About Us
Who We Are
We are a small group of technology specialists and engineers who primarily create complex internet applications for insurance companies and universities. Over the last 8 months we have also been working on expanding our expertise in the area of social networks and three dimensional online environments.
As part of this effort we have created a next generation virtual world which we had originally developed to use in business applications. However, we have recently decided to use this technology to create an online virtual world for families. This was motivated primarily because we could not find a virtual world similar to this on the internet.
Our commitment is to create a family friendly environment which will be something the entire family will enjoy.
The game will be free, just as you have experienced.
We will not be accepting advertising, as we believe this is inappropriate when children are involved. We have put together a solid business model for this effort and you can rest assured that the Virtual Family Kingdom will not disappear in three years.
We know that you will have many questions, and we will be releasing information about the upcoming beta release on a continual basis, so check back often.
Looks like VFK has entered the world of advertising. This is clearly an ad for Accuweather and even includes their website.

The Kids Day featured political representatives and local organizations as well as free food and fun for the whole family. State College Spikes tickets were also given away. Lucky visitors even had the chance to become an AccuWeather Weatherperson! To see videos of the kids having fun click HERE.

AccuKidz.com would like to welcome a new addition to the AccuKidz family. Virtual Family Kingdom will soon host AccuWeather's Headquarters within their game! This is a screenshot of the room being visited by a white fairy player:
Online since May of this year, Virtual Family Kingdom
http://www.virtualfamilykindgom.com is growing quickly and is a favorite of our own AccuKid Hannah. Thank you, Hannah for your help in making this possible. This amazing online multi player role playing game was formed to help ease the sorrow of many dedicated Virtual Magic Kingdom by Disney players when the game closed. A fun free educational site for kids. And it is safe to play, too. It is wonderful to see companies caring about the online safety of our younger generation.
And so, our first AccuKidz VFK Quest begins on Saturday. The prizes are cool, the game is fun, and you just might make a few friends along the way. Oh, and if your children are playing ... please don't tell them they are learning, ok? We'll just keep that our little secret.
And Me? I'll be online all day Saturday to help with any questions. You can catch me at AccuKidz @ AccuWeather.com As usual, please remove the spaces.
Gotta go for now ... I wonder if they will let me play? I always wanted to be a fairy when I was little ....
