game world as a fun way to make friends.
- Zeke Stone (voiced by Brooks Wheelan) - a brash and egotistical teenager who is the muscle of the bunch, but only really cares about himself and likes the new attention he is getting in this new world although he does care for his friends deep down. He also finds himself usually surrounded by an obsessed Eliza.
- Eliza Hemsworth (voiced by Lauren Lapkus) - a timid, giddy, quirky, and beautiful, but rather gluttonous teenager who also seems to be somewhat ditzy as she is best friends with Fiona, being somewhat overprotective of her, and has a HUGE obsessive crush on Zeke.
- Julia Cornwall (voiced by Mae Whitman) - a snarky and rather pessimistic yet intelligent teenager who really doesn't like being warped to a new world as she focuses on trying to get home. She's also a reading prodigy and does numerous research, but later lightens up and sees the fun, and soon gets into a relationship with Alex. She also tends to get annoyed by Zeke's rowdy behavior.
- Sam Lock (voiced by Lo Mutuc) - a slightly lazy teenager who is actually an active gamer as she is the only one experienced with all of the games in this new world. Sam is confirmed to be transgender and has a crush on Maddison.
- Maddison Wang (voiced by Brenda Song) - a competitive teenager who actually trained in martial arts as she really enjoys testing her skills.
- Quincy Reeves (voiced by Joshua Rush) - a nerdy but athletic teenager that loves to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. When he thinks of a plan, he doesn’t stop until it works.
- Thomas Hiver (voiced by Robbie Daymond) - a happy-go-lucky and musical teenager that likes to play some of his favorite instruments when not playing games with the squad. He and Quincy were in the school band and developed a crush for him there.
- Lily Grayson (voiced by Minty Lewis) - a gothic, sassy, and sarcastic but kind-hearted teenager that doesn’t really appreciate the others’ antics all too much, but is willing to deal with them if it means she keeps her friends - especially Phoebe.
- Phoebe Ashton (voiced by Ashley Johnson) - a hippie/peacemaking and calm-minded teenager that doesn’t appreciate conflict and hopes to make everyone get along. She considers the gang to be her best friends, especially with Lily.
Supporting[]
- Masher the Moose (voiced by TBD) - a friendly yet adventurous moose who is the titular hero of the Masher the Moose series as he finds the teens and decides to help them out in getting home.
- Lara the Toucan (voiced by TBD) - a sarcastic and grouchy toucan who is Masher's best friend and sidekick as she reluctantly helps the teens.
- Puffleton (vocal effects by TBD) - a giddy Snugglebud that befriends Sam and Danny as it is really friendly.
- Princess Maya (voiced by TBD) - the wise yet friendly Princess of Estoria who finds the teens and tasks them to help stop a supposed dark entity as she has a crush on Zeke, much to Eliza's jealousy.
- Mantis (voiced by TBD) - Princess Maya’s bodyguard as he will risk his life to protect her and the kingdom of Estoria.
- Osira (voiced by TBD) - a cynical cyborg who is the protagonist of the Osira Protocol as she finds it hard to connect to people and prefers to do things herself.
- Spyder (voiced by TBD) - a talking android spider who is Osira's companion as he helps her out in tricky missions.

- The Vehicle Robber (voiced by TBD) - the villain protagonist of [GTA parody] who frequently steals vehicles to escape the police, and tries to rob the teens.
- Katalina (voiced by Grey Griffin) - a self-proclaimed wicked, but in reality, a hammy, dramatic, and over-the-top witch and Masher's arch-nemesis as she wants to take over Wimpy Woods and be heralded as a queen, soon encountering and clashing with the teens.
- Hades Flynch (voiced by TBD) - the terrifying CEO of Flynch Technologies who created and then tried to destroy Osira as he believes that he can turn the teens into mindless machines, unlike Osira.
