Panfu is an MMORPG similar in gameplay to Club Penguin. Players can create a custom panda character and then explore the game world, participating in games, challenges and activities or engaging other human-controlled characters. Players can purchase clothing for their panda, and furniture for their treehouse using an in-game shop. The game is free-to-play with paid subscriptions for additional features such as exclusive clothing and furniture, weekly gifts, the ability to adopt pets, exclusive quests and mini-games, and having the game be ad-free.
Typical activities include mini-games which the player can access at any time, and play solo or with others depending on the mini-game, and quests which require the player to search through the game map for special items, or for special characters to talk to, to advance the quest.
The in-game chat was shut down sometime in 2015, and the game’s servers were shut down in November 2016.
