How to play Boop Zoo
Hungry animals come to the zoo, each with a bubble showing the food it wants: give it that food before it runs out of patience.
The goal
Feed as many animals as you can. Every animal you feed gives points: more when it eats quickly, more for a combo of animals fed in a row, and three times as many for a star animal with a crown. When an animal leaves hungry you lose a heart, and after three hearts the zoo closes. Your best game is your score on the Top 50.

Tips
- Look at the patience bar under each animal: feed the one whose bar is red first.
- A wrong food does not cost a heart, but the animal loses some patience and your combo starts again.
- Small children can tap the food and then the animal instead of dragging.
- A big eater gets a little patience back with every portion.
About the game
Boop Zoo is a calm and cheerful game made to be easy for young children and still fun for grown-ups. It starts with only a bunny, a monkey and a kitty, and each animal shows a picture of the food it wants, so there is nothing to read. A new player sees a little hand show how to feed the first animal.
The more animals you feed, the busier the zoo gets: more animals wait at once, new animals come with new foods, some ask for two or three portions, and everyone gets hungry faster. Fast feeding and long combos make the score grow quickly.
Missions, new zoos to unlock, the daily challenge and the Top 50 give a reason to come back for one more game.
Questions and answers
Is Boop Zoo good for young children?
Yes. The animals show their food as a picture, there is nothing to read while playing, a food can be tapped instead of dragged, and a wrong food never costs a heart.
How do I meet new animals?
Keep feeding: a new animal joins after a few animals fed, and more come the longer the game lasts. A card shows each new friend and the food it likes.
What does the patience bar mean?
It shows how long the animal will wait. Green is plenty of time, yellow is hurry up, and red means it is about to leave hungry.
Can I play without the internet?
Yes, once the game has loaded it plays offline. The Top 50 needs a connection.
