TailTag

TailTag is a real-world fursuit-catching game for furry conventions, built by the Seattle creator Finn the Panther. The pitch is "a cross between Furries and Pokemon Go": you spot a fursuiter on the convention floor, snap a selfie to log a catch, and the app hands you that suiter's profile card.

The profile is the clever part. Each catch shows the suit's species, colors, pronouns, likes and interests, and a single "ask me about" prompt the owner wrote themselves, so you always have something to say. On top of that sits a game layer: catch photos, daily tasks, achievements, and per-convention leaderboards.

It is built to solve a real problem, walking up to a stranger in a full fursuit is intimidating, especially for newcomers. TailTag turns that approach into a low-stakes game with a built-in conversation starter.

The fursuit catching idea was invented at large European conventions like Eurofurence and NordicFuzzCon, which run their own badge-code catch games. TailTag is Finn's own independent US app inspired by that tradition, not a port of any single con's system. It is free on iOS and Android, rated 4+ and intended for ages 13 and up, and uses foreground location only when you choose to verify you are at a con.
