About MicroQuest: Collect Microbes
Shrink down with Leo and Clara to micro-size and dive into a water drop full of life! In MicroQuest, kids discover the tiny world of microbes – lovingly illustrated, explained in a child-friendly way, and fully voiced. How exploring becomes an adventure: COLLECT Move your microscope through pond, sea, skin, yogurt, soil and more. 30 real microbes are waiting to be discovered – from the paramecium to the tardigrade. Some are common, others rare or even legendary. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY Find of the Day shows you a special creature every day – catch it to earn bonus food for your station. And very rarely, a glowing variant appears, easy to spot by its golden sparkle. Can you find one? RESEARCH STATION Caught microbes move into your own petri dish. Feed them, raise them, pet them – and some even have offspring! EVERYTHING READ ALOUD Every microbe tells its story with its own voice. Perfect for kids who can't read yet. Leo and Clara guide you through the whole game. DISCOVER & MARVEL How big is a microbe really? Where does it live? What can it do? Size comparisons, profiles and fun facts make invisible life easy to grasp. FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND IPHONE DUO On iPhone Duo, MicroQuest uses the big inner display and adapts as you open, close or half-fold your device – half-folded, the research station becomes a lab bench. MADE FOR PARENTS No ads. No trackers. No subscriptions. MicroQuest collects no data. Purchases are protected by a parental gate. Level 1 is completely free to play. With a single one-time purchase you unlock all worlds and microbes forever – no recurring costs. Perfect for curious kids ages 5 to 8.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated October 19, 2026
Ready for iPhone Duo: MicroQuest uses the big inner display and adapts as you open, close or half-fold your device – the research station turns into a lab bench. Fold it a little while catching and the microscope sharpens its focus. New for everyone: - Find of the Day: a special creature every day – catch it for bonus food for your station. - Glowing variants: very rarely, a creature appears in gold. Can you find one? - Faster, smaller (almost half the size) and gentler: motion follows "Reduce Motion". - Lots of small improvements.
