Monkey Quest was an MMO geared toward children's multi-player gameplay. It was developed by Nickelodeon Virtual Worlds Group and launched in March 2011. It was showcased at GDC in 2011. Monkey Quest was shut down on September 26, 2014 so that Nickelodeon could focus on other digital and mobile experiences. The Monkey Quest: Thunderbow app was also removed from the App Store on July 31, 2014.
The player's monkey entered the land of Ook. The player was then able to travel around and meet new inhabitants of the virtual world. The player needed to complete multiple quests along the way. They could meet friends, buy new objects, visit the Mayor Bumbee, battle monsters and much more. As the user played, their monkey unlocked more lands, discovered more about the legendary Monkey King, and could even become leader of a tribe.
There were five monkey tribes available:
And the fifth and final tribe, the Mek-Tek (Mechanical Technology). This tribe was never playable as the game was shut down before it was released.
There was a large number of Quests available throughout the game. There were 4 different kinds of Quests:
Main Quests could only be done once by every player. As the player leveled up their character, main quests would get harder to complete.
Daily Quests could be done once a day by any player, regardless of their current level.
Side Quests - Quests that could be done in addition to the other quest types.
Quests that required 2 or more players. Most of these only required 2, but some required 3 players. A Pet could also help in these quests.
There were 5 kinds of different types of Quests in Monkey Quest. Each type depended on which section of Ook the player is in.
Due to an update, all players (non-members and members) could access trails. This followed the deletion of NC Trail Keys and Guest Passes.
To explore the worlds of Ook, players used the arrow keys on their keyboard. Jumping was controlled by pressing the space bar and pressing the arrow keys whilst jumping allowed the player to jump in that direction. Pressing the space bar then the down arrow whilst in midair made the character do a dive bomb towards the ground. The player could also press either the CTRL key or the X key on their keyboard whilst facing an in-game NPC to either access new quests or obtain various information about Ook and its residents. The game had five equippable hot keys (C, V, B, N, and M) to control weapons, potions, pets and any other items players wished to access quickly.
