About

Orbitomo

Make a card. Exchange nearby. Continue the story in Feed. Orbitomo is a gentle card-collecting game built around real outings. Create your Tomo Card and TomoAvatar, start an outing, collect Tomo Cards, Spot Cards, and Venue Cards, and keep card exchanges going through Feed. Every card joins a personal collection you can revisit by day, week, or month. What you can do: - Create and customize your own Tomo Card and TomoAvatar - Create an AI avatar from a description and an optional reference photo, or customize a TomoEgg with colors and accessories - Start an outing and discover public Spot Cards and Venue Cards on the map - Exchange Tomo Cards through supported location-based outing encounters or Bluetooth proximity - Within Bluetooth range, confirm the other My ID by scanning a QR code or entering the ID manually - See which public cards you have already collected - Browse an artwork-first collection and private card details - Keep favorites, private notes, and private photos for your collected Tomo Cards - Add collected Spot Cards to City Canvas and grow your own private illustrated city, one area at a time - Share a card or album poster with an expiring link that excludes exact locations, exact times, and private details - Continue a Tomo Card exchange through Connections in the age-gated Feed - Move between Connections, Following, and Everyone, with a separate For You or Newest choice for each space - Follow public profiles centered on TomoAvatar and discover eligible public card activity - Share moderated card activity with Everyone, followers, card-exchange Connections, or only yourself - React, reply, report, block, and control Feed notifications when eligible - Earn and use Orbit Points, visit the Shop, and access approved Venue Partner tools when eligible Feed requires verified email and age eligibility. Public identity centers on TomoAvatar, and Feed visibility remains subject to audience, age, moderation, report, block, and revocation controls. Following is one-way and does not automatically create a mutual relationship or Tomo Card exchange. Orbitomo does not provide real-name or contact-detail search, nearby-user lists, private messaging, or live location sharing. Shared results exclude exact locations, exact times, private notes, private photos, and internal identifiers. City Canvas is an owner-only illustrated collection result. It is not an exact map and does not display current location, travel history, exact visit locations, or visit times. It is not automatically published to Feed or public profiles. Location, Bluetooth, and camera access are requested only when a feature needs them, and outing controls remain in your hands. The optional My ID QR scanner decodes the code on device and only fills the My ID field. Scanner frames are not saved or uploaded, and My ID alone does not complete an exchange without Bluetooth proximity confirmation.
