VibeBorn
Read full descriptionHide full description
VibeBorn is a cozy little corner of the internet for people who love the ritual of opening a blind box — the shake, the reveal, the "no way, I got the secret one." WHAT'S NEW: VibeBorn just had its Mall rebuilt from the studs. If you played the old version, this is a genuinely fresh start — new economy, new figures, new everything — and every returning collector gets a clean slate the moment they open the app. Full story in the What's New notes below. HOW IT WORKS Walk into the Mall, pick a series, and open a box. Every box guarantees a figure — nothing is ever a total whiff. Most pulls are Commons, some are Surprises, and every now and then you'll land a Small Secret or, if the pack is feeling generous, a Big Secret. The odds for every tier are shown right on the product page before you spend a single gem, and they never change behind your back. Pulled a figure you already own? You're never stuck holding a duplicate — VibeBorn instantly credits you gems for it, more the rarer the figure, so nothing in your collection ever feels wasted. THE LINEUP Nine series are live at launch, each with its own vibe: - Night Market Nibblings — festival night snack spirits, from a plain Boba to the elusive Golden Lechon. - Flequiña, Don't Break My Heart — a piñata-hearted lineup where every figure hides a little confetti inside. - Golden Hour — a pack of plush best friends caught in the last warm light of the day. - Six Cosmic Elemental series (Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark) — the flagship creature collection, reimagined as elemental blind boxes. Series rotate and new drops arrive regularly, so there's always something new on the shelf. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY - Collection tab: every figure you've found, organized by series, with pull numbers and first-found dates. - Streaks & daily missions: log in, open a box, hit a target — earn bonus gems just for showing up. - Arcade: a quick, skill-based minigame that pays out its own gems (capped daily, so it's a nice bonus, never a requirement). - Collector profile: pick an avatar, set your collector name, and share a personal collector card that shows off your best pulls. - Optional Game Center: link it to post scores on leaderboards and track achievements — or skip it entirely and play as a guest forever. Nothing about VibeBorn requires an account. FAIR BY DESIGN - No forced ads, ever. Watching an ad for bonus gems is always optional. - Every gem pack shows exactly what it costs and exactly what it gives you — no hidden math. - First purchase of any gem pack comes with a one-time bonus, clearly marked, never a fake "was/now" discount. - Figures are digital collectibles for play inside VibeBorn only — they carry no real-world cash value and can't be redeemed, resold, or exchanged for money. Whether you've got two minutes between things or twenty, VibeBorn is built for the small, satisfying ritual of the unbox. Come see what's on the shelf tonight.

Discover Dragons like you’ve never seen before! Collect and care for hundreds of unique Dragons, uncovering their origins as they grow. From playful Cat Dragons to rare Bluebell Dragons, every new Dragon you hatch and raise brings this cozy, peaceful world to life. Long ago, Dragons filled this enchanted forest, thriving alongside nature. Each evolved into forms as diverse as the surrounding flora and fauna. Some shimmered with glittering scales, others were soft and furry, and some even bloomed with flowers or mushrooms. When nearby mining drove the Dragons away, fog crept in and the forest fell silent for years. Now, join Liv the Elf to lift the fog, summon the Dragons home, and help the forest sparkle with life once more. GAME HIGHLIGHTS * Summon Dragons: Help Liv mix elements, gems, and more to call Dragons of all shapes, forms, and rarities to your forest. * Raise Dragons: Hatch eggs, feed your Dragons, and help them grow into magical, bonded companions. * Collect Hundreds of Dragons: Discover a magical array of Dragons that evolved alongside nature. * Uncover Lore: Reveal charming legends and little-known facts about your Dragons. * Explore and Restore: Clear the fog and help the forest awaken with life, magic, and folkloric friends. * Decorate Your Forest: Adorn your forest with plants and decor that possess magical abilities to help you progress. * Missions and Events: Missions, updates, and limited-time events bring exciting new Dragons, décor, and rewards. There’s always something new to discover! If you love Dragons, cozy collection games, and relaxing adventures, you will be enchanted by Hatch Dragons. ***** Hatch Dragons is developed and published by Runaway.
