Create your personal anime Twin

Take a selfie and record your voice on your phone. Then add your interests.

Maya creates her own anime Twin from a photo on her smartphone.

Your Twins start the conversation.

See how your Twins get along, then open a chat if you’re both interested.

Finding someone who fits can take a lot of chats and first dates.

Two translucent digital Twins face each other in a softly blurred electronic space, with an X on the left and a heart on the right suggesting swipe choices.

Maya’s TwinMaya loves quiet weekends. She plans dinner two days ahead.

Ken’s TwinSo does Ken. He cooks. He decides that afternoon. Meet halfway?

Play online with your companions

Play with other players or Twins. Summon companions from your collection to fight alongside you.

Step outside with GPS hunts

GPS treasure hunts take the game outside, where you might cross paths with other players.

Two adults follow separate paths toward a park footbridge, each looking at their phone during a treasure hunt. Looking up, they notice each other and exchange a friendly greeting by the trees.

Chance encounters

Follow a trail through your neighborhood and see who else is out exploring.

Nearby alerts help you notice the people around you.

Plan a date

Get place recommendations and coupons on your phones, then plan a date together.

Maya checks a phone map in a riverside park. A route leads from her location, across the same footbridge visible ahead, to a treasure marker.

Find a spot

Follow a route to a real-world treasure.

A woman stops beside a park trail sign. Her phone reads Treasure found: Wayfarer’s Greatsword.

Claim the weapon

Arrive at the location, then claim it.

One Twin, shared memories

Ken’s Twin can recall the game while Maya is out, and remember her day when they return to the game.

Maya wears her CogniBit while choosing blue flowers. Ken’s Twin sees the flowers through the outward camera and recalls their game adventure.
