Back in November we announced our partnership with Just to create a new cosy space where Critter Café players could earn real-money rewards for sharing their creativity, ideas and knowledge. Since then we’ve received some amazing contributions via Just About Critter Café from crocheted critters to promotional posters, with more rewards still receiving entries. These wonderful winners for the 'Create a new accessory' reward really caught our eye. Never have we wanted a goblin headband more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45051973/5f222276f4ecc40ad75240fc1cc3db33232cc26f.png Rewards are still running includ

Your magical journey in Critter Café begins – and centres around – your very own café. This lot of land on Gold Leaf Isle has potential, but needs plenty of TLC to turn it into a beautiful place to enjoy treats and tipples. From the very start of Critter Café, you’ll have the chance to design the café in your own image – and the more you play and progress, the more options for customisation and beautification you’ll discover. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45051973/2f3839573f9f9d8820c25d9eb2498a6476a96764.jpg Furniture will be critical to your café’s layout, as you provide customers with comfy and cosy pl

Rescuing Critters is a rewarding challenge in Critter Café, deciphering puzzle-filled portals to discover a friend in need. This, though, is just the beginning of your story with a Critter! Once you’ve completed a rescue, you should head on over to Critter Café’s Habitat to meet up with your new pal. The Habitat is where all your Critters reside. You can explore it to find your favourites, or use the bell by the entrance to call them to you. This is where you’ll see who is available to assist in your Café for the next shift. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45051973/5337480829418accd745efd71f23e4bd002481f8.
