Parents need to know that this site is definitely a girly gamer world full of hearts and all things pink, purple, and glittery. Geared toward girls 7-10 years old ("no boys allowed"), the site is packed with safe, fun games and other things to do. Players can buy "stuff" at the "mall" with gems they've earned playing games. The site's characters are hip, multi-cultural, cute, and by no means weak. Girls can sign up for free with just an email and date of birth; parent permission is necessary if they're under 13. Screen names are chosen from predetermined combinations, so there's no chance of personal information being shared. Banner ads only promote the site itself. Chat and toys based on the characters are coming soon.
Girls, get your game on! ALLGIRLARCADE.COM is about as safe as it gets and full of super fun activities. Some games are remakes of old favorites: Ski-Ball, Donkey Kong, Crazy Eights, and some are edutainment goodies like word searches, matching gems, and spot the differences in two pictures. Dress up the All Girls Squad star, Jessy, in your favorite outfit or ask Raveena a question at Daily Destiny, and use gems as currency at the mall. Gems are collected by trying new games, completing rounds, or solving puzzles and/or achieving high scores. Special gem awards are given for top notch game-play. Buy food, pets, accessories, icons, or wallpaper for yourself, or give them to friends you've connected to your page. For the true gamers out there, AllGirlArcade.com has real game reviews for several different platforms.
Each game on AllGirlArcade.com has its own groovy ambient tune to play along with. The music is good, the design of this site great, layout and game play are intuitive, cool characters have lots of hip clothes and hair, and connecting with friends is easy and safe (give gifts!). Stay tuned for more additions to the site; word is chat and toys are coming soon. And, boys don't need to worry -- AllBoyArcade.com is said to be in the works for next year.
Families can talk about which characters are their favorites and why. Is it the way they look? Is it the games they host or what is said about their personalities and activities? What characters are most like their closest friends? Families can talk about how some characters may be more likable than others depending on what we have in common with them or what we strive to be like.
