What can you use the app for?

Moshi Monsters is a game for Children, it’s sort of like those virtual pets that you used to have, only on the internet and they can actually do things. Moshi Monsters live in a virtual world that exists on your computer, there are lots of different monsters and children can choose one that they want to adopt. This monster then becomes their pet. All of the monsters live in Monstro city; here children can build a home for their pet. Users can also play games with one another, meet other people and show their pet to people. It’s like a tamogotchi only with social networking and doesn’t just beep at you all the time.

Moshi Monsters has been created with the intention of being a fun and safe environment for children to play in. Not only that but it’s also an educational game that’s great fun for any age child. A child who visits the site can adopt a monster; they can give it a cute name and even design the colors of the monster. Every monster is different and has a different personality, the more you play with the monster, the more the personality will develop. Competing and solving puzzles means that you win money, the currency of the game is Rox. You can then use Rox to buy things from the virtual shop. There are various social networking features including blogs, and pin boards.

What is the history and popularity of the app?

Moshi Monsters was created by Mind Candy, a company specializing in producing new multi player and online games. The company was founded in 2003 by Michael Smith and is based in London. Michael Smith was one of the founders of Firebox.com when he was in his early 20’s; firebox is now an extremely popular online retailer.

What are the differences to other apps?

Moshi Monsters is a game that’s designed specifically for children. It’s a safe environment where they can go to meet people that they know safely. Unlike many other video games that concentrate on violence and gore, this one is just for kids. Monsters can be adopted and cared for just like any other virtual pet. The social networking functions make this site much more interesting to use, and the graphics are great.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

The application is designed just for children and so is very easy to use. The colors and designs used are very attractive and make playing the game even more enjoyable. There are also tutorial sections which are designed to help you understand how you should play the game.

How does the registration process work?

If you want to register for an account on Moshi Monsters and you are under the age of 16 then you will first need your parents consent. It’s slightly harder to register an account on Moshi Monsters than other sites; if you click the big “Join now” button then you will be taken to a price list. The free version can be signed up to by clicking the small link at the top of that membership page saying the free version is available here. The first step of the free registration is to select the monster that you want to adopt. You can then design the colors of the monster.

The whole signup process is very easy and designed so that it’s fun and easy for kids to do too. You have to agree to the rules, and then give your monster a name. The adoption papers are the actual sign up form, you need to fill out your name, password and your parents email address. When you enter a name this is actually the username and must be unique, so just putting your first name probably won’t work.
If you’re under 13 then you will need to enter your parents email address, otherwise you can enter your own. Clicking adopt will create your own virtual pet. You then have to check your email address and click the link to activate your account.

What does it cost to use the application?

There are free membership plans to Moshi Monsters, or you can pay. Paying gets you more features although it doesn't seem to say anywhere what these extra features are.

Who would you recommend the application to?

Moshi Monsters is ideal for kids, or big kids that are young at heart!

  • Adopt your very own monster
  • Name your monster and take care of it
  • Social networking functions including blogs and pin boards
  • Play games and earn Rox (virtual money)

All parents and young users should be aware that this site is not 100% safe. Kids can get inappropriate messages on the site. Kids can also be solicited for contact information and once given, they can receive inappropriate (and scary) phone calls and texts. Parent

if all you parents are complaining about it not being saffe, dont let your children play it if you cant teach them when they have to block someone or report someone.and you can add people that are elder than you, for example i am only 10 and i have a bff who is 35 years old and she helps me and is kind and gives me codes. and i have a 6 year old two who if fun and livly. so stop saying moshi monsters suck because if you say it your it. if your child dosent lie or call people names there will be no fights and no reporting and all.

Be careful if you sign up to Moshi Monsters. Once you give them you email they have no way to remove them. I'm really diappionted with this company, most of the games you need to pay membership fees and I bought a toy for a free gift and the company will not give it to her. I have to send proof of purchase for a $1.00 toy.

moshi monsters is a fun site! i have a lot of friends who are really kind and who care. so far i havent really met anyone rude, but like many of you have stated, i think it is better that we look out for bad people and block or report them if they do some inappropriate stuff! but in othere ways, moshi monsters is the best!!!:D

I do notice that some of the people below seem to live in a bubble. As mentioned by one person, you have duties as parents to be involved with what they do on and offline. My child uses moshi & understands that the adults on there are relatives of other children. In addition, I know my child is not as innocent as all, therefore some parents need to really get that idea out of their head. Membership - Yes 2 of the packages automatically renew, but if you cannot be bothered to read the simple instructions on how to cancel or the fact that they renew then you're liable. Just enjoy the features with your child & if you don't want them to receive messages, remove their friends.

Honestly people it's not that hard to use your common sense. If you are a parent complaining about how this site is unsafe, then PARENT YOUR CHILDREN! You can't just throw them onto the web and expect the website to be a guardian! Teach them about not adding 30 year old men, or how to block someone who's being inappropriate. It's ridiculous how many parent won't teach internet safety and expect the website to do all the work. The internet is like the real world... you can't control the actions of other live people.

My daughter is getting inappropriate messages, I've contacted Moshi Monsters and to be honest they don't seem to want to know! Should I contact the Police?? She's only 8 and it doesn't seem fair for her to disrupted in this way!

I am a 12 year old girl & moshi monsters is heavily monitered but if someone changes one letter in a swear or innapproprate word it is acceptable which i think is very bad because then anyone can say anything they want just by changing a couple letters. I dont use moshi monsters as a dating site like some do, but me and my boyfriend both each have our own accounts. I have seen some of the things people say on there & it is inappropriate. This one guy was asking me about things he shouldn't ask about so i reported him and he is still on the site! His username is "towerofprep" so make sure your child doesn't add him! Also I wouldn't reccomend younger children adding anyone in the 13-16 year old range for the reasons above. As long as you are careful who your child friends and talks to moshi monsters is a very enjoyable site!

I am 12 and i have recieved some very inappropriate messages but i blocked the people that did it and reported them. I have noticed that some people use moshi monsters as a dating site and beg random people to be their boyfriend/girlfriend. Unfortunitly no matter how hard moshi monsters tries they can't stop everyone from doing things they're not supposed to on the site. I think that some of the usernames are very gross/inappropriate so i try not to friend those types of people. I usually just talk to friends i know in person from school and sometimes talk to random people but if the start being rude or inappropriate i block them right away. moshi monsters is a safe site under parent supervision and caution

Beware the "1 month membership" is self renewing and cannot be cancelled with your bank, even by closing your account!!! I have manually closed my kids Mosi Monster Premium accounts but will have to wait and see. My bank tells me that I am at their mercy.

Actually the Membership is to keep the site running because having a website costs a lot of money and since there are Gift cards its much cheaper too. So be gratful you don't have to pay as much and add me I am lar1719

Parents beware!!! This site is not safe, not moderated and doesn't meet the minimum standards I expect for online. No way I want my inexperienced kids on here. I did a deep dive on the site for my kids, very concerned with inappropriate comments, friends and discussions.
