Hilda Creatures was a mobile app game which was available for Android & iOS, based on the Netflix original series, developed in association with Silvergate Media.
The game was discontinued from around 2019[1] and was taken off mobile app stores in March 2022 because of issues. It is thus no longer available to download officially as the developing company, BIGUMAKU, has been defunct. The only possible ways to play the game now are either keeping the app on your phone before it was taken down, or download it via third-party appstores. Support for the game has also been ceased and in-game payments are not possible anymore.
Gameplay[]
The purpose of the game is to find as many creatures as possible.
At the start of the game, the player can choose between two primary locations to go looking for creatures: The Wilderness, and Trolberg. Both locations are in turn divided in various sub locations, like Hilda’s old house, The Great Forest, mountains and the rock pools for the Wilderness.
To have more success at finding creatures , the player can purchase a large variety of items from the Wood Man, or other sources like the plant store. The player can pay for desired items with acorns; either regular or golden. Purchased items are stored in the backpack till the player decides to use them.
Some items, like food, have only a limited shelf life before they expire and can no longer be used. Other items, like flowers, require maintenance, like getting water, in order to fully benefit from them. Each item has four attributes: relaxing (the face), bling (the diamond), nature-loving (the leaf), or fun (the beach ball).
What creature the player will encounter depends on what combination of items is used at a certain location.
Creatures do not show up at once, even when the required items are placed, so the player can leave the app after setting up the items and come back later to check if any creatures appeared. If notifications are turned on, the app will warn the player when a creature has appeared.
Once the player successfully meets a creature, this creature will grand the player acorns as a gift. The player is then offered a variety of actions to perform. These include:
- Taking pictures for your friendship book.
- Talking
- Petting
- Picnic
Performing these actions will increase the friendship level between the player and that creature. When the player gathers a high enough friendship level from the various creatures he encounters, his own level will increase, thus unlocking more locations.
Between meeting creatures, the player is challenged by the Wood Man to complete certain tasks for extra acorns.

Trivia[]
- In order to increase the amount of creatures one can find, the app features creatures not seen in either the graphic novels or tv-series. These include new Elves, and new variations of already known creatures (like a Woff with dark brown fur, and a Woff wearing an eye patch).
- Nobrow, the publisher of Hilda comics, is the sister company of the developing company, BIGUMAKU.
- The app was taken off Play Store ( Android ) on 21st March 2022[2], before it was also gone on App Store ( iOS ) about 3 days after that[3], along with other apps from the same developing company, BIGUMAKU. This happens just 4 days after GUND dropped license producing merchandise for Hilda.[4]
