NorthShore ArtScene: Thursday and Saturday mornings.

There are several den items in Animal Jam that were released during the Beta Testing phase of the game. They were only available for a short period of time, which makes these items very rare. Today, we are going to take a look at those Den Items. Keep in mind that there are items in this list that were technically not released during the Beta Testing phase, but are still seen as such by the Animal Jam community due to their rarity.

The list will be grouped into two different categories: Member and Non-Member Den Beta Items. We have already covered the Den Beta Floors and Walls in another post to keep things organized. If you are interested in seeing those, simply click here to be redirected to that post.

AJ Member Den Beta Items

We will first take a look at the Member Den Beta Items. There are a total of twelve items in this list.

The Claw

There is a min-game in Animal Jam that is simply called The Claw. In August of 2011, AJHQ released a den version of that mini-game, which is also called The Claw. This den item was rewarded to Animal Jam members as a Monthly Member Gift. It never appeared in any of the stores in the game, which makes it extremely rare.

In appearance, The Claw looks like a regular claw machine. It seems to be made out of solid wood, with four wooden poles to hold it up. There are differently colored plush toys within the machine. At the front of it, you will find several buttons, as well as a large game controller sign.

Item Value: Good Short Wrist or Bad Long Wrist or 3-4 Den Betas

Porch Swing

The Porch Swing item is a wooden swing that was released during May of 2011. It used to be sold at Coral Corner for 300 Gems. However, the item was removed from the stores when AJHQ decided to shut down Coral Corner completely.

In the pictures above, you can clearly see that the Porch Swing is made out of wood, and has strings of rope going through it to create a makeshift bench that is being held up. The bench appears to be made out of sticks, while the swing is being held up by larger logs.
