Time Island Virtual World: A review



Miss M and I were recently given the opportunity to explore the virtual game Time Island.  In not so many words, Miss M loved it!  What is Time Island?  It is a Survivor type game that tests your skills to outwit, outlast and out maneuver the creepy creatures show above, the Goggs.

There are so many things to explore and do in this virtual world.  Time literally flies when you are on it and that can be a good thing and a not so good thing!  One thing that Miss M love to do was the Fashion Passion area where she could dress a character any way she wanted in a wide array of choices.  From hair style to clothes to accessories, the decisions to be made were seemingly endless and right up a six year olds alley.

I think Miss M would get even more out of this game as she gets older.  You can form tribes and really use strategy to beat those Goggs.  This is a skill that she really doesn't have yet but perhaps when she is 8 or 10 will really get into.

Time Island is still in the beta form so it is working out all the kinks, etc.  Still, I encourage you to check it out with your kids.  It is not mindless internet entertainment and is a fun thing to explore as a family.
