BittyBay

BittyBay is a safe online, virtual, multiplayer animal kingdom for kids where you can meet new friends, play games, collect items and avatars, create your own personal space and more! BittyBay is constantly moderated by trained staff and is a safe online hangout for kids and teens.

Themed around a mysterious tropical island, users play within BittyBay as animal avatars in a real-time and beautifully rich pixelated environment. Whilst there is no single primary objective to the game, there are many things for players to do within the animal kingdom.

While the original game has closed, a revival by fans is in work and available to play at http://bittyretro.com

Most of the original game features are active as well as a few new additions! Beginners will earn 500 bits for registering and additional bits are available by playing mini games.

Game Features
Besides being both a fantastic and safe way for players to make new friends from around the world, users can also take part in community events, go on quests together, participate in games and competitions, build their own custom made rooms (territories), earn their way to riches or fame, take part in discussion groups, or just soak up the ambiance.

Free to play
BittyBay is free to play indefinitely. However, there are premium services available that require payment with real money to obtain. Such services include the purchase of virtual items, avatars, game tickets, and more. But, your child is able to play without purchasing any of these additional extras! They can also earn the virtual currency and prizes by participating in games, events, and competitions.

The fan revival is 100% free with no premium features!
