Secret Builders starts today

Secret Builders is announcing today the launch of an educational world targeted at kids aged 5 to 14. Secret Builders features a lot of the staples of kids worlds, exploration, quests, games, virtual homes and pets to maintain, and social interaction. What it describes as its main differentiator is an emphasis on education.

Games and quests feature educational content and NPCs of famous historical figures are scattered throughout the world, where, according to the site, children might meet Shakespeare while he hosts his own birthday party or Einstein to talk about his theories. The site also emphasizes more traditional creative input, like writing essays, contributing artwork, or posting videos (all checked by human moderators) for various contests.

According to VentureBeat, the world was founded by Umair Khan January 2007 and is developed by a team of seven in the U.S. with 14 programmers in Bulgaria. After its test period and word of mouth spread, Secret Builders has 5,000 members from 27 countries.

Currently the entire world is free to play, but will eventually incorporate premium subscriptions and virtual goods for sale. Khan is open to advertising, but sensitive to bringing in brands, and is currently working with Art in Action, The Monterey Bay Aquarium, WildPlanet Toy Company and StoneSoup Magazine.

Secret Builders has raised $2.4 million in two rounds of angel funding, including Scott Hassan, a founding team member at Google, Carlos Cashman, founder and CEO of CourseAdvisors, and Ken Morse, a professor at the MIT Sloan School and co-founder of 3Com and Aspen technologies. Khan isn't currently looking for any more funding.

I checked the game out when it was still in closed beta, It does have fun quests and games .it is worth checking out.
Another game which is in open beta and is just as fun but little has been said about is
"Pandanda" which you play as a bear .you can fish, treasure hunt and the house and furniture is more interactive than secret builders.

In my search to find a game to replace VMK, this one at least has a lot to do. I could never get into VFK. I don't like the avatars and the game as a whole just doesn't appeal to me. Whenever I go on Elf Island, it seems like I am the only one there and it is really boring. Secret Builders at least has games that I like and can play.

No, more like 5 - 14. lol

Just an FYI, the folks at Secret Builders have made something just for us. If you log in, you can see it in Treasure Island and under shopping (furniture).

I like this game, sorta. The lands seem a lot like VMK. And so does the clothing part of the pirate outfit reminds me of VMK. But why does it look like it was drawn with markers? And the npcs are smartly programmed but annoying.
