With so many little critters running around Friendship Island, a guide is a must! Critters can be found in every area, each with their own tags and time of day preferences. Learn where to find each critter, where to donate them, and which island residents appreciate the gift of a critter more than others here.

I found a lot of joy in Hello Kitty Island Adventure when I first started playing its closed beta for IGN’s guide, way back before it hit Apple Arcade in 2023. Getting to create my own little Sanrio character and run around a tropical island collecting bits and bobs to gift to my new animal friends was pretty relaxing and fun.
