Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

  • You can also search for friends from your iPhone contact list, Facebook account, Yahoo and Google.
  • When the game begins for the first time you will be awarded with a free frog which if you accept will go into your Mailbox. It will have to mature over time and once it is you can place it into one of your habitats.
  • NOTE – You will level up by earning XP (Experience Points) by completing Awards and breeding frogs. Each time you level up you will win coins and prizes.
  • You will be able to purchase additional habitats from levels 2 to 7.
  • Once you are at level 8 and above you will be able to discover “Lost” breeds in the pond which are worth a lot of money and XP.

Game Currency/Growth Potion/Stamps

Pocket Frogs

  • The game’s main currency is gold coins which you will be given when you sell frogs.
  • You will start out with 1,000 Gold coins when you play the first time.
  • Growth Potion – This causes a frog to reach full maturity immediately. You will be given 10 of these to start you off in the game and may win some in the pond prizes and when you level up.
  • Stamps – Stamps are used to cause items in your mailbox to mature right away. You will be given 10 of these to start you off in the game.
  • NOTE – Use stamps and growth potion sparingly as it will be very valuable in the later levels of the game.
  • NOTE – If you want to purchase additional stamps and growth potion tap on “Pro Shop” on the main menu and you can purchase more if needed. (See image above)

Frog Focus

Pocket Frogs Pocket Frogs

  • Tap on a frog to see all there is to see about that particular frog.
  • When the frog is untamed and a baby you will only see 3 options which are move, Pond, and Sell.
  • Tap on Pond if you wish to take the baby to the pond to allow it to tame and mature to adulthood.
  • Tap on Sell and you will sell the baby at a much lower rate than if it were a mature adult but sometimes if you need room you may need to do this.
  • Move causes you to move it from one habitat to another.
  • Once a frog is mature and tame you will see 3 additional options this will be Catalog, Breed, and Gift.
  • Catalog sends your frog to a Collection of sorts where you can buy it again if you need it to breed with another species that you need for the collection.

Frog Mart

Pocket Frogs

  • Tap on Main Menu at the bottom right of the screen and then tap on “Frog Mart”
  • Here you can purchase any frog as long as it is unlocked.
  • You may have to wait until you reach a certain level before a species is available for purchase.
  • Once you purchase a frog you will have to wait a certain amount of time before it is available which is listed by the purchase price.
  • You will also see a maximum value which is the most you can sell the frog back to the store for once it is fully mature.


Sending Frogs to the Pond/Taming Frogs/Finding Gifts/Breeding

Pocket Frogs Pocket Frogs

Pocket Frogs
  • When you send a baby frog to the pond there are 2 objectives which are seen at the bottom of the screen with meters.
  • Tap your finger on a lily pad to make your frog jump there.
  • You will notice that several dragon flies will be flying around at different sizes. If you can get the frog to eat the fly by flying over it you will notice it gets older with each fly it eats. The meter at the top will tell you how many more flies you need to eat to reach adulthood.
  • The other meter will tell you how to tame your frog. A frog must be tamed before it can breed and it must be full grown before it can breed.
  • Taming a Frog – To tame a frog it will need to eat a certain number of flies. Look at the top of the screen to see how many flies he needs to eat to become tame. A message will notify you when the frog is tame.
  • Finding Gifts – While you are moving from lily pad to lily pad you will occasionally see a gift. If you jump on the gift you will win all kinds of prizes from coins to habitats to other frog breeds.
  • Breeding in Pond – If you see another frog quickly get your frog to jump on top of it to breed. You will be asked if you want to breed the 2 frogs for a cost. If you accept the frog egg will automatically go into the Nursery and you will have to wait for it to hatch before you can put it into the pond or another habitat.
  • NOTE – You can leave a newly hatched baby frog to grow over time or place it in the pond to eat flies until it grows. (This is the fastest way to mature a frog)
  • If you run out of room you will need to either sell a frog or move it to another habitat if you have one.
  • NOTE – Each time you breed a frog you will have a new breed of frog.. You do NOT have to breed 2 frogs of the same species. The goal of the game is to breed as many different frog species as you can and there are 10,000 possible breeds so this game will keep you busy a long time.
  • Be sure to look at the “Awards” area so you will see which frogs you wish to pay to breed in the main menu or Catalog area or those you wish to randomly breed in the pond.

Frog Collections/Cataloging Frog Species

Pocket Frogs Pocket Frogs

  • Once a frog is an adult you can tap on it and then tap on “Add to Collection” once this species is locked in you can always buy it in the future if you need it for another species.
  • Usually if you are low on room it is best to add a frog to the collection and then sell it to make room for more frogs.
  • NOTE – Be sure you breed this frog before you do this so you have the benefit of a new breed from this frog.
  • To see your collections tap on “Menu” at the bottom right of the screen then from the main menu tap on “Catalog” here you can buy any breed you have placed in the Catalog area.
