Shrek Video Game Timeline

By Camal
  • Period: Mar 21, 1391 to Apr 19, 1391

    Fiona is born

    Using evidence from the film universe, we know Fiona was born the same year as Shrek, as they’re both 30 during Shrek 1, and we know she’s an Aries, as proven by the “Shrek: From the swamp to the screen” art book
  • Shrek is born
    Oct 24, 1391

    Shrek is born

    Using estimates based on the Shrek films and musical, Shrek is 30 in 1422, and during the song "I Think I Got You Beat" from the musical, Shrek mentions that the day he was kicked out of the swamp was his seventh birthday, while Fiona mentions that it was Christmas Eve when she got locked up that same day.

  • Puss' teenage flashback/gets kicked out of San Ricardo
    1412

    Puss' teenage flashback/gets kicked out of San Ricardo

    Assuming Puss was born around 1496-7, he would be approximately 13-14 years old at this time.
  • Puss in Boots -  Day 1
    Jun 23, 1418

    Puss in Boots - Day 1

  • Puss in Boots DS - Day 2
    Jun 27, 1418

    Puss in Boots DS - Day 2

    Assuming the Cat Cantina is only open during the night, after Puss exits, it had became the next day.
  • Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots
    Jun 28, 1418

    Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots

    The game features the same areas as both other Puss in Boots games, so it's likely not too much time later.

    1422

    Shrek: Game Land Activity Center - Criss Cross

  • Shrek: Game Land Activity Center - Word Find
    1422

    Shrek: Game Land Activity Center - Word Find

    In this game, Farquaad is still alive and sending decrees to Duloc, meaning it takes place sometime before he dies, probably before he meets Shrek.
  • Shrek: Super Party
    Jan 12, 1422

    Shrek: Super Party

    Due to Fiona still being locked in the tower and Donkey still not having a friend, the game likely takes place before the events of the first film. Fiona's likely the canon winner, as her ending scene shows Shrek arriving to save her.
  • Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown - Day 1
    Jan 13, 1422

    Shrek: Fairytale Freakdown - Day 1

    We see in level 3 of the game that Shrek hasn't left his swamp yet, meaning this game must take place about a day before the main Shrek story.

    Jan 14, 1422

    Shrek: Hassle at the Castle - Day 1

    Opening prologue to the game. The game follows the same events as the film, so we can conclude it takes place at the same time as the film. The musical gives us the exact number of days that Fiona spends in the Dragon Keep, 8423, making the beginning of this game take place on January 14, 1422.
