So The Art of Fauna, a puzzle game that lots of people seem to like (especially the ones who like nature stuff), has now come up with a new feature they call “Friends of Fauna.” It’s part of the newest update and it's making the whole thing more interactive than before, kind of like a shared experience not just puzzles for yourself.
People Now Can Join Together with Friends
With Friends of Fauna, players are now allowed to link up with other players who also enjoy the game and, like, nature in general. You can see what they’re doing, how far they are in the puzzles, and maybe even talk about the animals you discovering. This isn’t something that was there before, so it sort of make things feel more like a community now. There are even shared challenges, though some people might still prefer playing alone.
Options Are More Open Than Before
The developers already were putting lots of care into accessibility, and now it’s even more flexible. For instance, players get to pick either text puzzles or picture puzzles, depending on what they like. There are also features for those with dyslexia or people who don’t want to see certain kinds of images, like predators eating or endangered species stuff. All those things are still there, but works smoother now.
In connection with Earth Day, they added a new puzzle collection called “Echoes of Extinction.” This includes animals like the dodo or thylacine, who are not alive anymore. The drawings are made in a really old-school style and give information that’s historical and educational too. Playing these can be a little emotional for some people, but that’s probably the point—it reminds us of what’s lost.

Supporting Real-Life Wildlife Too
Also, some money from people buying puzzle packs go toward actual conservation groups. Not all apps do this kind of thing, so it’s kind of nice to see that a puzzle game is doing something helpful in the real world too. They didn’t say which groups exactly, but it's a good effort.
How to Play It Right Now
The Art of Fauna is out for iOS devices like iPhones and iPads. You can play the first 10 puzzles without paying anything, but after that, you need to buy the rest. The Friends of Fauna part and that extinction-themed pack are included in the latest update, which is live already.
If you haven’t tried it, maybe now’s a good time to check it out and maybe even meet someone who loves owls as much as you do.
