Games like Adopt Me for pet lovers
On Roblox, Pet Simulator 99 is the other giant pet game, with eggs to hatch and pets to trade. Off Roblox, Animal Jam is an animal world built for kids, and My Talking Tom is the simple phone pet to look after.
What Adopt Me! is
Adopt Me! is a Roblox game that launched in July 2017. The team behind it later formed Uplift Games to keep running it. Players hatch pets from eggs, raise them to full grown, decorate homes and trade pets with each other. It is one of the most visited Roblox games ever.
The main hook is trading. Rare pets become something to collect, show off and swap.

Notes for parents
Trading is the part to watch. Scams happen when kids trade with strangers, so agree on a simple rule, like trading only with friends they know in real life.
Check the Roblox parental controls for chat and spending before they start. Pet games sell eggs and rare pets, and a spending limit saves a lot of arguments.
