Meet HopBunny—a shy quiet bunny with a keen eye for treasures. HopBunny notices what others overlook: the stories behind forgotten items. Quietly hopping from shop to shop in Hop Village, ears perked for that perfect, special find. Hop along with the shyest, sweetest treasure hunter in gaming. Will the $50 old ring be worth $500? Perfect for morning coffee, lunch break, or bedtime wind-down. DAILY TREASURE HUNTS Every morning brings fresh discoveries across five unique shops: a low price thrift stores, a bustling flea market, an elegant antique shop, an intimate estate sale, and an inspiring art gallery. HopBunny visits them all, and so can you! THEMED SHOPPING ADVENTURES Each day features a special theme—Movie & TV, Treasure and Pirate day, Music, Inventions, and more. Then come the seasonal celebrations: Spring Awakening brings garden finds and fresh blooms, Summer radiates with bright outdoor treasures, Autumn Harvest offers cozy nostalgic gems, and Winter Festival sparkles with festive warmth. HOLIDAY MAGIC Watch for special holiday weeks throughout the year! New Year's fresh starts, Mother's Day sentimental treasures, spooky Halloween collectibles, and cozy Winter Festival finds. Every holiday transforms the shops with themed items you won't find any other time. EVERY ITEM TELLS A STORY That vintage camera? It captured a grandmother's world travels. The worn guitar? It played at a thousand summer campfires. The faded book? Someone's escape during difficult times. HopBunny sees the memories in everything, and helps you discover them too. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Keep your favorite finds or sell them and buy other items. Sometimes three special items connect in mysterious ways when you bring them home. Watch magic happen as they merge into extraordinary collections worth far more than their parts. MASTERPIECE ITEMS Masterpieces are rare items that follow special rules. They are expensive goals to achieve. There are only two in Hop Village this season. They can only be purchased if you have enough funds in your Savings account. When purchased, their value remains in your net worth. They move directly to your home's Master Collection when purchased. COZY STRATEGY Choose wisely with your daily budget. That cheap thrift store mug might be worthless—or a hidden treasure worth a fortune. Expensive antiques might disappoint or deliver jackpots. Every purchase is a gentle mystery, every decision a story. Take everything to Sunny’s Exchange to reveal the true value. Sunny is always honest, and happy to pay you for anything you do not want to carry home. Selling to Sunny fills HopBunny's wallet. And money moves to Savings when the wallet overflows. Are you saving for a Masterpiece? ADORABLY UNIQUE Powered by Apple Intelligence right on your phone. Complete privacy and no internet connection needed. Every item's backstory is freshly written just for you. No two players experience the same treasures. HopBunny's world feels alive, personal, and endlessly surprising. THE PERFECT COZY GAME No timers. No pressure. No grinding. Just peaceful shopping, warm stories, and the joy of discovery. Perfect for your morning coffee, lunch break, or bedtime wind-down.
