Our Kickstarter was funded! Continue supporting the Virtual Worlds Museum™ through our Sponsor Page.
SmallWorlds was an online virtual world and social network service created by Outsmart Games, a game development company based in Auckland, New Zealand. The virtual world used Adobe Flash and ran inside a web browser, as Google Chrome was most recommended when playing this game. It integrated with YouTube, Flickr, SoundCloud, and a number of other Web 2.0 services.
SmallWorlds blended social networking, room decoration, and casual gaming into a cohesive virtual lifestyle platform. It influenced the rise of hybrid social‑game ecosystems that bridged Facebook gaming and avatar‑based worlds. The platform’s emphasis on user‑created spaces and collectible items helped shape early digital‑economy norms. SmallWorlds demonstrated that mid‑core social worlds could thrive through creativity and community events.
