History VideoGame / AnimalJam

* DolledUpInstallment: ''Tag with Ryan'', a WebVideo/RyanToysReview video game developed with the help of [=WildWorks=], can be summed up as ''Dash Tag'' but with Ryan [=ToysReview=] characters. The ''Animal Jam''-esque font and settings make this easy to find out.

Bonus points if an ''Animal Jam'' [[CashCowFranchise ad is on this page now]]. Not to be confused with the puppet show [[NamesTheSame with the same name]], ''Literature/AnimalFarm'', ''Music/PearlJam'', or ''Film/SpaceJam''.

* YouMeanXmas: Most holiday events are renamed in the game, just to satisfy all cultures. Valentine's Day is Friendship Festival[[note]]Which also waters down romantic love to platonic love, since the TargetAudience is children[[/note]], St. Patrick's Day is Lucky Day, Easter is Spring Adventure, Fourth of July is Freedom Day, Halloween is Night of the Phantoms, Thanksgiving is Feast of Thanks, and Christmas is Jamaalidays.

* ArtEvolution: Besides from the in-game avatars and environment, the [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DfCVZVC-VrQ/U2Xm4C5NozI/AAAAAAAABh4/Ndt2QanMVWk/s1600/Beta.jpg early art]] had dark colors and realistic looks. As the game lived on, [[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/feuOdM9Hyzrv2Ps-O9_PtJHV7PrPGUf1AFoozkmaGmb4jT0rTgRSEAh8r-JlebMLIg=h556 art adapted a cartoon-look and bright colors]].
** TheArtifact: The art style used for the avatars in-game could be considered his, since they barely look like the current promotional art style.P

* HulkSpeak: Subverted with the Tiki statues in the "Tiki Trouble" adventure. They speak in broken English, but are able to grasp onto complex English words (such as "pearl", "banana").

* MysteryBox: Oh boy, Animal Jam has lots of lootboxes.
** The gift boxes won on the Daily Spin
** The chests given out as rewards for completing an adventure
** The pet egg, which hatches out a random pet

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: In Jamaa, everyone is a CivilizedAnimal and no humans can be sighted among the animals. However, humans are put into the game's educational content, such as a page in the Otter Mini-book and the videos showing Brady Barr, because MostWritersAreHuman.

This game takes place in Jamaa, a SugarBowl country created by the deities Mira and Zios that is populated by [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife technicolor]] CivilizedAnimals [[PatchworkMap divided into and comprised of several different biomes]]. [[SugarApocalypse Not all is peaceful]], however, as Phantoms, octopus-like creatures that are AnthropomorphicPersonification of pollution, are causing havoc by invading the lands and seas, and spreading pollution wherever they go. It's up to the player and the Alphas to stop them by going on "Adventures", though doing so is completely optional.

* CivilizedAnimal: Every anthropomorphic animal, including the players and Alphas. However, Liza is more of a borderline FunnyAnimal.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Jamaa looks like [[SugarBowl a nice paradise for any animal to be in]], with all sorts of biomes, colorful things, and everyone smiling! However, beware, phantoms go around polluting, spreading darkness, and trapping any animal they find.

-->But today, all is not well in Jamaa. [[SugarApocolypse A mysterious dark force has crept into the land, stealing away animals and ruining the beauty of Jamaa.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Even though there's moderation, it doesn't always catch actions resembling sexual behavior and furniture arranged to [[PrecisionFStrike spell out profane words]]. This has resulted in [[MoralGuardians complaints from parents]]; see this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G1hvWBj0kI news report for an example]].[[note]]Despite being reported in 2015, the video clip used in the news report [[CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer was from probably 2011-2013]], when the game was taking its baby steps.[[/note]]

** Access all adventures, while Non-members get only 5, including the ''training grounds''. Non-members also only have access to only ''one'' aquatic adventure, which currently has a GameBreakingBug that prevents the player from proceeding further than the first water current. They can also host adventures. Thankfully as of January 18, 2018, however, all of the adventures besides The Forgotten Desert have been opened up to non-members.
** They can buy all the pets. Non-members can only buy 3, and 1 of those 3 include the pet Joey, which has to be obtained in the non-free app.

* {{Precursors}}: The ancient animals, mentioned with the Temple of the Ancients.

* RolePlayingGame: ''Animal Jam'' may be a MassivelyMultiplayerRolePlayingGame, but more on the casual side. The Adventures are the real roleplaying games.
** Players often roleplay in a casual way, most commonly in a ''Literature/Warriors''-esque clan roleplay or "house" roleplay.

Animal Jam is an MMO {{Fantasy}} 'online playground', plus EdutainmentGame, by [[Creator/SmartBombInteractive WildWorks]] (formerly Smart Bomb Interactive), who were previously known for producing a few {{Licensed Game}}s, partnered with [[Magazine/NationalGeographic National Geographic Society]]. It's like VideoGame/ClubPenguin, except with more animals (and penguins) and that it takes place in a fantasy world.

* VideoGame3DLeap: Done with the mobile apps, most notably ''Animal Jam: Play Wild!''

Not all is peaceful, however, as mysterious creatures called Phantoms are causing havoc by invading the lands and seas, and spreading pollution wherever they go. It's up to the player and the powerful band of Alpha animals to stop them by going on "Adventures", though doing so is completely optional.

* FloatingMask: Zios is just a floating mask with no body.

* {{Fantasy}}: Thanks to the mumbo jumbo of magical gemstones, phantoms, Alphas with magical powers, and all sorts of stuff, it's safe to say that Animal Jam is basically a fantastic metaphor of biology, the animal kingdom, and ecology.

** This can be invoked by the players in Club Geoz itself, thanks to it being disco-themed.

* {{Mordor}}: Wherever phantoms hang out. It's not pretty.

* SugarApocolypse: When the phantoms came in and destroyed most of Jamaa.

* BubbleloopSwamp: Baloosh.

* EndlessRunningGames: ''Dash Tag'' is supposed to be this
