Meet your next friend.

Three simple steps

1. 1

   Find animals near you

   Allow location so the game can choose animals native to your region. Up to three visitors appear. No mapped path, habitat or walk recording is needed for nearby visitors.

2. 2

   Try befriending

   Tap an animal on the map or its nearby card. You can play from where you are; do not travel to its virtual marker. Stop safely, then tap when the moving marker is in the gold zone. Some animals may leave.

3. 3

   Visit My animals

   A new friend joins My animals and disappears from nearby encounters. Each species joins your collection once. Care for your companions or take them racing.

Explore for faster discoveries

Ordinary visitors are shared: people in the same area and time see the same set. Sets refresh together about every 45 minutes. Stay at home for your area’s next set, or explore other areas to discover their shared visitors. Owning an animal hides it only for you and does not reroll a replacement. Keep location fresh to confirm your area.

Shared visitors leave when their time window ends, you move to another area, or your own encounter ends. Befriending or an animal leaving does not remove another player’s chance. Closing and reopening does not restore a used encounter. Animals already in My animals stay with you.

Elusive visitors take a longer journey

Some ordinary species appear in rotating two-day windows across a 16-day cycle. The guide shows the next window for an elusive visitor. Different days bring different opportunities, so a fresh regional collection cannot be completed in one weekend. Existing animals remain yours.

Each time you open the game, a brief automatic internet time check keeps shared visitors in step. Once verified, visitors can continue offline for up to 24 hours while the game stays open. Reopening needs another time check. Your saved animals and offline learning remain available.

Record a walk if you want

Record walk · optional keeps a route in your journal. It is separate from befriending nearby animals. Browser exploration works while the game is visible. Android walk recording uses a location service and notification and can continue while locked.

Special expeditions and rare event missions keep their own walking and checkpoint requirements. Native regions, activity hours and seasonal availability still affect which nearby visitors can appear.

Play, race and save

Meet animals, visit My animals, and race together. Sign in to save supported progress automatically to your account across devices. Without sign-in, progress stays on this device. Optional backup tools are available in Account.

Borrowed world racers are still practice partners and do not join your collection.
