Pet Society is an internet social game developed by Playfish. The game which is launched within Facebook has been ranked as the most popular Facebook application. Players can choose a pet, choose the sex, the name, the colour, the features (ears, nose, mouth etc.), and even visit friends and bring gifts for them. The pet has to be fed, washed and made happy by visiting friends, caressing him and playing with him. The more you play, the more your experience points grow and so more items become available for your pet and your house gains more and more rooms. Of course, you can decorate your rooms with the things you buy in shops.
Features
Pet Society tries to maintain its popularity by launching new purchasable items to each of the stores every week, and attracts new users through its long continued efforts to stay updated, bringing new features such as “Recycling” and the Pet Society Photo Album feature. Currently, Pet Society contains no cheats and the following stores and places in its standard village:
- Luxury Store – This store mainly sells expensive products to the richer pets, and contains beds, jacuzzis, and such.
- Hurdle Racing Stadium – Here pets can engage in Hurdling races of three, and also has the “betting” mode where players bet on the pet they think will win. If the player guesses correctly they will get double their bet.
- Food Shop – Here pets can find typical fruits, vegetables, meat products, drinks, etc. The Food Shop has weekly features which sometimes reflect to the calendar, for example selling Zongzi for one week in the 2009 May 28th Dragon Boat Festival.
- Furniture Store – This shop supplies various tables, chairs, couches, beds and several types of shelves and cabinets.
- Gadget Shop – Sells electronic items, such as TVs, radios, telephones, clocks, and laptops.
- Mystery Shop – The Mystery Shop sells Fairy and Toy “Mystery” Eggs and Mystery boxes which contain anything that is purchasable in Pet Society (sometimes things that aren’t purchasable in stores are in them). Mystery boxes come in three sizes, vary in price, and the items will be different along with the price.
- Cafe – A more recent feature, the Cafe is a social fecal bonding service where you can visit random players’ houses, meeting their pets. You can also buy typical coffee-shop food and tea sets here.
- D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) – This place is where players can shop for wallpapers, floors, doors and windows.
- Clothes – Here players can buy clothes, shoes, hats and accessories for their pet to wear.
- Stylist – Players can change the name, colour or of your pet.
- Bank – Allows you to buy more coins here using Paypal to spend in the other shops.
- Cash Shop – This is one of the newest shops, and you can buy special Playfish Cash, then spend it on special items found only here.
- Garden – The latest addition to the stores in the game, you can buy plants and different seeds for your pet’s garden here. The vegetable seeds yield vegetables that grow in size as time passes, but these can rot if not watched carefully.
