Happy Thanksgiving from PolkaPets!

As people start to gather around the Thanksgiving table with friends and family, don’t forget to take time to reflect on your year and what you are most grateful for.

Here at PolkaPet World we’re thankful to our incredible community and we’ve got so much more to come, beginning with the next iteration of the Polygon Pet series!

As you loosen the belt and relax after your thanksgiving meal, it feels like an appropriate time to remind yourself of our Polygon Pets’ adventure story so far in Chapter One and Chapter Two, with Chapter 3 coming down the road VERY soon indeed…

And when you’re up to speed, why not lighten the Thanksgiving mood by sharing the story with loved ones and debating what might happen next to some of our favourite characters!

When you’ve done that (and no cheating), we’ve created a quiz for each chapter and some cool ways for you to interact with our Pets community including through our Twitter and Telegram/Discord channels! 

So, what are you waiting for? 

Happy Thanksgiving!
