WolfQuest – Simulation Game Review
WolfQuest is a Simulation/Education game from eduweb, inc., first launched in 7th September 2016.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 8,577+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes WolfQuest Stand Out
LIVE THE LIFE OF A WILD WOLF!
You are a two-year old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. You learned the ways of the wolf in your birth pack. Now it's time for you to learn how to live on your own, finding food, meeting other wolves, and searching for a mate. Ultimately, your goal is to find a home and build your own family.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE FREE GAME:
The free game features Amethyst Mountain, the first level of the game where you can explore Yellowstone's wilderness, hunt elk, communicate with other wolves, and find a mate.
PURCHASE THE FULL GAME TO UNLOCK MUCH MORE!
The full game features the Slough Creek map where you find a den, establish a territory, and raise pups. It also includes co-op multilplayer and an additional map, Lost River. Extra wolf customizations are also available as additional in-app purchases.
RECOMMENDED DEVICES:
- iPhone 5S or newer.
- iPad Air or newer.
- iPad Mini 2 or newer.
EMBARK ON A QUEST FOR SURVIVAL!
Your quest begins on the slopes of Amethyst Mountain and eventually takes you across the Lamar Valley to Slough Creek. There, you and your mate will establish a territory and raise a litter of pups: training them, feeding them, defending them against predators, and finally taking them on a cross-country journey to a summer home. Ultimately, your success will depend on your ability to ensure the survival of your pack.
PLAY ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS!
In single-player games, learn how to hunt elk, communicate with other wolves, find a mate, establish a den and territory, raise pups, and embark on a perilous journey to a summering site.
In multiplayer games, explore the wilderness and hunt elk together, and now raise pups together! This new version features the entire Slough Creek mission arc, from choosing a den to raising pups and traveling to the rendezvous site. There are two types of multiplayer games:
- Private games: Invite-only, featuring voice, text, and phrase chat.
- Public games: Anyone can join, phrase chat or (for players age 13 and up) text chat.
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Ive seen online that you guys were making a mobile version of WolfQuest 3/anniversary addition and its been since 2021 that you guys made the Mac/PC version and we and probably many others would be so happy if you guys made a mobile version for us brokies out here.
We've been playing this game for 6 years now. When we first got it and completed the quest of getting a mate we've always wanted to get the full version but never did. Just got the full version last year and it was awesome! Sure our mate kept glitching like when we were going to the summer home they were glitched running in mid place and we were really mad but kept going and we just started another game. But other than some of the minor bugs it's really good. REALLY MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE GAME WHEN YOUR ABOUT TO HAVE PUPS! Because we got kicked out of the game once and had to restart marking our territory. Thanks for reading.
Sooo we think that they may only like the anerversery addition bc it wont let us purchase anything or renew any past purchases and we have had this game since we were 6 and we have been quite literally playing it almost every day and we are 13 now so thats saying something. But other than that this is still our fave game in the entire world and everything els works fine.
Can you please fix multiplayer that is our one complaint but overall we love this game.
So, we really want to be able to switch in between versions, we dont even know what version we are in!!! We are also not allowed to make online purchases sadly and we really want puppies.
Ive played this game so much times but kept deleting it and also other games for storage, but something we want to know is how to get a mate. We always try different ways but they keep attacking us, so if there is anyway you can help us please tell.
We have played wolfquest for years! We love it! The graphics are good, the pups are absolutely adorable, theres no ads, and its not pricey! But lately our games been crashing a lot more? Ive got no idea why, we made the graphics low, the vegetation low, and yet it keeps crashing? Im wondering if its just a bug? Edit- Hey! We LOVE this game still! Im very sad multiplayer had been taken off! We believe this ended up in many players deleting the game, and while we still love the game and am glad we can still message our old friends, it feels like one of the best parts that made wolfquest a community was taken away.
We certainly LOVE this game but one thing we dont know where the gateway botton is to leave.we cant see it anywhere.ive been hunting elk Ive hunted 73 elk. We have a mate and hes been hunting with us . But the rest of the game? LOVE IT ! And its amazing that when you find a mate you get your own territory .but please show us where the gateway button is. But viewers that are reading this ITS SO AWSOME!!!!!!You get to play as a wild wolf and hunt elk explore,hunt, and survive! Find a mate and more about being a wolf.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER !!!!!!! WHEN YOU LOG IN YOU HAVE FIVE FREE MID WOLF SKINS! YOU CAN BUY MORE AND PLEASE BUY THE FULL-GAME YOU CAN HAVE SPECIAL ABILITIES NOT MAGICAL BUT NORMAL YOU CAN HAVE A MATE RAISE PUPS AND HUNT ALSO please tell us when WOLF QUEST 3 is coming out on IPads please also add where you can playas your pups and or keep them in there pack like anniversary edition PLEASE GIVE THE PEAPOLE WHO BUY THE FULL GAME WOLF QUEST 3 for FREE BC we SPENT A LOT OF MY MONEY ON THIS ALREADY AND GIVE THE PEAPOLE WHO BOUGHT IT SEPARATELY A SPECIL ADVANTAGE OR AND PACK /skin/achivment love sparrow (profile name ).
Has educational value learned a lot about wolves from this game – is definitely more realistic than a lot of other wolf games – we play this a lot – entertaining as well as challenging – full game is worth it (fr its not that much, people often leave bad reviews because it costs money, but really? 3 dollars is that much? Edit : now 2 dollars) – it is true that there is no generation system, but you can just design your pups as wolves and continue generations with one of them. Ive completed the game 14 times for 14 generations, it is surprisingly hard to have all your pups survive, but its part of the challenge. Would be a lot more boring if protecting pups was unnecessary – Dont really have any suggestions to make it better – slay game – we guess Ill leave some tips for people who are like FINDING A MATE TAKES SOOOOOOO lOnG and its BORING AND ALL YOU DO IS HUNT!!!!!!! !,, !SL,S!,11! You have to have at least 800 experience before you find a dispersal wolf, and a solid way to get this experience quickly is chasing off bears and cougars (however we would suggest bears because they are slower and easier to find). The easiest way is to run at them and bite them before quickly running away again or to stay behind them and keep biting them until theyre chased off. Gives tons of exp (200 we think). True, the instructions suggest to hunt elk, but can they really tell you GO FIND A BEAR AND CHASE IT OFF to a potential noob? Ill update later we guess but we dont feel like it rn.
. . . , . . . , , , . . ! ( )()(`).
We are in love with this game but can you fix multiplayer we miss playing with our papa and friends and we look every day looking if multiplayer is working again and please please please please dont stop trying to fix it.
We love this game, but there is a difference between the Pc version and Mobile version. First the Pc version is more realistic than the mobile also Im a mobile player and every 10 minutes playing the game it kicks us out, can you please fix that? Anyway that is the first problem, we dont really have a problem with the fighting but we wish you can attack the enemy in the back much easier and also can you make the mate protect the pups also? We had so many pups die and also our make died since it was just walking around when a bear was attacking them. Thank you for reading! ^^.
Ok this game is so good for this time period. It brings back so many memories of our childhood and the (multiplayer was just a cherry on top of the Giant Pile of ice cream ). We always wondered why you guys got rid of multiplayer every one was nice at least from our perspective. If you could add multiplayer back this game would be just that much better. Also would love to see some new animals such as ducks swimming In the water or White tail deer anyways we would highly recommend getting this game (please respond).
We love the first features but when it comes to when youre ready to leave..its hard to wait until it spawns you away! But you cant starve so you have to leave the gate once in a while..and you have to stay there until it spawns you.
We feel like we should have the newer wolf quest games on here as well.
Hey, we literally love the game so much! We remember playing this way younger or just a few years ago but whats thrilling about this is having the responsibility of taking care of your pups and mate as well, including having to figure out things yourself and how they suit you best! Although, Im a bit confused on the emotes and calls. We been trying to search up the different commands for each emote or call, for the whole mate thing to respond to because while we were traveling with the pups or hunting, our mate would follow us when we dont want them and want them to stay with the pups for protection, So the question is, how do we do that.
NO CAPE MAKE MORE OF THESE GAME WHO MADE THIS NICE JOB 1I GIVE IT A 1000,0000 AMAZING.
We love wolfquest so much, and we remember playing it all the time back in 2019 or something like that. So many good memories.
Hi we just redownload this game and let us say, its amazing the graphics are good and we like how This is based off of real wolves in Yellowstone but we do have some suggestions 1. Family tree: a family tree would be fun and if you had pup you liked you cold play as it and if you play as that pup and get a mate your pups color would be able to be from the great Gand parents to 2. More maps: l know the pc version has a third map that looks very fun and, we would like mobile to have a 3 map too. 3.Pups in the lost river map we know that the lost river is supposed to be this dangerous place so dangerous you cant have pups but it would be fun to have pups on a different map and not be stuck with the one map again,this is a really fun game and Im excited to see how this game will grow in the future.
So we know a lot of people like it we get it but we love it so much it is really goooood.
Hey love the game just sad that we couldnt update them to the better fluffier version! XD.
At first we were confused but once we got the hang of it we were hooked! We do suggest fixing some bugs and maybe adding more stuff. Other than that the games great.
So when we had pups and in the part where you need to protect them we keep dying from a bear so idk how to scare the bear so we can go on with the game.
Ok this game was the start of an time for us Rn we have the PC version of WolfQuest, and its gas we tell ya Its so good, we have to say 5 starts bc without this game Id be emo.
Okay we absolutely love this game but when you first start its impossible to find a mate! Either hes refusing or you want to be the boss or the one that really gets us is its a girl and it takes forever to get to wolf territory! So if they could it a ennie winnie bit easier for newbies. Its a major bug and it would be great to fix. Ps Im sorry if we sound like a pick us (it runs in the family hehe).
Uhh so BEST GAME EVER but we havent played it since 2020 and now there is no noise at all not even the music.
Only one problem.The graphics are bad.
Multiplayer has been discontinued btw.
Im not kidding when we say this is the best simulator games ever created. The game is realistic and it doesnt just follow the kill, level up, make baby type gameplay that most simulators follow. (it kinda does but it puts a spin on it!) dont even get us started on v3 or anniversary edition. Those are whole new games on itself and honestly should be game of the year. Yellowstone needs to officially fund these games because holy the effort and love put into the game is amazing. Also, no ads! Please dont complain about the full game costing money when your the same people who spend tens of hundreds of dollars on micro transactions for pay to have fun games. Good games are gonna cost money. Sorry but thats the reality we live in. Best 3 dollars Ive ever spent.
Hello we would appreciate it if you bring back multiplayer because we really want to play with our friends,we also cant get to the summer rendezvous site from rivers and other Wolf packs in the way,other than those 2 things great game.
This was a fun game when we had it downloaded, in fact it is one of the best sims we have played besides wildcraft so we recommend that too (no offense if the creator is reading) the one thing that we kinda sucked at (but we are kinda bad a these type of sims lol) that it was SO hard to get a mate and we never got one so thats why we deleted it, we rage quit. But we did encounter a wolf a male too, we are a female so, he rejected us. So we kept on hunting to show off, we never saw a wolf again then a cougar and bear were fighting, the cougar won, then he saw us and killed us, besides that IT IS AN AWSOME SIM!!! We recommend it for 7 and up, we are an 11 yr old girl, we recommend for all genders, and non genders. Our brother and non bio friends love this too. And we are pan so we are she/they.
Whenever we like when its the next day and we dont and Im not playing it it always makes us respond to us at this at the same place where we were at before like the first thing when we joined and then when we got a mate it did the same thing and then we had to load the game so yeah can you please fix it because we would have to do that but thats it we would really love the game its so much fun.
Ok so this game is so cool! But we havent played in a long time, so today we were trying to get on but it wont work we have it up to date and everything! Also we have tried to get a mate several times but we keep getting rejected but anyways…. GET THIS GAME OR YOU LIKE FEET.
To play the full game you need to play on a computer where you will be able to hunt and hunting inside. The full game is actually a lot more easier since that you only need to hunt about 3 to 2 elk and then finding a maid is even more harder since that you know you have to find a mate with four diversity with you or three but having four diversity means that your pups are gonna be more open to disease diseases and stuff like that, but having three start of steaming that your pups will probably be like a small litter of pups and if it is your first time playing Wolfquest, we recommend playing on easy mode before anything and then you can try on hard and what not but we for one Im excited to play on accurate since that Im pretty sure we would be able to survive oh yeah and also inside of playing on a tablet and playing Wolf quest you also gotta be aware that there will also be other wolves coming to attack you coyotes bears cougars and also when you are done getting the pack affinity up for the pups then get your territory up and then go hunting and keep feeding them until they are at at least 15 but our pups got up to 16 and 17 and if you are playing on the tablet, and you are very upset that you cannot play the entire game that you can actually play on a computer dont be too upset since that now you can actually start a legacy our first wolves that will actually be inside the game their names are ice and fire from a game that we used to play then we have Coco winter which are the two pups that we ended up naming, and who are going to be the first two to survive the first generation of wolves for the winter pack we have several other wolves that are actually a part of their family, and we have several names to name the pups we have seven for each three years of names for the pups so before you think that you playing the game as a little bit, not even worth it to be honest just remember that you can still make a legacy and you can also create even more pups and have cool back stories for them like the wolf that Im playing right now is Zoe and she has a very cool backstory of her siblings, dispersing, and her being the youngest and dispersing right after them and she caught the scent of a black wolf and since that shes gray, that is probably gonna be three star diversity or four star diversity, but she followed his sent and tried to find him and then the finding him inside of one of the Wolf packs and they ended up making a pretty good team and what not so they decide to become mates and the first time that she actually saw him was during a patrol with her pack and she watched him hunt from a afar and she got really interested in so she decide to disperse so make sure that you remember that playing Wolf quest is not a bad game. It is a very good game and even if you do not have the full game, thats still OK since that you can still make cool stories and also have cool name packs and cool name wolves. But that does not mean that your legacy will since that pups inside the full game will actually this. Either at two as dispersals or they will disburse at five or four or three, but if you have a wolf who is over six or seven, they will stay with you till the very end and just remember that when you start playing the game for the first time the two pack leaders are actually the two parents of the subordinance. The subordinance were their yearlings, but then after the new year came, and after the Tupac leaders had more pups that makes the yearlings no longer yearlings, but subordinate since that theyre going to stay with the pack. OK bye have a good day and we hope that this helped you a lot if you did actually read through this.
The overall game is pretty fun. But we wish there were more options for a lot of things such as prey, wolf designs and actions. WolfQuest can be a little difficult even on pretty easy. Also, we wish you didnt have to purchase the complete game to unlock pups and multiplayer. And even so multiplayer does not work anymore! Though its not very much money, its not really fair either. We also kind of wish that there could be larger or smaller litters of pups than 4 for some variety. But our biggest dislike is that the game ends! We wish that when you reach the summer rendezvous site and it says you will teach your pups to hunt and then in spring youll have another litter and your current litter will help raise your second and then a year later they will disperse, etc., etc., that that could actually happen! It may seem like we hate this game due to our many complaints but we really do like WolfQuest and we are anxious for the day when we can play WolfQuest 3 on electronic devices that arent only a computer. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
As someone playing on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, we honestly dont understand why the mobile version of WolfQuest still feels so limited. Our phone can run high-end games like Resident Evil and Genshin at full quality, but Im stuck with this low-res, outdated version that barely scratches the surface of what the Anniversary Edition offers. The graphics are mid, the maps are basic, and we cant even move our camera freely without turning our whole wolf. We just want full pack control, territory claiming, better AI, and all the realism the PC version has. Im not on some old iPad Ive got a literal pocket console. So heres the idea: make an upgraded mobile version of AE and slap a clear warning on the App Store like: High-End Devices Only (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, Galaxy S24 Ultra, latest iPads, etc.) so people know what to expect. Give us the option to download higher-quality assets or an AE mobile edition, and we promise players will pay. Mobile can easily handle more in 2025. If they level it up like this, WolfQuest mobile could go from decent to god-tier real quick Ive played both the mobile and PC versions PLEASE PLEASE update the mobile version! We genuinely love these games, but the mobile side is so far behind. It deserves the same treatment. We promise you if you update the mobile version you could seriously get more money(Im just saying this dont actually become money hungry please) and more reviews and stuff please.
We love the game, but could you let us have puppies in their demo as well instead of buying the full game.
We just saw that they said that they were going to work on mobile after they were done with computer players we apologize with our last review.
We love this game but the /1/ problem is that when your wolf dies it respawns same age, time, and place literally! Why is it in the game when you have puppies!? Why doesnt it be that you respawn as one of your puppies?! Anyways the game is so cool but something is that the pups health/hunger(idk which one) depletes faster than we can even mark a part of our territory or get more food or even hunt so can you fix that? It made us have to restart our puppies 5 times because of it.
So when we got a mate,we started to make this game as our most favorite but couldnt buy the thing when we got into the river green circle on the map.
Love this game. Period. It is AMAZING, but(this note is for developers) First off, we feel like the pups should be able to grow fully and you should be able to have multiple litters of pups possibly more than four? And maybe even randomized (but rare) genetic mutations? Also can there be more free things for your wolfs? We understand how hard you guys work on the game but we think players will enjoy it. Last thing, there is another WolfQuest game that is FAR more realistic (no offense) but can you guys possibly make the mobile game a bit more realistic too? Its just we feel that it is unfair that there is a better version of wolf quest that you are spending all your time on instead of this one we sadly dont have a PC so we dont have a choice but to use the older one. If you guys would update this game and/or let the better version be accessible on mobile devices we would enjoy that very much. Thank you for reading.
So we love this game we get to play as our favorite animal its realistic and we find ourselves genuinely loving our pup and needing revenge when they get killed but this is all in the desktop version on mobile wolf quest is not a very good game in our opinion we can basically speed through we grow no amount of attachment to our pup but overall Wolfquest on desktop is great.
We just completed wolf quest, but then we were like, why cant we raise a pack, or name our pups? First of all, we really wanna name our pups something more unique than female or male we can think of better names.. But then when we completed the game it took us back to the main screen, but. We were like, why!? We finished that in 5 minutes and you are telling us to do it again!? SO FRUSTRATING, we LOVE the game but these things NEED to be fixed, it is so frustrating to do what you just did 3 times just because you finished the game, the game at. The end tenicaly makes the rest of your life as a wolf for you witch is annoying! We love the game dont get us wrong, but this needs to be fixed, anyway bye, love wolf quest.
Night , how thats WolfQuest 3 you hunt and grow your pack so big!, look at that trailer tho its amazing and the graphics are too!, beautiful work wolf quest love you guys!<3.
Pls add wolf quest anniversary edition on mobile.
One time we were playing online on lost river map. Before anyone joined we heard a tree breaking and a moose but nothing was there.. Then players joined we played together then we heard a deep growl. We felt like elk carcasses were moving when we dont look at them. Then we ask about anything creepy that happened on lost river map and a player said they head a someone shushing a baby but creepy they also said they heard screaming from the radio collar so can u ban the map or fix it.
We love the game so much , but it would be cool to raise your pups to adulthood with your wolf and your mate. Overall toe game is one of our favorites and we hope that you get our message. Thank you.
Dear developer can u make the pups free its just not fair that it cost money for the ppl who really want pups but cant get it so can u pls make the pups free.
Wolfquest is an amazing game, it helps you learn about wolves and has nice gameplay. It is a little bit boring tho, the game doesnt update anymore and Id highly recommend playing Wolfquest 3 (its available on pc and Mac book.) And with original coding from 2007 multiplayer has shut down.
