Design our very own Virtual Dream House
I am always getting inquiries into Virtual Worlds and Games for young girls. Although I generally search for free worlds, occasionally I am impressed with a world which involves a small membership fee, enough to give it a try. The following Virtual World is a young designers dream, and definately worth of my attention. My daughter will go bonkers over this one, so I will share our total experience at a later date. Meanwhile I would like to give some great details straight from the site of Digital Dollhouse, where we are able to design our own Virtual Dream Houses.
Digital Dollhouse is a friendly, safe and closed online environment designed for kids of all ages. There is NO CHAT on Digital Dollhouse and members will never be able to share personal location or other information while on the website. Members can create ‘My Friends’ lists that allow them to view other member’s Digital Dollhouses and give virtual items but no text exchange can occur between members.
It’s Creative!
Digital Dollhouse is all about safe self-expression and community Digital Dollhouse empowers kids to design and furnish their own virtual houses and then change their minds and do it all over again with hundreds of different paint, furniture and wallpaper choices.
It’s Educational!
Our Digital Dollhouses are designed by cultural historians who have selected every item, from furniture to paint color, based on the house’s time period. Many items contain interesting historical facts and the player will learn about the home itself and the people who lived in it.
It’s Fun!
Digital Dollhouse empowers kids to play interior designer as they decorate their rooms – and then change their minds and do it all over again with hundreds of different paint, furniture, accessories and wallpaper choices. They will also be able to collect and purchase animated pets and characters for their homes.
It’s Social!
Members can share their creations by posting “snapshots” of their room designs to a community gallery where they can be rated by other members or enter design contests where they can receive virtual prizes. Members can also view houses as they are being designed by other Digital Dollhouse members all over the world in a safe and contained environment.
How Does It Work?
Subscription or Home Ownership We have several subscription offerings to choose from to suit different pocketbooks. Subscriptions come with Digital Dollhouse Dollars and a Parlor Suite of twenty items to get your child started right away. There is also an option to simply purchase a house outright, and that option comes with DDH Dollars as well.
Micro-Transactions
You can purchase DDH Dollars in the Boutique in varying amounts via credit card. Virtual Items can be purchased in the Boutique via credit card or DDH Dollars. (One Digital Dollhouse Dollar = 1 US cent.) Your child can also earn Dollhouse Dollars by participating in different activities on the site.
Boutique Members can buy and gift virtual furniture and other items in a advertisement free environment in the Digital Dollhouse Boutique. They can purchase virtual items with Digital Dollhouse Dollars that can be acquired as part of the subscription or given via a gift card so no need to worry that your child is actually spending real money.
“Digital Dollhouse was created as ‘wish fulfilment’ for girls,” CEO and Founder Jesyca Durchin said in a statement. “I wanted girls of all ages to have a realistic interactive environment that they could design and control, rather than a cartoon-like technological world that was controlled for them. I truly believe that beauty and technology can co-exist in amazing and wonderful new ways.”
**Personal Endnote -
This does sound fun, and a great way for girls of all ages to express their inner creativity, as well as learning how to manage their Dollhouse dollars in a responsible manner. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, thoughts and/or opinions from those who may already have a personal experience with this Virtual World for girls (and boys too, for that matter). It is free to a limited degree to check out, just so you know. Enjoy!
