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 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 and one-way life.

Most traits are likely to land somewhere in the comfortable middle. Very big or very small differences happen less often. The range stays gentle, so even an unusual Chumkin still looks and moves like a Chumkin.

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.

Yes. Active Chumkins age and can die if their needs remain neglected. Death is permanent. You can also deliberately kill one, but that requires a press-and-hold confirmation. Every Chumkin who dies remains on its owner’s cemetery wall.

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 watches the care circles while you are away. When food, water or cleanliness falls halfway, Nanny takes care of it and keeps an ordinary absence from becoming dangerous.

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. After those, tokens purchased on the website can be spent on mystery eggs and sending envelopes. An egg reveals its Chumkin only when it hatches.

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 buy little things for your room: accessories, toys and decorations. Tokens can become coins, but coins cannot turn back into tokens. Dress a Chumkin, leave out a toy, or arrange the room your way.

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.
