Random Saturday Ep 55: The Beta Party



Hey everybody, Shade here! For this Random Saturday, I thought it would be cool to look back at one of the rarer Animal Jam parties: The Beta Party. 


The Beta Party was released so far for only three years for a couple of days; the latest date of the party being available to everyone being in 2018. Introduced on July 23, 2014, the party was meant to celebrate Animal Jam's early beta stage back in 2010 and was set in the original den given to all players in the beta. 


Players were given a shop of den items that they could chose from. Although not den items from the beta stage, a lot of them were inspired by different beta items or were made accessible as den items when they wouldn't have been before. For example, the monkey statue as seen below was originally located in The Lost Temple of Zios in the place of the Zios Statue and was not a den item. 



The last Beta Party I ended up going to, had these items above to buy but over the years, the items ended up changing a little. 


In its first release, the party was said to have a few glitches, with the shop not being able to be clicked on as well as there being no music to the party. However, this was soon fixed by AJHQ, given the music that you can listen to here.


As someone who joined the game in 2012, the Beta Party ended up being one of my favorites. It gave newer players a chance to get a small feel of what the beta was like and gave older players a place to remember old times and to celebrate how far the game has grown.
