I think, to get VV more popular, you could make small, free internet game that advertises VV2 and VV3.
It could be a collections screen with all the collectibles on the side - like a puzzle. Then you would have to match up the collectibles with their place on the board. It could be split into nine groups; Shells, Beetles, Butterflies, Pebbles, Coral, Tablets, Turtle Shells, Feathers and Keys.
I think it would be cute, good as a problem solving activity for kids, and it would make people want to play VV2 and VV3.
As I said, it would mainly be ranged at kids aged 5 to 12, so not much advertising would be produced, but then again, only a tiny amount of programming would be required.
Any other idea's for small internet games would be great!

Oh, that is a cute idea, Becca! I could see something like that being very popular.

Very cut idea Becca, it would advertise great!

Awesome idea Becca!

Sounds good to me! Might be good if we could match parents and children. Another one is memory, all the collections are put on cards and you have to turn them over to match them. You wouold have a score board and earn points for turning them over in the least amount of mismatches you can do it in. Another one is find objects of the game.

I was recently thinking VV Build a bears

I LOVE BUILD A BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol Build-a-villager

what about family trees? you click on the family tree, and then, you get a puzzle. you need to match villagers of 25 cards. the Golden Child is a joker. and when you match the Albino head and Albino head, you get a free turn to look at the pictures for 10 seconds. with a card with a smile on gives you another turn, which give you 3 turns. in the begin you have 2 turns. i dont really mean to make thins a ad, but i think this can be a game called "Virtual Villagers 2 And Virtual Villagers: The SEcret City Memory".

I would totally go for a build a villager!

Great idea Becca & yes i 2 would go 4 a build a villager
