Odd name aside, this is currently one of the largest online communities for children ages 11 to 14 online. The reason for this is that more parents are willing to invest in subscription for this service than any other online.
And there is one outstanding reason for this: Vizcops. Aside from being a very niche market system, Vizwoz also maintains and employs its own online law enforcement team.
While the actual in-and-outs of Vizcops are not known publicly, parents can rest assured that in this community, their children are save and well protected. Unlike typical moderators, game masters and community heads, Vizcops take their jobs seriously. Complaints by users are handled with care and professionalism, and the investigation of any claim takes everything into account. While there are other support systems available such as technical support for software and hardware concerns, most of the issues fall under the Vizcops jurisdiction.
So now that you know you are protected, why should you play? Vizwoz also supports a large array of gameplay options for players.
Those who want to talk and mingle can join one of the many open rooms and chatrooms available to users. You can even create your own room for people to join. Those who prefer to play will find that Vizwoz offers a large library of flash games that will not only keep you entertained for hours, but will also earn you a few online credits for the game as well.
For the most part, we recommend Vizwoz as a good starting off point for kids who are new to online interaction. The presence of an authority figure in-game will help iron out these many creases that blur the internet's morality rules to a smudgy gray.
After all, nothing beats practicing in a controlled environment before jumping into the fray. For kids and parents, Vizwoz offers plenty of security - which is something that is hard to put a price on these days.
With all the flash based virtual communities online, there is some pretty tough competition out there. But Habbo is facing these turbulent seas and is taking in plenty of fish as the world of weird and boxlike virtual people meet, Kongregate and play continues to grow each day. Habbo is virtually an animated chat lounge and each location you find ingame is a self-sustaining chat room. New players will initially have access to almost all public and commercial channels.
In order to get inside private rooms, you need to make friends, socialize and be invited. Creating your own Habbo character is easy, the moment you step into the game, the system prompts you for a gender and places your character in the public area.
From here, you can name and change almost any detail you want. Be careful of the name change too, you can only do it once and after you click on confirm, you will not be able to change it again.
As for physical features, Habbo allows players to adjust these aspects hairstyle, clothes, etc from the access toolbar on the left side of the game screen at any time. Among the many things players will enjoy about Habbo is the presence of specialized commercial rooms and themed rooms. These allow players to visit virtual locations designed to mimic real life places or simply as virtual stand in offices for real world companies a television studio can have a virtual set, while a clothing manufacturer can have a virtual store.
To purchase items online, players can literally buy game credits or accomplish quests online. These quests are often easy to accomplish and more often than not, simply requires the player to walk around the different locations.
Habbo's pixel art cubic delivery may not appeal to some players and tends to have the appearance of a children's game, but it is something we have come to appreciate. Also, this approach to the visual style discourages grievers and other users who prefer to cause trouble in games that border too much on looking real. Pet games have always had that distinctive charm of having a cute little critter follow you around without the need to pick up the litter they leave behind or in the case of certain games, the entire task is accomplished in a single neat click.
Moshi Monsters follows this tradition and takes the scenario up a notch: by providing you with a nest of mythical creatures to choose from. And these are not your typical unicorns and dragons sort either; Moshi Monsters brings in some of the lesser known monsters into the forefront. With a choice of zombies, angry bunnies, living puppets, imps, demons and gorilla-like monkeys at your fingertips, which demented option will you choose? Fortunately, the game visual's approach is not as disturbing as it sounds on paper.
All the creatures have been redesigned to become cute and lovable - with looks that would not be too out of place to imagine on a grade school student's lunchbox. They have also been given strange new names to fit the new image as well.
Speaking of image, players will also get to decide on how their little monsters will be colored since you cannot directly change the physical form of the pets , and what kinds of clothes and accessories they will wear. After players name the monster and select a color scheme, they can head straight into one of the game's many stores in order to buy clothes. Initially, new members will not have access to several shops.
But once a user has purchased membership, plenty of options will be made available. In order to gain ingame credits for virtual purchases, players can take part in the daily puzzle challenge - a mix of number and visual problems at the Puzzle Palace. While the earnings are meager, spending a few minutes a day on this game can go a long way. One great thing we noticed about the Moshi Monsters community was how welcoming the existing users can be.
There are also plenty of submissions for daily fan art and screenshots. If you have been looking for a solid community of active users to join, Moshi Monsters is a great place to find it. Run and supported by Disney Online Studios Canada, Club Penguin is a self-sustaining world with plenty of users, lots of places to explore and hordes of games to find yes, find. While it is generally targeted for a much younger audience, a much older crowd of teens and young adults will still find its many games and features to be quite charming.
Besides, waddling around as a penguin around a snowcapped virtual community can be quite fun in its own way. In case you are wondering, yes, you can pick up some snow and throw it. After all, that's one of the best ways of enjoying a snow filled neighborhood right? In Club Penguin, it is snow all year round and there is an instant button for the "throw snowball" action. This instantly turns your mouse cursor into a targeting reticule and you can launch a snow ball in the area you click.
The sites' many locations have ice forts and plenty of other obstacles for players to use in snowball fights. You can also toss a snowball at some of the objects in game just to see what happens throw one in the mine generator and the lights will turn on for a few moments. As we mentioned above, games have to be found. Each location hosts about one or two games that players can try out - and there are so many locations to explore.
While this may be a annoying for players who prefer a quicker way to access games, we found it quite refreshing. The concept is so much better than simply heading to an 'arcade' location in-game which is actually a bad substitute for having a simple games window. Some games will require you play with a human opponent and others let you face off against a computer.
While playing with others is fun, there are plenty of occasions when a losing player will quit the game midway - effectively negating a loss and also, wasting your time and effort. Penguin Club users also participate in a wide range of Puffle rescue missions. Puffles are weird fur-ball type creatures that come in different colors and have a penchant for getting into all sort of ridiculous trouble.
In order to rescue them, players take part in uniquely challenging mini games -voften with the simple premise of getting past obstacles to retrieve the Puffle, then making it back to the point of origin. As a reward, players can gain special Puffle rescue stamps. Rescuing Puffles is a major feature of the game and in order to access some of the bigger rescue missions, players will have to sign up for a membership to the Club. For those hoping for some extra degree of customization, the only thing you can change with your penguin is the color.
You could wear some interesting accessories, but that's about as much customization as you can do for your character. The igloo on the other hand, is much more fun to play around with. The igloo serves as the player's personal home which can be visited instantly using the "home" button on the lower right.
With its many in game locations, games and competitive multiplayer community, Club Penguin is one of the most lastable free virtual worlds online and is quite rewarding for players with an adventurous spirit and a drive for challenges. Here are some interactive online games to play with big groups.
