Getting Started
Create an account if you haven't already. Enter in your username, birth day, parents/your email address, age, password, gender, and don't forget to agree to the terms and conditions. Then make your account. You will see a bunny named Peck. Follow her and do what she says. At first, your username will appear to be "New Jammer" because AJHQ is reviewing it.
Choose a server. Busy ones are great, but you may not get a spot in Jamaa Township (Animal Jam's main area) on them, and may be sent to another area because it is full. Jamaa Township is where people trade and host fashion shows, hotels, restaurants, salons, parties, etc. Try and host some yourself!
Buy some clothing. Explore Jamaa Township (where you will probably end up) and go to Jam Mart Clothing to buy clothes. There are also several shops around Jamaa that sell clothes. Check the shops every Monday for a rare item! Don't buy too much as you will need a bit of money for the following step.
Decorating
Go to your den and decorate it. To go to your den, click on the button that looks like a house at the bottom of the screen. Then, explore the buttons on the screen until you find a button that opens up a store. Peck will help you out if you have made a new account! This store will let you buy items for your den. Buy some to customize your den a little! Try decorating your den a little different than you normally do. When you start out, Peck offers you a couch, a table, a lamp, a chair, a window, and a plant. Go in the shops to see what's new!
Try decorating your den to look like your real life house. This may be time-consuming, but it's also fun!
Playing Games
Play games that can earn you gems or prizes. Gems are the main currency in the game. Diamonds are a bit rarer than gems but you still have a chance to get them in the daily spin! Make sure you know how to play the game, and read the rules; then you'll have a much better time. Falling Phantoms is the game to get the most gems in the fastest possible time.
Accept that glitches can happen. If the game glitches, or someone glitches the game, remain calm, play a different game, or log off and try logging back in, but if that won't work try logging out and then reboot your computer. Sometimes in multiplayer games the game fails to start and there is an error message that pops up.
Get used to the game. If you are new, do some single player games. They are really easy. As your first game, try an easy and basic one. There is no need to rush.
Play using the pro option. On games that have the option, "Play Pro", play multiple times so you can unlock this feature. You have to win a few times to get to, "Play Pro". Playing as a pro means extra gems, but it is harder.
Play some multiplayer minigames. Press on the map and choose an area to go to. Explore that area until you find a minigame for 2-4 players (represented by the picture of a video game controller)! Click on the minigame, read the instructions and select 'Play Game'. You'll have to wait for another jammer to join. You can also click the game controller icon near the top of your screen, next to the party icon and gems icon.
Play on the claw machine. The claw machine is a minigame where you move a claw left and right and then drop the claw and see if you got a prize like a plushie or cushion. Each round costs 5 gems (Animal Jam currency). This can be really fun and you can win awesome plushies!
Go to the Aquarium and find the game named, "Tierney's Touch Pool", and play it. The game is very fun and somewhat challenging to find the animals and to not scare them away once you've found them. You can even get plushies, too!
Earn gems. Games can earn you gems quickly, and some, such as Falling Phantoms, Best Dressed, Splash and Dash, and Jamaa Derby, can earn you hundreds of gems easily. Games like Sky High are also popular. Sky High can even earn you clothing items if you reach the top.
Making Friends
Make some friends. An animal with no friends usually quits Animal Jam early because they are bored. Your friends can play games together, talk, be in clans together, trade, and do many more stuff with you!
Join another animal's clan. Clans are from the popular Erin Hunter series, Warriors, and you can join one. Search up how to be a warrior cat on Animal Jam on wikiHow to help more!
Visiting Areas
Explore Animal Jam on foot! There are some places in Animal Jam that you can't get to using the map, such as the Canyon Trail, and you might just meet a new buddy along the way!
Explore Animal Jam using the map. There are plenty of fun things to do in each location. Some of these things are slides, mini games, shops, statues and fun facts about nature.
Go to the Canyon, go to the rock bridge, use the 'Jump' action, and say, "Jump on the bridge with me!" People will almost always join in. If enough animals jump on the center of the bridge, you will see huge cracks appearing in the bridge! The bridge will never break, but it's fun to try!
Go to the Pillow Room and adopt a baby or be a baby yourself. Say, "I'm here to adopt a baby!" if you're adopting or say "Adopt me!" if you're looking to be adopted. If no one is in the Pillow Room, go to the Town Square and say "If you want to be adopted, go to the Pillow Room!" or "If you want to adopt me, go to the Pillow Room!" Then be a very nice mom/baby and don't be mean at all (although if you are a baby you can act sick or get hurt, just not too much, unless you want to be kicked out).
Working
Make a business or event and advertise it. If you are a member, some good ideas for a business are a restaurant, a zoo, a big orphanage/daycare/kindergarten school, a party at your den, or a big fashion show. For a non-member, some good ideas are a small orphanage/daycare/kindergarten, a class of some sort (drama classes are great), shops (pizza parlor, Starbucks, etc), a small fashion show or a party at somewhere other than your den (like Jamaa Township). Set up your event/business, and advertise by saying, "*Insert name of event here* at *insert location here (it's usually your den)*!" Then, start the event!
Get a job. Go to the Town Square and see if anyone is advertising a restaurant or saying that they need employees. If they are, go to their den and say that you want to be an employee. Tell them if you want to advertise, be a chef, or be a waiter/waitress. If you can't find anyone advertising a restaurant, you could join a new world by clicking the gear icon near the right top corner of your screen, then clicking the icon next to the words, "World", and choosing a world, or go to the Aquarium, the Hot Cocoa Hut, or the Smoothie Hut and work there. If you are at the Aquarium, give tours of the Aquarium to the animals who come in. Or if you are at the Hot Cocoa Hut or Smoothie Hut, pretend to get the animals a drink. If someone is already working at your potential workplace, ask to be hired and prepare for a job interview because they might give you one. If nobody is there, just start working!
Make an advice center or ask then what their biggest dream is. Go to the Town Square and say, "Advice Center! Follow me to get free advice!" Then, if anyone comes, give them whatever advice they need. Or ask them their biggest dream, for example, ask, "What is your biggest dream?" They may say something strange like, "I want to be eaten alive by a giant". Be respectful and ask them why that is their biggest dream and you could for fill that dream by helping or roleplaying.
Become a tour guide.You can go to Jamaa township and yell, "Follow me for a tour of Jamaa!" Or yell, " Come to my den if you want a tour! Buddy your tourists (AKA followers) and start touring the beauty of Jamaa!
Be a doctor. Buy a stethoscope and doctor's bag. Have a hospital or doctor's office at your den, or go to the Gabby's Animal Hospital in Kimbara Outback. Wait for patients. Ask your patient what's wrong. Tell them to sleep. Say "-Helps patient-". Tell them they can get up, then say goodbye.
Partying and Entertainment
Host a party at your den! Parties are of the things Jammers love to do. Look at the how to host a party on animal jam article for more ideas. Who knows you could become popular, or even on the epic dens list!
Make a music video, movie, short clip, skit, or any kind of video with your animal and friends. Then you can post it online for others to watch and you may become popular. If you have lots of parties, other Jammers might start to come to your den more often and you might get on the Epic Dens list!
