Catch the wild pets
around you.
Six species roam a live map of your streets. Catch them, hatch them, hunt the shinies — and snap your real pets into the collection.
A real map. Real pins. Your street.
CritterGo drops wild critters onto a live map of wherever you actually are — and where and when you walk matters. Get inside the radar and a critter is yours to catch.
- 📍A real map of your streets — wild critters pop up just a short walk away.
- 🌊Habitats are real: birds flock near water, squirrels love parks, foxes and cats own the night.
- ⚡Rare Legendary events, a glowing daily hotspot, weekly migrations, and a monthly Community Hour keep every walk different.
- 🧭No location access? A demo spot keeps the game fully playable anywhere.
Meet it. Then make your move.
Every critter arrives with a breed, a personality, and a rarity roll — and each species fights back its own way. Two minigames, one perfect moment.
- ⏱️Tap the ring — stop the needle dead-center on cats, dogs & foxes. Nail the gold sliver for a Perfect catch.
- 🤫Hold to sneak — creep the gauge into the release zone on rabbits, birds & squirrels. Let go too late and they bolt.
- ✨Rarer critters are trickier; shiny ones glow gold — about 1 in 40 wild finds.
Your photo becomes the pet. And never leaves your phone.
Point your camera at a real cat, dog, or bunny. CritterGo instantly turns it into a clean portrait and figures out what it is — right on your phone. Nothing is ever uploaded.
- ✂️Your snapshot becomes a crisp, background-free portrait in a second.
- 🧠Smart recognition names each critter as a cat, dog, or rabbit for you.
- 🔒Every photo stays on your device — never uploaded, never shared.
Six species. Thirty looks.
Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, squirrels and foxes — each in a handful of color variants. The Critterpedia tracks every look you've found (and teases the ones you haven't), while your Field Dex keeps each critter's name, level, and story.
Come back daily. Leave with a story.
Three fresh quests every morning, a streak that grows the longer you keep showing up, and a mystery egg that only hatches if you actually walk.
- 🎯3 daily quests with treat rewards — plus a research card that banks a guaranteed-Legendary encounter.
- 🔥Daily catch streaks with milestone chests — and a one-time repair if life gets in the way.
- 🥚Mystery eggs hatch after ~1.5 km of real walking into a rare-or-better critter. Shiny odds: 1 in 10.
- 🦴Spend treats on lures that make critters walk to you, snacks, extra attempts, and feeding your pets.
Race your friends every week.
Swap friend codes and the Explorer Pass turns into a leaderboard: whoever catches the most this week wears the crown. Resets every Monday — no grudges, just rematches.
- 🤝Add friends with a short code — no accounts to hunt down, no contact lists.
- 👑A live weekly catch race with up to 20 friends.
- 🖼️Share polished portrait cards of your best catches straight from the game.
