Jaimie and Jay published a year-end video titled 'Farewell to 2025. Hello to 2026!' on Dec 31, 2025, indicating notable channel changes or announcements heading into the new year.
The channel built a fully functional Poppy Playtime-themed escape room and 'trapped' fellow maker-duo Evan & Katelyn inside it, crossing two large DIY/maker communities.
Co-founder Jaimie described it as the achievement she's most proud of — the channel used their animatronic-building skills to help fulfill a Make-A-Wish Foundation wish for a child.

Wicked Makers is a U.S.-based DIY channel run by the couple Jaimie and Jay, built around a specific and surprisingly underserved premise: spooky, horror-themed prop-building that remains watchable by the whole family. Their signature format involves constructing life-sized, functional animatronic figures drawn from popular gaming and horror franchises — Five Nights at Freddy's, Poppy Playtime, and similar properties — blending fabrication craft with the cultural currency of viral gaming fandoms. The channel's growth has tracked closely with the breakout moments of those IPs, as videos like their Ennard, Dogday, and Yarnaby builds generated substantial discovery traffic from audiences already deep in those communities. What distinguishes their approach is the emphasis on approachability: projects are framed as achievable with basic tools, lowering the barrier for viewers who might otherwise treat animatronics as a professional specialty.
Their audience skews male and, notably, skews older than the gaming-adjacent content might suggest, with the largest demographic cohort being viewers 45 and up — likely Halloween enthusiasts and home haunters alongside the gaming fanbase. Engagement on YouTube sits meaningfully above the category median, a signal that their community is genuinely invested rather than passively subscribing. Sponsorships from KiwiCo and Creality are particularly telling: both align with a maker-culture positioning that treats the channel as an entry point into hands-on building, and Creality's 3D-printing focus maps directly onto the fabrication workflows the channel showcases. Displate and Zocdoc round out a diversified mid-tier brand mix. As horror-themed DIY continues to grow as a distinct content vertical — separate from general crafting and from pure gaming commentary — Wicked Makers is well-placed as one of the few family-accessible voices operating at scale within it.
Wickedmakers reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a diy creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Zocdoc and KiwiCo. Engagement on YouTube runs around 3.4%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.
