How to play fREgs
Hatch a random pixel frog, keep it happy, play three mini games for points, dress it up from a shop that changes every day, take pictures of it in the photobooth, and hang out with everyone else's frogs in the pond.
Signing in
Your frog is saved to your account, so it follows you to any device. Sign in with a crypto wallet or with Google. If the site has email sign-in turned on, you can also get a one-tap link by email.
- Wallet sign-in only asks you to sign a message to prove the wallet is yours. fREgs never asks for a transaction, a token approval or your seed phrase.
- Use the same sign-in method every time. A wallet and a Google account count as two different players.
Hatching your frog
Everyone starts with a mystery egg. Tap it three times. It cracks a little more each tap, then hatches.
>
- Two things are rolled separately: the frog type (its body and colours) and its starter eyes.
- Each roll lands on Common 60% of the time, Uncommon 30% and Rare 10%, then picks one entry inside that rarity.
- The game shows how rare your exact combo is. The most common frogs, Green Tree or Green & Black with Normal eyes, are about 1 in 17 each. The rarest, Galaxy with Cyclops eyes, is 1 in 1,800.
- There are no rerolls. The server rolls your frog, and it's yours until you release it.
- Names are up to 14 letters, numbers, spaces and . _ ! ' -, shown in capitals.
Frog types and eyes
Every entry has a rarity (Common, Uncommon or Rare) and up to three filled squares that show how scarce it is inside that rarity. One square is the usual pick. Three squares turn up three times less often than one.

The device's shadow takes the colour of your frog's rarest part: G(RE:)EN for common, lime for uncommon, cyan for rare.
Looking after your frog
Your frog has four needs, each from 0 to 100. They drop a little every hour, even when you're away. A need under 25 flashes orange, and your frog says what it wants in a speech bubble.
| Need | Awake, per hour | Asleep, per hour | How to fill it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tummy | -8 | -4 | Feed: +28 (not when already 95 or more) |
| Fun | -6 | -2 | Play a game: +20. Pet your frog: +2. A friend's visit: +12 |
| Energy | -4 | +40 | Sleep. Each game round uses 12 |
| Clean | -3 | -1.5 | Bath: +45 (not when already 95 or more) |
Feed+28 tummy
PlayOpens your last game
Bath+45 clean
SleepEnergy refills. Tap again to wake- Mood: your frog is happy when its needs average 60 or more with none under 25. Below an average of 35 it turns sad and its colours fade.
- A sleeping frog can't eat, bathe or play. Wake it first.
- Tap your frog to pet it. It hops and says something.
- Frogs never die or run away, however low their needs get. They just get grumpy.
Games
The Games tab holds three mini games. Pick one with the cards at the top. Each card shows your best score. The Play button on the device opens whichever you played last.
- To play, your frog must be awake with at least 15 energy.
- Every round: -12 energy, +20 fun, -6 tummy, and your score becomes points.
- Switching tabs or games mid-round ends the round and pays what you scored so far.
Fly Catch
Bugs buzz across the pond for 30 seconds. Tap one and your frog's tongue snaps it up. Bugs speed up and come faster as the round goes on.
| Bug | Points | How often |
|---|---|---|
 Fly | +1 | 70% |
 Gold fly | +5 | 8% |
 Bee | -3 | 22% |
- Your score never drops below 0.
- Gold flies are fast and worth five flies. Go for them first.
- Bees shake the screen. Leave them alone.
- The tongue needs a moment between snaps, so pick targets instead of tapping wildly.
- Every fly anyone catches also counts toward the daily pond goal.
Hop Across
Get your frog across five lanes of traffic, onto the middle bank, across five lanes of river and into one of the five lily pads at the top.
Controls
Arrow keys or WASD, swipe on the board (a tap hops forward), or the arrow buttons under it.
Scoring
| Each new row you reach | +1 |
| Landing in an empty lily pad | +10 |
| Filling all five pads | +20, next level |
You lose a life when you
- get hit by a car or the truck
- land in the water or ride a log off the edge
- hop into the hedge or a pad that's already full
You have 3 lives. Each level makes everything 15% faster.
- Logs and turtles carry you sideways. Hop off before you drift out of the screen.
- Wait on the middle bank to time the river. Nothing can hit you there.
Lily Stack
Lily pads slide back and forth above your stack. Tap to drop each one. Whatever hangs over the edge gets trimmed off, so every sloppy drop makes the next pad narrower. Your frog hops up onto each new pad.
Controls
Tap or click the board, or press Space, Enter or the down arrow.
Scoring
| Each pad you land | +1 |
| Perfect drop (lined up almost exactly) | +3, no trim |
| Three perfect drops in a row | pad grows back a little |
The round ends when
- a pad misses the stack completely and your frog falls in
There's no timer. Pads slide a little faster with every one you land.
- Wait for the pad to line up, then tap. Perfect drops are worth three times as much and keep your stack wide.
- Drops need a short gap between them, so tapping fast won't help.
- A pad can only grow back to its starting width.
- Lily Stack doesn't count toward the pond goal. Only flies from Fly Catch do.
Points
Points are fREgs' only currency. You start with 40.
| Ways to earn | Points |
|---|---|
| Fly Catch round | your score |
| Hop Across game | your score |
| Lily Stack round | your score |
| Visiting another frog (up to 10 a day) | +3 each |
| Claiming the pond goal bonus | +25 a day |
Buying all 59 items costs about 6,435 points. The shop only ever shows items you don't own, so finishing the collection depends on how many points you earn, not luck:
| Points a day | Days to collect everything |
|---|---|
| 400 | about 17 |
| 250 | about 26 |
| 150 | about 44 |
| 100 | about 65 |
| 60 | about 108 |
Even with endless points it takes at least 10 days, because the shop shows 6 new items a day.
Lily Mart
The shop restocks every day at midnight in your own time zone. A countdown shows how long is left. Each restock has one special slot and five regular slots, and stays the same all day.
| Rarity | Regular slot | Special slot | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 60% | never | 30 to 55 pts |
| Uncommon | 30% | 30% | 65 to 125 pts |
| Rare | 10% | 70% | 150 to 285 pts |
- Each slot rolls a rarity, then picks an item from that rarity, where one-square items turn up three times as often as three-square items.
- The shop never shows something you already own. If you own everything in the rolled rarity, the slot moves to the nearest rarity that still has something new.
- Items with more squares cost more. Prices vary by up to 5% a day and round to the nearest 5.
- Sold items get a SOLD stamp until the next restock.
Closet and outfits
Everything you buy lives in the Closet. Your frog can wear one item in each of three spots: Eyes, Head and Drip. Wearing a new item in a spot swaps out the old one.
How the layers stack
1. Type2. Starter eyes
3. Head
4. Eye accessory
5. Drip- An eye accessory replaces your frog's starter eyes. Take it off and the starter eyes come back.
- Hats sit over starter eyes, and eye accessories sit over hats.
- While your frog sleeps, closed eyes replace whatever eyes it's wearing.
Photobooth
Open the Closet and tap Open photobooth to take a picture of your frog in whatever it's wearing. Every picture saves as a 1080 by 1080 PNG, a good size for a profile picture or a post.
Two kinds of picture
- Frog portrait: your frog on its lily pad. Pick a background: Pond, Night pond, G(RE:)EN, Black or White.
- With my re:gen: type your re:gen number (1 to 6666) and tap Look up. Your re:gen fills the picture and your frog sits on it as a little shoulder companion. Drag the frog to move it, use the size slider to make it bigger or smaller, and tick Flip frog to turn it around.
Banners
Add a banner along the top or bottom, in G(RE:)EN, black, white or your frog's rarity colour. Pick one of these or write your own (up to 18 letters):
GM, GN, WAGMI, FREG LIFE, RIBBIT!, your frog's name, its 1 IN N odds, RE:GENERATES, NOSTALGIA RE:LOADED
Saving
- Save picture downloads the PNG. On devices that support it, a Share button sends it straight to another app.
- The re:gen image is loaded from where the collection hosts it. If that host blocks it, the picture can't be saved and you'll see a message saying so. Take a screenshot instead.
- Taking pictures is free and doesn't change your frog's needs.
Every item
59 accessories: 22 common, 19 uncommon and 18 rare. Each card shows the chance it fills a regular shelf slot and its usual price.

Live pond
Every frog whose owner has fREgs open right now, wearing its outfit, bobbing on a lily pad.
- Tap the water to hop your frog there.
- Tap any frog to see its type, eyes, rarity, item count and best scores.
- From the card, send a Ribbit or a Heart, or Visit.
- You can watch without signing in. Bring your frog by signing in and naming it.
Ranks
Four leaderboards, top 25 each: best Fly Catch round, best Hop Across game, best Lily Stack round, and rarest frog, ranked by how rare its type and eyes combo is.
Gallery
Every named frog, newest first, with its rarity, odds and how many items it owns. Load more at the bottom.
Visits
Visit a frog to leave it a note. Their frog gets +12 fun and +6 tummy, and you get +3 points.
- Up to 10 visits a day, and one visit per frog per day.
- The notes are: GM, RIBBIT!, NICE FIT, CUTE FROG, HOP ON!, WAGMI, CROAK CROAK, <3.
- Visits reset at midnight UTC.
Pond goal
Every fly anyone catches in Fly Catch adds to one shared total for the day. Hit the target together and every player can claim 25 points once.
- The goal resets at midnight UTC. The countdown shows how long is left.
- Claim the bonus before the reset. It doesn't carry over.
Your account
- Release your frog (bottom of Home) sends it back to the pond for good. You lose your points, items and stats, and get a fresh egg with a new roll.
- Delete my account (bottom of Home) removes your sign-in and all of your game data for good.
- See the privacy policy and terms of service.
Fair play
- The server rolls hatches, keeps your points, stocks the shop and checks every purchase, so none of it can be faked.
- Game scores come from your device, so the server caps them by how long the round really ran: Fly Catch at 4 points a second plus 5 (150 max), Hop Across at 5 a second plus 10 (3,000 max), Lily Stack at 7 a second plus 10 (2,000 max).
- Cheating, bots and selling points or items for money are against the terms, and can get progress reset or an account removed.
Questions
- Can my frog die?
- No. Low needs only make it sad.
- Can I reroll a bad hatch?
- Only by releasing your frog, which also wipes your points and items.
- Why isn't an item in the shop?
- You may already own it, or it just didn't roll today. Rare items are about 10% of regular shelves and 70% of special ones.
- When does the shop restock?
- At midnight in your time zone. The pond goal and visits reset at midnight UTC.
- Can I trade or sell items?
- No. Points and items only exist inside the game and have no money value.
- Why was my score lower than I saw?
- If you ended a round very early or something looked off, the server capped it by round time.
- How do I save a picture of my frog?
- Open the Closet, tap Open photobooth, set it up and tap Save picture.
- Why won't my re:gen load in the photobooth?
- Check the number is between 1 and 6666 and that you're online, then try again.
- Can I play on my phone and my computer?
- Yes. Sign in the same way on both and your frog follows you.
Social
The Social tab is where everyone's frogs meet. It has four views, plus the daily pond goal at the top.
