Build-A-Bearville is a fun virtual world for kids created by Build-A-Bear Workshop with more product options.
Kids can collect virtual money and use it to buy accessories, clothing and more within the game for their bear.
Sign Up
Kids can sign up for free, however to access all features of the site users must own a Build-A-Bear that includes an animal ID & key code found on the birth certificate of their furry friend. There are also links to the Build-A-Bear product site.
Features for Kids
Kids can create their own human character to express their personality by choosing hair style, fashion style, skin color and more with over 200,000 options.
There are many fun games to play while on the site, our two favorite games were Canine Care and Pie Eating Contest, but there are many more to choose from.
“Bear Bills” are earned by playing games and going on animal adventures with your furry friends. Users can visit stores within Build-A-Bearville to use Bear Bills to buy virtual clothing and accessories for their character, plus décor for their cub condo.
There are many fun areas to explore – the Town Square, Pawforming Arts Center, Sportsplex and much more.
Parent Features & Concerns
Build-A-Bearville has two chat options – safe chat which limits users to a pre-approved list of common words and phrases and open filtered chat (open only to users with a Build-A-Bear code).
For younger kids, this may easily lead to hurt feelings since other users can easily ignore their request to chat or be friends. The chatting system prevents the exchange of personal information and details.
