Epic?
Something glows deep inside the caves under the Wilds...
Two ways to play
ðĄ Zoo Mode
The normal game, always on
Catch creatures, carry them home and build the best zoo. Your zoo earns coins even while you're away, and everything is saved forever.
⥠Quick-Fire
A 3-minute race every 5 minutes
Starts right in your server. Everyone starts at 0 points, so new players can win! Bring creatures home to score; rarer ones and variants are worth more. The top 3 win Super Bait.
Anything you catch during a race still goes into your zoo, so you never lose anything by racing.
In the game, the bar under the day/night timer always shows which mode you're in and when the next Quick-Fire starts. Tap it to see this explanation.
How to play
- 1
Head into the Wilds
The big area in the middle of the map, with five biomes. Some creatures only live in one biome, and rare ones come out at night.
- 2
Catch!
Walk up and press E (or tap Catch). Tap when the needle is in the green zone. The prompt tells you if it's easy, medium or hard! Miss, and it vanishes!
- 3
Carry it home
It sits on your head and slows you down. Other keepers can tackle you with F, so run!
- 4
Earn coins
Every creature in your zoo makes coins into your vault, a little even while you're offline. Step on the glowing green pad to collect, but don't leave it too long: when the vault is full (it turns red), your zoo stops earning! Upgrade to a Bigger Vault in SHOP âš ZOO.
- 5
Upgrade
Better traps catch rarer creatures, and more pens hold more of them. Rarer creatures make way more coins. The best traps take months to earn, so there's always a next goal!
ðĄïļ Safe at home
Nobody can tackle you inside your own zoo, and creatures in your pens can never be stolen.
ðĶķ Tackle back
Got robbed? Chase them down and tackle them back before they reach their zoo! You can only steal creatures your trap could catch, so upgrade to go after the big ones. But aim well: miss, and you fall flat on your face for a couple of seconds.
ðĪ Giant creatures
Giants are super heavy. Ask a friend to Help Carry and they get a share... unless they betray you!
ðī Sneaky naps
Some creatures nap during the day. Look for the "Zzz"!
ðšïļ Explore the Wilds
Misty Forest, Glow Swamp, Rocky Highlands and Frostfield, each with its own creatures. Every 15 minutes the zoos turn 90° (hold on, the ground rumbles!), so your zoo sits beside a new biome! Can you find the Hidden Grove?
ð Quests
Three daily and three weekly quests, with a bonus for finishing them all. Fill the Index for Super Bait, trophies and titles!
ðĶ Stack them
Catch the same creature again and it stacks in its pen, up to Ã5. Each extra copy adds +25% to that pen (Ã5 = double the coins), with no extra space needed!
ð Invite friends
When a new friend joins from your invite and plays 10 minutes, you both get Super Bait.
ð Zoo Tours
Tap TOURS to visit other zoos and rate them. The best-rated zoo in the server gets a crown!
ðū Lively pens
Your zoo is big and roomy, and your creatures wander around their pens, stopping for a look around.
ðŠĪ Bait
Head deep into the Wilds and the Bait buttons appear: throw one to lure a better creature just ahead of you. It won't work right next to the zoos!
ð° Wild surprises
Every few minutes something happens in the Wilds: a treasure chest to grab, a stampede of creatures, or a Golden creature to hunt. Be first!
ðĨ Catch streaks
Hit the middle of the green for a PERFECT catch and bonus coins. Catch several in a row without missing for Bait and Super Bait!
ð Hidden hunts
Only one Epic or rarer roams the Wilds at a time. Epics turn up without a word, and when a Legendary appears the server only hears that it's out there somewhere. Explore to find it first!
ð Season 1
Everyone started fresh in Season 1, with new leaderboards. Robux purchases are always kept.
ð Wardrobe
Dress up your keeper! Try on Roblox hairstyles, hats, glasses, shirts and hoodies for free, and earn original keeper gear like the Ranger Hat, Capture Net and Moonlight Wings with coins. Plus a few exclusive styles, like the Starlight Crown.
ðĄ Zoo Expansion
Open the back yard of your zoo for 4 more pens and 6 more decorations.
Creatures
Cryptids to discover in the Wilds. Coins per minute shown for the normal version; variants earn much more.
âĶ Elusive creatures
Super-rare creatures that only you can see. A new one appears in your Wilds every day. Can you catch it before it vanishes?
1. Your daily Elusive
Every day (midnight UTC) your own Elusive creature appears somewhere in the Wilds. Nobody else can see it or catch it. Follow the âĶ marker to find it, or tap the Elusive card in the top-right corner.
2. Win the catch, then roll
Elusives are harder to catch: one extra hit and a smaller target. Win the minigame and the game rolls the catch chance. If it fails, it breaks free and vanishes. You get 2 tries a day; after that it's back tomorrow.
3. Your luck builds up
Every miss makes your next try a little luckier (+5% of its base chance each time, up to 3Ã). Catching an Elusive resets the luck for that rarity.
4. Bonded to you
Once caught, your Elusive is bonded to you. Others can tackle you for it, but it never enters their zoo: it escapes back home after 60 seconds, or as soon as the thief reaches their zoo.
Which Elusives do I get?
Your trap decides the rarity. You need at least the Ghost Trap to start meeting Elusives. Creatures you haven't caught yet turn up more often.
| Your trap | Elusive rarity |
|---|
All Elusives and their catch chance
The catch chance is rolled after you win the catch minigame. Luck from misses and Charms raise it.
Charms (coins only)
A Charm doubles the catch chance of your next Elusive try of that rarity. Charms are bought with in-game coins, never Robux, and they're expensive on purpose!
ðŪ Coming soon
New creatures are on their way to the Wilds. Can you guess what they are?
???
Legendary?
Giant footprints keep appearing around the Desert Ruins.
???
Mythic?
A shape drifts through the clouds on Storm Nights.
New features on the way
ðĨ Flash Bomb
Blind everyone nearby for a few seconds and grab the creature first!
ð Trading
Swap creatures safely with your friends.
âïļ Storm Nights
A brand-new night event with its own rare variant.
ðïļ Weekly variants
A limited variant every week. Catch it before it's gone!
â Favorite Cryptid Keepers on Roblox and you'll get notified when updates land!
ð Champion creatures
Finish in the top 3 of a Quick-Fire race to earn podiums. Enough podiums unlock a Champion: during every race your own Champion appears in the Wilds, and only you can see it. Catch it before the race ends! Once caught it's bonded to you, so nobody can steal it.
Rare variants
Any creature can spawn as a rare variant. Variants earn more coins, and you can collect every one in your Index.
Traps & progression
Your trap decides what you can catch. One rarity above your trap is possible but tricky! Every other trap is an upgrade that makes the next rarity much easier.
| Trap | Catches comfortably | Price |
|---|

For parents
What is Cryptid Keepers?
A free Roblox game about catching cute, made-up creatures from folklore and building a zoo. Players can "tackle" each other to steal creatures they're carrying. It's cartoon-style with no violence or gore: a tackle just knocks you over for a couple of seconds. Creatures already in a player's zoo can never be taken.
Chat & safety
The game uses Roblox's standard chat and safety systems; you can manage chat and spending from your child's Roblox account Parental Controls. This website has no accounts, forms, cookies or trackers.
Random items & odds
Nothing is a paid "loot box". The only Robux item with a random result is Super Bait, which lures one creature. Its odds are shown in the game before purchase and here:
| Rarity | Normal Bait | Super Bait |
|---|
| Variant | Normal Bait | Super Bait |
|---|
Elusive creatures & Charms
Elusive creatures are free daily encounters. Their catch chances are listed openly in the Elusive section above and in the game. Charms that improve those chances can only be bought with in-game coins earned by playing, never with Robux.
Odds shown are without boosts. When someone in the server buys 2x Server Luck, rarer creatures and variants become more likely for everyone; the game always shows the current odds before you buy.
Everything that costs Robux
The game is fully playable for free. These are optional.
