From the BAFTA nominated team at Night Zookeeper, Wilds is an online adventure bound only by the limits of your creativity. Create characters, bring them to life, and embark on your own adventure in fast paced multiplayer action.
About the Game
In Wilds by Night Zookeeper, every creature begins as a drawing.
Using the game’s creative tools and the Pond of Possibility, players can draw anything they imagine and watch it become a fully rigged 3D creature. These creations—known as Wilds—become playable companions that can be collected, customised, developed and equipped for different styles of play.
Players then take their Wilds into an evolving online world filled with competitive and cooperative multiplayer games, unusual locations, hidden discoveries, quests and unpredictable events.
The way each Wild is designed and developed influences how the player competes, collaborates and interacts with the world. The result is a universe in which no two creature collections—and no two adventures—are exactly alike.
Wilds is being developed for children, families and players with imaginative, creative approaches to games.

Multiplayer & Game Modes
Wilds combines competitive, cooperative and adventure-based play. The game’s online encyclopaedia — the Zook — currently catalogues 11 game modes and adventures, including:
Light Ball
Take to the Light Ball Stadium and use your flashlight to blast the ball into the goal. Score the most goals to win in this fast-paced arena showdown.
The Chaos Dice
Hunt for the Chaos Dice hidden in the Whispering Woods. Every roll unleashes an unpredictable outcome that cannot be reversed. Are you prepared to face the consequences?
The Golden Flashlight
Race through the Whispering Woods to find the Golden Flashlight. Hold on to it to score points, but watch out -- every other player is after it too.
Wild Rescue
The Wilds are trapped in cages across the Woods Clearing. Smash the cages to free them, rush injured Wilds to Florence’s healing tent, and race against the clock and the Voids to save them all.
Voids Attack!
The Voids are attacking the Whispering Woods. Explore the Tainted Glades and blast them with your flashlight to save the night. The more Voids you destroy, the more points you earn.
The Great Berry Harvest
Race through the Whispering Woods gathering Imagine Berries before time runs out and darkness swallows the grove. Blast berries off their branches with your flashlight and collect as many as you can.
Stifle the Gorilla
Venture through the Whispering Woods in search of the one animal that holds the secret to Stifle the Gorilla’s weakness. Do you have what it takes to save the woodland residents from this ferocious foe?
A Kaleidoscope of Night Butterflies
Night Butterflies are loose in the Whispering Woods. Race to rescue them from the evil Voids before they disappear, and keep your eyes peeled for rare rainbow butterflies along the way.
Mysterious Moonflowers
Harvest as many Moonflowers as you can across the Whispering Woods. Each Moonflower gathered is worth more points than the last, but watch out for lurking Voids as you race against the clock.
Penguins’ Hot Chocolate
All the hot chocolate has gone missing from Igloo City. Explore your surroundings, track down mugs of hot chocolate, and deliver them to Professor Penguin to earn points -- but watch out for Grudge.
Honeyton’s Spelling Bee
Put your spelling skills to the test in Mayor Bertie’s quiz. Find the missing letters scattered across the map and blast them in the correct order to answer each question.
Game modes and content remain subject to development before release.
