Playfish
Playfish, currently a property of Electronic Arts, is a developer of free-to-play social network games.

, has been ranked as one of the most popular Facebook applications. New players custom design their pets, choosing genders, names, colours, and features (such as; ears, nose, mouth etc.)

There are a variety of activities with which the user can interact with the pet, including washing, brushing, petting and feeding the pet. There are also activities whereby pets can interact with the pets of those in the "friends" network. A pet can visit the pets of their friends and perform the same activities to these pets (washing, grooming, feeding, etc.). A pet can visit other pets as many times per day as it is inclined. Pets will receive coins on the first visit to each friend of the day and Paw Points on this and each subsequent visit. Ways to earn coins in Pet Society include the Daily Lottery, visiting friends, winning awards, cleaning or playing with pets, winning hurdle races or betting on the outcome of hurdle races. Ways to earn Paw Points are varied and include visiting friends, buying items and using the stadium.

On the 1st of April, 2010, there was an April fool joke in Pet Society. There was an option of selecting the game in 3D, and when the option was selected, the game would show a 'loading' bar, when, after that would finish, a message appeared, saying "April Fool!"

Levels

Earning a certain number of paw points makes the pet level up, in order to gain some coins, new features and special status. When originally release there were only 23. After 11 additional levels added, level number is totally 34. After houses were enlarged to accommodate ten rooms, an additional 13 levels were added bringing the total to 47. Pet Society had undergone some major changes, including Paw Point Changes. Points were being reset after each level. Nobody was sure of how many paw points needed, as paw points were hard to earn. After many complaints, Playfish changed the paw points back. In August 2010 pet society introduced further more new levels, increasing from level 47 to level 100, which requires over 1 million paw points.

Hideeni

Finding Hideeni, a mysterious black animal in a costume, in your house, a friend's house or in a Shop gives the player an opportunity to send a special gift to his or her friends. In Facebook, the availability of a gift is posted to a player's news feed where his or her friends can see it and click a link to claim the gift. Gifts are available to the first five friends who click to claim them; any friends thereafter get a message telling them that all the gifts have been claimed and keep looking for another gift post soon.

In October 2009, Hideeni donned a yellow chicken costume and gave out Cute Puppy Plushies.

At the start of Thanksgiving, he changed into a turkey costume and gave out Cute Squirrel Plushies.

In December, he kept the same costume from Thanksgiving, but now gave out Cute Reindeer Plushies.

During the Valentine's season of 2010, he gave Long Stem Roses, available in 12 different colors (dark purple, light purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, peach, pink, blood, deep fuchsia, white and black), while wearing a pink tiger costume to celebrate the year of the tiger.

He later dressed as the Easter bunny and gave out some eggs. There were 14 eggs in total and the rainbow, mosaic and human eggs were supposedly the rarest.

He then appeared in a white spacesuit, giving out galaxy themed items.

He sported a new look in honor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and gave out 15 flags of countries participating. The flags were being offered as long as the teams remained in the competition, although all 32 nations in the World Cup weren't included in this group of flags.

In July 2010 Hideeni went on a short vacation.

On July 30 Hideeni came back wearing an Octopus costume, giving out 15 different seashells.

On September 9, Hideeni was dressed as a pink pineapple giving 12 new fruit plushies. Once you collected all plushies you would get a yellow pineapple costume.

On October 14, as part of the Halloween Special, Hideeni was dressed as a pink pumpkin, giving out 12 new Halloween candy plushies. Once you've collected all plushies you would get a pumpkin costume.

On November 5 Hideeni was dressed as a pink monkey giving 12 different colored gems. Once you've collected all the gems you would get a brown monkey costume as a reward.

For the 2010 winter holiday season, Hideeni could be seen wearing a giant snowball costume with wings and handed out 12 snowflakes which spun when stuck to your wall. Once you collected all of the snowflakes, you received a giant snowball costume much like Hoosier's, but without the wings and ears.

When it was Valentine's Day, Hideeni came back and gave roses. There were 12 roses. He was dressed as a yellow duckling. And you'll get the costume after you get all 12 roses.

At Easter, he's was dressed as a chocolate eggs with blue ribbons. You'll get that costume but after finishing complete the 9 egg collection. You'll get it with white colour and pink ribbon.

From Thursday, May 12, Hideeni wore bubbles costumes. He had 10 adorable bath toys for you to collect. Collecting them all would give you an exclusive Bubble Bath Outfit.

From then, Hideeni wore a clown's costume. Hideeni gave out 10 colourful balloons for you to collect. Once you have collected all 10 from your friends you will get a funny clown outfit (note, colours may vary).

Starting from 10/6/11 Hideeni wore an outfit that looked like a devil and gave out 10 baby pumpkins for you to collect. Once you have collected all the 10 baby pumpkins from Hideeni, it will reward you with a mischievous outfit.

Petlings

The first update of February, 2010, brought a new feature to players: Petlings. Petlings are small bundles of fun that grow up to become any range of cute little animal "pets" for your Pet Society pet, the first petlings introduced being cats and dogs. Kittens are first available at level 5 and cost 1,000 coins; puppies are available at level 10 and cost 1,200 coins. You can only raise one petling (from fluff-stage to adulthood) at a time, and they need to be fed daily. Once you purchase a petling from the Garden Center, it goes into your inventory; at home, you can pull your petling out of your inventory and release it into any room of your house. A box will come up, asking you to name your new petling; names cannot be changed once they're entered as of this time.

Petlings come in several different colors (black, white, blue, grey, light brown, brown, dark brown and pink), with a variety of different appendages to make each petling almost unique. Eyes, ears, tails and legs can all vary from petling to petling. The second update of February introduced colored biscuits (which cost 2 PF cash) that you could feed your petling to change its color, with each biscuit colored to correspond to the color your petling would become upon eating. Currently, there's no way to customize your petling's appearance, besides colored biscuits and a new petling "makeover" potion. The 4 PF cash potion will change everything about your petling except for its color.

Cats and dogs eat different things; cats will request either salami, ebi sushi, milk or strawberry milk, while dogs request a tamago sushi, rare steak, sandwich or bone. When your petling is hungry it becomes restless and teary-eyed, and a bubble will appear over its head, featuring one of the foods it eats. You can feed the petling any food item in your inventory, but only the food the petling is requesting will satisfy it.

If your petling goes for three days without food, it will run away. Once your petling has run away, you can either pay a coin fee to have it retrieved, or post a status update to your Facebook news feed to have your friends find it for you. Putting your petling into your inventory does not prevent it from running away.

Once your petling has grown into adulthood, you're then able to buy another petling. As of this writing, you're limited to owning ten petlings at any given time, regardless of species. Once a petling has reached adulthood, you have the option of selling it for a third of its original price in coins. Petlings are not recyclable.

The third update of February introduced a third variety of petling: A tiger. The tiger petling could be purchased from either the Garden Center or the Cash Shop for 25 PF cash, and was raised in much the same way as the cat and dog petlings. (10% of the purchase price of PF cash items in the WWF collection, including the tiger petling, went to benefit the WWF.) The tiger petling eats ebi sushi, rare steak, chicken drumstick and lamb shank. Included in this update was a seventh color-changing biscuit: Orange.

The update of February brought a fourth petling breed: A coyote. The coyote petling could be purchased in the Garden Center for 2,000 coins and has the same diet as the tiger. This update also introduced petling beds: Baskets for your petlings to sleep in. Petlings largely ignore these baskets, but they are nice decorations.

On March 8, 2010 Playfish released lion petlings that cost 2,500 coins. The lion eats the same things as the coyote and tiger. Updates included random fur and eye colors now for the lion, coyote and the tiger. Also in March, Playfish gave players a chance to buy a baby lamb for 20 PF Cash. The lamb eats cauliflower, milk, broccoli, and leek.

For one month (May 21 until June 20, 2010), Playfish offered a bear petling for 23 PF cash. It could be bought individually or as part of the WWF Bear Bundle. The bear eats banana, bone, lamb shank and rare steak.

At the end of July 2010, Playfish released leopard petlings that cost 3,200 coins. These petlings eat the same foods as the lion, coyote, or tiger petlings. Random fur and eye color is available.

The Summer 2010 updates also introduced the Petling Resort and Petling Mansions, which are premium room items that can house up to three petlings at a time and keep them fed/happy without having to worry about them running away from starvation. The resort and the two mansions can be purchased for 45 PF cash apiece from the Garden Center. The resort is a rock and waterfall structure, and the mansions resemble fancy pet houses (one white and the other purple).

On September 3, 2010 Playfish released a bunny petling for 22 PF cash. The bunny eats carrot, leek, cauliflower and broccoli (and is likely the least expensive petling to feed).

Later on December 20, 2010 Playfish introduced Reindeer Petlings together with other Christmas themed items. It sold for 22 PF cash and consumed waffles, biscotti, tiramisu and golden chocolate coin.

Then, Unicorn Petlings were introduced. Though these cannot be found in shops. But rather if you have the cash still called Playfish Cash instead of Pet Society Cash. If you still have the cash under the name Playfish Cash, it will be converted into Pet Society Cash & it will still be the same amount, & you are also rewarded with a Unicorn Petling (pink).

Later, on May 16, 2011, Turtle Petlings were released to go along with the theme of the week- High Seas. They were sold for 20 PS Cash. Along with it was the Pale Green Petling Biscuit which sold for 2 PS Cash. It ate apples, Milk, bananas, and Sandwiches.

More and more Petlings are created throughout the game. The designs are much more splendid and the animation is much more better than the past few years of Petlings.
This includes : The Skunk, The Hippogriff, More and more houses for your pet to live in and many more futuristic petlings and furniture have took place in Pet Soicety. In the future animation and all of the colours of all Petlings will change.

(Note):Petling biscuits were available from the lottery until things have changed.

Challenges

On Thursday, April 21, 2011, "Challenges" were introduced. Golden Fish Bait was a new gift to send to friends and was given out throughout the week on the fan page. When fishing with it, players will catch one of six Golden Fish. Once players have collected all six, they will be rewarded with a Giant Royal Teddy, in conjunction with the Royal wedding week.

On Thursday, May 5, 2011, the new limited lottery wheel was introduced to players. On the lottery wheel, players would see some beautiful fluttering butterflies. Players would have to try and spin the wheel to get a butterfly. There were blue, pink, red, yellow and green butterflies.

The items were for decorating the house on Fellowship Of The Paw week, which is based on one of the episodes of Lord Of The Ring.

On Thursday, June 2, 2011, The Mayor's Garden Pals Collection was a challenge where players have to fish, get free gifts, find links on the fan page and the Lost Animals Quest to get a garden pal. There were snails, ladybugs and bees. The items on the fan page were limited and players would have to get them on the same day Pet Society published the link. The garden pals from the fishing, free gift and quest were also limited. Players who got all garden pals received a free garden with three plots.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2011, the event, Free Seeds, were introduced to players. Pet Society gave pets a free seed from June 29, 30 and July 1. Players who played Pet Society on the listed dates would get a free seed for their Romantic Garden plots (see The Mayor's Garden Pals Collection).

On Thursday, June 30, 2011, Five Elements Fish Bait was a new free gift to send to friends and was given out throughout the week on the fan page. When fishing with it, players will catch one of the five Element Fishes. Once players have collected all five, they will be rewarded with a Bouncy Shape Shifting Five Elements Ball. Players will get to wear the reward on their heads.

After that there was a challenge where it is also about fish baits. Based on Snow White week you have to collect all of the fishes to get rewarded with a witch outfit with a poisonous apple.

Taking Photos

Players can choose to take pictures of their pets at almost any point of the game. Clicking the camera icon would bring up a window asking for the type of print-Room, Room & Pet, Closeup or Portrait.
