Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play My Very Hungry Caterpillar, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Range 4.2K – 250K

No source reports a live count for this game, so this is a share of the total player base — a genre assumption rather than an observation, which is why the range is wide.

Storyline

It begins with a tiny egg. Tap it and marvel as it hatches into a Very Hungry Caterpillar. Can you find him some food to eat? Eric Carle’s much-loved character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has won the hearts of millions of children around the world for more than 50 years. Equally My Very Hungry Caterpillar app has been enthralling and teaching new generations of children in this award-winning toddler-friendly game. With over 6 million downloads to date this multi-award winning app has now been fully updated for this special 5th anniversary release. The Very Hungry Caterpillar loves food and fun. Feed him, play with him, and make sure to tuck him up under his cosy leaf so he gets plenty of rest. The more the caterpillar grows the more new activities you unlock. Grow flowers, sort shapes, paint pictures, pick fruit, go sailing alongside cute rubber ducks and goldfish. You can even hunt for buried treasure with him. Push him on a swing. Have fun playing together. Help him explore, pick him up, or take a peek into his colourful toy box. If you care for him, the caterpillar turns into a cocoon. Tap it and help transform him into a beautiful butterfly. Then do it all again when a new egg appears. It's a world of beauty and colour you'll return to again and again.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play My Very Hungry Caterpillar?

We estimate that about 850,000 people have played My Very Hungry Caterpillar — plausibly between 420K and 1.7M. Around 42,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 4.2K and 250K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play and App Store rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is My Very Hungry Caterpillar still active?

Yes. My Very Hungry Caterpillar is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the My Very Hungry Caterpillar player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
