What is Neighbours from Hell (Series)?

Neighbours from Hell is a series of slapstick comedy strategy video games developed by JoWooD Productions and released from 2003 to 2012 across multiple platforms. The games follow the story of Woody, an average man who is tormented by his rude and obnoxious neighbors. Tired of the abuse, Woody decides to get revenge by playing a series of elaborate and humorous pranks on them.

The core gameplay involves strategically setting up pranks and traps for the neighbors using various items and contraptions. The player must perfectly time the execution of the pranks for maximum comedic effect. As the series progresses, the neighbors become increasingly unhinged as Woody's schemes grow more ambitious. Over a dozen neighbors are featured throughout the games with unique personalities and responses to Woody's antics.

The series originated on PC and eventually made its way to consoles and mobile devices as well. It garnered positive reviews for its quirky humor, prank-based gameplay, cartoonish visual style, and slapstick comedy influence. Several installment were commercial successes, especially in Europe. The series inspired a television show adaptation in 2010. Although the last mainline game was released in 2012, its legacy as a pioneer of comedy/strategy gaming lives on.
