In 2020, Letter and her husband Zach created a Roblox game studio called Wonder Works (also known as Wonder Works Studio).[1] One of the reasons is because Letter wanted more control over her content.[6] Wonder Works also chose Roblox over Steam because most of her online followers already have Roblox installed on their device.[6] Their first release was Overlook Bay, where you can adopt a pet, build a house and explore the city.[1][5] Overlook Bay has been played more than 160 million times.[1] The studio has also released another game called Traitor, and many other games.[3]
Personal life
[edit]In February 2024, Megan and her husband Zach announced that they were expecting a baby.[7]
