Bin Weevils is an online virtual world. Weevils live in bins and are controlled by kids (and adults) across the world. I've been playing it over the past week or so with my 6-year-old daughter, although she has mostly played independently. The main thing the game is about is interior design as each weevil has their own nest that they design based on items they can purchase with in-game currency on things like wallpaper, shelves, rugs and beds. They also earn trophies as they do some of the other things in the world like win games or reach the next level which they can show off in their nest because you can invite other players over to see and rate your nest.
And the nest-inspectors handbook is an extension of that. The nest inspector dishes out trophies to the weevils with the best nests (although you have to play the paid-for version of the game for this). This book gives some interior design tips. It shows some of the online products you can buy for your nest. Essentially it is like a catalogue (although not an extensive one, maybe just a sampler). As we were reading through it my daughter was pointing out the items that she had.
There are a couple of games in there to do, and three codes you can use in the game to unlock things for your nest but overall you can get by in the game perfectly well without it.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine UK. It is listed HERE.)
