Game Guide - JumpStart

The Jumpee Creator: The Jumpee Creator is an interactive menu where players are able to fully customize their in-game avatar, known as their Jumpee. After choosing their Jumpee’s gender, kids are encouraged to choose from a variety of accessories, hairstyles, facial features, seasonal fashion options, and so much more. This fantastic feature allows players to express themselves in a unique and exciting way. The Jumpee creator is accessible at any time and can be opened from each player’s character dock. Within the Jumpee Creator, players also have direct access to JumpStart’s Threadz store where they will be able to buy new items to customize their Jumpee’s look.

Choosing a Name: Jumpee usernames are created when players begin to build their fully customizable avatar. Usernames are generated using our JumpStart “Name Randomizer”, which allows Jumpeez to create two or three word name combinations that are used to identify players both in game and through player submissions or fan features. These fun yet generic usernames allow kids to safely create their own identity without having to share personal or identifiable information while online. Players are able to change their name at any time, by selecting their communicator and using the “Name Change” button.

Earning JumpStars and Ranking Up: To rank up players will need to play through missions like those found in areas like StoryLand, MarineLand, AdventureLand, FutureLand, and Penguin HQ or complete other in-game tasks to earn JumpStars, achievements, and unlock special features around the game. A player’s rank is then determined by the number of JumpStars they have earned overall, which can be viewed using the counter in the upper right hand corner of the gaming window. Top ranked players are then placed in our Jumpee Hall Of Fame, which can be opened by selecting the Communicator and clicking on the “JumpStars” button.

Earning Coins and Customizing the Game: In addition to JumpStars, Jumpeez are also awarded coins for playing games and completing in-game tasks. To view the number of coins that a player has already earned, Jumpeez can look to the coin counter in the upper right hand corner of their gaming window. Double clicking on the counter will also open up a menu, listing all of our JumpStart stores. Players are encouraged to purchase store items to customize their gaming experience with new Threadz, Petz, Ridez, wands, Mythie accessories, furniture, and so much more. Kids are able to increase their earning potential by competing in more of our learning games and missions.

Adding Buddies: There are two ways for kids to safely add real world buddies and new online friends in JumpStart. Additionally, parents can always view and manage their kids’ Buddy Lists using the “Manage Kids” option listed in their account settings. Jumpeez can be added to a buddy list using each player’s unique Jumpstart Buddy Code or by simply selecting another Jumpee and hitting the add button on their corresponding “About Me” page. Adding a friend to your Jumpee’s Buddy List allows players to see when they are online and quickly access them for game challenges, visits, and messaging.

Exploring the World: Players can manually navigate our online world by using the arrow keys to direct their Jumpee. For quicker access to certain areas or lands, players are also encouraged to use the JumpStart Map on their character dock to teleport directly to their chosen location. There is even a Quick Launch menu, which gives Jumpeez direct access to some of our most popular games. There are so many things to do and see, so keep exploring!
