The following games like Animal Jam allow you to unleash your creativity and learn a thing or two while having fun. Animal Jam is an online virtual playground that offers some awesome treats for folks who love the great outdoors. This endeavor is a joint venture by National Geographic Global Media and Smart Bomb Interactive. In here, you can create your very own characters, decorate your dens and socialize with others in a safe environment.
It’s packed with cool critter facts, pop quizzes and mini-quests too. Although Adobe Flash will be pulled on 31st December 2020 and thus render the game unplayable in your browser, you can still download and keep playing it on your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android device. And in case you’re looking for similar fun alternatives just for a change of pace, here are our top six picks PLUS two honorable mentions.
1. Poptropica
But the developers have pledged to continue supporting Poptropica for Android, iOS and web. Advertisements in the form of mini-games by sponsors like Lego and Disney sometimes make their appearance in this RPG. But overall, it is an engaging and safe online environment for kids and tweens to play around in.
2. Roblox
To start playing — sign up for an account, customize your chosen avatar and choose from a vast range of user-generated adventures such as Murder Mystery, Dungeon Quest, Zombie Stories, Jailbreak and more. Roblox has a filtration system to remove inappropriate content from chats and a host of parental control options to ensure a secure online playing field for young members. Free to play with optional in-game purchases, it is supported on Android, iOS, PC, Mac and Xbox One.
3. Slither.io
At the same time, you have to take care to protect your head and not bang into other players or the map borders. It gets more and more difficult to do so as you grow bigger. Those who die burst into ‘food pellets’ that can be eaten by the rest of the worms. You can also try to kill opponents by circling them, thus forcing them to bump into you and die. Play this title for free (in-app purchases available) on Windows PC, Android, iOS, or supported browsers.
4. Wizard101
Wizard101 by KingsIsle Entertainment is a popular MMORPG that can be downloaded on Mac or Windows PC. In this game, you play as a student of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts who specializes in one particular school — Fire, Ice, Storm, Myth, Life, Death, or Balance. The gameplay principally involves you dueling with an opponent by yourself or as a team, by casting spells based on your skillset.
You can customize your character, own a magical pet, traverse through different magical worlds, fight powerful bosses, maintain a dwelling with a garden and even do some fishing! Since this title is aimed at a young audience, interaction among players in chats is carefully controlled to weed out inappropriate content.
5. FeralHeart
It’s perfect for those who like the idea of rambling in the skin of a customized critter through vast landscapes painted in old-timey graphics, and chatting with folks online. The chat boundaries have been localized so that you have to be on the same map as other players to talk with them.

On top of this, the new maps are gigantic. This means you can peacefully roam the hillsides all by yourself if you want to, or find company and chat or role-play as animals.
In case you’re totally new to FeralHeart, check out the above YouTube video by user Ranstone or online forums to see how to sign up and launch the game.
6. Pirate101
This game’s narrative takes place in the galaxy of Spiral. Here, you put on your leather boots and sail around in your ship in search of forbidden treasures and opponents to fight. There are bosses to defeat, board games to indulge in and pets to train among other side activities. You can get a taste of the free trial on Skull Island and even go up a few levels before you decide whether you want to pay for a membership or not. So why not give it a spin and see if it’s your kind of caper?
Honorable mention 1# Among Us
The animations are largely mild enough to raise no objections about how the ‘eliminations’ are depicted and players can form teams only with people they know, if they want to. The in-built chat may be censored to filter out inappropriate language, although it is not password protected and can be turned off easily. Suitable for tweens and teens, it is available for Android, iPhone, PC and Nintendo Switch. The Xbox version is expected in 2021.
Honorable mention 2# WolfQuest
Players can also come together to form a pack and go on wild hunts in multiplayer mode. This title was originally funded by grants but is now a paid one that’s available for Mac, PC, Android and iOS. You can still download the older, free version from the Internet if you’d like to give it a go.
Conclusion:
Now if you love what Animal Jam has to offer kids and young adults alike, then we’re sure you’ll appreciate every one of the games like Animal Jam listed out here. Some other popular browser-based titles that need Adobe Flash Player are moving to launchers so they can stay running. We’ll keep refreshing this list as and when the developers provide updates.
