Players can visit SCOOT World online where they can also compete in carnival games, chat with others, collect inventory and customise their avatar. There have been 3 major SCOOT events in 2004, 05 and 06. The latest was played in Federation Square and 6 other cultural sites in Melbourne (Australia) including the Melbourne Museum and the National Gallery of Victoria.
