    About our ratings

    (Flash is loading. If this text does not disappear you need to install the latest flash version)

    Not age appropriate for kids under 7, age appropriate for kids over 8; suggested age 8.

  • Is it any good?

    2.0

  • Common Sense says

    Social networking for tweens, heavy commercial ties.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Players can chat with each other, but the windows for chatting feature a built-in filter that permits people to use only approved words. It certainly prevents inappropriate language, but also makes it hard to communicate.

  • Consumerism:

    The purchase of Huru Humi dolls is the main focus here. The names of several major retail chains where the toys can be purchased are featured prominently.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About HuruHumi

Parents need to know that this tween social networking site heavily promotes the Huru Humi line of toy dolls, and the only way users can obtain a virtual locker to store the items they buy at the online mall is by purchasing one of the toys at a real store. Other than that, it's pretty safe.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about marketing strategies. How can you tell the difference between a game and a commercial? Which do you think this is? The site says it is aimed at people ages 7 to 12; do you think young children will understand the difference between entertainment and marketing? Does playing on this site make you want a Huru Humi doll? Are kids this age ready for online social networking?
