Blooper News: Stripy Toque as a Racing Helmet?

Submitted by FIA on Fri, 09/26/2008 - 12:30am.

Many of our members have discovered an interesting glitch with the new Stripy Toque that was added to the wShop last week. When a Webkinz wearing the new toque smiles, waves, or flips, the animation for the toque changes briefly from the winter hat to what appears to be a "racing helmet". Could this be a sneak peek at a future item? At this point, we don't know, but some of our members who are racing fans are very excited about the possibility.

WI Member Completes Rock The Boat Treasure Map

Submitted by fairlyoddmom on Thu, 09/25/2008 - 7:51am.

Congratulations to one of our newest members schmoopie for being the first to report finding all four pieces of the ancient treasure map in Rock the Boat, one of the games you can play when you send your pet on a Tropical Island Vacation. It took 19 vacations for schmoopie to piece together the map. Once the fourth piece is found, the entire map is revealed, complete with an "X" marking the spot of the treasure. No other digging around was necessary; the WWS Narwhal treasure box pictured below simply appeared in schmoopie's dock.

Dragging the box into the room, reveals THREE prizes. A Tropical Island Treasure Chest, a Mermonkey Artifact and a Ghost's Gold Doubloon. We're not quite sure what, if anything, the gold coin will do. All three prizes appear to be kinzpostable! Here is a picture of all three prizes as well as a pic of schmoopie's pet frog enjoying the new prizes. Congratulations!

Members Report Unlimited Darts in Quizzys Blast!

Submitted by Justin on Tue, 09/23/2008 - 6:23am.

Last night, during the 9-10pm Quizzy's Blast activity, many of our forum users discovered that the number of darts was unlimited! At this time, we're not sure if this is related to the 128 Quick Draw chances that our users noticed on Saturday. We're also not sure if these occurrences were the result of a glitch, or if they were designed to give everyone some extra fun, but we'll be keeping a closer eye on our own hourly activities to see what might happen next! Thanks to madge06 for providing a screenshot of her dart board!
