This virtual world is the best.
It keeps my child entertained and at the same time i know its safe when he is on there, so i have a peace of mind when i know he is on this game!
He finds the mini games interesting, and the costumes pretty amusing. The quests might be a little too difficult for younger kids but fortunately the other kids in the game are pretty helpful and they lent a helping hand!
Above all, The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks provides a safe experience for all kids. It promotes a message about treating your environment with respect. Plus, you can learn quite a lot from it. It's always comforting when I already have previous knowledge about a particular subject; I can participate in class discussion. The only concern I have is with the open chat. With practically no filter in place, kids can get around the blocked curse words by changing a letter or something. Of course, that's why there are mods to ban them.
this is the one virtual world that's about OUR world - your child can go to Australia, Brazil and SIngapore (and many more places) They learn about people who really lived. And even the games are wonderful - like clean up the Amazon River!! The kids do a lot of free form playing - making up stories and just having fun. I hear laughing almost every time I walk past my daughter's room.
got to know about this game thru twitter recently last year. it was just launched and we were surprised to see so many kids on it even though its new.
seeing that our child enjoys it so much, we eventually got a paid membership for three months since early Jan. its great that the kids on this virtual world can learn about history and geography.
I got to know about this game when I was searching for some games for my child. Usually I would register for an account and check the site myself before allowing my child to play. I had checked this site and I feel that it's good and safe for my child. I can see friendly and helpful moderators on its forum and in the game. By the way, the music is pretty good. Better than any other virtual worlds which I had been to.
This game is a wonderful little educational land with great messages...over all:
Game: All Ages
Forums: 10+
The forums are another story. The forums often contain salty language your family might not agree with such as "p---ed off".
Also, it is Fight Central...people are getting into heated debates a lot.
So, I would suggest tweens for the forums, and all ages for the game.
Nice clothings and costumes from all over the world
My daughter love dress-up games. This game has many clothings and costumes from all over the world. She particularly loves the monkey costume from Madagascar. I had just bought it for her and personally I feel it was one of the cheapest item which I had bought from the Internet.
Finally we found a game that has nice graphics. It is not easy to find an educational, yet fun game. This game is a good investment on your time and money for your kids.
This game has a great and safe community. When you sign up, the rules are stated very clearly. Kids are not allowed to share any personal information such as age, location etc. No. 1 site for safety concers.
This virtual world site is simply amazing. There are so many mini games for our children to play. We can even travel around the world and learn more about other countries. We couldn't believe that all these are free.
I have never found a virtual world that is truly educational as it claims until now. Wiglington and Wenks delivers fun and education like no other virtual world for kids does!
