Blips and Chitz works well as a recurring location because it provides so much fertile ground for storytelling, whether background video game references, or the characters can be thrown into a game for a new adventure.
The main attraction at Blips and Chitz isRoy. It’s an immersive sim,where players acts out the life of Roy, an average human who works at a carpet store. The show introduced the game’s sequel,Roy 2: Dave, but the comics have expanded on the whole franchise. InRick and Morty Presents: Mr. Meeseeks, Blips and Chitz hasMs. Roy,obviously inspired byMs. Pac-Man. Morty was underwhelmed by the survival horror game,Roy 3: Woman Talking About Video Games on the Internet. The10th Anniversary Specialannounced the latest game, which looks like aDoomclone:Roy Rage.
Blips and Chitz is the only place Rick and Morty can play the arcade-only Roy series, so having an infinite token that lets a player keep trying to get all the endings is a must-have item. It’s also a regular location in the comics: there was the above Mr. Meeseeks adventure, and Rick also took a bunch of Jerrys from Jerry-boree there once at Christmastime. Blips and Chitz works well as a recurring location because it provides so much fertile ground for storytelling, whether background video game references, orthe characters can be thrown into a gamefor a new adventure.
An infinite token for Blips and Chitz is another story device that allowsRick and Morty, or anyone else they want to bring, to hang out at the arcade.

Some items didn’t even get an explanation, like the Lego-like creature hiding from Rick, and a vat of “an extremely good escape plan.” An infinite token for Blips and Chitz is another story device that allowsRick and Morty, or anyone else they want to bring, to hang out at the arcade.
