Parents need to know that this game is associated with the children's Viva Piñata TV show. Play is composed of piñata races and short, simple Mini games that are easy to learn and suitable for kids. However, the game supports online play with voice chat enabled, which means other players could be communicating words and ideas that might not be in accord with the game's E rating. Common Sense Media does not recommend online play for any child under age 12.
Violence & scariness:Virtually non-existent. There is some piñata thwacking and the occasional comical bomb explosion during hot potato games, but that's about it.
