The timeline of Toontown Rewritten is a series of events that make up the overall story of the game, which began with a story arc revolving around the 26th. Since the game's Alpha launch, the story had been unveiled through many ARG puzzles, and certain in-game events and updates. Majority of events occurred in Toontown Online canonically and are reoccurring, albeit differently for some events, in Toontown Rewritten. Keep in mind that such events are separated by in-universe years rather than real world years.
Timeline
1998
- October 26, 1998[1] - Previously known as Gyro Gearloose, Doctor Surlee travels to this exact date from the Toontown Online timeline using his unstable pocketwatch to start a new timeline called Toontown Rewritten (also known as "The Rewritten Experiment"), shortly after using one of his inventions, "The Rewritten Device", in order to rewrite himself into who he is now. Toontown opens its gates for the very first time and allows a small number of Toons to enter.[2]
- November 28, 1998[3] - In his personal journal, Doctor Surlee documents the first 37 days since starting the Toontown Rewritten timeline, and mentions how he spoke with the Toon Council about ideas for neighborhoods and attempted to convince them to allow some form of teleport access for said neighborhoods. Eventually, Surlee creates Trolley-bots that would be present in various Trolley minigames in hopes of helping Toons prepare for Doomsday which previously occurred in the Toontown Online timeline.
2000
- April 26, 2000[4] - Doctor Surlee writes a report explaining that things had been running smoothly for Loony Labs. Much to his dismay, Surlee walks to his workspace and discovers a resignation paper from Doctor Fissionton with a cat's print. However, Surlee only recalls Fissionton being a dog.
2002
- November 9, 2002[5] - Sir Max proposes an idea for a Trolley minigame called "Robot Thief" that is rejected by the Toon Council due to high budget costs. Before Sir Max could leave the meeting, Doctor Surlee walks in and convinces the Toon Council that Robot Thief is worth pursuing, and instructs Loony Labs to manufacture necessary components for the minigame.
