Common questions
FAQHow do I get a robot pet?
Head to Vending Machine 2 and purchase a robot pet there. Buying it automatically unlocks the Pet Collector badge. The game has twelve pets to unlock in total, but the robot pet is the one you need for badge progress.
Why is my Environmentalist badge not unlocking?
You need to have your robot pet with you during every Conservation World task — completing the tasks without it does not count. Buy the robot pet from Vending Machine 2 first, then head straight to the Conservation World.
How many biomes are there and what are they like?
There are eight biomes in total. They include a tropical rainforest where you hunt for pink dolphins by drone, an ocean reef you explore with sensors, a savannah where Big Data helps you identify animals, and several others focused on community, school, museum exhibits, and conservation.
