As the first day of Spring dawns, from the town hall, a kit dressed as a court jester emerges and gently blows a long, high pitched horn. As is tradition, they get a custard pie to the face. Laughter rings out from the jester for all to hear!

The Day of The Fool has officially begun! 

All around, kits playing harmless pranks and practical jokes on their loved ones, people participating in various bets and games, and plenty of bright colours and jingling bells to give homage to the original fool, the court jester! Watch out, there are custard pies, whoopie cushions and banana peels galore!

The Day of the Fool is a chance for all to let loose and allow their fun and playful side to come to the forefront! After all, as long as everyone is happy, what’s the harm in a joke or two!

Of course, some may be more willing to take advantage of the jovial, fun-filled atmosphere of such a holiday for their own benefit… Perhaps their gambles may even be worth taking…

That’s right everyone! The Day of the Fool is now upon us! Today marks the very first day of the April Fool’s event, and that’s no joke!

We’ve worked hard to put together this fun mini-event for all of you to partake in! We’ve got some fun limited-time prompts available, a special new item, and a brand new pet! 

The keen-eyed among you may have already spied our latest pet, Jester! A relative of Tester (at least that’s what they’ve told us), this cutie is here to bring the fun and excitement of the day to the world and they may just come home with you!

In addition to Jester, you may have also seen our newest item - Dealer’s Dice! This cool item is something which staff will have to manually roll the results of, but you’ll get a randomly rolled trait to add to your genekit with it! 

“How do I get these marvelous things?” you may ask. Why, by doing the quests of course! Among our three limited-time prompts for this event, you’ll get 25 gems plus a chance to get something on the event’s loot table! 

See the new prompts here!

This event is going to run for two weeks! Starting from April 1st to April 19th [Eastern time]!

After this time, the limited-time prompts will disappear from the prompt list and you will no longer be able to do them!

We hope you have fun!

welcome one and all!

It's been a long time coming....

Thank you all for being here and coming along for the ride. I am proud to announce that Genekits are now (softly at least) OPEN!!!!

But what does this mean exactly? See below for details

Staff Applications

I wanted to open up the opportunity to bring on some new members of the team!! 2 years in, it is time to expand our team, and hopefully get some more fun things up faster.

Members of staff do have additional rules for their positions that they must follow, including but not limited to timelines for task completion. Staff are also held to a strict code of conduct and non-disclosure agreement (i.e. what happens in staff chat stays in staff chat! Don't ruin the fun surprises c; ). Failure to abide can result in dismissal from staff.

First up, Asset Artists!

We invite anyone interested in helping to create art for the site to apply! This includes item art, banners, awards, pets, and examples for guides among tons of other things. There is a lot of work to be done here, and I have a lot of ideas, so we are looking for someone excited and passionate about bringing this world to life to fill this role.

Apply Here!

Next up, Lore Writers!

This position is a new one for Genekits; I am looking for writers to help flesh out the world, provide flavour text, come up with prompt ideas and categories, and help with events and other things around the site. They will be working close to me to develop parts of the game!

Apply Here!

And finally, the long awaited by some - Archivists

This position takes care of the master list for us - double checking traits on our adopts before they go up, approving myos, answering trait questions, updating refs - anything and everything to do with the master list!

Applications for all positions are open until February 1st 2025
