Packs

## What Are Packs?

Packs are a feature on Animal Jam that allows you to join other Jammers to do various activities together. You can do Pack Runs, an activity where you gather points and compete against others on the Leaderboard, or you could just hang out with your fellow Packmates in your Pack Hideout. However you spend your time in your Pack, there's a lot to un**pack** when it comes to this amazing feature on the game! So, allow me to go in full-depth about everything Pack-Related

## The Pack Quiz

Don't know what Pack to join? The Pack Quiz is a short and easy quiz only available for those not currently in a Pack. This quiz consists of 13 questions, which your responses to these questions will count to your result. It asks for things about you, things you like to do, and things your genuinely prefer over other things. All of your answers to the question add up to give you a certain Alpha Allegiance. There are six different outcomes to this test. The purpose of your result is to guide you to chose a Pack with that specific Allegiance your result gives.

## Pack Hideouts

Now that you've joined a Pack, it's time to head on over to your Pack Hideout. A Pack Hideout is one of the many features of an Animal Jam Pack. There are currently six different hideouts, matching that Pack's Pack Allegiance. There's a Cosmo Hideout, Greely Hideout, Peck Hideout, Liza Hideout, Graham Hideout, and Sir Gilbert Hideout. Each of these hideouts contain a certain theme and color pallet. For example, the Graham Hideout consists of a lot of gears and invention-like items and colors to match Graham, the Alpha who enjoys to invent various devices.

### The Two Types of Hideouts

There are currently two different kinds of Hideouts. One is the ALPHA HIDEOUT, where every Pack who has the same Pack Allegiance can go, and the regular Pack Hideout, the one only people in YOUR pack can go to. Anybody from any Pack can be in the Alpha Hideout, whereas only members of a select pack can go to theirs.

## Pack Runs and the Pack Leaderboard

### What is a pack run?

A pack run is one of the many pack features that are in a Pack. Each run is exactly five minutes long, and you must collect pack points, which are usually in the form of the monthly Pack Theme.

### Pack Leaderboard

The Pack Leaderboard is used to determine what packs have the most of the packs monthly theme by displaying all the data on this lovely board. There are two pieces of the Leaderboard, the current stats of this relevant theme, and the all time stats for said theme. There are also pack stats within a pack. This is basically a smaller leaderboard containing the stats for that pack's members.

### "Champions"

#### Background

Champions, as you may guess by the title, were an elite group of Jammers that take Pack Running to the extreme. The expectations for a member were astronomically high and staying in was a task at hand. Although, all of the members were close friends with each other because of constantly running and communicating with each other. This pack used to crush is every single month, no matter how close people got, they always were the first ones to the top when the new run theme came out. Running was practically second nature to them until Ethrea announced the pack would be retiring. She claimed that her school work was getting ahead of her and she just wouldn't be able to live up to the old status quo anymore. Because of this, Champions closed it's doors after two years of running on May 13th, 2022. That was the end of Champions. But just because they quit doesn't mean their legacy won't be remembered. They were *the* pack that all the other packs wanted to get ahead of. They were always one step ahead, so really, they will never be forgotten, even if another pack steps up ahead. They will always been our Champions.

#### Background

V!cetone is the current raining champ when it comes to running these days. Ever since the pack Champions retired, they've been crushing it. Even before Champions retired, MisterViceTone and his pack was chugging strong, nailing either second or third place under Champions. They're an extremely active and deticated Pack, running constantly. Not only that, but they also have a certain theme to their Pack, you can see this in various fan Masterpiece work. V!cetone is commonly known for having a Sci-Fi Internet theme, or as some people call it, a hacker theme. Overall, this Pack is one of the most legendary Packs to exist on Animal Jam.

## Packs

#### Background

Willow's Whisper is a very old and experienced pack that's been around since 2017. They've been cramming on the Pack Leaderboard since 2017. Because of the Pack's age and rank, all the members have close connections and bonds with each other. Many people refer to the pack as, "Family." Although, the pack went on a hiatus after Chellesden44, the pack owner, vanished from the game for a really long time. Although, in late 2021, they returned and have been doing better than ever when it comes to running terms.
