How Creatimon Works
Creatimon blends the real world with digital collecting. Attend maker events, scan NFC tags, evolve your companion, and compete with a global community.
Getting Started
Get Your Invite Code
Creatimon is an invite-only community. Ask a current member or look out for invite codes distributed at 3D printing events and online communities. Enter your code during sign-up to join.
Hatch Your Egg
Once you've signed up, you'll hatch your very first Creatimon from an egg. Your Creatimon gets a unique name generated from your creative family — there are over 50 name families, each with its own personality.
Attend Real-World Events
Creatimon items are tied to real 3D printing meetups and maker events. Head to an event, find the NFC tag station, and tap your phone to collect exclusive items that are only available at that event.
Collect Items & Evolve
Every item you collect changes how your Creatimon looks and grows. Stack enough items to trigger an evolution — there are 5 stages in total, from Seedling all the way to Legendary. Rarer events drop rarer items.
Battle & Climb the Ranks
Challenge other Creatimon in the battle system. Your win rate and collection determine your rank title. Climb from Wanderer to Champion to Immortal and make your mark on the global leaderboard.
Trade with the Community
Got duplicate items? Use QR-based trading to swap items with other collectors at events. Rare items can be traded for different ones you need for your next evolution.
The 5 Evolution Stages
Your Creatimon evolves as you collect more items. Each stage unlocks new visuals and raises your rank.
Stage 1
Seedling
Just hatched. Every journey starts here.
Stage 2
Sprout
You've been to your first event and collected your first item.
Stage 3
Bloom
A seasoned collector with a growing item set.
Stage 4
Ancient
Rare items and event attendance mark your dedication.
Stage 5
Legendary
The rarest of the rare. Respected across the entire community.
📡 How NFC Scanning Works at Events
1. Find the Tag Station
Event organisers place NFC tag stations near the entrance or key areas. Look for the Creatimon banner or ask a staff member.
2. Tap Your Phone
Hold your NFC-enabled smartphone near the tag. Your phone will detect it automatically — no app required on most devices.
3. Claim Your Item
A link opens in your browser. Log in (or sign up) and the exclusive event item is instantly added to your Creatimon's collection.
FAQ
Do I need special hardware to scan NFC tags?
Most modern smartphones (iPhone 7+ and Android with NFC) can read NFC tags without any app. At events, just tap your phone to the tag station and follow the on-screen instructions.
Is my Creatimon permanent?
Yes — your Creatimon is yours forever. It evolves over time as you collect more items, but you'll never lose it unless you delete your account.
Can I have more than one Creatimon?
Currently each account has one Creatimon. This is intentional — we want your single companion to be a true reflection of your real-world activity.
What if I can't attend events in person?
Right now, items are exclusively available at in-person events. We're exploring ways to include online events and digital drops in the future.
How does the leaderboard work?
The leaderboard ranks all Creatimon by a combination of evolution stage, item count, and battle wins. The higher your rank, the higher you climb.
