ZulaWorld, based on the PBS animated show, The Zula Patrol, is a safe, fun, on-line game. It is an immersive environment for the exploration of science, math and astronomy that stimulates curiosity, promotes discovery, and inspires imagination among children! It also provides a place for parents and educators to engage with their children, students and each other. Because it is a Beta we are continually adding functionality and fixing things, we welcome all feedback.
To get started click on the Join & Play button and create an Alien. Pick from one of 6 Aliens, change his skin color, pick his eyes, dress him with clothing, hats and accessories. Then give him a unique name – the system will tell you if it is available, put in your parent’s email address and have your parent check your in-box for the activation link. Once your parent activates the account your alien can walk around and interact in ZulaWorld. It is just that simple!!!
There are lots of fun things to do in ZW here are a few things:
- Wander around Zulapolis (East, West and Midtown) – click on anything that highlights to blue on mouseover. Click on the map to visit places like Zula Patrol Headquarters, Ice Station Zula and Greater Crater Planetary Park. Click on the spaceship icon on the bottom yellow bar, build your spaceship and fly to Asteroid Gas Station and Venus. Travel to Venus and walk through “Acid Rain” and get to the “Cloud in a Jar” Game.
- Head over to Greater Crater Planetary Park and play the “Simple Machines” and “Skate Park” games.
- On Ice Station Zula – you can sled down a hill with 3 of your friends to win, as well go into Precipito’s Lab and play the “Find the Gleep” game.
To buy spaceship furniture, buy clothing, buy music etc. your child must earn Zlinkles (ZulaWorld’s currency) by playing games and missions.
There are so many more things – explore, learn about science and have fun!
There is a feedback button on the bottom yellow bar – please send us any/all feedback.
Thanks so much and hope you enjoy ZulaWorld!

The alien’s are not showing up so we are unable to make our character.

Hi Becky – sometimes the initial download could take a few minutes. Can you please tell me what browser version, computer type and operating system you are running.
Thanks,

Hi -
Both my kids love Zulaworld! (They love love love Zual patrol!)
Interested in getting VIp memberships for my kids. Do I have to buy one for each or can I buy one and let them both use it? They each have an account.
Probably not willing to pay twice, but curious how it works.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian
I am Deborah Manchester, the creator of The Zula Patrol and ZulaWorld.com. You can get VIP membership in ZulaWorld.com for both of your kids right now for FREE. They should each have their own membership.
To get the Free VIP membership while we’re in BETA testing, just sign up as if you were going to pay — and because we are in BETA testing, there are dummy credit card numbers and dates to use….so it’s free.
I think that both kids will want their own subscription because they will want their own spaceship to travel in and decorate and will want to build their own alien, etc. Also, you as a parent will get weekly emails about what your kids were learning in ZulaWorld.com.
Please enjoy the VIP membership – for Free while we BETA test.
We welcome any comments you might have.
I hope you and your children enjoy exploring in ZulaWorld.com.
Kindest regards,
Deborah
