My City : Mansion

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that My City : Mansion is a virtual dollhouse that lets kids move and manipulate objects and characters in various locations. It may be difficult for young kids to pick up some of the smaller objects or hit small buttons, even if kids play on a larger screen like a tablet rather than a phone. The app is part of a large collection of virtual dollhouse-type apps that can all be linked together. If kids navigate around the neighborhood around the mansion, they'll run into storefronts and other areas that take them to ads to buy additional apps in the series so they can link to those locations. Daily gifts and push notifications encourage kids to play consistently and regularly. The app supports multi-touch play, so kids can play along with a friend. Some of the default placements of the characters enforce gender or racial stereotypes. For example, when kids enter the garage they find three male characters and no female characters. Or ,when they enter what appears to be an underground maid's room, they find an African-American woman wearing cleaning gloves. Also, the app is all about experiences of wealth and luxury, so there are clear messages of consumerism which make it more appropriate for older kids.
