Locate Moshi Monsters in the list, click the Remove button on its right side. Just like what was mentioned above, the uninstall wizard will guide you to uninstall Moshi Monsters. Don't forget to restart the computer after the removal.
London-based developer Mind Candy has received an investment lifeline with a $1 million investment, according to a report from The Telegraph.
The developer of successful online children’s game Moshi Monsters received financial help back in April where it renegotiated a loan and managed to get a $1.5 million injection of cash. The company was one of the early tech start-ups in London and was valued in 2015 at £7.1 million, which is a far cry from its 2012 valuation of £46.9 million.
A failure to progress to smartphones led to many staff losses and a complete reboot of the franchise, which led to Ian Chambers, formerly of Game Digital, to take over from founder Michael Acton Smith last year. “Mind Candy’s had a very difficult period, we all know this,” Chambers told The Telegraph.
The Telegraph also reports that while the injection of cash is enough to see the company through 2017, it might need to organise further investment for Q1 2018. The company is currently working on two IPs with Petlandia Adventures joining Moshi Monsters in its portfolio as the developer’s main focus.
- Nov 03, 2016 Available for Apple Inc.’s iOS and Google’s Android, Moshi Monsters Egg Hunt is a free-to-play app designed to appeal to four- to seven-year-olds, a slightly younger age group than had been.
- No matter how long it's been since they went I will still remember the magazines and spending ages in shops picking which pack to buy. I still raid car boot sales for them now to add to the hundred I still have.
The studio was formed in 2004 and at its height, Moshi Monsters was an incredibly popular IP. Aimed at 5-6 year-olds, the game had over 100 million registered users as of last year and spawned many different products including trading cards, a feature film and a Nintendo DS game.
“In 2016, following a well-publicised challenging period for the business, we set a new direction for Mind Candy,' said CEO, Ian Chambers to Develop. 'Within a year of starting to implement our plan, the momentum we created around Moshi Monsters and Petlandia saw monthly revenue grow year-over-year for the first time in several years. This led to a $1.5m investment from Accel, LocalGlobe and others. Our investors, along with everyone involved with Mind Candy, are very supportive and optimistic about our progress. We recently completed another round of more than $1 million from our existing investors, which will be used to continue this momentum.”

The sharp-eyed amongst you will have noticed a new “Gift Room” button in your home.
Clicking on this button takes you to an undated gift room which now includes “Mystery Gifts” as well as the standard video gifts that we’ve always had. There’s also a button to take you to Gift Island.
Mystery Gifts
So what’s a Mystery Gift? Well, when you send a mystery gift the recipient will receive seeds, rox or XP depending on what they get when they open the box. You can’t choose, neither you, nor the recipient will know what they’ll get until they open the box!
Once you receive a gift you click on the button under it to open the box. You’ll then get one of the random gifts.
You’ll then have the chance to send gift back to the person who sent you the gift.
If you want to send someone else a gift, you’ll need to pop along to Gift Island and visit the Mystery Gifts Shop. (Gift Island is now accessible to non-members!)
Mystery Gifts Shop
To send a mystery box you need to first, select the colour of the box you wish to send. You’ve got a choice of Roarsome Red, Goopendous Green or Pawsome Purple.
Once you’ve chosen a colour, you can then choose the friends you wish to send gifts too.
You do this by clicking on the green Choose Friends.
Now just pick the friend (or friends) you wish to send the mystery gifts to and click on the “Send Gift” button.
You can only send 10 mystery gifts/day, so if you’ve got lots of friends. You’ll see the number of gifts you have available to send on the right hand side.
What can you get?
When you open the Mystery box you’ll randomly get one of the following rewards:
- 1 Rox
- 10 XP
- 5 XP
- 5 Rox
- 10 Rox
- 20 Rox
- 50 Rox
- Star Blossom Seeds
If you’re not a member and get Star Blossom Seeds, you’ll be asked to spin again as only Members can receive these.
AS you can see from the list above, you’re most likely to end up getting Rox.
Once you open a mystery gift it will vanish from your gift room when you close it. If you want to send a gift back you’ll need to do it straight away or make a note of the sender somewhere.
Gift Island Open to all
Previously, it was only possible to get to Gift Island if you were a member. With the latest update everyone can now get to Gift Island.
You can get to Gift Island by:
- Clicking on Gift Island from the Map
- Clicking on the Gift Room button in your room and then clicking on the “To Gift Island” button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
- If you’re a member you can visit The Port and take a boat ride to Gift Island.
You can still send an unlimited number of video gifts (if you’ve got the Rox). Each video gift costs between 10 and 130 Rox.
Eek, there’s a couple of bugs!
We’ve noticed a couple of bugs with the new gift Room and the Mystery Gifts.
- If you use the “find a friend” feature to find owners names on your friends list it doesn’t let you send a mystery gift when you select them. (The button remains grayed out.)
- When you receive XP as a gift your XP gauge on the left hand side of your screen rockets up. Once you return to your room it returns to normal though (it looks like you get loads of XP!)
- No matter what colour you choose for your Mystery Gift box, it always seems to be purple when it arrives!
What do you think?
