At its heart is Wapuu – the unofficial mascot of WordPress. Your personal Wapuu avatar greets you on the dashboard in the lower right corner of your screen and accompanies you on your WordPress journey. ### Customize Your Wapuu With a continuously growing selection of items, you can customize your Wapuu to suit your style. From clothing to hats, shoes, and other accessories – style your Wapuu just the way you like! However, these items aren’t available right away. To unlock them, you’ll need the plugin’s in-game currency: _Pearls_. ### Earn Pearls and Expand Your Knowledge Earning Pearls is all about fun! You can collect them by completing exciting missions or by taking on special tasks that support you in your WordPress journey. Not only will you unlock new items, but you’ll also expand your WordPress knowledge – step by step, at your own pace. Every discovery becomes a small victory! ### Learn WordPress in a Fun Way WapuuGotchi also offers a comprehensive tour of your WordPress installation. Let your Wapuu guide you through key areas and discover valuable tips on topics like security, performance, SEO, and more. This way, you’ll gradually become a true WordPress expert – without it ever feeling like work. ### Try It Out Without Installing! You don’t even need to install the plugin to give it a try!

I’d recomment it to anyone that loves anime/digital pet era. Will u be adding an update to make the Wapuugotchi appear in more places than the bottom right dashboard? I wouldn’t mind it hovering in the bottom everywhere in the admin, as I want to see more of the Wapuugotchi. This is a huge feature request. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9163651ad4e8fe57f450e03b0fa7721efa775bbc860d177406ad63aa5e3c5ce9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love it!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-4197/)󠁿 [Jhimross Olinares](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jhimross/) July 16, 2024 WapuuGotchi is a fantastic plugin for adding a fun, interactive Wapuu to your WordPress site. I love the gamification features, like quests and collecting tokens (pearl balance). ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/618371816545c570449966418d376155b3e96cada80af2c51015cc36253024db? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Cute, fun, professional](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cute-fun-professional/)󠁿 [Billy Wilcosky](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wilcosky/) December 22, 2023 This is amazing. It gives you something a little extra to interact with on your blog. It’s also very well done… it looks professional. It’s like a feature you might have in a popular smartphone app. It’s not everyday we get something like this, for free, in the WordPress community. This may not be on the roadmap, which is cool, but if this one day worked on the frontend, for a membership type of site, that would be next level. It would be a great alternative to other gamification plugins. Add the ability for members to purchase pearls, and 🤯. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/55be13f44d2f6b002041de75a3981568cfc3842eaa7a07e6a42f980539c129f3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Kawaii](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/kawaii-2/)󠁿 [Matthias Pfefferle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pfefferle/) November 21, 2023 かわいい!!!
