Appondale Theater

As you may know, Animal Jam is expanding, in the game and in the business itself. On May 28, 2015, we received a gift! A new building, or should I say a theater? Now, there is a theater in the Conservation Museum. Those of you who have seen the Jamaa Journal article on it will know how awesome it is!

Tip: You can navigate directly to the Appondale Theater by clicking on the camera roll icon on the upper right corner of the map.

If you decide to go to the theater from the Conservation Museum, there is a new curtain that hides the theater.

In the actual theater, you can watch all of Animal Jam's animated shorts. There is a big flat screen projector, and the video are extremely good quality.

There are nine videos that can be watched from this theater. Again, they are all short animated videos about the "new" animals of Jamaa.

 When you are finished watching all the shorts, let us know which is your favorite for a shout-out! In my opinion, I like "Fowl Play" and "Peck One Already". They are both very funny.

Mechanical Den Items

So many items have arrived since we have last posted that I will be needing to do a huge amount of posts now. First let's start with Mechanical Den Items. If anyone remembers, there was a poll in the Jamaa Journal asking for our opinion on the different sets of items. Here is a picture from an earlier blog post:

When we were gone, Animal Jam chose a winning set! Obviously, the winner was the Mechanical Future. If you were wondering, both hellokittyforlife and I chose the Sand Castle. As of today, June 7, 2015, there are 12 mechanical items in store. Note that these photos were edited to fit into two screenshots.

Which items do you like best? I like the Mechanical Picture of the fox the best! I also think these items best fit the castle. What are your opinions? Comment them down below for a shout-out!

Summer Carnival Part Two.

I almost shouted with joy. But, I couldn't. I was in a classroom, and I had to respect the fact. Anyhow, I decided it was time for a cotton candy break.

Most people know about the Phantom Cotton candy, but if you don't watch this video:

After a yummy cotton candy, I was ready to move on. There were just two more games left to play! I wondered if they could be any better than "Whack-A-Phantom". I chose "Carnival Darts" for no particular reason.

This game was long lived and fun, but not worth the effort.

Now, I was truly anxious. Will the next game be better? I wondered as I quickly hit the game button.

Again, I was disappointed. A total waste of my gems. As much as I was raging, I calmed down and continued to tour the Carnival. I looked at ticket prices, and found I was indeed ripped off.

Next, I looked through Animal Jam's Carnival print-outs:

Finally I went sight seeing. This was relatively fun to do!

That was my long story of the 2015 Summer Carnival that arrived on May 28, 2015. I hope you enjoyed. Before I leave.... I have a special for you. Some Animal Jam downloads!

Summer Carnival Part One....

As I said in my apology, I have missed a lot. I am happy that tests are all over(we finished math finals today). Now, I have all the time in the world to catch up. It is funny looking back at my old posts, seeing how much I need to make up. Anyhow, we will get there, and we can begin with one of the largest updates: Summer Carnival!
On May 27, 2015, everyone was excited! We received a notice letting us know the following day would be the Summer Carnival. I jumped up and down, shouting with glee. That is, until I realized "tomorrow" was 24 hours later. Instead of waiting, I came up with a plan. Sleep early and get up late to play the carnival. In turns out my plans were interrupted by homework. At 9:30 PM, weary and tired, I ran into bed. My luck that the following morning I oversleep. Looks like Animal Jam will have to wait. Well, my anxiety was too strong. My fourth period class was Science. It was perfect: a cart of Chromebooks for us to research. Little did anyone know my plans. So I logged in quickly, overjoying at my luck. What will I do? Open Chrome and type animaljam.com. I entered my username and password, glancing up every few seconds. Don't wanna get caught! So when I get on, a new Jamaa Journal pops up on the screen:

So many updates I saw! What great feeling it was to see all the new updates. I quickly scanned the Jamaa Journal and closed it. It was time for my original plan: SUMMER CARNIVAL! I head to my party menu and select the Summer Carnival.

My first thought is, "CHECK THE CARNIVAL SHOP FOR RACCOON TAILS!!!!" Weird thought, because those tails haven't been around for a while. Obviously, what I see disappoints me. What I see is six items that I can't afford yet. That brings me to think I need tickets. So what is the first game I go for? Well not so fast.... I have to pay to play????? I am shocked for a few seconds. My mind returns and I know exactly what to do. Get on an account that someone else owns, but they put the password on the internet. Not hacking, alright? With the glitched panda, I run over to the first game that comes to mind: Phantom Ball.

After playing once, I realize how bad of a deal this is. I mean check my score out. For five gems, I didn't think this is fair.

Quickly I hit "No". "What a bad game!" I thought. I moved on to a game I have heard about. "Candy Catch". Was my judgement good? Umm no. Out of all the games, "Candy Catch" was the hardest to get tickets. Time to play the game, huh?

Again, my final result was TERRIBLE! I got the minimal amount of tickets probably.

At this point, I was pretty much done with Animal Jam. I mean who wouldn't? But, being optimistic, I told myself I just got really bad luck getting the bad ones first. Luckily I was right. My next choice was a great one. I chose the best game, in my opinion. "Whack-A-Phantom" was my lucky choice.

Now, after playing just once, I knew this game was for me! I did great, better than everything else combined.

(PART TWO COMING SOON....)

Explaining things....

Hi guys! Lilly C. here with a short, but sincere apology. You may have seen hellokittyforlife write a post about stopping the blog. This is not true, as I will be still posting. On the other hand, you may see less of hellokittyforlife. Now, I would like to apologize for not writing in weeks. I would like to tell you why. Today I took my math finals. There were 200 times easier than I thought(thank god!), but I spent a long time studying. I mean, it is worth 150 points of our grade. I really need to do well on the finals so I can get into Algebra in 7th grade(this year I am in 6th). In addition to math finals, we had a lot of tests as teachers wrapped up their teaching. Now don't get me wrong, I still have school until the 15 of June. Things are starting to wind down, though. Now, we only have two history tests, that are open book. I will now be able to post on this blog more often. Especially as summer comes, hopefully we will get new updates on Animal Jam! Again, I am extremely sorry for any confusion we caused, and I hope we still have our readers reading our blog! For a shout-out, comment any improvements you want on this blog!
