 My granddaughter found it to be exciting and very interesting.  She would like to visit and do birthday cards for the entire family.  We did complete a scary scene with sound, text, pictures and all in its predesigned element.

Users have been identifies as young as 2 years old to as old as 90 years of age.  As a teacher , this can be used to make projects more creative and entertaining. Create storylines in a collaborative group setting and promote the understanding  operation of technology . NETS for students can be applied can be incorporated with this site.  For example  in the extended Rubric for grades PK-2, Basic Operations and concepts where students recognize the major hardware components, know how to select applications, recognize technology as a source of information, learning and entertainment and so on.

Students are rewarded with Koins and can purchase things from the store to incorporate in their game. For its creativity and entertainment I would rate it as a 4 star.
