[Ad- gifted product] Tamagotchis have lasted so long – I had one as a kid, Robin and Amelia each had their own. There is something fun about carrying around a little pet that you take care of and raise! GigaPets Cryptids is a new type of Tamagotchi, where you can find and raise mythical creatures like the loch ness monster (Nessie), Bigfoot and Mothman – who I have never heard of myself!
These pets are surprisingly tame when you find them, hidden among the trees. You are able to actually get them as a baby, then grow them to become a full sized monster! Robin was very excited to start her GigaPets Cryptids adventure, and got a baby version of Bigfoot who looked a lot like an apple-blob to her, so she spent some time trying to guess who it was! Over time, you can get all three pets to take care of, swapping between them to play and meet their needs.
Bigfoot’s favorite game to do within the GigaPets device is actually bowling, which is an activity that Robin did recently too. This mini-game was primarily animation, but she very much enjoyed it. Each of the different pets have different mini-games that they enjoy doing, and you can unlock more when you get more pets. Having bowling at the first pet was quite fun for Robin. Mothman is able to save falling cars in their mini-game, which is equally as fun.
Another really good feature of the GigPets Cryptids are that these pets do not die. Robin has previously expressed she was really sad when her digital pets pass away, however for these mythical creatures, they instead run away and hide, allowing you to find them again and meet their needs once again, so that they are happy and playful. It’s a very interesting take on other digital pets, and one that I am sure will find it’s way on many of our family’s adventures.
omg I had this growing up and it was soooo much fun to take care of…I love it!!! This brings amazing memories…
These are so fun! Would be the perfect gift for my niece – she wants a pet but my sister won’t get her one – this could be a great alternative.
This is the coolest! It reminds me so much of the Tamigachi I had when I was in school.
Such a fun and nostalgic review! Gigapets Cryptids seem like a blast from the past. I know my nieces would love them!
Oh these remind me of Tamagotchi’s! Love that there’s something comparable for kids today – those were always the best!
I remember the Tamagotchi fad back in the day. These GigaPets Cryptids will keep kids occupied for a long time!
Gigapets Cryptids looks really a good game to play with. I can gift this to my niece.
I like that you can carry them around and do several things on them.
I love how these GigaPets Cryptids mix nostalgia with something totally new. The idea of raising Bigfoot or Mothman is so fun, and the mini‑games sound adorable — especially the bowling! Also really appreciate that the pets don’t ‘die’ but just hide, it makes the whole thing feel much more kid‑friendly.
I like that it simple to use yet still entertaining often toys nowadays are just too complicated but this seems like the perfect mix
These bring me back to my childhood. It kept me entertained for months. My daughter would appreciate this i think.
Blimey this brings back so many memories, I loved my Tamagotchi but this one is so much more colourful than mine used to be. A handy judge of how my child would look after a real pet
It takes me back to being younger. I love that it’s simple but gives learning of responsibility.
Something similar to what I had when young – the girls will fall in love with this
This brings back memories and is great fun, has mini games on it too!
I always wanted one of these growing up I kept my friends ones alive at playtime 🤣
I think people are always very interested in creatures like Nessie and Bigfoot – I love that this brings them into everyday life.
i remember them many years ago
This brings back memories and is great fun i never had one but my friend did and i always was so jealous lol
