Yummy Yummy Monster Tummy requires a free app, which you can download from Apple's App Store or Google Play (currently requires Android 5 or newer, iOS 11.0 or newer, may change in the future). You only need the app installed on one phone or tablet to play. It is not possible to play without the app. Once downloaded, the app will not require an internet connection during gameplay. The language can be changed within the application.
Game Modes
You can play Yummy Yummy Monster Tummy in either Story Mode or Party Mode.
In Story Mode, there are 12 levels waiting for you. You will follow the story and unlock new Locations and Items by completing levels. On higher levels, you will also meet new Creatures. Some of them have exciting special abilities that provide additional fun challenges!
In Party Mode, you can play a single game session using all of the Items you have unlocked so far. This allows you to experience the game without worrying about the story.

Item Card Anatomy
Each Item card shows:
- Item color — the card's color, shown by paint splatters at the top of the card.
- Vitamin symbol — a marble-like icon showing whether the item contains vitamins.
- Location icon — a small icon showing which card pack (Location) the item belongs to.
- Item name — the name of the item printed at the bottom of the card.
Gameplay
Each level consists of several Creatures that you must feed. Once a Creature opens its mouth, it's ready for you to feed it!
To feed a Creature
In any order, each player chooses one Item card from their hand to feed to the Creature by scanning the card's QR code, which is located on the back of the card.
You can tell other players the color and ability of the card you want to play, but you may never show them your cards... ever! Talk with each other to determine a good player order for feeding the Creature! And remember: once you have scanned your card, you may not change your mind!
After each player has scanned an Item card, they discard it face-up next to the device.
If you scan an Item with a special ability, it triggers right away!
If you want to check the details of a card ability, please tap Abilities in the Settings in the app to learn more about it.
After all players have scanned an Item card
The app will let you know if you have fed the Creature a mix of colored items that make it happy and full; if you did, each player will draw one card from the deck. Then, you may proceed to the next Creature as instructed by the app.
When feeding a Monster, you must feed it Item cards that combine and mix into a color that is similar to the Monster's fur color. (Monsters like to eat items that match their fur's color; see 'Creature Types' below for more details.) If you feed a Monster a mix of Items that does not result in a mixed color that is similar to their fur color, all players lose the game and must start the level over again.
Example: A purple monster approached the players in the attic... and he was hungry! Mila fed them a blue Blueberry, Noah fed some greenish Undies, and Liam added a red Sled to the mix! The mixture of these three items creates a color very close to purple, which is just what this purple-furred Monster wanted; they pass the level!
Too Difficult or Too Easy?
You can always tap on the Settings to change the level of difficulty! We suggest starting with medium difficulty. If you choose easy, it will be easier to feed a mix of Items that satisfies the Creature, giving them what they want; if you choose hard, it will be more difficult.
Creature Types
You will encounter various funny Creatures on this journey, such as Monsters, Rabbits, and more! For your first game, you only need to know about two of these Creature types:
Monsters like to eat things with the same color as their fur, and they hate vitamins!
If you feed a Monster an Item with vitamins (of any color), it will trigger the Vitamin Alarm!
Vitamin Alarm: For the next 3 cards fed (to any Monster), if you feed a Vitamin, all players immediately lose!
If the Monster is fed a mix of item colors that do not combine into a color close enough to the Monster's fur color, all players will lose the level!
Rabbits, on the other hand, do not care about the color of the Items you feed them, but they will only eat vitamins.
If you feed a rabbit an item without vitamins (of any color), all players will lose the level!
Game End
If you manage to feed all of the Creatures on a level, you win!
Winning a level will unlock a new one. You may immediately play the level you just unlocked, or you can wait and try it later.
The app will keep track of the levels that you have completed.
After completing some levels, new stories and Locations may be introduced! When this happens, the app will instruct you to open a specific new card pack and add all of the new cards to your deck for all future games! Each card from the same pack has a matching Location icon to indicate the pack they are from.
Each new Location introduces more Items with new special abilities and more exciting Creature types to feed!
