Hi, I am Maggie and I will

be guiding you on a tour of

Raven Island, which forms

part of the Whyville costal

community.

Virtually speaking Raven Island is

located in Whyville; however, in

reality, its history and ideas behind it

are based on a typical rural Alaskan

village.

The only way to get to Raven

Island’s virtual world is by

ferry.

People who enjoy virtual gaming

experiences, especially people who are

either pre-teens or teens would enjoy the

virtual world of Raven Island. This place is

fun for those of you who love the out doors

and experiencing some place new!

The virtual game world of Raven Island educates

young people about fire safety, and how to be

responsible using it. It offers fun games where if

you can prove your knowledge about the outdoors

and fires you can win clams to claim prizes or

spoil yourself with a whole new style and

wardrobe within Whyville.

Communication is key at Raven Island! A few ways

you can communicate with old or new friends is

through various chat locations and/or email.
