The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Quiz questions at KooCollege are divided into grade-appropriate levels and cover academic topics.
  • Messages:

    The game encourages kids to work for their rewards. To earn KooCoins, kids must either win games, get a job, or enroll in KooCollege.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The toys retail for $14.99, but you can find them cheaper.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Kookeys

Parents need to know that this complex virtual world follows the same model as other toy-based virtual worlds that require the purchase of a toy for entry. Kookeys plush toys cost between $12.99 and $14.99, and their secret codes provide access to the online environment.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether kids want to play with their Kookeys off-line. Does the imaginary world of Kooland add to your pretend play or do you only play with the toy in its online world? By seeing other Kookey characters in the virtual world, does it make you want to collect more Kookeys?
