Animla is developed by Vincent Wretling, a passionate quiz and trivia game enthusiast. In 2017, he created the board game 'Lista Rätt', nominated for Board Game of the Year in Sweden and later released in Norway and Finland. With Animla, he aims to provide a stimulating daily challenge—a fun and puzzling break that also serves as an engaging journey into the fascinating world of animals!
Your goal is to guess the secret animal of the day in 10 tries or less. With every guess, you'll get clues based on different attributes. Use the hints from tiles like Closest Relative, Conservation Status, Lifestyle, Habitat, as well as Length and Weight to get closer to the truth. The tile colors (Correct, Close, Wrong) and the size arrows (↑/↓) will guide you to the correct answer!
Yes, Animla is completely free to play. The goal is to make learning about the animal kingdom fun and accessible to everyone.
A new mystery animal is released every day at midnight (CET). This applies to both Normal and Expert mode, so there's always a new challenge waiting for you.
Animla stands out from other quiz games in several ways. The carefully designed game mechanics, with multiple unique attributes and nuanced feedback, create a rich and engaging experience compared to simpler 'right or wrong' clues. The game is also based on a treasure trove of real zoological data—you get clues based on the animal's actual place in the evolutionary tree (taxonomy), its conservation status according to the IUCN, its habitat, and much more. The fact that both living and extinct animals are included in the large database of over 800 animals is another unique detail that creates a compelling gameplay loop.
The database currently features over 800 animals, which creates great variety in the game. Furthermore, the database is continuously expanding!
Animla covers a vast breadth of the animal kingdom! You'll encounter everything from common mammals and birds to more obscure insects, deep-sea creatures, and even extinct giants like dinosaurs and mammoths. Both living and extinct species are represented.

The animal of the day is selected from a carefully curated list to ensure a good variation of difficulty and animal types. So while you never know what's coming next, the sequence is designed to make every day a new and exciting challenge.
Animla is carefully designed to work perfectly whether you play on your mobile, tablet, or computer. This way, you always have access to Animla and can play in the way that suits you best!
In Normal mode, the animal of the day is chosen from a list of more well-known species, though it still offers a great challenge! In Expert mode, the difficulty is significantly increased as the selection is made from the entire database—including the rarest and most obscure species. This is a true test for the most dedicated animal enthusiast.
Since Animla features both a Normal and an Expert mode, you can play twice every day. Twice the fun, in other words!
You build a streak by correctly guessing the secret animal for several days in a row. How many consecutive days can you manage?!

The combination of a daily ritual, clever puzzling, and the satisfying feeling of cracking the code is why Animla is often called the Wordle for the animal kingdom.
