Congratulations to WI member scotlandd on the first win of the new Wackyer Zingoz trophy! The game just came out today after Webkinz World's big updates. The trophy was won for completing level 10 in the game. Hope to see more wins, good luck players!!

 

 

 

 Webkinz Insider member Exoteric made it to level 16 in Fly the Whimsy Skies today. After level 9 she unlocked a new badge and at level 15 a new tagline for My Page.

 

For more information about My Page Badges be sure to visit our Webkinz Insider Wiki.

 

All over the forum this afternoon we have been getting reports of new advertisements popping up in Webkinz World.  Thank you to Webkinz Insider member GuppyGirl101 for this picture from her account.

 

Players who click on the advertisement are taken to the arcade, but there is no "Fly the Whimsy Skies" game there.  Perhaps we are getting a sneak peek at a future game to be added to Webkinz World?  As soon as any more information is revealed, we will bring it to you here.

 

Since "Atlantiles" debuted in the Webkinz World Arcade on Wednesday, we have been getting reports from our members that there seems to be a problem with the game.  Players are telling us that the game keeps locking up and going to a blue screen, eventually booting them out of Webkinz World.  Their High Scores are not recorded, and the KinzCash is not awarded.  Thank you to Webkinz Insider member monkeecj for this picture from his account.

 

By comparing the reports, we now know that this happens to every player who is able to complete Level Eight in the game.  So far, no one has been able to make it on to Level Nine.  Many are suspecting that the Trophy, or perhaps a Badge, for the game is supposed to be awarded at this point, but there is a problem in the programming that is preventing the game from moving forward.  Whatever the problem is, hopefully the programmers at Ganz will sort it out soon.  

For years, our users have asked the age-old old question -- Will Webkinz ever work on an iPhone or iPod Touch? Many of you may remember a month ago, when we told you that Goober's Lab was coming to the iPhone, but it never appeared in the App Store. Well, thanks to webkinzonfire9 from our Webkinz Forum, we can now confirm that the first official Webkinz iPhone App (and iPod Touch) has arrived and costs 99 cents! Just search for "Goobers Lab" in the App Store. And the best part, which delight all of you Webkinz fans -- the Kinz Cash you earn in the Goober's Lab game syncs to your Webkinz account!

 

The game will be perfectly familiar to all of you who know and love Goober's lab, including the ever-famous "Go Science!" exclamations! We've downloaded the app and can confirm that it works perfectly, and will log you in to you Webkinz account and sync the Kinz Cash you've earned.

 

You can even play "offline", and the game will "bank" your Kinz Cash earnings until you get another chance to sync up to your Webkinz accounts. I can see the Kinz Cash piling up already, and your "Angry Birds" might start feeling a little neglected! Read more for more screenshots.

 

UPDATE (August 17th):  Some of you have been winning the trophies while playing the App, but those trophies have not been transferred to your Webkinz accounts.  Justin, the owner of Webkinz Insider, contacted Ganz to find out what's going on:

 

"I've spoken with Ganz about the trophies and they weren't supposed to be awarded in the iPhone version, that's why references to them were removed from the instructions. 

However, since it is awarding them in game play, they are looking into the possibility of transferring the trophies from the iPhone to your Webkinz account. If it is possible, they will do it. If not, they'll remove the trophy earning from the game so that no one else gets confused."
