Waifuchan: a tamagotchi in your browser

Waifuchan is the site mascot you look after: feeding her, lifting her mood, putting her to bed and playing together. Her state lives on the server and keeps changing in real time even with the tab closed — so neglect has consequences, up to and including death. Inside there are eight minigames built on the catalogue plus the Shikaku puzzle with its own ranks, seasons and leaderboards.

What kind of game it is

A small game about a relationship rather than a grind: it asks for short visits, but regular ones.

The state lives on the server Hunger, mood and energy change by real clock hours, and minigame results are validated server-side, so they cannot be faked.

The room runs on Moscow time Morning, day and night actually change, and some events and sleep are tied to the time of day.

You play with the cards you collect The quizzes and memory use real characters and cards from the site — the same ones sitting in the sets and in your own collection. The better you know the cards, the more often you win.

It can live on your phone Add the game to your home screen like a normal app: it opens from its own icon, with no tabs or address bar on top.

Care: four gauges and sleep

You watch over Waifuchan through her gauges, and almost everything is fixed with attention rather than coins.

Hunger Drops fastest of all. Below 20 it drains energy half again as fast; at zero, twice as fast.

Mood Runs on attention: petting allows up to a hundred taps a day and lifts mood almost to the cap. Now and then a few coins turn up along the way.

Energy Spent on everything: packs, cooking, minigames, a Shikaku round, a date. It refills during sleep, so bedtime is not a formality.

Withdrawal Builds up on its own and spoils her mood. Opening a pack relieves it — and it accumulates half as fast while she sleeps.

Sleep You can put her to bed at 70 energy or below: too lively and she refuses. That is deliberate, so the game does not collapse into "feed, sleep, repeat".

Stay away long enough and Waifuchan grows sad and can die — that is the design. After death there are two routes: start a new life for free, or revive her for 1,000 ₩ of site currency, losing a tenth of her experience and taking a day of debuff. A long absence is forgiven: it has its own grace window.

Minigames

Eight of them, and each costs energy — time is the stake here, not an endless button.

Character quiz Guess the character from a portrait. Questions come from the site database; full rewards up to ten times a day.

Card quiz and memory Both are played with real cards from the sets: one tests catalogue knowledge, the other memory.

Cooking, walks, fishing Short games of reflex and luck. On a walk something turns up in about a third of the rounds; fishing yields anything from small fry to a gold coin.

Open a pack Costs coins and relieves withdrawal. Roughly one pack in twenty is a "limited" one: a hundred coins on top and withdrawal resets to zero.

A date Once a day and only in good spirits: it needs both energy in reserve and mood no lower than a third.

Repeats hit diminishing returns: the tenth round in a row of the same game pays noticeably less than the first. The game does not punish enthusiasm, but it will not let itself become a farm either.

Shikaku — the puzzle inside the game

A Japanese dissection puzzle: split the grid into rectangles so that each holds exactly one clue and that clue equals its area. Inside Waifuchan it is a discipline of its own, with ranks and seasons.

Five difficulty presets From an easy 5×6 grid to a nightmare 11×14 — that is 154 cells against 30. The higher the preset, the more coins and XP a round pays.

Three rounds per three hours Rounds are limited by a rolling window. You can buy the wait away with coins, but the price doubles with every reset in a row — which is exactly why Shikaku stays a treat rather than background noise.

The reward is for speed, not for showing up The base reward of a preset is multiplied by how fast you solved that level compared with everyone else. Solve it and you always get something.

Twenty-one ranks and prestige From Novice to Phenomenon, and beyond that prestige steps — Phenomenon II, III and so on, with no ceiling.

Seasons by calendar month Every month the ladder resets and the top ten are paid in coins; those outside the ten who cleared a minimum of XP get a consolation prize.

A level is defined by a seed One seed string means the same level for everyone. That is why each seed has its own best-time leaderboard, and presets have a shared one — weekly and all-time.

The Shikaku top right now

The leaders by accumulated puzzle experience. The list is live and updates along with the game.

#	Player	Rank	XP	Solved
1	BlackCurrant322	Феномен II	38,610	878
2	eReSKa	Легенда	22,648	501
3	Sunshine	Корифей	14,872	413
4	wolfram	Гранд-мастер	13,385	336
5	_UnLuck1_	Гранд-мастер	12,270	285

Catching the top line is harder than it looks: XP comes from speed on the high presets, and only three rounds are available per three hours.

Waifuchan coins

The game has its own currency, and it does not mix with the site WaifuCoins.

Where they come from Daily logins, weekly and monthly streaks, minigames, finds on walks and Shikaku rewards. An active day brings a couple of hundred coins.

Where they go Food, packs, room cosmetics and buying away the Shikaku wait. Big cosmetics cost weeks of play — deliberately so.

The link to the site Exactly one: reviving a dead Waifuchan costs 1,000 site WaifuCoins. Exchanging game coins for ₩ or back is not possible.

Common questions

Where do I play?

The game opens at /my-waifuchan and works on phones and desktops. Progress is tied to your WaifuCards account.

Can she really die?

Yes, from prolonged hunger or neglected withdrawal — but not instantly: both states have a grace period, and a long absence is forgiven separately. After death you can start a new life for free or revive the old one for 1,000 ₩.

Can I move game coins into WaifuCoins?

No. They are separate currencies with no exchange in either direction.

What is Shikaku and why is it in a tamagotchi?

It is a logic puzzle about cutting a grid into rectangles. In the game it provides what care cannot — competition: ranks, monthly seasons and leaderboards for every level.

Can results be faked?

No: rounds are issued and verified on the server, and impossibly fast solutions are rejected by timing. The leaderboard is genuine.
