Every QR code is a portal

Scan the world. Catch what lives in it.

Point your iPhone at any QR code (a menu, a poster, a Wi-Fi sign) and its own squares rise off the paper as glowing columns. A Codekin, a creature made of living data, steps out onto your table.

How it works

Three steps, any code, anywhere

  1. 1

    Scan

    Hold your phone up to any QR code. The corners lock on and the code blooms into a portal right where it's printed.

  2. 2

    Battle

    The Codekin inside steps out onto the real surface. Pick moves with an eye on matchups: blaze, tide, grove, spark, stone, gale, shade and prism.

  3. 3

    Decode

    Weaken it, then catch it: its code fragments scatter around you, and you move your phone to read each one before time runs out.

The Codekin

131 creatures made of living data

Every code hides its own Codekin, and each one carries the signature of the code it came from, so no two look quite alike. Legends move from code to code, and a few only answer to secrets.

Habitats

Different codes draw different Codekin

What a code points to decides what lives behind it. Menus run hot, waterside codes run wet, and pay codes hide rare finds. Track down all eighteen.

One of a kind

Show off every catch

Each Codekin's look comes from the code it rose out of. Share a card of your newest catch, with its code mark and the kind of place it was hiding, never what the code says.

Face to face

Battle and trade with a friend

Stand next to each other, scan the same code, and fight or swap Codekin on one shared stage.

Every day

Goals, streaks and rank

Three new goals each day, a streak bonus for coming back, and a trainer rank that draws out stronger Codekin as you grow.

Private by design
