Monkey Quest was a Massively multiplayer online game geared toward children's multi-player gameplay.[1] It was developed by Nickelodeon Virtual Worlds Group and launched March 17, 2011.[2] It was showcased at GDC in 2011.[1] Monkey Quest was shut down on September 26, 2014 so that Nickelodeon could focus on other digital and mobile experiences. The Monkey Quest: Thunderbow app was also removed from the App Store on July 31, 2014.[3]
Story[edit]
Hey guys, Can ya'll suggest some of the closest alternatives to MQ? I know it's been four years and whatnot, but I just felt like playing some similar MMO for the time being, so it'd be great if someone can suggest a game.
The player's monkey entered the land of Ook. The player was then able to travel around and meet new inhabitants of the virtual world. The player needed to complete multiple quests along the way. They could meet friends, buy new objects, visit the Mayor Bumbee, battle monsters and much more. As the user played, their monkey unlocked more lands, discovered more about the legendary Monkey King, and could even become the leader of a tribe.[4]
Tribes[edit]
There were five monkey tribes available:
- The Chim Foo
- The Sea Dragons
- The Ootu Mystics
- The Ice Raiders
And the fifth and final tribe, the Mek-Tek (Mechanical Technology). This tribe was never playable as the game was shut down before it was released.
Quests[edit]
There were a large number of Quests available throughout the game. There were 4 different kinds of Main Quests could only be done once by every player. As the player leveled up their character, main quests would get more difficult to complete.
Daily Quests[edit]
Daily Quests could be done once a day by any player, regardless of their current level.
Zafaria Monkey Quest Game
Side Quests[edit]
Side Quests - Quests that could be done in addition to the other quest types.
Multiplayer Quests[edit]
Quests that required 2 or more players. Most of these only required 2, but some required 3 players. A Pet could also help in these quests.
Stages[edit]
There were 5 kinds of Quests in Monkey Quest. Each type depended on which section of Ook the player is in.
- Mek-Tek (Mechanical Technology), was never available to begin with, due to the fact that the game was shut down before it was ever released.
- Sea Dragons
- Ootu Mystics
- Chim Foo
- Ice Raiders
Due to an update, all players (non-members and members) could access trails. This followed the deletion of NC Trail Keys and Guest Passes.
Gameplay[edit]
Controls[edit]
To explore the worlds of Ook, players used the arrow keys on their keyboard. Jumping was controlled by pressing the space bar and pressing the arrow keys whilst jumping allowed the player to jump in that direction. Pressing the space bar then the down arrow whilst in midair made the character do a dive bomb towards the ground. The player could also press either the CTRL key or the X key on their keyboard whilst facing an in-game NPC to either access new quests or obtain various information about Ook and its residents. The game had five equippable hot keys (C, V, B, N, and M) to control weapons, potions, pets and any other items players wished to access quickly.
Currency[edit]
There were two types of currency in Monkey Quest. The main type of currency was bananas, which were commonly earned from quests and could be used at a vendor to buy items, whilst the other currency, NC (Nick Cash) could be bought with real money or could be earned by leveling up and could be used to buy items from the NC mall which was located at the bottom right corner of the screen in Monkey Quest.
Membership[edit]
There were membership plans that allow players to pay real life money for special features in the game such as access to all trails, the ability to join each tribe, along with accessing certain areas only available to paid members.[5]
Possibility of a film adaptation[edit]
In August 2012, Variety reported that Paramount Animation (which like Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom) was in the process of starting development of several animated movies with budgets of around US$100 million. According to Variety, the intellectual property for these films, which is to be supplied by Nickelodeon among others, included Monkey Quest.[6]
Zafaria Quest Line
Closure[edit]
On August 14, 2014, Nickelodeon announced that after 4 years of operation, Monkey Quest was being shut down permanently on September 26, 2014. Subsequently, every player was given membership for the remaining time of the game. Players were offered refunds for their memberships if they contacted Nickelodeon within a given time before the game shut down. The website was also updated with a closing message on the index page. The Monkey Quest website did not close until January 30, 2016. The game remained open for a month after the announcement, finally closing on the set date, September 26, 2014. After the game's closure, Monkey Quest's website was updated with a new FAQ to help with billing support and inform users about the game's closure. Monkey Quest's site, monkeyquest.com, now redirects to Nickelodeon's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/nickelodeon.

Zafaria Main Quest
Here’s another training point guide to make our collection of guides complete! Yes yes, you’re itching to see more about Mirage, we totally understand. Still, guides like these are important as well. Let’s get started!
Once you start questing in Zafaria, you can get the quest “Hey Hey It’s the Monkeys” from Zeke. First off, you can find Zeke in Baobab Crown, next to Eloise. For this Zafaria Zeke training point quest, you will need to find 7 sock monkeys.
Baobab Market
Firstly, the Baobab Market monkey is hiding close to the dock. Go past the creatures roaming around and find your way to the back of the building at the dock. Your first monkey is hiding between some boxes.
Savannah
Secondly, to find the Savannah monkey, go to the Savannah area on the left of the Baobab Crossroads and take the teleporter with the picture of a tree on it to the back of this area. The sock monkey is hidden behind one of the huts. The hut is on the right when you come from the teleporter, but I suggest you take the long way around. It’s really easy to get caught when you try to pass in front of the huts on the left.
Zamunda Outskirts
You can reach Zamunda Outskirts from Baobab Crossroads. To start with, locate the Longdreamer Shamans inside Zamunda Outskirts. Go past them to the pavilion near the river. The sock monkey is hiding underneath the tent behind some boxes and other stuff.
Zamunda
Go to Zamunda through Zamunda Outskirts. For the Zamunda Monkey you will have to use a sigil. Go to the Magician’s hut (you can teleport into this area if you haven’t unlocked the quest yet) and look to the left. The monkey is sitting on top of a shelf. You will be pulled into the battle, so you will have to defeat the boss first.
Stone Town
In Stone Town (which you can access from Baobab Crossroads with the teleporter), open your map to locate the Darajani Palace (it’s the main palace that has the queen lounging inside it). The sock monkey is inside the little courtyard surrounding the entrance of the palace. Find your sock monkey by going into the courtyard and to the left, behind the left wall.
Waterfront
When entering Waterfront, go to the area on the left, which has Belloq’s tent at the very end of it. This area is called The Sook, you can see it on the map. The monkey is inside the tea shop, which is on the left side of this area. Go into the building and up the stairs. The Waterfront sock monkey will be sitting near Zarafa Bayleaf. You can actually do the whole of Zafaria without unlocking this tea shop. My Life doesn’t have access to the area and needed to teleport in.
Elephant Graveyard
When entering Elephant Graveyard from Drum Jungle, turn left. If you’re using the teleporter from Baobab Crossroads, you’ll actually have to turn right. Go to the very end of the area, past the Drum House. The sock monkey is hiding behind a gravestone near the river.
And that’s all of them, congratulations!
