Dizzywood was an online game and virtual world developed in San Francisco, California by the entertainment company Rocket Paper Scissors, LLC.

The company received funding from well-known investors including Shelby Bonnie (co-founder and former CEO of CNET Networks) and Charles River Ventures.

[3] Dizzywood was launched into public beta in November, 2007 and has grown rapidly, reaching over 400,000 monthly global visitors.

It was free to play until the introduction of bonuses and extras that required paying to be a "Gold" or "Silver Explorer".

Most activity takes place in the form of mini-games and group events such as growing a plant or tree or finding a treasure in a rock pile.

[5] The site also produces several daily events, called Dizzy Activities, that follow short story-arcs and typically unfold over a four-day period each week.

For example, a recent story-line encouraged players to clean up pollution and fix broken machines that were destroyed by Withering's henchmen.
