My other favourite game was not created by Three Rings (the creators of Whirled), but instead by one of the many indie flash developers taking advantage of the Whirled platform to share their games. Emerald Activities new game, Create and Rate, certainly fits in with the Whirled spirit of creativity and player imagination. In it you use premade pieces, which you can colour, pattern and arrange, to make your own picture, which is then rated by your fellow players to see who has made the winning creation. Categories for the game include fashion, horses, dragons, and prehistoric.
I had so much fun with this, either by trying to weird out my fellow players, or completely throw the category and theme out the window (this is in the "Horse" mode game):
Or recreating movie scenes (this is in "Fashion" game mode):

And I think I'll stop there all I'll want to post all of the 20 or so scenes that I liked enough to use the game option that lets me save it to my hard drive. I'll try to embed it below - if you like puzzles and creating things, I recommend you give it a go!
Looks interesting, is there a kids version anywhere? Looks like you've been having a lot of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteWhirled is 13+ (because it's fairly open, there are always going to be some swear bears popping up, so I'd definitely agree with the 13+ rating) but the makers of Create and Rate have some different versions on their home site http://www.emeraldactivities.com/ which don't have quite as many features but are still fun. There are also colouring pages you can print out or colour online and other activies, so looks like fun for young kids. Also yesterday I was looking at a new online social networking site set up by a Brisbane mum - https://www.ekidnaworld.com/ - which is set up for the 8-12 bracket (and I would say even younger, as the restricted chat seems very safe). That is worth a look for kids too young for Whirled.
