Blotkins

Drop ink. Fold the page. Meet something new.

The ink-fold game for your phone and tablet. Drop ink on a page, fold it, press it, open it – and something blinks at you. Every creature is one of a kind, with its own name, its own kind, and a small life of its own.

How it works

Three moves. One stranger.

  1. 1
    Drop ink. Touch and hold, the bead grows. Drag, the nib writes. Tap, it splashes.
  2. 2
    Fold. Fold the page over and press it – lay your phone face down on the table, pull the corner on a tablet, or, on a folding phone, simply close it. The longer you press, the wider the ink bleeds.
  3. 3
    Open. A mirror image. Then a little wizard flies over, reads the shape, adds a tail here, two ears there – and the eyes open.

Try it right here

Fold one now.

Pick your device, drop ink on the left half, press the page the way that phone would, open it. The wizard does the rest.

pressing…

Touch the left half. Hold, drag or tap.

Every one is one of a kind

You never get the same twice.

The shape of your blot decides what it becomes – owl, bat, crab, jellyfish, dragon, twenty-one kinds. Then it gets a name, a species built from its own features, and a line from its field guide. Millions of combinations. Yours.

On every phone

Your phone is the press.

On any iPhone you lay the phone face down on the table – that's the press. Hold it there and the ink bleeds; lift it and the page peels open. On iPad you fold the corner with your finger. Same ink, same wizard, same surprise.

And on a folding phone like iPhone Duo, you simply close it. Blotkins reads the hinge: snap it shut for splashes, close it slowly for a soft bleed. While it's shut, the outer display shows the ink blooming through the paper with a heartbeat you can feel.

And then

Small things that make it yours.

Wake-up clip

Six seconds of fold, open, wizard, blink – rendered as a vertical video with sound, ready for Reels, TikTok and iMessage.

For someone

Fold one for a friend. Their name goes on the card and in the clip: for Lisa.

Merge two

Put two creatures on one page and fold again. The child carries half of each name, a habit from one parent, a fear from the other.

Stickers

Every creature you keep becomes an iMessage sticker. They travel.

Widget
