The Scoop
The fun way to move more.
A little mate who lives on your Apple Watch. He's mad about birds, and your steps pay for his seeds and film, so the more you walk, the more birds turn up in his garden.
Walk, and the birds come.
Every coin he spends on seeds is a reason for a lorikeet to visit. Every roll of film is another shot at it.
You walk. Even the fridge run counts.
He shops. Seeds and film, mostly.
The garden grows. Natives only.
Birds drop by. Get the shot.
Then, the world. New birds, new things.
The fridge run counts.
Your steps go into his little step ATM, and it counts them out as coins. It's weirdly satisfying.
Plant it, and they'll come.
Pip's shop sells native seeds. Put a banksia in and wait to see who shows up.
"A wattlebird! The banksia worked!"
You get one shot.
A lorikeet lands on the fence. You've got a second or two to frame it before it's off again.
No two homes end up the same.
Put anything anywhere. Pick the walls, the floor and every piece in between. Collect rare items that exude your personality!
Pip sells what your place is missing.
New furniture turns up every day. Buy a piece, then carry it round the room until it looks right.
"It's in your drawer at home. Pop it anywhere!"
Then he packs a bag.
Gus at the airport desk sends him off. There's a show on the seat-back screen and peanuts on the way.
Overseas, the locals trade.
Nothing over there has a price. Offer something from home that's worth about the same, and haggle if they're not sure.
"Deal, deal, deal. Your bed from the bedroom for my bento box?"
He's also got a day job.
He works at The Crumb, the local paper. Three games, played out loud with your real voice, and they all pay coins.
The Big Pitch
Polish your improv skills and present out loud to a deck you haven't seen before.
Lost for Words
Work the lost-property desk and reunite people with the words they've lost. Assiduous, anyone?
He talks back. He remembers.
Hold the mic and tell him about your day. He answers in his own words and remembers the people you mention.
He sleeps when you do.
Around your bedtime he heads off to bed. Tap him and he'll mumble something, then roll over.
Questions
Which watch?
Any Apple Watch that runs watchOS 26. It's a watch app, and TestFlight installs it from your iPhone.
Is it free?
Yes. Every part of the game is free to play. If you want coins faster you can buy them in the app, but you never have to.
Who's it for?
Grown-ups. He's powered by AI models, so Bimble is designed for ages 18 and up.
Do I have to walk to play?
That's the idea. Your steps turn into coins, so the walk to the shops pays for his seeds and film. If you'd rather not share your steps, you still get 40 coins a day, though most people will earn a lot more by walking. You can also buy coins in the app if you like.
What does it read from Health?
Your steps, sleep and workouts, read on the watch. It only reads, and never writes anything back. When you talk to him, today's step count and a line about how you slept go along with your message so he can answer.
What happens to what I say?
Bimble uses AI cloud services to understand you and write his replies. Bimble keeps neither the recording nor the words you say. His memories are saved on your watch and in your own private iCloud. The privacy page has the rest.
