This is the permanent home for every free Jimothy game, toy and desktop pet. Pick one from the menu with the arrow keys and press Enter, or just tap it. New ones land in the same menu as they are built, so a bookmark here is enough.
Jimothy is a wild animal, not a pet and not an attraction. These games are as close as any of us should ever get to him.
Don't go looking for him, don't feed him, and don't crowd him for a photo. Food from people teaches raccoons to approach humans, and that is how a beloved neighborhood raccoon becomes a "problem animal" who gets removed. If you see a raccoon that is injured or in trouble, call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator rather than handling it yourself.
Jimothy is a real raccoon living in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood who went viral in July 2026 after a short video asked the internet "what am I looking at?" His unusually short spine makes his torso look almost spherical, and his scuttling hobble made him an overnight icon: 10+ million views, fan art, merch, and the slogan "hot Jimothy summer."
Not everything here is a game. The menu collects every Jimothy in one place: the original 8-bit NES-style game with four missions, the desktop pet and screensaver who just lives on your screen, and Jimothy vs. The Fence, a four-mission sequel up and over a backyard fence. New ones get added to the same menu as they are built.
Free, with no account, no signup, and no install. Each one is a single web page that runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you do gets sent anywhere, and scores and settings stay on your own device.
Yes. On a touch device the game puts an on-screen NES controller under your thumbs. On a laptop it takes the keyboard, and it will also read a connected gamepad.
The desktop pet. Instead of missions, Jimothy just lives on your screen: hobbling around, following your cursor, napping, and occasionally getting the zoomies. It is the Jimothy version of Screen Schnauzer.
The sequel, and the newest thing on the menu. One enormous backyard fence across four missions: climb it, walk the top rail, get back down, and beat a garbage can on the way home. It opens as Jimothy Sighting, which is what the wildlife crossing sign on the title screen says.
Yes, and this page is the permanent home for all of them. Anything new shows up in the menu with a NEW flag next to it, so bookmarking this page is enough.
No. Experts say he is best left to his own devices. Washington Fish and Wildlife's advice: never feed raccoons, secure your garbage, feed pets indoors, lock pet doors at night. Concerned about an animal near Seattle? PAWS Wildlife Center: 425-412-4040.
No. Jimothy is a wild raccoon and has, as far as anyone knows, signed no licensing deals. These are free fan tributes built by Chris Pirillo, with original artwork, original synthesized music, and real raccoon coexistence advice in the manuals.
