Beeps is a collection game where the whole world is a field guide waiting to be filled out. Point your phone at any barcode — groceries, books, concert tickets, that one mystery can at the back of the pantry — and a unique creature appears, pulled out of thin air and tied to what you scanned, where you were, and what the weather was doing that afternoon. HOW IT WORKS • Scan. Open the Scan tab, point at any barcode. Hear the beep. • Discover. A creature is generated with its own name, stats, lore, and tribe. • Collect. Every scan becomes a card in your field guide — see where you caught it, when, and what the weather was like. SIX TRIBES • Wisp — organic, forest-soft • Hollow — mechanical, quiet • Drift — cosmic, ethereal • Bloom — floral, healing • Fused — hybrid, stitched • Veil — shadow, unknown FRIENDS & TRADES Add friends by username to see each other's collections. Bump phones with a friend to craft a brand-new creature that remembers it was born between you. Gift a favorite away without asking anything back. NO GRIND, NO ADS, NO IAP No stamina bar. No pay-to-play. No banner ads. No global marketplace, no bidding wars. Beeps is just going about your day, pointing your phone at little barcodes, and seeing what shows up. PRIVACY-FIRST Beeps never uploads your camera feed — barcodes are detected on-device. Scans generate a coarse neighborhood-sized zone, never your precise location. Full details at playbeeps.com/privacy. Made with quiet strangeness.
