Adopt a virtual pet. It's waiting.

A tiny grove creature that lives right here in your browser. Feed it, play, tuck it in. It grows on the days you come back, and it never dies.

How to keep a grove pet happy

🍓 Feed when it's peckishHunger drops about one point every two minutes while the page is open. Overfeeding makes it sluggish, not sick.

🎈 Play every visitPlay is the fastest way to lift its mood, but it costs a little energy.

🌙 Let it napNapping refills energy. While asleep it won't play, so let it wake on its own or tap Nap again.

📅 Visit on new daysGrowth counts days, not hours. Day 3 it sprouts a leaf, day 7 it gets a flower crown.

A virtual pet that doesn't guilt-trip you

Old pocket pets were built to make you panic: miss a beep and the pet was gone. This one keeps living while you're away, slowly, and never drops to zero. Come back after a week and it's just glad to see you.

That gentle idea is what our iPhone game Puffgrove is built on. Instead of three bars, your creature gets a whole grove. You place things like a pond or a wind chime, and it decides what to do with them.

Questions

Can my virtual pet die?

No. If you stay away it gets hungry, bored and sleepy, and it will look a little sad when you come back, but it never dies. Feed it and play and it perks right up.

Where is my pet saved?

In this browser on this device, using local storage. Nothing is sent to a server. If you clear your browser data or switch devices you will start with a new pet.

Does it keep living when I close the page?

Yes, slowly. Hunger, fun and energy keep dropping while you are away, at a gentler rate than when the page is open, and stop at a floor so your pet is never left at zero.

How does my pet grow?

It grows on the days you visit, not the hours you spend. Day 1 it is a seedling, from day 3 it sprouts a leaf, and from day 7 it wears a flower crown.

Is this like a Tamagotchi?

It is the same idea: a small creature that needs feeding, play and sleep. It is gentler, it runs in any browser, and it is free with no ads.

Is there an app version?

Yes. Puffgrove on iPhone gives your creature a whole grove to explore, and its habits change based on what you place and encourage.
