Pet Society

Pet Society is an internet social game developed by Playfish. The game which is launched within Facebook has been ranked as the most popular Facebook application.[1][2] New players custom design their pets, choosing the gender, the name, the colour, and the features (such as; ears, nose, mouth etc.)
There are a variety of activities with which the user can interact with the pet, including washing, brushing, petting and feeding the pet. There are also activities whereby pets can interact with the pets of those in the "friends" network. A pet can visit the pets of their friends and perform the same activities to these pets (washing, grooming, feeding, etc.). A pet can visit other pets as many times per day as they are inclined to, however once a day these visits will award coins and Paw Points. There are many ways to earn coins in Pet Society, like the Daily Lottery, visit friends, won awards or hurdle races.
Features

Pet Society has a thriving in-game economy and launches new purchasable items to each of the stores every week. The application attracts new users through its long continued efforts to stay updated, bringing new features such as "Recycling", "Garden", the Pet Society Photo Album feature and the Pet Society Fishing Pond. As of August 2009, Pet Society contains no cheats[citation needed] and the following stores and places in its standard village:
Luxury - This store mainly sells expensive products to the richer pets, and contains beds, jacuzzis, and such. Luxury usually puts items that sold with price more than 2,500 coins.
Stadium - Here pets can engage in Hurdling races of three (at maximum of 10 times playing a day), and also has the "betting" mode where players bet on the pet they think will win. If the player guesses correctly they will get double their bet.
Food - Here pets can find typical fruits, vegetables, meat products, drinks, etc. The Food Shop has weekly features which sometimes reflect to the calendar, for example selling Zongzi for one week in the 2009 May 28 Dragon Boat Festival.
Furniture - This shop supplies various tables, chairs, couches, beds and several types of shelves and cabinets.
Gadget - Sells electronic items, such as TVs, radios, telephones, clocks, and laptops.
Mystery - The Mystery Shop sells Fairy, Fairytale and Toy "Mystery" Eggs and Mystery boxes. The Fairy eggs contain one of a selection of items that can be used for a themed room (such as fairy lamps, leaf carpets, fairy bed, etc.) as well as different elements of a fairy's wardrobe. Items which come out of Fairy "eggs" can be gifted to friends that play Pet Society. Both the Fairytale and Toy Mystery eggs contain either backdrop scenes (for example, a yellow brick road backdrop) or elements to place into that scene (such as the cowardly lion). While the Fairytale and Toy eggs can be gifted to Pet Society Friends, the items which come from the eggs cannot. The Mystery boxes can contain items currently in the other stores in Pet Society as well as special mystery items which are indicated by a "?". Mystery boxes come in three sizes, a small red box or "RMB", a medium blue box or "BMB", and a gold large box or "GMB". The value of the items inside of the mystery boxes can vary greatly, with a maximum resale value from the GMB being 999 coins. The "RMB" cost 50 yellow coins and the "BMB" cost 200 yellow coins and mostly, the "GMB" cost 500 yellow coins. All items which come out of a Mystery Box can be gifted to Pet Society Friends. Also there are 3 other new egg sets like the Faerie eggs, Food Booth eggs, and Fortune eggs which give you furniture and clothes to the theme which the egg is.
Café - a A more recent feature, the Café is a social bonding service where you can visit random players' houses, meeting their pets. You can also buy typical coffee-shop food and tea sets here.
D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) - This place is where players can shop for wallpapers, floors, doors and windows.
Clothes - Here players can buy clothes, shoes, hats and accessories for their pet to wear.
Stylist - Players can change the name, color and features (e.g. eyes, nose, ears and such) of their pet.
Bank - Allows you to buy more yellow coins and cash here using Paypal to spend in the other shops. There are also offers which can be completed to earn coins. These may included free surveys, credit card offers, club offers (such as movie clubs or coffee clubs). The amount of coins (yellow) which can be earned varies with the offer. Reimbursement periods also vary, with some offers being instantaneous, while other offers can take a week or longer. The yellow coins can be used in all shops except for the Cash Coin Shop.
Cash Shop - This is one of the newest shops, and you can buy special Playfish Cash (you can only earn Playfish Cash by credit card or by premium text message), then spend it on special items found only here.
Garden - The latest addition to the stores in the game, you can buy plants and different seeds for your pet's garden here. The vegetable seeds yield vegetables that grow in size as time passes, but these can rot if not watched carefully. It has a variety of 3 seeds. Vegetables, flowers and trees. There are different variety of each. The trees bear food like cupcakes and bananas and many more kind of food every few days. Since fishing has started in the game, you can find aquariums here.
Pond - introduced in July 2009, players can collect fish (and various other items) by using any food they have as bait. Fish can be shown to friends by placing them in an aquarium. They can also be recycled or sold, but not gifted.
There are also basic tools provided in Pet Society. These tools are upgraded when your level gets higher. (see table)
