Created by Nickelodeon, the Neopets web site was launched back in 1999 and has grown up to be one of the best tween gaming sites that

exist online. The game allows tweens to raise up to four of their own neopets while interacting with other players in battles, shops and mini-game areas.

The game is a free browser based MMO set in the virtual world of Neopia and can benefit tweens by giving them a virtual way to take care of something while managing their in-world points and spending. Chat restrictions and restricted access for those under the age of thirteen are in effect through parental allowances on forum posts.
