• Illustration — Wong at VidCon 2014 In 2011, along with his partners Matt Arnold and Desmond "Dez" Dolly, Wong formed the production company RocketJump. They began work on the web series Video Game High School, which began releasing episodes on May 11, 2012, and achieved over 100 million views across various online platforms. The series was based on a concept by Will Campos and Chris Pappavaselio. The team was able to raise funding for the series through Kickstarter, where they set a funding goal for $75,000 to be raised in a 30-day period. That amount was quickly pledged in less than 24 hours and continued to climb from there. On October 22, 2011, pledging came to a close, with $273,725 raised for the project from 5,661 backers. The series ran for three seasons, with the final season having a crowd funded budget of over $2.4 million. The final episode of the series was released November 17, 2014, on the RocketJump website and YouTube. Wong's videos would sometimes feature celebrity cameos, with Jimmy Kimmel in a bathroom tie battle, Andy Whitfield appearing in a Time Crisis tribute video, Kevin Pollak appearing in a Hypnotism stunt, Shenae Grimes in a romantic gun action scene, Ray William Johnson in a troll infestation video, Eliza Dushku appearing in an action scene, Jon Favreau featuring in his video based on Cowboys & Aliens, the glam metal band Steel Panther appearing in his video based on the Crossfire board game, and Smosh appearing in his video "Huge Guns (with Smosh)". In late 2013, Wong's channel, freddiew was renamed to "Rocketjump", and freddiew2 was renamed to "BrandonJLa". Brandon Laatsch also announced that he and Wong would no longer work together on projects, and any short videos or "shorts" would be posted on either NODE (a gaming channel run by Laatsch and Corridor Digital's Niko Pueringer and Sam Gorski) or BrandonJLa. This was done because they wanted to work on separate projects, as Wong was busy with Video Game High School, and Brandon started working on a VR engine and game Boneworks. In both 2014 and 2015, Wong along with Matt Arnold won YouTube Streamy Awards for Video Game High School in the "Directing" category. In 2017, Wong announced that RocketJump would be pivoting away from regular shorts, in favor of other projects. RocketJump stopped uploading videos altogether in 2018, after the second season of Anime Crimes Division.

From April 2017 to October 2021, Wong co-hosted the podcast Story Break on the Maximum Fun network. As described on the RocketJump website, the show features "[co-hosts] Will Campos, Matt Arnold, and Freddie Wong sit[ting] down in the RocketJump writer's room and attempt[ing] to 'break' a story for a ridiculous concept, property, or idea that [they] in NO way have any rights to." The podcast concluded in 2021, both due to the hosts feeling creatively satisfied with the show and to allow them more time to work on upcoming projects. Since January 2019, Wong has been a collaborator on a Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast called Dungeons & Daddies, along with Will Campos, Anthony Burch, Matt Arnold, and Beth May. The podcast is about four dads from Earth that are transported to the Forgotten Realms (one of the official settings for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition) and go on a quest to search for their lost sons. Wong edits the show and is one of the four players, with Burch as the Dungeon Master for the first two seasons. On October 21, 2021, RocketJump revealed on Facebook that they were beginning work on their first feature film. Shooting took place in late 2021 in Southern California and Utah. The film, We're All Gonna Die, premiered at South by Southwest in March 2024. Wong co-wrote and co-directed the film with his Dungeons & Daddies co-star Matt Arnold. In 2023, Wong appeared in Dimension 20 sidequest Mentopolis, where he played the character Dan Fucks, the personification of sexual pleasure inside the mind of a scientist. In September 2025, Wong announced he would return to creating videos on the RocketJump YouTube channel, and announced the production of a new feature action film, Nail House.
