The Enchanted Sanctuary: Eggling 101

Posted on May 16, 2012 by JumpStart

We talk a lot about Mythies here on the blog, so it’s about time that we give your kids a lesson on our other enchanted companions, the Egglings! After all, every mythie whether it’s a Dragon, a Pegasus, or a Hornhowlie, starts out as a little egg.

Do your kids have an eggling of their own?

If they haven’t done so already, have your kids take a visit to The Enchanted Sanctuary to get an eggling pal of their own. These cute companions are an absolute dream to adventure with through JumpStart! And by securing their Eggling and completing all of Ivy’s tasks, your kids will even be rewarded with a few coins and jumpstars to help them rise through our ranks!

Fiesta Time Hunt

Posted on May 9, 2012 by JumpStart

How have your kids been doing with our Fiesta Time Hunt? For any of them not already familiar with the term “fiesta,” tell them that it means “party” in Spanish. We celebrated this past Cinco de Mayo holiday in JumpStart by throwing a fiesta of our own!

As part of that celebration, Frankie hid a few festive items around DownTown and MainStreet for your kids to find with their Jumpeez. Your child should have received a message to their Jumpee’s communicator telling them all about it! They can also view the full list of hidden items there by selecting the “Scavenger Hunt” button from the menu. Get started now and see how many items your kid can find!

Think your kids have what it takes to finish this mission in time? Then get them hunting because this fun activity will only be around for a limited time! And any player that finds all the items will be receiving a few extra coins to spend around the game. Let us know what you think of the scavenger hunt or if you’ve ever had a fiesta of your own to celebrate!
