This game/console's online features are no longer supported.
While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of December 2017) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

To do:
There are a lot more unused stuff in EekoHouse.

EekoWorld was a Flash site from PBS Kids featuring two games about conservation and the environment:

  • EekoHouse, a getting-ready-for-school simulator that teaches kids to make environmentally-conscious decisions (because, as we all know, schoolchildren are the largest contributors to climate change).
  • EekoCreature, a zoology sim in which you create your own creature, choose its habitat, and watch it interact with other kids' creatures. Sadly, an ecological disaster in 2017 caused a mass-extinction event.

Placeholder Text#

At one point, the site had a dictionary feature which taught vocabulary words like "wilderness", "endangered species", "pollution", etc. This is placeholder text for where the definitions would go.

This is placeholder text for where the dictionary words would appear. The SWF contains three of these placeholder texts, all identical to each other.

Unseen Objects#

EekoHouse - Kitchen#

Outside of the bounds of the kitchen from the game, there is a cat head, a carton of milk, and a frying pan placed beneath the map. However, the cat head was used when hovered over "Plants & Animals" in the sidebar.

Unused Sprites#

Living Room Bird#

Instances of the living room have this bird that briefly greets by the window. In the final version it never shows up at all.
