There are free Moshi Monster accounts available which gives you the basic version of the game. Moshi Monster is a free online game for kids whereby they ‘adopt’ a monster and look after it. It is an interactive game that is educational to children as in order to ‘care for their monster,’ users must complete puzzles and solve problems. These puzzles are aimed at improving your child’s vocabulary, arithmetic, logic and spatial skills and get more difficult each day to ensure your child is stimulated and challenged. However, if your child is struggling with the puzzles, the difficulty level will decline until they improve, thus tailoring itself to each child’s learning needs. By completing the puzzles correctly the kids are ‘rewarded’ with virtual rewards called Rox, which they can then spend on virtual items such as food, furniture and treats for their moshi monster. This encourages users to try hard and complete the puzzles which challenge them to think creatively, hypothesise, strategize and manage resources.
In order to play the game, kids must become ‘users’ which needs the approval of their parents. Once a child or a parent registers on Moshi Monster, an email is sent to the parents' contact email address to confirm their consent that their child can play the game. Once registration consent is given, your child is able to invite friends into his or her network so that they can have a ‘forum-like’ discussion about the game and engage in online communication with other players. These messages are filtered and then approved or disapproved by the
gaming site's system to ensure the content is acceptable before they appear online.
