01
Scan the world
Open your camera. Point it at anywhere a tiny weirdo might be hiding — under the desk, behind the trash can, halfway up a tree. Yes, really.
Gen 1 • Monster Catching App
The camera-first monster catching app.
Snap any real-world scene. An AI puts a Gen 1 monster into your photo. 197 to catch — across Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary tiers — plus 3 Secrets hidden until someone finds them.
How the hunt works
Snap a photo. Catch a monster. Keep the card.
Three steps. The hard part is finding new places to look — and there are A LOT of places.
02
Catch what's hiding
Tap the shutter. Whatever monster is lurking in your shot gets locked in. Nobody else will ever catch the exact same one.
03
Build your Dex
Every catch adds a full-art card to your Dex — rarity, stats, lore, the works. 197 are out there. Some are very normal. A few are deeply weird.
Browse the Gen 1 Dex
197 monsters. Pick one and start hunting.
Every Gen 1 monster has a card, a dex entry, and a habitat hint. Browse by rarity to plan your next catch — or jump straight into the full Monster Dex.
The world is your hunting ground
Hunt monsters by going places.
Same room every day = same dry results. The good monsters live in the in-between spots — the library shelf, your grandma's garden, the weird hallway at school. Take MonsterCam everywhere.
🗺️
Anywhere counts
Yes, your kitchen counts. So does the bookshelf, the elevator, the cereal aisle, the back of the school bus. The "where" is the whole game.
❄️
No two catches match
Snap the same scene as your friend? You both get totally different monsters. Your photo, your monster. Forever.
🌀
Some are deeply cursed
Don't worry — only in a fun way. Brimblesnoot. Fuzznugget. A 99-bravery cosmic baby. They're out there. They are real (in the camera).

Stuff people ask
Common questions.
Who's it for?
Mostly kids and the kid-adjacent. MonsterCam is for ages 13 and up. Younger trainers are welcome with a parent or guardian along for the hunt.
Are the monsters real?
They are profoundly real (in the camera). Each one is unique to your photo — no two trainers will ever catch the same Glompch.
Do you share our photos?
No. Your photos are completely private — we don't sell them, share them, post them, or hand them off to anyone. They're used to find your monster and that's it.
Will I really catch all 197?
Maybe! But you'll have to actually go places. Same spots run dry — the rare ones live where you don't usually look.
