Live the life of a wild wolf!

A game about wolf ecology in Yellowstone National Park

You are a gray wolf in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. Now dispersed from your natal pack, you're on your own – to hunt, explore, find a mate and form your own pack to raise up a new family. Can you and your little pack survive the trials of the wild?

Embark on a quest for survival

Your quest begins as a young dispersal wolf. You must first test your hunting skills against elk, moose, mule deer, and other prey. Once you are a skilled hunter, you can seek out another wolf to become your mate.

Together, you'll establish a territory and choose a den site where you will raise a litter of pups: feeding them, defending them against the competition, and teaching them the skills they will need to live the life of a wild wolf.

Can your little family pack succeed?

Experience Yellowstone

Explore realistic recreations of select locations within Yellowstone National Park. Set in the Northern Range (often referred to as "the Serengeti of North America"), where many animals roam meadows, sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests, and high ridges.

But be wary – you are not the only wolf in the area. Rival packs make their home across the landscape and don't take kindly to sight-seeing intruders. Other dangers roam the lands as well – grizzly bears, cougars, and coyotes among them who will vie with you for territory and food.

Play WolfQuest alone or with friends!

Live a wolf's life in both single- and multiplayer modes: Learn to hunt, establish a territory, raise pups, protect them from danger, and try to keep your pack alive and thriving through the seasons.

Multiplayer offers both public games that anyone can join and private games restricted to selected friends.

The WolfQuest Saga

Released December, 2024

The story of your pack now continues in the Saga -- an expansion (free to anyone who owns WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition) where you can live the entire life of your wolf. The seasons roll by as you raise a new litter of pups every year: feeding them, defending them from competitors, and helping them learn how to hunt big prey. Yearlings help with the new pups until they too may decide to disperse and join or form another pack. With tenacity and skill (and some luck), build your legacy of skilled hunters and pack leaders! Can you survive long enough to become a legendary wolf of Yellowstone?

Raising the bar for realistic and accurate eco-simulation gameplay, many features in the game are directly adapted from wildlife research. Our science advisors include some of the top wolf biologists in the world today, who help us keep WolfQuest accurate to real wolf biology and behavior.

  • Live the life of a wild wolf! Form your own pack and watch your adorable pups grow into adults and disperse, year after year, until your wolf dies. End your story on your deathbed, or select an heir to continue your legacy.

  • Wolves communicate with each other using natural actions and vocalizations. Packmates and pups interact and play with each other. Dynamic (family-friendly) courtship interactions help find and choose a suitable mate.

  • A genetics system models inheritance of each wolf's genes, including eye color, physical and personality attributes, and genetic coat color.

  • Elk roam the lands in realistic herds, along with moose, mule deer, beavers and other prey.

  • Animals behave and change to the seasons. Herds migrate through the year. Bucks and bulls spar in the autumn rut and shed their antlers. Cows and does give birth and raise their own young.

  • Rival wolf packs maintain and protect their own territories from intruders – like you!

  • Bears, cougars and coyotes will challenge you for their kills and defend their own.

  • Optional Ironwolf Mode: Live life on the edge, where each decision counts and your death can't be taken back.

  • Over 100 Achievements and a variety of collectible objects hidden across the map, from shed antlers, skulls, to lost human items.

And a lot more!
