The wave of tap-to-earn games on Telegram that caused a sensation last year has cooled down, but a new game with a completely different gameplay is now attracting a large number of users.
Zoo is the name that is causing a stir on this messaging platform, bringing a FarmVille-like experience to the Telegram game world, with the promise of token rewards for players. In the game, players will build a zoo, gradually filling it with various animal species, from which they can generate in-game income - and potentially, this money may be converted into on-chain tokens when the Airdrop takes place.
In addition to caring for the zoo, players can also solve puzzles, complete daily challenges, or connect with other player groups. However, Zoo is still an idle game - a game genre where players can progress and achieve goals without having to perform continuous actions or constantly interact with the game.
Although Zoo on Telegram does not have too many new features, with the prospect of an upcoming token Airdrop, it is still an entertaining experience worth trying. Here are all the details users need to know about Zoo.
Zoo is the latest game on Telegram, seen as a variant of the tap-to-earn games that dominated this platform in 2024. Instead of constantly tapping on a random object, players will build a zoo with rare animal species. These animals generate passive income as long as they are fed properly.
This game is a combination of FarmVille and Zoo Tycoon, where players will choose a plot of land to build new enclosures and then watch the cash flow in as visitors flock to their zoo.
Although not the most complex game, Zoo has successfully attracted a large number of players thanks to its novel idea. In the past few weeks, over 14 million accounts have interacted with this app, and the number is still growing.
Zoo has also entered the final stage of the "mining phase", allowing players to earn tokens to participate in the upcoming Airdrop. While there is not much detailed information about the Airdrop mechanism yet, the mining phase will end on January 31st. If you want to try your hand at Zoo, join now before it's too late.
To get started, players need to log in to Telegram and open the mini Zoo app, which will guide them through the initial steps to set up their zoo.
First, players need to tap on an empty plot on the map and purchase an animal enclosure to place there. Once they have at least one animal, players will start earning Zoo tokens in the game, which according to the developers will correspond 1:1 with the on-chain tokens in the upcoming Airdrop. We can buy more animals to increase our hourly income, with more expensive animal species providing more tokens.
These animals will automatically earn tokens as long as we feed them by tapping the Feeding button. However, this will consume Animal Feed - another in-game currency also used to purchase new animals. Therefore, make sure not to spend all the money on adding more animals without having enough feed to sustain them.
This is the core of the game, but players will spend most of their time trying to earn more Animal Feed, as this currency is not automatically replenished. We should claim daily login rewards and complete tasks like solving puzzles or performing social actions to ensure we have enough Animal Feed to keep the animals happy - and maintain a steady flow of income into the zoo.
The publisher has not yet announced the specific timing for the upcoming ZOO token Airdrop, but the mining phase is expected to end on January 31st.
After this month, players may no longer be able to earn additional Zoo tokens in the game, meaning the amount of tokens to be Airdropped will be fixed based on the amount of Zoo tokens they hold. For example, if a player ends the month with one million Zoo tokens in the game, they will receive one million ZOO tokens from the Airdrop.
The Zoo tokens are likely to be launched on The Open Network (TON), as users can connect their TON wallets and use TON to purchase some in-game items, such as Animal Feed packs. The developers have not yet confirmed that ZOO will be launched on TON, and we have seen games on Telegram change ecosystems not long before their Airdrop, but currently TON is the most feasible option.
