In 2020, Letter and her husband Zach created a Roblox game studio called Wonder Works (also known as Wonder Works Studio). One of the reasons is because Letter wanted more control over her content.{{Cite web|date=2021-03-10|title=Roblox content creator MeganPlays on the platform's popularity|url=https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/03/10/roblox-content-creator-meganplays-on-the-platforms-popularity.html|access-date=2021-05-04|website=CNBC|language=en}} Wonder Works also chose Roblox over Steam because most of her online followers already have Roblox installed on their device. Their first release was Overlook Bay, where you can adopt a pet, build a house and explore the city. Overlook Bay has been played more than 160 million times. The studio has also released another game called Traitor, and many other games.
