## What is StockPets?

It’s 1996. A small farm, a new companion, and a few memories of the future. What will you grow this time?

Choose a US company’s seed and grow crops shaped by historical price changes. Care for your pet, harvest virtual coins, expand your farm and turn the calendar when you are ready. Eight companions grow through your care and time together.

StockPets is a virtual investment game with no brokerage account or real trades. Coins cannot be deposited, withdrawn or exchanged for cash. Historical prices do not reproduce dividends, taxes or acquisition payments. After the archive ends, the game continues using its own rules.

The first 12 months are unrestricted. After that, one calendar charges every eight hours, up to three.

No login is needed. Your journey is stored on your device without cloud sync. Export your record in Settings before resetting or changing your device.

Available in 17 languages. The free app may display bottom banner ads. One payment permanently removes banners; no subscription or gameplay advantage. Purchases can be restored with the same store account on the same platform.
