Capybaropolis is a daily animal-guessing puzzle from developer Michael Boujikian. Each day, players identify a mystery animal using pixelated photographs and written clues.
Editor takes
A cozy little guess-the-animal ritual that fits perfectly in a coffee break, even if the pixelated photos make you squint.
The animal-guessing loop leans on iNaturalist's taxonomy for clues, which keeps things fair and grounded, but I'd want the difficulty curve to stay sharp past day one.
With a Zukan to fill and an endless mode to chase, this is a completionist's dream — and the credits page practically dares you to name every credited contributor.
How to play Capybaropolis
The game presents an animal through cropped, pixelated photos shown on an in-game projector, alongside written clues that link out to further reading. Players make a guess and are shown the next animal. A daily puzzle is joined by an endless mode and the ability to replay yesterday's puzzle.
Tips & strategy
- Use the written clues before relying on the pixelated photos, since each clue links to additional context about the animal.
- The in-game Zukan (picture book) tracks animals you've encountered and can serve as a reference.
- The tree of life view, drawn from iNaturalist taxonomy, shows how the game's animals relate to one another.
