Moshi Monsters

This is a web site my sagelings introduced me to some time ago. It is one of those social networking sites set up for children. Originally I signed up so we could play together. Eventually they got bored with it and abandoned it. However, I persisted and tonight my Katsuma, named Hindmarsh, reached level 12.

So what keeps me coming back to an admittedly childish game? The daily puzzles. Every day you sign in you can go to the Hall Of Puzzles and perform the daily challenge. It is a series of brain games. There is a time limit during which you must answer as many questions as possible. I like the variety of puzzles and the chance for a little mental exercise. As you gain levels different puzzles become available. The level goes to at least 17 because you need to be at that level to unlock the Side Winder game. One can go to the Hall Of Puzzles and go for a top score in any of the unlocked games. Currently my highest score is 31 in Moshi Multiply.

One other activity I enjoyed was catching moshlings. This is accomplished by planting different moshling seeds and hoping for the right one to come along. I only wanted two of them: Stanley (a seahorse) and Gurgle (a dragon). I got these specifically because they represent the sagelings. Stanley is easy to fnd but Gurgle is rather rare - hard to get - so I had to be patient.

I will post each time Hindmarsh gains a level, mostly to keep a record for myself and to comment on the unlocked games.

Thank-you for reading
