Creature collections is an interactive feature that is exclusive to the Game Launcher app. It crafts missions based on your gaming history and creates different eggs for you to find, hatch and keep. Every mission contains a unique egg so the more games you download, the more creatures you collect.

Creature collections depend on the device you have and the games you have installed. When you download a new game, Creature collections will reveal a new mission. However, this also depends on the type of games you have installed – with different genres come different missions. In the future, missions will be updated according to our operation policy so please be on the lookout for new ones.
