Moshi Monsters is a website where players can adopt a virtual pet monster and collect Moshlings. The monsters have to be fed and played with. Players can also buy clothes and other items for the monster. Players earn credits (called 'Rox') by solving puzzles and playing simple games. These puzzles test skills such as basic math, spatial awareness, logic, counting, anagrams and vocabulary.[1] You you can collect over 200 moshlings, all which come in sets in different themes like 'Movies' or 'Puppies.'.There is also an app called Moshi monsters egg hunt.
The website is run by the British company Mind Candy and is designed for children of all ages. This game encourages players to socially network with each other.[2] The basic game is free, but if a membership is purchased there are more extras, including an increasing of the number of 'friends' you can have from 0 to 10000. It has been described as 'Tamagotchi meets Facebook.'[3] The game is designed for parents looking for a safe and advertisement free site for young children.[3] The site does, however, promote and sell toys linked to the game.[4] The site opened in November 2007, and by early 2009 had over 1.5 million players.[1]
Moshlings, (released September 9th, 2008), are very cute, cool and collectible creatures for your Moshi Monsters to catch. They are obtained by planting various types of seeds in your Moshling Garden. Moshi Members can keep up to 6 Moshlings in their room, whilst ordinary players can keep only 2.
There are six types of monster you can adopt:
- Poppet
- Furi
- Luvli
- Katsuma
- Diavlo
- Zommer
