While you’re in Jamaa, enter doorways to find rooms and areas where you can play games, buy accessories with “gems” (virtual money you can spend in Jamaa), and meet new Jammers, too.
You’ll even find cool extra content like printable activity sheets to colour in and some awesome National Geographic video content!
You can use your gems in exchange for all sorts of cool stuff, like decorating your den, buying accessories for your animal, and even buying your own pet!
