The Life of a Pet

At 8:02 AM the garage door rolls shut. The family is gone until five. That's when the pets' real day begins.

In the game

One house, five lives

Every pet plays differently: sniff and sneak, climb and pounce, swim, roll, fly and sing. Click any picture to see it full size.

Five pets, five stories

It's Junie's ninth birthday, and it's been the worst week of her life: her stuffed rabbit and her lucky marble are both gone. Kiwi the parrot has a plan. By five o'clock, the pets will pull off the best surprise the house has ever seen. The humans can never know.

  • Biscuit the beagle: top-down exploring. Sniff out scent trails, bark the squirrels out of the yard, and sneak past Sweepy the robot vacuum.
  • Mochi the cat: platforming. Knock things off the counters, chase the dancing sunbeam, and climb the giant bookcase.
  • Bubbles the goldfish: swimming. Eat the flake storm, hide from Mochi's paw, and brave the "Big Blue" of the bathtub.
  • Pip the hamster: rhythm and rolling. Power up on the wheel, then roll a hamster ball through the house on a candle heist.
  • Kiwi the parrot: flight and sound. Mimic the house's noises, fly the gauntlet of ceiling fans, and lead Junie's song.
  • Five O'Clock: the finale. The car is early. Switch between every pet to set up the surprise and get back in place before the door opens.
