The Spirit Animals Website was the official website of Spirit Animals. The game and the forums used to be found there, but now you cannot access either. The website was also connected to Worlds Collide, a series of events that included Spirit Animals, The 39 Clues, TombQuest, and Infinity Ring, the four main 'multi-platform' Scholastic series. You can see an early version of the website here.
Forums[]
The forums, otherwise known as the SAMB (Spirit Animals Message Board), was a message board that people who read Spirit Animals went on. It was run by admins, and occasionally the characters and authors of the series posted on the forums and interacted with the fans. Book cover reveals and game-related news were posted on the forums as well. Some of the admins who were on the website are also authors, e.g. Nick Eliopulos (Nick E) and Gavin Brown (Gavin B). A wiki for the denizens of the SAMB, as well as other Scholastic message boards, can be found here.
Character Posts[]
Part of the forums' appeal was the ability for players to "interact" with characters from the books. In total, there were 5 accounts used for this. The characters that would post are: Conor, Abeke, Meilin, Rollan, and Shane, although Shane rarely posted.
Character Post History[]
Although all forums the characters posted to were deleted as of 2019, the post history of character accounts was preserved by the Wayback Machine. The details are as follows:

Clans[]
Clans were joinable player-made groups, each with its own name, creed, and crest. Each hero a player had made on their Spirit Animals account could've been a part of one clan at a time. Players were given the option of either creating a new clan, or joining an existing one. If you chose to create a clan you would've been able to:
- NAME YOUR CLAN: This could've been any name you like, but it had to be approved by the moderators. No two clans would've been permitted to have the same name.
- WRITE YOUR OWN CLAN CREED OR MOTTO: When a player created a clan they would've been able to have an official creed or motto that would've been displayed on their clan’s profile. This would've needed to be approved by our moderators as well.
- CREATE YOUR CLAN CREST: Players who chose to create a clan would've been able to use our clan crest creation tool. This was a series of pre-made art, emblems and colors that could've been combined to make a unique crest for a clan. The clan crest would've appeared on a hero’s avatar, showing everyone which clan they are a part of!
Trivia[]
- To create a clan was 6 Greenheart Tokens, whereas to join a clan was 1 Greenheart Token.
- The feature of clans attracted role players from fandoms like Warrior Cats to original roleplays with wolves or lions. As a result, there were many "clans" that were centered around role playing.
