Walk, and your pet comes alive

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.

Eggs turn up on your walks

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.

Your steps hatch them

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.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is VirtuPet free?

Yes. Download it free, choose your starter pet and start walking. Premium is optional and adds a second incubator, a bigger egg bag, all three daily quests and more.

How does VirtuPet count my steps?

VirtuPet reads your steps from Apple Health, so the steps your iPhone or Apple Watch records all count. You don't need to keep the app open while you walk.

What happens if I miss a day?

Your pet feels it and gets a little sad, but nothing is lost. One good walk brings them right back, and a streak repair can save your streak.

How many pets can I collect?

Beyond your starter pet there are 101 animals to discover across 9 biomes: Forest, Ocean, Desert, Arctic, Jungle, Mountain, Savanna, Wetlands and Mythic.

Do I have to walk outside?

Every step counts wherever you take it, even on a treadmill, and your steps warm your eggs. Eggs on the map are the bonus for heading outside.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Add friends with a code or an invite link, race on the weekly leaderboard and team up on duo goals. Invite a friend and you both get a free Scout Pack when they hit their first daily goal.

Is VirtuPet on Android?
