Crazy New Hints + Valentines

Hey Jammers! On Wednesday after school, I came home and thought "the update is tomorrow! I'll be a good blogger and post about it on the day it happens." Thursday after school, I came home and I thought "yay, the update is today! I'll post about it tomorrow because I'm too tired and need to sleep." Friday after school, I thought "wow, the week was so long that all I can do is sleep for the rest of the day, but I'll totally post tomorrow morning."

It's Saturday evening right now. I had thought I'd post this morning, but even after 9+ hours of sleep I... still... slept... instead...

Long story short, today was an annoying day and I need to stop procrastinating. (:

But on the bright side, some cool stuff came out this update! So let's jump right into it:


Yes!!! I love temporary new features during seasonal celebrations. For the month of February, you can send ANONYMOUS Jam-a-Gram valentines!

If you get one, it will look a li ttle like this:


I can't believe it, only two days after the update and I already have a secret valentine!!! Is it one of you guys? ;D

The nametag is generic and unclickable, and you can send any message you want to any person you want! 

For some reason, all non-friendship-related Jam-a-Grams are retired, hopefully only temporarily. 

Keep it kind, guys! Anonymity can make you feel very powerful, but with power comes responsibility. 

The second biggest thing going on in Jamaa is the introduction of a new adventure surrounding the mysterious stone that had been on display in Alpha HQ:


This adventure is a private assignment from Greely, who seems to be working solo, for obvious reasons. He's the one who took the ancient stone! 

But he assures you that his actions were not without reason. Through his secret knowledge, he knew of some riverlands that flow into a special place: the original home of the artifact. Not the underground city where the Alphas discovered it, but the true source! He must have a bottomless pit where he keeps all his books if he could find information like that.

Your quest? While Greely fends off phantoms, escort the precious stone on a raft to the river's heart. You might wanna bring a Glove, because there are many webs and traps to claw through. Somehow, the phantoms know of the importance of the stone and will do everything in their power to stop it from it getting to its destination. Hmm...

Along the way, you'll find that the phantoms have developed some new sneaky techniques to get you to drop your guard:



You'll need to persevere in order to get through. This is the kind of adventure that will make you thankful for the ability to regenerate hearts. If anyone could try to run through the whole thing on one life, they deserve a trophy.

But this adventure is merciful, to some extent:


And unlike other adventures, there is a full-blown phantom battle towards the end. But don't worry, you'll have help. ;)

The next part of this post will have some major spoilers. I really suggest you play this adventure on your own first. 

-Spoilers Ahead- 

Remember when I said this adventure was the second biggest thing this update?

I may be wrong, because some secrets implied about this magic stone could be huge.


Towards the end of the adventure, you start to see a lot of these unique trees. I took this picture because I just thought they were cool, but they might provide some hints... you'll see soon... 





This rock is a Heartstone, covered by layers of sediment! 

It's not specified which animal this Heartstone might belong to, but this animal's homeland, the heart of the river, is referenced suggestively. Right after Sir Gilbert says that the information acquired from this Heartstone will remain classified from Jammers for a period of time, Peck responds with the first two speech bubbles.

Something is very strongly implied here... 

Something not only about this Heartstone, but its home...

Could the riverlands, the home of this Heartstone's animal, become a new land!?!?!?

I know just the place on the map for this new land:


Finally, that little corner I've been obsessing over forever will have some attention!!!

What kind of new land, and what kind of new animal could be announced in the coming months?

Well, obviously one comfortable around water, if not directly aquatic. Perhaps, as many Jamaa lands represent real-life locations, these riverlands may represent the Amazon river, and the animal may be of tropical origin!

But remember how old that Heartstone is. It was held onto by an ancient civilization!

Remember the weird trees... remember what Cosmo said about not recognizing the plants' languages...

Could this animal be...

a dinosaur?

Maybe that's why the ancient city was destroyed. They reintroduced dinosaurs and all chaos broke loose!

This is just a crazy guess, but it may very well be the truth. We have never had so much fanfare over a new animal before!

What do you guys think?

    1. I'm mostly hoping we get a new land-- every time there's a possibility of a new land, I always jump and assume the upper left corner of the map will house it. There's never been so much specific evidence before... so I hope my theories aren't yet again for nothing XD

  2. I actually thought of the land today.

    It kind of reminded me of how the waters in the river looked for return of the phantoms. In rotp, there are bunnies. Maybe a new type of bunny or rodent? (I want to see Mini Lops come to animaljam!)

    And I realized, the underwater one beneath lost temple of zios must be where bubble trouble took place!

    I'm excited :D

    1. I think you're onto something!

      I can see mini lops, or at least lop-eared rabbits coming to AJ– we have two kinds of horses!

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!
