Trading guide

The trading board is the heart of Trade A Jellycat!. Every control below comes straight from the creator’s description — and every piece of strategy is labelled as the practical tip it is.

Confirmed — stated by the game creator Player tip — practical advice, not a documented mechanic

How a trade works, step by step

All four steps are confirmed by the creator description.

  1. Meet on the board Confirmed

    A trade starts when two players stand together on a trading board.

  2. Place your Jellycats Confirmed

    Each player places the Jellycats they want to trade onto the board.

  3. Negotiate with the plus sign Confirmed

    Not happy with the offer? Jump on the plus sign to ask the other player to add more Jellycats to their side.

  4. Accept or cancel Confirmed

    Both players jump on the check mark to accept the trade — or jump on the cross to cancel it. The trade only completes when both sides accept.

Control reference

Three symbols, all activated by jumping on them.

Check mark — accept

Both players must jump on the check mark to accept. One acceptance alone does not complete the trade.

Cross — cancel

Jumping on the cross cancels the trade.

Plus sign — ask for more

Jumping on the plus sign asks the other player to add more Jellycats.

Practical trading tips

These are coaching, not mechanics — each one follows from how the documented controls behave.

Player tip

Read the whole board before you jump

Both players use the check mark to accept. Review the Jellycats you plan to trade before jumping; this is practical caution, not a claim about undo behavior.

Player tip

Plus before cross

Use the plus sign when you want the other player to add more Jellycats; use the cross when you want to cancel. Choosing between them is practical advice.

Player tip

Trade with friends first

The creator describes trading as something you do with friends to complete inventories. Trading with people you know makes “what is this worth to you?” a conversation instead of a gamble.

Player tip

Remember rarity is real but undefined

Some Jellycats are rarer than others (confirmed), but our review found no reliable exact tiers or values. Treat any claimed price list with caution.
