October 13, 2026
Your hatchling has room to start and can slide along obstacles when you steer diagonally. In the lifecycle game, each nesting beat counts one tap, so keeping time matters more than tapping fast. Your final tap also leaves the results open for you to read.
Take a turtle adventure →More room to play on small screens
October 13, 2026
The install reminder stays out of your games, leaving your thumb stick clear. The lifecycle game starts below the menu, coloring sheets fit narrow phones, and keyboard controls stay ready as you move through games and answer article quizzes.

August 16, 2026
Eight questions — what you would eat, how cold you like it, whether you want a crowd around you — and you find out which of the seven sea turtles you are.

Explore Daily Migration →Your eggs follow you everywhere
August 11, 2026
Some of you were losing your eggs and turtles when you came back the next day. That is fixed — your collection stays put now. You can also grab a secret code on the My Turtle page and use it to bring your turtles to a different computer or tablet.
Get your code →Play the big game on a phone
