Ms. Zarghami,
Monkey Quest is an online game run by Nickelodeon where kids design a monkey hero and go on quests in a virtual world called Ook. Kids can play with other kids all over the world, and go on quests together. My son loves this game and Nickelodeon has done a great job making it fun and safe. However, Nickelodeon recently announced that the game will be permanently closed on September 26, 2014. If this happens, a lot of kids, including my son, will be heartbroken.
Nickelodeon, Monkey Quest is a great online game, and it doesn't require wifi to play. So much hard work went into creating this game, with its high quality graphics. Perhaps you could sell it to an online educational site such as JumpStart or ABCmouse and it would still remain available. Please make a lot of kids happy, and keep the game online.
P.S. October 1, 2014: Since I started this petition, Nickelodeon did in fact close the online game Monkey Quest. Please understand, it is more than 'just a game'. It was beautifully made, and kids got a chance to create their own monkey character, which was an extension of themselves, as they went on adventures. Naturally, they became very attached to their monkey character. To them, the loss of the gameworld and their monkey character is like a death. I have seen kids actually write poems of mourning the loss. The kids feel abandoned by Nickelodeon, who did not care enough about them to keep the game online. But you can fix this! Nickelodeon can bring back the online game, or sell it to another company like Jumpstart or ABCmouse.com, and the game can return for kids to play again.
Please look at the list of signatures, signed online at Care2's 'The Petition Site'. Kids from all over the world love the game. They interacted with other kids all over the world. I had hoped to get many more signatures, but found this difficult because most kids do not have Facebook accounts, and due to safety and privacy concerns, it was very hard to publicize the petition to children worldwide who love the game.
Please, we ask you, bring back the online game Monkey Quest. Allow kids to access the game again, with no wifi or mobile device required. If you can find a way to do this, kids all over the world will be grateful.
On behalf of myself, my son, and all those who signed the petition, as well as those who did not have a way to sign,
