Choose a personality, share a story or start a game. iPhone and Android use different controls; follow the instructions for your phone below.

- Fancy Aristocrat
- Grumpy Retiree
- Overdramatic Shakespearean

## Stories to hear, read and steer

On iPhone, open **Stories**. On Android, open **Stories & Play**. Choose **Tell Me a Story**, **Short Story**, **Long Story**, **Bedtime Story** or **Interactive Adventure**. In an interactive adventure, answer the character’s prompts or tap a choice to steer the story.

**On iPhone:** choose **Custom story** from 1–10 minutes, then **Start Custom Story**. Choose **Read Story — text mode** to read instead of listen, or **Read from here** during a story. In text mode, use **Play from beginning**, or choose **Part to play** and **Play from selected part**.

Use **Pause**, **Resume — replay interrupted part**, **Repeat last part** and **Quit activity**. **Completed parts** lets you revisit the text. For an unfinished saved activity, choose **Resume saved activity** or **Start New — replace this unfinished activity**.

**On Android:** request a story with the length in your spoken or typed request, such as “Tell me a story for 5 minutes.” Custom requests support 1–10 minutes. Use **Pause**, **Resume** and **Quit**. Choose **Read Story / text mode** to read, or **Hear from the displayed boundary** to switch back to speech. Say “repeat” to hear the latest part again. Completed stories offer **Read completed story**, **Play completed story** and **Save Story text**.

Lengths are approximate and vary with speech and interaction. With a camera picture, ask for a fictional story inspired by what it shows. On iPhone the mode is **Story From What You See**, with **Tell a fictional story about this picture** in camera games. Android offers **Tell a Story About This**. See [Camera guidance](camera-status.html).

## Ten activities in Fun & Fortune

On iPhone, open **Fun & Fortune**; on Android, choose an activity in **Stories & Play**:

- **Horoscope** — a playful reading for a chosen sign.
- **Fortune Teller** — a pretend glimpse into the future.
- **Paw Tarot** — a fictional card-style reading.
- **Daily Pet Wisdom** — a pet-sized thought for the day.
- **Dream Interpreter** — an imaginative response to your dream.
- **Pet Court** — let your character hear a playful dispute.
- **Would You Rather?** — choose between the offered options.
- **Tiny Quests** — try an optional indoor activity, then confirm completion or skip it.
- **Hype Me Up** — ask for encouragement.
- **Gentle Roast** — invite some light teasing.

Use the offered choices or type **Your answer** when prompted. Submit with **Submit answer** on iPhone or **Send answer** on Android. Readings are fiction, not predictions. Use **Keep this activity clean** to keep that session free of adult language.

## Five games

Open **Games** and choose **Snack Heist**, **Who Stole My Spot?**, **Sound Trail**, **Tiny Detective** or **Treasure Trail**. Follow the displayed rules, tap a choice or say its full name.

For a clue, use **Give me a hint** on iPhone or **Hint** on Android. Both offer **Hear this turn again**, **Pause game** and **Resume game**. If the controls are unavailable, finish the current reply or stop music first.

## Six camera games

A connected camera is required. On iPhone, open **Camera Games**; on Android, choose a camera game in **Stories & Play**:

- **I Spy** — guess an object from the picture.
- **Find a Match** — look for the requested match.
- **What Changed?** — compare pictures after changing an object.
- **Memory Tray** — remember the objects before the picture hides.
- **Odd One Out** — pick the object that does not belong.
- **Scene Detective** — follow clues from the picture.

Each round uses a captured picture; moving the camera does not change the target. Recognition can be mistaken, so repair the picture or skip a round if the description is wrong.

**On iPhone:** choose **Take Picture / Check This** when prompted. Use **That is not there — repair picture**, **Hint**, **Skip round**, **Pause camera game**, **Resume camera game** or **Quit camera game** as needed. In Memory Tray, **Untimed picture** lets you study longer, **Ready — hide picture** begins your answer and **Replay Picture — practice scoring** lets you practice again.

**On Android:** use **Capture / check this**, **Hint**, **Ready** and **Replay Picture · practice** when offered. Use **Pause**, **Resume** and **Quit** for the activity. You can say “skip” to skip a round or “that is not there” to repair a mistaken picture. Submit a typed response with **Send answer**, or use **Speak answer**. Memory Tray waits for **Ready** before hiding the picture.

These are games rather than a reliable assessment of your surroundings.
