About

A long, long time ago, there were ancient forests filled with magic. The forests were alive with tiny bugs and all sorts of critters and creatures. The trees gave people shelter and a quiet place to rest. When people walked there, they could feel the magic all around them, and they cared for the forest, helping it stay strong and alive.

But as time passed, people forgot how to listen to nature. The magic grew weaker. People moved away to the cities, and the forests began to fade, almost disappearing.

Still, not everyone forgot. Some people loved the forests so much that they saved the trees' magical seeds. They hid the seeds in a secret place, whispering that one day the chosen one would appear. This chosen one would find the hidden seeds and bring the forests—and their magic—back to life.

And who knows… maybe the chosen one walks among us even now. Maybe… it could be you.

Tiny Wilds is a magical adventure where you and your friends become tiny explorers in a vast, colorful world. Coming to Wear OS soon!

Available now on Google Play for:

  • Wear OS smartwatches (standalone — no phone needed!)

Getting started is easy! Simply download the game from the Google Play Store, install it on your watch, and tap the icon to launch. The game features a helpful tutorial that guides new players through the basics.

Hi! Thank you for playing Tiny Wilds!

We are Pix and Taiste, a Dutch-Finnish-US-Ukrainian cooperation of developers and designers, who love creating unique and friendly experiences. We've had a blast creating Tiny Wilds (and Disaster Diner!), and we hope you enjoy it too!

Blake Charvoz

Our project manager. When it comes to Tiny Wilds, he is Chief Explorer, navigating us all safely through the deep forest.

Ida Silaste

Illustrated everything you see in the forest. The flowers, the seeds, the little creatures, all drawn with her characteristic charm.

Sami Sorvali

Is our designer. He put every pixel in its place, and made sure the game looks and feels just right. As animator, not a single leaf in the forest would be blowing in the wind without him!

Artem Svystun

Made everything work the way it should. He coded the whole jungle, and programmed all the creepy-crawly things. This is the first time he put bugs in the software.

Mathijs Lagerberg

Should not be on this page. But hey, he made this website so he's part of the team, we guess. He found a bug in Tiny Wilds once, but then he took it and put it in Disaster Diner, only to fry it and eat it! Gross!

For Parents

Tiny Wilds is designed for kids and families. There is no violence, no in-app purchases, and no advertising.

In-app screen time is naturally short, making it easy to set natural stopping points. The game does not pressure players to keep playing and there are no loot boxes, gacha mechanics, or pay-to-win elements.

We know that everyone moves differently, and that's perfectly okay! If taking steps is difficult or not possible for you, your water tank will still refill every day on its own. Tiny Wilds is meant to be fun and relaxing for everyone - you can enjoy growing your magical garden at your own pace, no matter how you get around.

The game does not collect personal data from players. No account creation is required to play.

How to Play

🌰 Find Ancient Seeds

Your journey begins when you find magical Ancient Seeds! These special seeds hold the power to bring a forgotten forest back to life.

🌱 Plant Your Garden

Plant seeds in the soil to start your magical garden. Watch them grow as the magic re-awakens! Plants grow through 4 stages - nurture them to reach each new level.

💧 Water Your Plants

Tap the water tank in the center of your garden to make it rain. Water refills every day, but know this: take steps each day to refill your water faster! Keep your plants watered so they grow healthy and strong.

Grow different plants on each garden layer. Up to 6 plants can grow on each layer. Level up your garden to unlock new layers!

Explore Garden Layers

As your plants grow taller, you'll discover new layers:

  • Soil Layer - Where it all begins
  • Ground Layer - Above the soil
  • Understory Layer - Shady plants love it here
  • Canopy Level - High in the trees
  • Cloud Level - Reach for the sky!

When your garden is full, you have choices to make room for new plants:

  • Compost a plant to free up space (it returns to the earth)
  • Share a plant as a gift to a friend

Healthy plants attract friendly bugs and amazing creatures! Your Creature Catalog tracks every little visitor. Tap any creature to learn about it; each creature has fun facts and special abilities.

🎮 Play Minigames

Play fun minigames with your creatures, to unlock new creature variants and cool effects. Replay minigames to collect them all! Some minigames are interactive little games, some use breathing exercises - relax and focus for 60 seconds.

When you need space for new visitors:

  • Release a creature back to the wild (new friends will come!)
  • Share a creature as a gift to a friend
  • Be patient - plants take time to grow
  • Stay active - walking helps refill your water faster
  • Try everything - explore all layers and discover all creatures
  • Share with friends - gifting plants and creatures is fun!
  • Have fun - this is your magical garden to enjoy!

Happy Gardening! 🌻✨
