Virtual Build-A-Bear Workshop® Store

Welcome to the virtual Build-A-Bear Workshop® store where you can bring your furry friends to life. Go to the Take Me Home station and chat with the virtual Bear Builder™ associate. When you enter your animal ID and key code from the birth certificate you made for your furry friend in a Build-A-Bear Workshop store after October 2007, you will see your furry friend’s name and birth date! Or enter the animal Web code printed on your Welcome Pass and select your furry friend from the on-screen menu.

Your furry friend will jump into the cool virtual backpack you receive, and you will be ready to explore the world together.

Shopping

There are different places in Build-A-Bearville where you can buy virtual clothing and accessories for your online character, plus Pawsome Den Décor for your Cub Condo® house. Soon you will be able to buy outfits and accessories for your virtual furry friends, too.

To shop, you use Bear Bills, the official virtual currency of Build-A-Bearville. You can earn Bear Bills by playing games and going on animal adventures with your furry friends.

Trading

See something another citizen has that you haven’t seen before? Ask them to trade! It’s the same if you have something you would like to get rid of - you can try to trade it to a citizen who would enjoy it.

If you want to trade an item, double-click on another character in the world and select “Ask to Trade.” The trade will be evaluated to make sure it’s fair. It may be a straight item-for-item trade or one that you may have to add Bear Bills to in order to make it fair.

Play together

This is the pawsome play space, where you can enjoy a multiplayer game with other characters. Click on one of the paws to join a game. Wait for other players to join the game before play begins. There are many games in the world that you can play to earn points, which translate into Bear Bills to spend in the world.

Neighborhood

You have just entered the Cub Condo® complex. You have your own Cub Condo house where you and your furry friends all live together. You can color the outside, and each furry friend has their own room inside for you to customize.

In your Cub Condo and during certain games and animal adventures, your furry friends will be out of their backpacks, stretching their paws, walking around with you and even busting out a few dance moves.

If you are in the world without a furry friend, you will not have a Cub Condo.
