Typically, that means a Jumpee will run around, seeing other players playing, who they can interact with, in a social, uncompetitive manner. Your two boys <em>could </em>play side by side, in the same online world, if they were sitting at two separate computers, both with internet connectivions. Does that explain things? Feel free to throw us another comment if you need any clarification. Best, The JumpStart Team Hi Mallory,

I have 2 boys and the one player games just don't work out for us.

At the moment, only 15 Jumpeez are allowed in each "server" or instance of the game. Unfortunately, this means there is no guarantee that 2 players will be able to find each other online, as each person who logs in enters the first available slot. However, we are working on a buddy list system which will allow players to invite their friends in the same server so they can play together. In fact, we are planning to build a "neighborhood" where kids will see their house and the houses of all their buddy list friends! We are currently aiming for a release in early October, so stay tuned! Hi Jenny,

The other day we recommend it to her friend and she signed on right away. Two kids' jumpees met right there on the dance stage, it was a lot of fun, screaming with excitements. However, that was the end of it. no matter how hard we (two families) try, we cannot get the two jumpees to appear online at the same time. is there a trick for this? thanks My daughter has been test drive jump start and so far we are impressed.

We're guessing he's playing online at JumpStart.com. If your son has been playing in StoryLand, he should try moving up to AdventureLand- that area's designed for kindergarteners through second graders. If you're a member, you can also download our retail games from the "Downloadables" area of the "Manage Account" section for some extra gameplay. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions! Best, The JumpStart Team Hi, Cecibel-

We go to the communicator and it says more missions coming soon! He's talked to the dog and he pretty much says the same thing. Is there something we are missing or is it that you guys haven't added anymore to it? Thanks in advance, would love to see my son advance in his education, he's entering kindergarten and is getting frustrated that there isn't anything else to do in Jumpeez.

Because the virtual world is pretty large and we only allow a limited number of players to see one another at a time, you may just have to work a little harder to find the other Jumpeez. Try the dance floor or outside the Jumpee creator, where players like to congregate. If your Internet connection was disrupted for some reason, it's possible that the other Jumpeez temporarily disappeared. If this happens again, just wait about a minute and the connection should reset. Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks, The JumpStart Team Hi, Heather!
