About this game

Peridot fulfills your fantasy of bonding with a magical, brag-worthy creature that can fly through the air, always wants to be by your side, and might have a secret love for turkey sandwiches. With the power of AR, this pet simulation game places whimsical beings known as Peridots (“Dots'' for short) in the real world with you. And with Peridot, playing with friends is better, simple as that. Meet up with your besties IRL to Hatch new Dots that will inherit the Traits of their parents, then snap a pic and share it with your friends!
_______________

ADOPT your very own Peridot, creatures that feel and look totally real. Each Dot has unique DNA which makes them a truly special companion made just for you.

NURTURE your creatures and help them live their best lives. Play fetch, teach them how to shake their butt, give them belly rubs, and dress them up in hats, mustaches, bowties, and more!

EXPLORE the world, get outside, and see the world in a new way through your Dot’s eyes. Your Dot is curious about the environment and might uncover hidden items depending on where you adventure with them. When your Dot is looking particularly adorable, snap photos and videos to share with your friends on social.

COLLABORATE with your friends and other players to breed your Dots together and Hatch entirely new Dots that are genetically unique. Discover together what’s possible and encounter endless possibilities of Peridot Archetypes that resemble some of your favorite animals, including cheetahs, unicorns, peacocks, and more. You can even combine and pass down these rare Traits to the future generations of Dots.

EXPAND your beloved family of Dots by unlocking badass Peridot Archetypes and Traits as you climb the ranks within the Peridot Keeper Society.

EXPERIENCE a rich narrative as you learn about the mysterious ancient past of these creatures and work to preserve the species for future generations.

Join this heartwarming journey today and rediscover just how beautiful the world around you truly is.

Too expensive for a boring experience. The pets are cute, and the aspect of breeding reminds me of Neopets, but there's nothing really to do beyond that. It's repetitive. It's a nice concept, but the prices need to be reduced. If you want new things or experiences, you have to pay £10, which is insane for what you get. That's an hour of my work time. The pets are usually invisible, so it's really hard to find them during training or saving infected wild ones (which is essential).

A very simple virtual pet game. The AR tech is cool, recognising surfaces and segmenting people/animals. Like other niantic games this is location based but peridot doesn't make use of it - there is zero reason to walk around. Cute critters but gameplay is shallow and repetitive. Your dot grows up in a couple of hours play. The most interesting part - breeding new dots with different appearances - is locked behind a pay wall.

Thank you for your feedback. We've recently introduced additional opportunities to earn Nests in-game, such as by actively playing each day, by leveling up, and for special quests each month. We hope you give Peridot another try!

Enjoying the game, however it's still very glitchy. I love the new introduction of ways you can earn nests 😊 £5 a time to buy was way to much for my budget, especially when both kids want to play too. It still destroys your battery so can't play fir long time and can't play at all whilst out n about. Adventure sync works to measure the weeks distance however won't count towards each dot wanting you to 'take a walk' (which due to the battery consumption, and heat generated is almost impossible
