Pet Society Game Review

My first thought about this game is that it reminded me of Tamagotchi, a handheld Digital Pet created in the 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. A small egg shaped gadget with buttons that allows players to perform activities like:

  • Feeding the Tamagotchi a piece of food or a snack.
  • Playing games with the Tamagotchi.
  • Cleaning up a Tamogotchi's waste.
  • Checking it age, discipline, hunger, happiness and other statistics.


  • Bandai
    It took the school children and adults by storm to an extent that they are taking care of their digital pet more than they are taking care of themselves. Keeping their pet happy, clean and not dying in between classes, work, lunch etc. I could still recall that some schools are actually banning it then.

    With Pet Society, I gather it would cause less destruction to the classes, unless of course they have access to a computer and it’s hooked up to the internet. Since playfish is into social games, their games allow the character to socialize and interact with others. In this game, your pet can buy clothing and play dressing up, go shopping for items to decorate the home, participate in races, and walk around the neighborhood.

    There’s a whole bunch of trophies to win, ranging from bronze, silver to gold. You can get awards for visiting friends, gifting to friends, play games, betting in races, participating in the hurdle races, buying x pairs of shoes, hats, clothing and more.

    Dress Up

    As you progress on clearing the different levels in pet society will get you bigger house, be awarded with better soap bars, balls, skipping ropes.
    Ball

    Currently it’s in beta mode and thus has only 23 levels. There are weekly specials and you can get items at fairly good prices from the shops. The award requires you to buy things to achieve it so the ability get coins are a challenge in this game, unless you have a lot of friends playing it. Where you can visit them daily and get coins from there.

    1. I'm trying to find a list of paw points needed for each level, and awards given by level, specifically when new rooms are awarded. Is this posted anywhere?

    2. Hi JJ, I've not written such a post, but I did recall seeing it somewhere. I may have to dig around a bit.
