Hello Jammers! Yellow here! For my first scroll, I’ve decided on June 18th 2013. This update was actually on a Tuesday, oddly enough. But, I would say that it was one of the most important updates in Animal Jam history.

Adventures first released five years ago today! Time sure does fly by doesn’t it? This was such a big event that the reveal of Kangaroos was pushed back all the way to page five.

But, back to adventures. The update launched with two adventures, the Training Grounds, and Return of the Phantoms. These adventures didn’t change much except for the place that housed them, and their prizes. First, the base camp was very different when it first opened. However, there’s not many pictures of it online. Here’s the best I could do:

Very different from what we have now! It was also heavily advertised that adventures were in beta. You could see “Beta” plastered all over, including the Jamaa Journal, party list, and reward items. Speaking of reward items, they’re different from the current prizes too.

Each item, when clicked on, gets rid of the phantom infection is has. If you’ve played Return of the Phantoms you’ll know this is a common trend in the adventure.

Now, for our final piece of trivia, the new item of the day was…

The beta bird feeder! Be sure to join me next time as we take a look at another newspaper from long ago, with with a small feature that made a big impact.
