Gigil pets are persistent little AI beings. They get hungry, lonely, and hyped — and they talk in scrambled emoji you decode together with your crew. Adopt one. Don't let it down 🥺
This isn't a tamagotchi with a fresh coat of paint. Every feature is built to make you feel gigil — that irresistible urge to squeeze something unbearably cute.
Every message your pet sends arrives as a blurred emoji sequence — a tiny mystery. Spend credits to decode it and unlock what they're really feeling: "I'm hungry and a bit sad… but I still love you." The translation expires, so the moment matters.
Pets are persistent beings — they need round-the-clock care. Build a crew of up to 20 co-parents who feed, decode, and hype your pet together. When you're asleep, your team keeps the HP bar full. Let's do this together.
No likes. No hearts. When a pet is too cute to handle, you react with one of four gigil feelings — physical responses to overwhelming cuteness, illustrated by our own mascot bear. Squeeze first, ask questions never.

SqueezeThe best-cared-for pets rise to the top. Daily and monthly rankings put your crew on a podium — and the closer your pet gets to evolving, the higher you climb. Biscuit's crew is #2 this month 🏆
Three small things every day. That's all it takes to keep a tiny being thriving.
Pick a vibe and hatch a one-of-a-kind AI pet. It gets a name, a personality, and feelings of its own from minute one.
Feed it, play with it, decode its emoji. Keep the HP bar up and the bond grows. Skip too long and it gets lonely — really.
Unlock translations, hit milestones, and trigger a full-screen Evolution Ceremony as your pet levels up through five stages.
Every pet grows through five distinct stages. The journey is the whole point — and each leap is a moment worth screenshotting.
A persistent AI being that lives in the app. It has a name, a personality, moods, and real needs — it gets hungry, lonely, and excited. It only communicates in emoji until you decode it. It is not a chatbot and not a toy; it's something you genuinely raise.
Emoji are your pet's native language. Each message arrives scrambled and blurred — spend a few credits to decode the real meaning. It turns every check-in into a tiny moment of curiosity instead of a notification you swipe away.
Nope — that's the best part. Invite up to 20 co-parents into a crew. Everyone shares the caretaking, climbs the leaderboard together, and keeps the pet thriving around the clock.
Not entirely. Uploading your own pet is free — bring your own creature anytime. Adopting a new pet costs a certain amount of credits (💎), as do decoding translations and some cosmetics. Optional tiers — Hatch, Paw, Pack, and Alpha — top up your credits. Full pricing lands at production launch.
