Elf Island Gameing for good for all ages
Elf Island is a great game. It is aimed towards kids ages 8 to 14 , but don't be fooled many teenagers and adults play it as well. It is a great game for the whole family. In Elf Island you are an Elf which you can personalize with many different clothing items and styles. Elf Island is not your average online game. Elf Island is gaming for good. Elf Island is a safe place for kids to have fun and make a difference in the real world. It has a chat filter and much more to keep its members happy and safe. The community of Elf Island all participate in Goodquests to help make a difference in the real world. Goodquests are quests that everyone can do to reach a goal to do good. Some recent Goodquests the Elf Island community has completed were for, Polar Bears, Sharks, Building houses in Honduras and many more. Currently, elves are helping Pandas! When playing Goodquests you don't only help the world but you can win prizes and coins. Elf Islanders can make a difference in the world thanks to non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Plant 2020, Polar Bear International, Pandas international, Fresh Producers, Wild Aid and more. There are also many fun things to do on the Island other then Goodquests. You can also find many games throughout the island. These games are lot's of fun and you can earn coins playing them. Later you can spend those coins in the market place for cool items at stores such as Holiday Curio, the Wing Dome, the General Store and more! You can use the items you buy to decorate your own room, which you choose when you join. You can always buy a new room and add rooms. Also in Elf Island you can always find staff members around. Mods are very helpful in answering questions and keeping everyone safe. Hosts do the same as Mods but they also hold games in which you can win prizes. In game you can always send a question, or report a player to the M button(message to the staff) and I find they get back to you fairly quickly. Elf Island also holds many contests and Giveaways. Though one of the best things is the great friends you can make and add to your buddies list. There are also many awesome places to visit on the island, some are the Volcano, beach, woods, meadow, Marsh, Mountain Cave, Ice cavern,Savanna, and many more! The rooms are very cool and beautiful! Elf Islanders can also win awards when they go above and beyond when trading,gifting items, and just playing and many more. With they award you can redeem prizes as well. You can do all this for free, but you can also pay to be a member and get special member only goods, get an allowance, more clothing options and much more! Elf Island is always coming up with new fun ways to do good and is growing fast and making some awesome updates frequently. Most everyone I find is so friendly and helpful and I look forward to continue to play Elf Island as it continues to grow. You can also visit the Elf Island Fansite of the year here: *://*elfislandfansite*/ There you can find lot's of helpful information, including the wiki which is a full directory of every item, room, quests, events, and more that has ever been or is on Elf Island! You can find the latest news and see what other Elves are doing around the island! You can also find some helpful threads and make your own threads if you have questions, opinions, ect.

It was good, until I had to pay to play.
I've played this game when it was in Beta, and here's what I have to say. Pros: Beautiful detail, a good dictionary, and friendly staff. Cons: After the Polar Bear quest, they made it so you had to subscribe in order to participate in Goodquests, the game can gets kinda slow, and you have to clear your cache in order to play, otherwise everyone's invisible. Overall, 4/5.

Perfect for Tweens... not for Younger Kids
Elf Island, now known as Xeko is a virtual world, with many things other virtual worlds don't have. That's right, goodquests. You can do small amounts of good around the world, by gaming. The slogan for this is G4G= Game 4 Good. So far there have been multiple quests, Building 8 Homes in Honduras, Repairing 8 Boats to Catch Shark Finners in the Galapagos, Tracked a Polar Bear 10 Months, Planted 2,000 Trees in Niger, Gave 100 Families Nutritious Foods in Sacramento, California, Adopted a Baby Giant Panda, Gave 1 Family Vacation, Donated 10 Vines to Lemurs, Donated 10 Cameras to Help Preserve Tigers, and even Help Recycling many pounds of garbage. There is a good sense of community, but I must say, I played this when I was a lot younger, and I was rather annoying, and disturbing to other players, and didn't get the concept. But I do now. You can collect rare items, have pets, talk to others, design a house of your own, sell items, play games, and do good. I think this site really reaches out though, and can easily become an addiction. Doing it in moderation is good, though.
