Scan animals and grow your collection. Each catch is a new unique card and some creatures are rarer than others, and your dex grows with every walk. dobudex identifies the species and turns it into a card you keep. Your dex fills up with the wildlife you find in nature. Every walk with your kids becomes a fun game. A safari! Suddenly they want to go outside and will soon know more animals than you do. You will start recognising garden birds you never noticed. The scanner works just as well at the zoo as in your own garden, so the collection grows wherever you are. Something you can do together with the kids. Free to try. Explorer is an optional monthly subscription and it only raises how many scans you get. Every card, stat, map and journal entry stays free.

Raise a monster from an egg to its final form. It gets hungry, it gets sick, and it grows old. How you care for it decides what it becomes. A SHORT VISIT, A LONG STORY Feeding, cleaning and training take seconds. You only need to look in a few times a day. Between visits your monster keeps living on the server: it digests, it makes a mess, it ages. CARE IS THE MECHANIC, NOT THE DECORATION Leave it hungry or leave the mess, and a care mistake is recorded. Those mistakes decide which branch it evolves down. Two players raising the same egg end up with different monsters, and the difference is how they looked after it. FIVE STAGES, ABOUT FIVE DAYS Baby, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate. Each stage takes real time, and running a foggy maze shortens the wait. Only an Ultimate has a lifespan, and when it ends you hold a farewell, open one of three chests, and keep a memorial of the one you raised. THEN YOU START AGAIN A new egg, a different route, the gear you kept. The dex fills in, titles unlock, and your trainer level carries over. ALSO IN THE GAME - Live tap battles: build momentum, win the QTE, land the bonus hit - Player versus player - Daycare that freezes time when you cannot check in - Shell colours and frames your opponents can see - A full in-game guide with the real drop rates and evolution conditions No ads.
