How it plays

Every page is a game.

Tap, swipe or draw on the pop-ups. You can't really lose: every finished chapter earns at least one bone.

  • Lift the flaps

    Chapter 4 · Where's Willow?

    Tap the furniture and it folds down like a paper flap. A sock, a dust bunny… or Willow.

  • Swipe the leaves

    Chapter 14 · The Wet Leaf

    Wet leaves keep fluttering onto the path home. Clear them before Willow steps in one.

  • Draw the trick

    Chapter 21 · Anything for Chicken

    Cat calls a trick for chicken: tap to sit, circle to spin, swipe up to beg.

  • Do the rounds

    Chapter 20 · Office Rounds

    Send her from lap to lap around the office. She always saves Sven for last.

The scrapbook

A polaroid for every chapter.

The photo is taken the moment you win, so the scrapbook fills with your own game. Three bones earn a gold paw.
