Tamagotchi Hits the Road for a 30th Anniversary Cross-Country Tour
Three decades after the palm-sized digital companion first captivated classrooms worldwide, the Tamagotchi USA Road Trip returns for a second year. Bandai Namco is launching an eight-city tour starting August 15, 2026, inviting fans to revisit their virtual pet roots through interactive pop-up events at malls across the country.
According to Tara Badie, Senior Director of Brand Strategy at Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America, the decision to expand the tour followed an overwhelming response during the inaugural run. The event serves as a physical manifestation of the franchise's longevity, bridging the gap between the original 1996 device and modern iterations of the virtual pet. Fans can track specific event dates and potential surprises through the official @Tamagotchi_US social media channels as the tour progresses through October.
