A Chumkin is a little digital creature that sticks around. It wanders, naps, eats, drinks, dances and has odd little moments of its own. There are no levels, quests or way to win.

Each surprise egg mixes 32 body and personality traits, plus colours and other appearance details. That creates quadrillions of possible mixes—more possibilities than stars in the sky. A combination could repeat, but each hatched Chumkin still has its own identity. You can also choose a familiar character design, with a new identity of its own.

Surprise eggs usually land near the middle of each trait, with bigger differences appearing less often. Wild and Cosmic character designs deliberately push some traits to extremes: heavier, bouncier, sleepier or more musical. You can preview and unlock those characters with coins.

It means the original genome roll was farther from the usual middle. Rarity stays with that individual through later genome updates. Rare does not mean better, stronger or worth more.

Someone can copy a picture, but that does not create another real Chumkin. Your Chumkin keeps its own identity code and belongs to one account at a time.

Classic Chumkins can die if their needs remain neglected. Death is permanent, and they remain in the cemetery. Companions cannot die and stay comfortable while you are away. Choose a care style when hatching; you can make a living Classic Chumkin a Companion later, but cannot switch back or revive a deceased Chumkin.

Each one gets hungry a little differently. A big eater may notice food early, while a patient little nibbler may wait. It still has to spot the food and wander close enough to eat it.

Nanny provides automatic care and death protection for Classic Chumkins while coverage is active. When food, water or cleanliness falls halfway, Nanny takes care of it. Companions are safe without a Nanny subscription.

The Cabinet is a safe pause. A Chumkin inside cannot come out on a device, but it also does not get older, hungry or sick. Bring it back whenever you are ready for its life to continue.

New accounts begin with three free eggs. Moss and one-of-a-kind surprise eggs need no coin unlock. Unlock more character designs once with coins, then choose them for future eggs. Puddle and Pip support either care style; Wild and Cosmic characters are immortal Companions. After your free eggs, use tokens for more eggs or sending envelopes.

Use one sending envelope and enter your friend’s account email. Your Chumkin leaves through the portal, waits for them to accept, and then arrives in their world. It moves to them; another one is not made.

No. A Chumkin can hang out in only one place at a time. Open My Chumkins, choose it, and summon it to the device in your hand. It leaves the old place and comes through the portal in the new one.

Yes. Several Chumkins can share the same room. They may pass in front of one another, bump when they meet on the same path, and occasionally get into something together.

Eggs, token bundles, envelopes and Nanny are handled on chumkins.com. The companion apps stay focused on feeding, playing and spending time together.

Coins unlock character designs and buy accessories, toys and decorations. Earn them by feeding, cleaning and playing, or exchange tokens at the displayed rate. Character unlocks are permanent for your account; hatching still uses an egg. Coins cannot turn back into tokens.

No. The Room can follow your clock, a city you type, or a time you choose. Weather is optional. Your phone or computer asks before sharing its location, and the choice stays on that device.

Yes. Turn on Listen to this room in Room Settings and allow microphone access. The Windows desktop beta can instead use This computer’s audio to hear music playing through the computer, including headphones. Chumkins analyses only rhythm and volume on your device; it does not record or upload the audio.
