How it works

From the pet you love to a world of creatures.

Seven steps, one thread running through all of them: your real pet. Here's how Petlings goes from a pet on your Petso account to a whole world outside your door.

  1. 1

    Add your pet to Petso

    Every pet on Petso gets a Digital ID, a secure record of who they are. It's free in the Petso app.

  2. 2

    Hatch your Familiar

    Your pet's identity becomes a one-of-a-kind creature, your first Petling. A pet hatches its Familiar once. Your Familiar stays with you for good. It can't be sold.

    Grow the bond

    Pick a Companion and look in each day. Real care for your real pet counts too, and every counted day writes a line into its story.

Questions

Is Petlings free?

Petlings is free to play in the Petso app. You don't need to know anything about crypto.

Do I need a pet?

Your Familiar hatches from a pet on your Petso account, so you'll want to add yours. Exploring the Wilds, the games and Family Circles are open to the whole family.

Where do I play?

Petlings is in the Petso app on iPhone and Android. This website is a guide and a set of demos; nothing here is saved to a Petso account.

Is it safe for children?

Children join only as family members added by a parent, from age 6. They have no chat, no strangers and no social feed, and parents stay in control of Circles and play.
