Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended for unsupervised play; young children will enjoy animal visuals but may be upset by animal fights, blood, or death — play together and use parental controls. citeturn0search0

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Possible with close supervision: the creative aspects are age-appropriate, but parents should be present because the game shows animal fighting, blood, and feces and contains complex management mechanics. citeturn0search0turn1search6

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Generally suitable — ESRB rates E10+. Good for learning planning, budgeting, and animal biology; consider limiting purchases (DLC/season pass) and supervise online sharing. citeturn0search0turn3search2

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Recommended for teens who enjoy simulation and creative design. Social sharing features are present but not core gameplay — advise using moderated sharing and watch for community content. citeturn3search0turn4search0

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Appropriate and engaging for older teens and adults; deep management systems and mod/Workshop sharing provide long-term creative and strategic play. DLC purchases may expand content but are optional. citeturn0search1turn3search2
