Look after a pond full of happy turtles

Adopt a turtle, give it a name and look after it in a calm garden pond: drop in pellets, skim the leaves, move the parasol so the log gets the sun, and stroke its shell until it stretches its neck and slowly blinks.

Did you like Turtle Pond?

Turtle Pond

Turtle Pond is a gentle garden pond seen from the side, with a waterfall tumbling over the rocks, a pebble beach, lily pads and a mossy log that leans out of the water. Your first turtle is yours to choose from six looks, from a round green pond turtle and a red-eared slider to a spotted turtle, a yellow-bellied one, a tiny musk turtle and a stripy one, and you spell its name with letter tiles. A second and a third turtle come along later as friends.

Each turtle has six needs that drift slowly: food, clean water, warmth, fun, rest and cuddles. Drop pellets, lettuce, a worm or a strawberry and watch them dive after it; skim leaves with the net, scrub the filter and tap the waterfall to freshen the water; drag the parasol off the log on sunny days or swing the heat lamp over it on grey ones. Toss the ball, start the bubble stone or send a turtle through the pebble maze, and rub its shell for a stretched neck and happy eyes. Turtles paddle, poke their heads up, climb the log a little clumsily, bask in a row and sink to the bottom to sleep at night, while frogs, dragonflies and a duck drop by.

Nothing bad ever happens here: a turtle that needs you just looks a bit wistful, and time away only earns a missed-you welcome when they all pop up at once. The in-game clock turns the seasons from spring blossom through summer lilies and autumn leaves to a quiet winter. Four quick games of half a minute each, Skim, Toss, Shine and Hop, have no way to lose and each remembers your best score. Care earns hearts that grow reeds, a bridge, lanterns, water lilies and a bigger pond, a daily visit brings a sticker for the shells, and everything is saved in your browser, so it is a lovely place to relax.

Tips for Turtle Pond

Your turtle has six needs, food, clean water, warmth, fun, rest and cuddles, and they all drift slowly, so short regular visits work well. Warmth depends on the weather: on sunny days drag the parasol off the log so it gets the sun, and on grey days swing the heat lamp over it instead. For clean water, skim the leaves with the net, scrub the filter and tap the waterfall.

Vary the food and the play. Pellets, lettuce, a worm or a strawberry all go into the water, and the ball, the bubble stone and the pebble maze cover fun. Do not forget the shell rub, which is how you give cuddles. The hearts you earn grow reeds, a bridge, lanterns, water lilies and a bigger pond, and caring well brings a second and a third turtle. The four half-minute games are a relaxed way to collect more.

Frequently asked questions

Is Turtle Pond free to play?

Yes. Turtle Pond is free to play in your browser on Kiloo, with nothing to download and no account needed. Your turtles, their names, your pond and your best mini-game scores are all saved in the browser you play in.

Can I play Turtle Pond on my phone?

Yes. On a phone or tablet you tap a tab and then a tool, drag food into the pond and stroke a shell with your finger. On a computer you use the mouse, or the keyboard, where 1 to 3 picks a turtle.

How do I get more turtles in Turtle Pond?

You start by choosing one of six looks for your first turtle and naming it with letter tiles. A second and a third turtle join later as friends while you keep caring for the pond, so looking after the needs of the first one is the way to welcome more.

What happens if I leave Turtle Pond for a while?

Nothing bad. A turtle that needs you only looks a bit wistful, and when you come back after time away, all your turtles pop up at once to say they missed you. The seasons carry on turning on the in-game clock.
