MMO/Multiple Jumpeez Answers

Is MMO Safe?

  • YES, player interaction in JumpStart is completely safe. There are two modes of chat, both of which are designed to keep your child safe. Safe Menu Chat allows players to communicate using only a limited list of questions, answers, greetings, and phrases preselected by JumpStart. This is our default and most restricted mode of chat. Safe Type Chat allows players to type in and send their own messages, as long as all parts of these messages appear in our database of approved words and phrases. This mode must be activated by a parent. Please note: Safety is our top priority at JumpStart.com, and we are constantly improving and evolving our chat database, but messages that may be offensive to some players may get through the filters in Safe Type Chat Mode. Since parents know their kids best, we ask that you select the perfect level of interaction for your child.

Can I turn this feature (MMO) on and off?

  • YES, once you are logged-in, under the Parents section of JumpStart.com, there is a Manage Kids button that allows you to enable or disable MMO and Safe Type Chat for each child on your account separately.

Can I turn off the display name above my Jumpeez head? Can I turn off the name for other Jumpeez heads?

  • YES, click on the yellow ‘options’ button located in the bottom left head corner in the game. At the bottom there is a ‘Display Names’ section which allows you to enable or disable the names above the Jumpeez heads for your Jumpee or all other Jumpeez in the game.
