Den Tips & Ideas

Haunted House - Haunted Houses are really fun to make, but also to visit! Whether it's spooky season, or the middle of summer, a haunted house will sure to entertain every jammer that visits it! Here are some basic steps to make you're den the spookiest it can be!

• Find a den! Almost any den will work, but make sure it's not underwater (Sunken Ship; Lost Ruins), too big (Igloo Estate; Liza's Garden), and too confusing (Peck's Den; Grahams Observatory). Some dens I recommend are Autumn Small House (if you're a NM), Epic Haunted Manor, and the Ol' Barn. 
  
  
• Get your decorations! This step is easiest when closest to Halloween, but if it's not, have no fear! I'm sure many other jammers have Halloween decorations and they're really not worth much, so it will be easier to trade for them. Some of my favorite Halloween decorations are the Phantom Smog (non member and great for spooky dens), Spiderweb variations (including the Giant Spider Web, Ceiling Web, and Floor Web), and Tombstones. 
  
  
• *optional Place some buddies! This is an optional step, but is sure to bring your Haunted House to the next level! Place some buddies behind pieces of furniture in your house and have them pop out at jammers walking through your den! It's sure to give a fright, and is really entertaining for both of the jammers! 

Arcade - Arcades are also a really cool den decorating idea! Buy games and claws from the Arcade in Jamaa Township or the Diamond Shop to decorate! Make it a private party with just a few buddies, or spread the word around Jamaa and host a whole group party! Here are some tips when hosting your party!

• Have enough games! Make sure when you're making your Arcade, you have plenty of games! I know non members can be limited, so you can fill the extra space with furniture and snacks to keep your guests entertained! 
  
  
• Pick a good den! Of course, you need to pick the right den! Lucky for you, the Arcade den is an exact replica of the Arcade shop in Jamaa Township! If you are a non member, I recommend really any variation of the small house den. 
  

Park Den - Are you a nature lover? An outdoor admirer? Well, then the Park Den is a den you're sure to love, especially if you invite some buddies to enjoy it with you! Here are some tips for designing your park den!

• Select a den! First, pick a den! I strongly recommend the Spring Small House, but any other nature-y small den would be good too! 
  
  
• Decorate! A park has a lot of unique characteristics including: benches, trees, flowers, maybe a fountain, etc. These items are in Jamaa and pretty easy to find. The flowers and trees can be found in Treetop Gardens, while the picnic tables were part of the School den item collection and are very easy to find! 

"Fancy" Den - Do you have some high-end, fancy items that you have no clue what to do with? How about you make a fancy den! Store all of your epic, rare, diamond items here and continue adding until you have a collection! Here are some tips for your DIY fancy den:

• Find a den! Like the others, start out by picking your den! Depending on the amount of items you have, I would pick a smaller-ish den like any of the Small Houses or dens like the Mushroom Hut, Enchanted Hollow, etc. 
  
  
• Add your items! Next, add in your fancy items! Sometimes what I like to do is group certain items with similarities together like den betas and masterpiece tokens for example. Then I'll put a little fence around it, and those are different groups!
