How you get your shared pet
Friends who join by link get a Doori together. If you met by letter, both of you need to write, with messages on 3 different days, before you can offer a shell. Your friend taps the offered shell to hatch it.
Shared virtual pet
Virtual pet app: raise Doori with a friend
Doori is a little hermit crab you raise together with one friend in Sea Pals, a free virtual pet app. If you enjoy virtual pet games, its shell gives you something to watch grow as you talk. When your conversation rests, Doori naps and keeps its progress.
Pebble, striped, stickered, pearl
Doori starts with a pebble shell. Later shells depend on time together and the sea glass earned when you write back to each other. The stages go from pebble to striped, stickered and pearl.
Boop Doori from your Home Screen
On iPhone, the Friend widget shows your shared Doori and has a boop button. Tap it to send a little touch to your friend without opening the app. A shared pet app can be a small hello between longer chats.
A virtual pet that doesn’t die
When your chat goes quiet for a while, Doori naps. Come back to the conversation whenever you like: this is a no-stress virtual pet.
A Doori for your lagoon
A lagoon gets its own shared Doori when friends start joining. Everyone in the group shares the crab, with a little house beside it. The Group widget on iPhone lets members boop the lagoon’s Doori, too.
A virtual pet app for couples, too
Share Doori with a partner you already know by connecting through a link or code. Replies help its shell grow, and you can boop it from the Friend widget on iPhone.
