Jamaa Township

Jamaa Township is the main town area in Jamaa. It is the first area New Jammers are sent to when they join Animal Jam. It connects to a majority of the other land areas in Jamaa, with a path leading to the Lost Temple of Zios to the east, Sarepia Forest to the northeast, Appondale to the west, and Kimbara Outback to the southwest.

Appearance
Jammers take this land, or room, as an opportunity to trade, advertise events, and start random flash mobs. Jamaa Township includes shops like Jam Mart Clothing, Jam Mart Furniture, and the Diamond Shop. All three shops host sales, discounts, and often contain limited edition items. Jamaa Township also has fun leisure centers like the Sol Arcade or the Pillow Room. The one unspecified animal is the ladybug which shows up at random times. Jamaa Township is decorated according to the current season or holiday.

Attraction

 * Sol Arcade - Located just down and left from the town center is a large straw hut with a rocket ship facade for the entrance. This is a place where Jammers can play many Games, purchase arcade machines for their own Dens, and purchase a variety of space-themed den items.
 * Club Geoz - Far down to the bottom right of the township is a tall house that is sparsely decorated as a dance club. Here Jammers can play some games and enjoy a club themed environment.
 * Pillow Room - At the very bottom right of Jamaa Township is a small straw hut with a Buddies sign hanging in front of it. This location has no specific activities, but it offers a relaxing environment of pillows to hang out in.
 * Jammer Central - Situated in the center of the township is a large, interactive bulletin board. Jammers can use this to browse featured artwork from other players, submit their own content to AJHQ for various activities such as contests, and even post short messages known as Howls.

Shops

 * Jam Mart Clothing - Located just above and left of the town center is a large, castle-like building. This is where a majority of the clothing accessories in Jamaa are sold. It is also one of the few places with a clothing Recycling machine.
 * Jam Mart Furniture - On the top left of this area is a large building amidst a bamboo forest. Inside this place is the primary den item shop for Jamaa. It also includes a den item recycling machine for converting old items back into Gems.
 * Diamond Shop - Positioned just below the center of the township on the right is an elegant, dome-roofed building that is clad in diamonds. This shop sells a variety of things, all of which can only be purchased with Diamonds.

Games

 * Jamaa Derby - In the derby, members use their own avatar if they have a Horse, while non-members use a generic horse with no accessories. They have to click the screen, or press the space bar to jump over obstacles (mud pools, hay piles, large puddles, patches of tall grass), and make sure their timing is right to clear all of the obstacles. The three carrots signify the boost buttons. They may use the boost button three times only to get ahead of other horses. Emoticons are to the left and right of the carrots (cool, sneaky, wink, :P, surprise, and tired). Once you pass the finish line, your avatar dances. Then a box pops up, with the ranking list, at the bottom is a fun fact. Outside the game, first place winners have their ribbon next to their avatar for a few minutes.


 * Ducky Dash - This is a members-only mini-game. The player must have a pet duck in order to play. The objective of the game is to swim away from tidal waves, tsunamis, or rivers, and avoid the obstacles encountered. Catching rubber duckies will earn the player Gems, but once they get sucked into the waves, is game over. This game replaced River Race in 2012.

Trivia

 * This is the only area on the World Map that does not have its own Journey Book page.
 * The music for this area is usually a speedy version of AJ Melody. During the Jamaalidays, the Jamaaliday Jingle plays instead.
