List of Other Build-A-Bear Brands

Build-A-Bearville
In late October 2007, Build-A-Bear Workshop opened a massively multiplayer online game called Build-A-Bearville (also known as Bearville), developed in association with Frima Studio. It allowed users to play games, explore an expanding world, partake in special events, and chat in a safe community. In addition, Build-A-Bear was featured on an episode of Undercover Boss.
Redeemable codes were sold with some products from Build-A-Bear Workshops that could be used to unlock features and content within the game. However, these were not required in order to play. Anyone could create an account and play with access to most of the game’s features, even if they had not purchased a product from a Build-A-Bear Workshop.
In January 2015, users received an email from the company stating that the virtual world will close on March 31st, 2015 it will be no longer playable after that time. It was replaced by the kids’ site “Bearville Alive!”, containing a web series featuring Build-a-Bear characters.

So far, nothing has changed the decision of the Build-A-Bear staff for closing the site down.
