Have Fun on Animal Jam

Animal Jam is a fun online game where users choose an animal to play as and then personalize the animal's look with different patterns and colors and later on with clothing. Here is an article on how to have fun on this website.

Steps

Getting Started

  1. Create an account if you haven't already. To do this, go to http://www.animaljam.com/signin and select the 'Create An Animal'. Enter in your username, birth date, email address, age, password, gender, and don't forget to agree to the terms and conditions. Then make your account. You will see a bunny named Peck. Follow her and do what she says. Your username will appear to be "new jammer" because AJHQ is reviewing it.
  2. Choose a server. Busy ones are great, but you may not get a spot in Jamaa Township (Animal Jam's main area) and may be sent to another area because Jamaa Township is full. Jamaa Township is where people trade and host fashion shows, hotels, restaurants, salons, parties, etc. Try and host some!
  3. Buy some clothing. Explore Jamaa Township (where you will probably end up) and go to Jam Mart Clothing to buy clothes. There are also several shops around Jamaa that sell clothes. Check the shops every Monday for a rare item! Don't buy too much as you will need a bit of money for the next step.

Decorating

  1. Go to your den and decorate it. To go to your den, click on the button that looks like a house at the bottom of the screen. Then, explore the buttons on the screen until you find a button that opens up a store. This store will let you buy items for your den. Buy some to customize your den a little! Try decorating your den a little different than you normally do. When you start out, animal jam offers you a wooden table and rug. Go in the shops to see what's new.

Playing Games

  1. Play games that can earn you gems or prizes. Gems are the main currency in the game. Diamonds are a bit rarer than gems but you still have a chance to get them in the daily spin! Make sure you know how to play the game, and read the rules; then you'll have a much better time. Falling Phantoms is the game to get the most gems in the fastest possible time.
  2. Glitches are annoying. So, when the game glitches, or someone glitches the game, remain calm, play a different game, or log off and come back on later. Sometimes in multiplayer games the game fails to start and there is an error message that pops up.
  3. If you are new, do some single player games. They are really easy. As your first game, try an easy and basic one. There is no need to rush.
  4. On games that have the option, "Play Pro", play multiple times so you can unlock this feature. Playing as a pro means extra gems, but it is harder.
  5. Play some minigames. Press on the map and choose an area to go to. Explore that area until you find a minigame (represented by the picture of a video game controller), click on the minigame, read the instructions and select 'Play Game'.
  6. Play on the claw machine. The claw machine is basically a minigame where you move a claw left and right and then drop the claw and see if you got a prize like a plushie or cushion. Each round costs 5 gems (Animal Jam currency). This can be really fun and you can win awesome Plushies!
  7. Go to the Aquarium and find the game named "Tierney's Touch Tank" and play it. It is very fun and somewhat challenging to find the animals and to not scare them away once you've found them.
  8. Earn gems. Games can earn you gems quickly, and the best ones to try are Falling Phantoms, Best Dressed is quite popular, or, if you want some more fun, try games like Sky High or any multiplayer game like adventures.

Making Friends

  1. Make some friends. An animal with no friends usually quits Animal Jam early because they are bored. Your friends can play games together, talk, be in clans together, trade, and do many more stuff with you!
  2. Join another animal's clan! Clans are from the popular Erin Hunter series, Warriors, and you can join one.

Watching Movies

  1. Go to the Movie Theater. Play the popcorn mini game to get some popcorn, go into the theater, select a video to watch (they aren't actually movies), and enjoy the show! During the movie say, "*munches on popcorn*" until the popcorn icon disappears. When the popcorn disappears, say, "*finishes popcorn*". Then watch the show (which will be a short nature film) until the 'movie' is done! Then, if you want to, say something like "That was a great movie!" or, "I loved that movie!" Then you can either watch another movie or you can follow the next step(s).

Visiting Areas

  1. Explore Animal Jam on foot! There are some places in Animal Jam that you can't get to using the map like the Canyon Trail, and you might just meet a new buddy along the way!
  2. Explore Animal Jam using the map. There are plenty of fun things to do in each location. Some of these things are slides, mini games, shops, statues and fun facts about nature.
  3. Go to the Canyon, go to the rock bridge, use the 'Jump' action, and say, "Jump on the bridge with me!" People will almost always join in. If enough animals jump on the center of the bridge, you will see huge cracks appearing in the bridge! The bridge will never break, but it's fun to try!
  4. Go to the Pillow Room and adopt a baby or be a baby yourself. Say, "I'm here to adopt a baby!" if you're adopting or "I need a mama/papa!" if you're looking to be adopted. If no one is in the Pillow Room, go to the Town Square and say "If you want to be adopted, go to the Pillow Room!" or "If you want to adopt me, go to the Pillow Room!" Then be a very nice mom/baby and don't be mean at all (although if you are a baby you can act sick or get hurt, just not too much).

Working

  1. Make a business or event and advertise it. If you are a member, some good ideas for a business are a restaurant, a zoo, a big orphanage/daycare/kindergarten school, a party at your den, or a big fashion show. For a non-member, some good ideas are a small orphanage/daycare/kindergarten, a class of some sort (drama classes are great), shops (pizza parlor, Starbucks, etc), a small fashion show or a party at somewhere other than your den (like Club Geoz). Set up your event/business, and advertise by saying, "*Insert name of event here* at *insert location here (it's usually your den)*!" Then, start the event!
  2. Get a job. Go to the Town Square and see if anyone is advertising a restaurant or saying that they need employees. If the are, go to their den and say that you want to be an employee. Tell them if you want to advertise, be a chef, or be a waiter/waitress. If you can't find anyone advertising a restaurant, go to the Aquarium, the Hot Cocoa Hut, or the Smoothie Hut and work there. If you are at the Aquarium, give tours of the Aquarium to the animals who come in. of you are at the Hot Cocoa Hut or Smoothie Hut, pretend to get the animals a drink. If someone is already working at your potential workplace, ask to be hired and prepare for a job interview because they might give you one. If nobody is there, just start working!
  3. Make an advice center or ask then what their biggest dream is. Go to the Town Square and say, "Advice Center! Follow me to get free advice!" Then, if anyone comes, give them whatever advice they need. Or ask them their biggest dream, for example, ask "What is your biggest dream?" They may say something strange like "I want to be eaten alive by a giant". Be respectful and ask them why that is their biggest dream and you could for fill that dream by helping or roleplaying.
  4. Become a tour guide.You can go to Jamaa township and yell, "Follow me for a tour of Jamaa!" Or yell, " Come to my den if you want a tour! Buddy your tourists (AKA followers) and start touring the beauty of Jamaa!
  5. Be a doctor. Buy a stethoscope and doctor's bag. Have a hospital or doctor's office at your den, or go to the Medical Center. Wait for patients
    • Ask your patient what's wrong.
    • Tell them to sleep.
    • Say "Helps patient".
    • Tell them they can get up, then say goodbye.

Going Aquatic

  1. Get 1000 gems, buy a new animal avatar, and make the animal an aquatic animal (you will only be able to get a seal, penguin, and a turtle if you're not a member) and explore the underwater areas of Animal Jam. It is very fun to explore these stages because you can collect different plants/animals and add them to your scrapbook. To collect them, simply click on them. It is also fun because you can run away from 'vicious' underwater animals like sharks and crocodiles who might attack you, or if you are a 'vicious' underwater animal like a shark or a crocodile, you can chase after 'prey' or pick fights with other 'tough' predators.

Partying and Entertainment

  1. Host a party at your den! Parties are of the things jammers love to do. Look at the how to host a party on animal jam article for more ideas. Who knows-you could become popular, or even on the epic dens list!
  2. Make a music video, movie, short clip, skit, or any kind of video with your animal and friends. Then you can post it online for others to watch and you may become popular. If you have lots of parties, other Jammers might start to come to your den more often and you might get on the Epic Den list!

Food and Drinks

  1. Get a drink. Go to the Hot Cocoa Hut if it's wintertime or Captain Melville's juice hut (it's the drink hut on the beach) if it's summertime. Play the Smoothie or Hot Cocoa minigame to get the drink. Pretend to drink the drink until the drink icon disappears.

Tips

  • If people are making fun of you stay away from that person and report them.
  • If you are a dragon or other creature you can't just buy in the animal store, ignore people who make fun of you. Ex: You are a Dragon Hatchling by using a bunny wearing wings and a dragon mask(optional) and a person comes up to you and say "You're just a bunny!" Those people lack imagination and doesn't know what it's like to be bullied.
  • Don't be rude to the people who bother you or you might get suspended or banned, but be sure to report them if they are breaking the rules. If they are just pesky, then you can block them, and you won't see their chat.
  • Do fashion shows. Everyone loves them, especially when you give a prize to the winner when the show is over.
  • Animal Jam is sometimes more fun with buddies, You can try inviting them to parties and celebrations just for fun.If you don't have buddies, you could always get a YouTube account and record the fun that you are having in Animal Jam!
  • Remember to use nice language to other Jammers then they might want to play with you more.
  • Don't buddy random people. Get to know them and see if they're nice or not. You don't want to buddy a scammer.
  • Don't trade for a living on Animal Jam. Trading gets boring after a while, so just to be safe, don't trade for a living, Don't even start trading if you don't want to get into a bad habit. People may say it's fun, but don't do it all the time.
  • Buy all the colors of items right when they come out because AJHQ might remove one or two variations and make them very rare.

Warnings

  • If you are a member, don't be mean to non-members.
  • Avoid scams. Scams are when jammers say things like, Trust me to get spikes! or, Trust Trading party my den! or, Send me a party hat, you'll get a founder hat! People do this to steal items.
  • Watch out- If you fight too hard, you might be seen as a bully.
  • Choose to fight, or don't bother! You might be suspended for a day, a week, or possibly forever!
  • Avoid becoming a rare collector or you'll be obsessed. Rare collectors are people who would most likely quit if there was no such thing as rares. This can happen to anyone. This can also make you a scammer yourself. Don't be that person. Remember to follow the rules, and don't trade too much.
  • Avoid being scammed. Scamming is against the terms and conditions; more than that though, it is mean, and very hard to handle. To make sure you don't get tricked, follow these suggestions:
    • Only use the trading system. Do not send anyone anything for any reason.
    • Make sure the trade is fair. It is called, "swindling" when someone trades you a lesser value item for your better value one.
    • Don't send people gifts when they say, "It's my b-day, send me stuff!" or, when they say this, "Heart attack me, and i'll heartattack you!" or when they need something for a 'video' and say this, "Send me items for a video, you will get to be in it and I will give the stuff back!" They usually never give the stuff back.
    • Don't go to flash trading parties. Being flash traded is technically being scammed.
    • Don't trade, or send gifts if you feel uncomfortable.
