Newbury Park Universe
A community chat & game for Newbury Park, California.
What is the Newbury Park Universe?
The Newbury Park Universe is a real-time community chat experience built right in your browser — no app to install. Hop in as one of our local-flavor avatars (a coyote, a surfer, a Chumash elder, an e-biker), walk around a stylized Newbury Park world, and chat with neighbors via word-by-word animated chat bubbles. It’s built for the people who live, work, and visit Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, and the rest of the Conejo Valley.
What you can do here
- Chat with neighbors in real time — word-by-word animated chat bubbles, powered by WebSockets.
- Complete challenges for prizes — find collectibles, solve puzzles, unlock rewards.
- Watch rocket launches from Vandenberg — our resident astronaut posts updates on launches visible from Newbury Park skies.
- Discover local events — see what’s happening this week in and around Newbury Park.
- Meet local businesses (coming soon) — restaurants, services, and shops that call the Conejo Valley home.
About Newbury Park, California
Newbury Park is a community in Ventura County, California, part of the city of Thousand Oaks. Tucked between the Conejo Valley and the Santa Monica Mountains, it’s home to oak woodlands, hiking trails, the Stagecoach Inn Museum, and a tight-knit community of families, professionals, and small businesses. We built the Newbury Park Universe to give that community a fun, low-friction place to meet online — and to celebrate the place we live.
