Hi Pandas,

Everyday here in the Panfu Headquarters we receive lots of pictures, comments and letters from you. We love receiving them and are really happy that you all love Panfu so much!

But sometimes we get messages about the Panfu Gold Package. A lot of you find it unfair that you have to pay for the Gold Package and that non-gold pandas can’t do as much as the gold pandas.

Only if you have the Panfu Gold Package can you buy clothes and dress your panda, decorate you tree-house, adopt a pet Bolly or go to the underwater school- Why? A lot of you have asked.

You now, we would like to make all pandas gold pandas but then there would be no Panfu anymore! You see, the money we get for the Panfu Gold Package we use to pay for all the things we need to make Panfu exist – The rent for the Panfu Headquarters office, the people in the Panfu team, the computers we need to make Panfu, the advertising for Panfu and even the coffee we drink in the office so we can work late into the night!

It’s only because we make some money from the Panfu Gold Package that we can afford to have all these things so that we can continue making Panfu the best web-site for kids. That means that ever cent that is paid for a Panfu Gold Package counts!

On many other web-site you have to pay straight away or else you can’t play at all. We don’t want to do that, we want everyone to be able to play and that’s why non-gold pandas can join in the fun.

Did you know that you can get a Panfu Gold Package for free if you invite your friends to join Panfu? If any of these friends you invite become a gold panda by buying the Panfu Gold Package, then you too will get a Panfu Gold Package for a week absolutely free!

Try it out! Click on the “Invite Your Friend” button in the menu bar. (The button which has a panda wearing sunglasses!)

We hope this has made it a little easier for you to understand why we have the Panfu Gold Package.

Have fun in Panfu!

Your friendly Panfu team.

PS: Max and Ella will be back later!

Hi Pandas!

We were just at the Panfu headquarters and we have fabulous news for you!

Tomorrow is Mini-Gold-Panda-Day! What does that mean?

Well, tomorrow every panda who isn’t normally a gold panda will get to have a taste of what it’s like to have the Panfu Gold Package. This means that most of the features available for gold pandas will be open to ALL pandas! But only for tomorrow: Tuesday, 9th December 2008.

So get playing in Panfu tomorrow and you’ll be able to visit the new horse stables and play the cool new game there or get to see the fantastic fireworks display at the volcano! Even the under-water school will be open for all pandas!

But it’s only for tomorrow! Tell you friends and see you in Panfu!!!

Hello pandas,

The Panfu Gold Package fairy has been busy trying to identify a random panda winner every day who will win the Panfu Gold Package for one month.

Well, some time last month, she was late to work and when we called her, she was still in bed! In short, she told us that she was just too exhausted and needs a break.

 Well, how could we say “No” to her? She looked utterly exhausted and so sad. So the fairy has gone on vacation for some time and she will let us know when she’s back in Panfu.

But don’t despair! We have another competition for you clever pandas.

Instead of a fairy’s magic wand choosing the lucky daily winner, it will now be up to you!

A quiz will be presented to you with three riddles. If you are the panda who answers them the quickest and with all answers correct, you win the Panfu Gold Package for one month FREE!

Where can you find the quiz? Look for the “Quiz-Wagon” standing somewhere in Panfu. 

Good luck!

Hello Pandas!

Are you looking to update your tree-house? Well, the new furniture catalogue has a lot of new things to tickle your fancy! The new items are like nothing you have seen in the catalogue before!

What are we talking about?

Normal stuff of course! Toilets, wash basins, mirrors, showers etc. Because every panda needs to keep up their personal hygiene! Now there’s no excuse for unbrushed teeth or dirty fingernails!

Starting next week, you can purchase all your personal toiletries such as panda toothpaste and bath oils! Enjoy!

Hello pandas,

Many of you are sad that you can only do certain things in Panfu only if you have bought the Panfu Gold Package. So we want to tell you again why this package exists and why we can’t get rid of it. (Believe us, if we could get rid of it we would but unfortunately it’s not up to us!)

Panfu is not just a fun, exciting panda world where you can meet new friends and live in a tree house. There’s a lot of work going on behind-the-scenes!

If you knew what goes on in the Panfu headquarters you’re eyes would probably pop out of their sockets with the amount of buzz going on!

- In fact, when Ella and I went to the headquarters the first time, Ella was left speechless with her mouth wide open when she saw how many people there were! It was nice to see that some things can make Ella speechless!

- Oi, Max!

Here is a photo of some of the Panfu team members:

It’s not the entire team in this picture but let’s see if we can remember all the names:

 Oli, Niels, Antoine, Thomas, Valentin, Henrik, Alex, Stefan, Alex, Gereon, Martin, Magnus, Fredrik, Francesco, Paul, Agnieszka, Charlotte, Catherine, Anna, Christian, Alex ( There are a lot of people called Alex!), Manuel, Lise, Moritz, Matty, Anne Grit, Doreen, Meik, Eva, Rosana, Marc, Sascha, Abe, Melanie, Linda, Mumta (exotic name!), Kay, Jaro, Jiri, Björn, John, Sonja, Lucia, Ricard, Eli, Matty… Pheeeeeeew!

So maybe now it’s a little easier to understand why there’s a Panfu Gold Package. Because if there wasn’t, none of these people who create those cool games, quests, write stories, design clothes, create new worlds and even write this Blog; would have jobs!!!

 So next time you feel sad about the Panfu Gold Package, take a look at this photo and all the smiling faces here who work hard to make Panfu more fun for you!

And now for some good news! Did you know that the strange sounds we heard from the Professor’s laboratory are actually a new music-making machine, the Sintepan, he’s created?? And now YOU can compose our own music! Get yourself to the laboratory now and start fine-tuning your music skills!

This is for ALL Pandas! Gold and non Gold pandas.

 It’s freshly online today!

 Until next time, keep your eyes peels and your ears stiff, Pandas!

Have you seen that there is a new construction site in Panfu? This one is even larger than the one that was in the jungle!

Can you guess what is it?

The new site is going to be a fabulous new city for Gold-pandas only (those with the Panfu Gold Package)!

It is going to be an entire town with lots of surprises and we will of course try to find out more about this and report back to you.

But first, the Panfu team has instructed us to ask you what the new city should be called. Choose from the following options below and leave your choice as a comment in this Blog.

1.    San Franpanfu
