It hatches the second you press a button
A pocket-sized egg with a monochrome screen and four buttons. Feed it, play with it, switch the light off at night, clean up after it. Look after it properly and it grows up differently than if you leave it alone.
Nothing extra, exactly like back then
A hundred and sixty-eight creatures
That is how many your pet can turn into. Which one you get depends on how you looked after it, so two people with the same shell rarely end up with the same animal.
A real LCD
Monochrome dot matrix, the same kind that ran these toys in the nineties. No colour, no app, no account to create.
Four buttons, no words
SELECT, DECIDE, CANCEL, RESET. The menu is icons only — food, play, light, cleaning — so it works in any language.
Lives on your keys
Six centimetres tall, thirty-three grams, keychain ring already attached. Light enough that you forget it is there until it starts beeping at you.
This is the whole interface
Four buttons, five icons, no words anywhere. Press them here and the pet responds exactly the way it will in your hand.
How it works
It hatches
Put the battery in and the egg on screen cracks open. Out comes something small, pixelated and extremely demanding.
It needs you
Feed it, play with it, switch the light off at night, clean up after it. Skip a few of those and it will let you know about it.
It grows up
How your pet turns out depends on how you looked after it. Neglect it and you raise something quite different from what a careful owner ends up with.

What people ask
How long does delivery take?
Free everywhere we ship, tracked the whole way. Your tracking number arrives by email as soon as the parcel moves. Expect it in 7 to 14 business days — two to three weeks door to door.
Where does it ship from?
Straight from our supplier in Asia to your door. That is why it takes two to three weeks and why it costs you nothing — we are not paying to warehouse anything in between. Depending on your country, a customs charge is possible on arrival.
Is this an original Tamagotchi?
No. Tamagotchi is a trademark of Bandai. PIXPET is its own toy in the same genre — a virtual pet on a monochrome screen, four buttons, one keychain ring.
Is the menu in English?
There is no text in the menu at all — only icons: food, play, light, clean, health. A six-year-old works it out in a minute.
Does it come with a battery?
It runs on a button cell — the flat round kind sold in every corner shop for pocket change. One is usually fitted at the factory, but we would rather not promise it, so grab a spare if you want to be certain of playing the day it lands.
How is it packaged?
In a padded bubble bag, not a printed retail box. It keeps the postage free and the toy arrives just as protected — but if you were planning to give it as a gift straight from the envelope, wrap it yourself.
What happens when the battery dies?
Swapping it takes a minute. Your progress resets when you do, which means the egg hatches again and you get another go at raising something different.
Can I return it?
Yes — 14 days from delivery to return or exchange it, no explanation needed. It arrives in a padded bag rather than a box, so just send it back in anything that protects it in the post.
