Halloween Scavenger Hunt!!!!

My best Buddy the Halloween Howler really enjoyed meeting you all tonight. He told me that you were so wonderful and filled with the spirit of Halloween that he insisted that I hold another contest for you.

So here is the deal Buddies!!! Tonight I am starting a scavenger hunt. You know, where I give you a list of things to find in the world of EcoBuddies and then you can email the moderator and let her know your answers. If you are the FIRST person to email me with all of the correct answers then... well... oh my goodness... you will have the coolest prize in the world. In fact, you get a certain mountain in EcoBuddies named after you. Rumor is that Mammoth Mountain will be re-named and given the name of the winner's Buddy. Goodness Gracious!!!! That means if your Buddy's name is TeddyBear, then the mountain will be called "Teddy Bear Mountain". Even the name on the map will be changed!!!

Anyhow, here is the list for the scavenger hunt. All you have to do is email the moderator and let her know where you can find these things in EcoBuddies:

1. Hot chocolate
2. Scuba suit
3. Buddy asleep at the wheel
4. Seven red mushrooms
5. Jukebox
6. Soccer ball
7. Hang-glider
8. Water wheel
9. Dancing plants
10. A picture of a witch

So, you need to let us know the answers by October 31st at 4pm okay? And if you meet my friend the Halloween Howler on the roof at the Haunted House at 4:30pm on Friday, October 31st he will tell you who the winner is.

And again, you need to email the moderator the answers. The moderator button is the button with the two linked hands by the chatbar.

Got that Buddies?

Have fun!!!!

A Halloween Contest!

Hey Buddy!

What do you get when you combine a crazy friend of mine called the Halloween Howler, the time 5pm, and a Cauldron? A CONTEST happening TOMORROW!!!!

I feel like giving out some prizes, so meet my good friend Halloween Howler in the Dungeon at the Haunted House on Wednesday (tomorrow!!!!) at 5pm. That is October 29, 2008 at 5pm.

The catch is that to win a prize you gotta be there at 5pm, with three new friends who are new to EcoBuddies and standing in the Cauldron when I arrive. Yup, you gotta squish in there with all the other Buddies!!!

What will your prize be? Not telling.

And, maybe you'll get a clue from the Halloween Howler about another halloween contest that will be starting.....

Firefox is the best!

Hey Buddy,

If you are having troubles with EcoBuddies I would suggest using Firefox as your default browser.
We have found that EcoBuddies works much better with Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
You can download Firefox at the following address.

Our first animal of the month is the Grizzly Bear!

Hey Buddy!

Each month we like to feature an animal of the month. For the month of October we are featuring the amazing Grizzly Bear.

Did you know that Grizzly Bears can run as fast as 48 kilometers an hour? That is really fast.

Even though Grizzly Bears are very big, they mostly eat nuts, berries, fruit, leaves and roots.

Grizzly Bears get their name from the white tips on their fur.

What is your favorite animal? Each week we will pick a new and amazing animal to feature.

How do I get coins?

Hey Buddy!

Someone asked me today "How do I get coins in EcoBuddies?".
The best way to get coins is to play games like Buddy Bowling, Space Blasters, Wind Jammers or Soccer Juggling. When you have saved up enough coins you can travel to Evergreen and buy costumes at Jumbles Costume Shop, furniture at Pesto's Place, a house from Fran's Realty Office or an electric car from Smiley's Electric Cars!

A Message from the CEO (Chief EcoBuddies Officer)

Hey Buddy!

Pesto here! I was asked by the EcoBuddies CEO to pass on this message.

"The EcoBuddies website is currently in beta testing. While playing on the site during beta testing you have full access to all of the website. When EcoBuddies goes into full production players can pay a small monthly fee to continue having full access to the site. There are still many great things to do in the free version of EcoBuddies. Players will still be able to play games, run around, and make friends. Thank you very much for participating in the Ecobuddies beta testing phase."

Colay Plangg,
CEO EcoBuddies Interactive

Well, that's the message! Thanks everybody!
