Positive, empowering journey awaits at safe new 'virtual world' for Tweens
TORONTO, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - A groundbreaking, safe and
empowering social network, called BunkiMunki(TM), provides "Tweens" (ages
7-15) with a unique opportunity to navigate a voyage of personal growth
as they mature into their teenage years.
http://www.BunkiMunki.com is a safe, meaningful virtual world aimed at providing kids with the
motivation to become positive thinkers and ultimately, confident and
well-rounded young adults.
Kids can join BunkiMunki(TM) for free and immediately have fun by
customizing their own alias in the likeness of BunkiMunki(TM), the brand
character. They can create their own home space with realistic décor to
suit their own individual style and personality. With activities like
journal writing, music creation, earning badges, and playing games,
kids will be rewarded with Bunki Bucks, a virtual currency. Bunki Bucks
earned can be used to make purchases at the virtual store, The
Emporium.
Tweens will be encouraged to participate in age-relevant and fun
activities to help them "Unlock the Power of Happiness(TM)". In each personal online journal, members are encouraged to write
daily and keep track of their emotions on a Happiness Meter. Kids are
inspired to participate in fun off-line activities where they earn
collectable badges while building lifelong skills. A Premium Membership
offers unlimited access to social media features including Chat,
Friends and more.
Safety is a cornerstone for http://www.BunkiMunki.com. As a result, the site is designed to maximize security with privacy
features such as a "no real/full names" policy and a language filter.
The site is COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) compliant
and is certified by Privo, an FTC-approved, neutral third-party service
provider whose core business is to enable companies to initiate and
manage responsible and effective online relationships by adhering to
best practices when dealing with communities that attract kids to their
websites.
Along with the social network, a line of BunkiMunki(TM) products will be
hitting specialty stores across the U.S. and Canada beginning
mid-November. The BunkiMunki(TM) plush toy is a huggable replica of the
online character available in six fashion colors. BunkiMunki(TM) keys are
cool, wearable accessories available in a variety of designs. Both
girls and boys will want to collect them all and enjoy a sense of
kinship with other BunkiMunki(TM) members as they "Unlock the Power of Happiness(TM)". All products come with a Bonus Code redeemable for virtual currency
at http://www.BunkiMunki.com.
As parents struggle to protect their kids from growing up too quickly,
in a world that is spinning fast, there is a need for a safe online
community geared especially for tweens. BunkiMunki(TM) is a brand that
encourages kids to mature, safely spread their wings, and happily
discover their values and their full potential.
