Expect questions on the Alphas and the guardian spirits of Jamaa, the animals you can play, lands, shops and minigames, adventures, currencies, seasonal events and the people who make the game. A few odd-one-out questions ask you to spot the animal that does not belong. It is written for players of any age who want to find out how well they really know Jamaa.
