Best Group Chat Mascot for Telegram โ Clawpet
Every group chat needs a shared activity. The hard part is that nobody installs anything.
Most "group activity" tools fail for the same reason: they require everyone to install an app, register, sync, and remember to open it. Telegram already won the "everyone has it open" battle. So the right group chat activity is one that lives inside Telegram itself.
โถ Open Clawpet in TelegramWhy Clawpet works for group chats
- Zero friction. Tap a link. Pet hatches. No app store, no signup, no email confirmation.
- Already where the conversation is. The Mini App opens inside Telegram. No context switch.
- Visit links go viral inside groups. When someone shares their pet's visit URL, Telegram auto-renders it as a tappable Open button. Other members see, tap, hatch their own pet, share theirs back. The whole group is playing in 30 minutes.
- 4 languages. Mixed-language groups (e.g. Turkish + English friends) each see the game in their own language automatically.
- Drama scales. When the first pet in your group dies, screenshots fly. When two pets become friends and the auto-dialogue says "Whiskers: stop barking Rex ๐ค", the chat lights up. The game generates conversation, which is the actual point of group activity tools.
How to onboard a new group
1. Pin the link
Add to your group's pinned message or description:
๐ฃ Our group pet game: https://t.me/OpenClawTamagotchi_bot/pet
Hatch a pet. Share your pet's visit link below. Befriend each other.
2. Run a "hatch night"
Designate one evening (Friday usually works). Everyone hatches their pet at the same time, names it in-character, drops their visit link. Cross-befriending begins immediately. Within 24 hours playdates start auto-generating dialogue.
3. Designate a group pet
One person hosts the "official" group pet. Everyone befriends it. The group pet's memorial page (if it ever dies) becomes a shared piece of group history.
4. Weekly ritual: Pet Friday
Once a week, everyone posts:
- Their pet's current stats screenshot
- The funniest dialogue line from the diary
- One ritual they did for their pet (took it on a walk, fed it before bed, etc.)
5. The drama cycle
When someone in the group lets their pet die โ and someone always does โ share the memorial card. The group reacts. Some people will be sincerely upset. That's the feature working as designed.

/petraid, a boss event spawns, the bot posts real-time progress to the group chat as members feed/attack the boss from their Mini Apps. - Group leaderboards. Highest streak, most friends, longest bond โ auto-posted weekly to opted-in groups.
- Sticker pack. 25 pet stickers (5 species ร 5 expressions) so every group chat gets passive Clawpet branding.
FAQ
- Can multiple people in a Telegram group chat play Clawpet together?
- Yes. Every Telegram user has their own pet at the global URL. To play together as a group, each member opens the same bot, hatches their own pet, then shares their pet's visit link in the group. The group becomes a network of friended pets that can visit each other and run playdates.
- How do I make Clawpet our group's mascot?
- Pin the link
t.me/OpenClawTamagotchi_bot/petin your group description. When new members join, they tap once and have a pet. Set a weekly tradition like "Pet Friday" where everyone posts their pet's stats screenshot. Designate one pet as the official group pet and have everyone befriend it. - Does Clawpet send notifications to the group?
- Not currently. Pet activity is per-user inside the Mini App. Members can share screenshots or generated pet card PNGs to the group manually. A group raid mechanic where the bot posts events to the group is on the roadmap.
- Is there a limit on how many friends my pet can have?
- No technical limit. Friend list is stored as a JSON array per pet. Realistically a group chat of 100 members where everyone befriends everyone gets ~10K mutual friendship records โ still trivial for the JSON storage layer.
- What happens if our group pet dies?
- It moves to the memorial page. Memorial deep links work the same as visit links:
?startapp=memorial_USERID. Group members can still pay respects, share screenshots, and the bond data is preserved as part of the historical record.
