Photograph a real animal and it's yours to battle and train. Every walk, hike or dog walk becomes a hunt. Paid game, one plan, no ads, nothing else to buy.
Photograph a real animal and it becomes your creature. Train it, battle for the park down the road, and every walk, hike or dog walk turns into a hunt — the wildlife is genuinely wherever you are.
ANIMALIS UNLIMITED
Animalis is a paid game. Catching animals needs Animalis Unlimited: £3.99 a month or £24.99 a year (auto-renewing — cancel any time in your App Store account settings), or a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices vary by country; the exact price is shown in the app before you buy. No ads, no coin packs, nothing else to buy.
CAPTURE REAL ANIMALS BY PHOTO
Step outside, spot a creature, and snap a photo. Animalis identifies the real species and adds it to your encyclopedia — from the beetles in the grass to the foxes on your evening walk.
BATTLE, LEVEL UP, GROW
Build a team of six and take on wild animals in turn-based battles. Across 11 animal types, every species has its own strengths, moves and matchups — train them, level them up, and grow them through their real life stages. Pair two grown-ups in the Sanctuary to raise their young. Sexes, castes and colour forms are the real ones too.
A WORLD BASED ON YOURS
You photograph the real animals around you, so your collection is whatever genuinely lives where you are — a city park, a forest, a beach, and a riverside each turn up different species. Travel somewhere new and so does the wildlife.
CLAIM GYMS, EARN BADGES
Real-world parks are home to Gyms. Beat a gym's defenders to earn its Badge, then leave your own team to hold it. A held gym earns Leaves every day, and any challenger your team beats forfeits their stake. Gym leaderboards run by country, continent and world.
CLIMB THE CANOPY
The animal family tree, as a ladder you battle up — species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom. Install a team on a rung you own, beat the rung below to unlock the next, and hold rungs for badges, rank rewards and daily Leaves. Playable from anywhere, no park needed.
FOLLOW THE SEASONS
Hundreds of limited-time wildlife events matched to what is really happening in nature near you — migrations, births, insect emergences, the rut. Each names a real animal, a real region and real dates. Catch it in season to earn its badge and reward.
GO ON EXPEDITIONS
Goals you complete anywhere — win battles, catch animals, raise a young one — then claim at a real building nearby: a library, hospital, pharmacy, café or fitness centre. Each pays out items and Leaves, earns a badge, and unlocks a new item to buy for good.
SWAP AT THE TRADING POST
List an animal you have two of, say what you want back — a minimum level, a type, a family or species — and any player with a match can take the trade. Animals for animals, from anywhere.
THE LEK
List yourself and any player in the world can take you on.
BATTLE AND TRADE WITH FRIENDS
Add friends with an invite link or QR code, spot each other on the map, and go head-to-head in player-versus-player battles. Trade animals to round out your collection — and invite a friend and you both earn Nets.
HEAL AT REAL LANDMARKS
Visit a real-world place of worship — church, temple, or mosque — to heal your team for free at a Health Centre. Drop into a real supermarket to find a Shop and stock up on Nets, Potions, and Revives.
BUILD YOUR ENCYCLOPEDIA
Every capture fills your personal encyclopedia with taxonomy, habitat, and conservation status. Threatened species carry real battle Traits, and your first of each Red List level earns Leaves. Browse every animal players have found at playanimalis.com/encyclopaedia.
GET OUTSIDE
A clean, considered game that gets you out in nature and rewards you for exploring.
