The walking pet game for iPhone
VirtuPet turns your daily steps into a pet that thrives when you move. Hatch eggs on your walks, collect 101 animals and actually look forward to getting outside.
Free to download. Works with Apple Health, so steps from your iPhone and Apple Watch count.
How it works
No logging and no spreadsheets. Walk like you normally would and VirtuPet turns it into a pet that grows with you.
VirtuPet reads your steps from Apple Health. The closer you get to your goal, the healthier and happier your pet gets. Every 100 steps also earns a Paw Coin to spend in the Paw Shop.
New eggs pop up on the map around you every day. Walk over to one and it's yours. The rarer eggs sit a little further out, so there's always a reason to take the long way home.
Puddle
Common
Wetlands
Pop an egg in the incubator and your steps warm it up. Then it cracks open into one of 101 animals, from forest foxes to arctic penguins, with mythic creatures saved for the big walkers.
Try it
Your pet's health is your progress towards your daily goal. Here's what a day of walking does for them, and for you.
Estimates use about 0.04 kcal per step and a 76 cm stride. Everyone's different.
The Virtudex
Every biome has its own eggs and its own animals. Commons turn up fast, rares take a bit of walking, and mythics are for the walkers who go the distance.
