eStore Items

Zingoz Lamp

Wacky Zingoz Porch Swing

World of Zingoz Water Slide

Zingoz Celebration Dress

In 2010, Ganz introduced the very first Wacky Zingoz Celebration item in the Ganz eStore, the animated Zingoz Lamp.

In 2011, three more items were added: Wacky Zingoz Porch Swing, World of Zingoz Water Slide, and Zingoz Celebration Dress.

Click-to-Win

During the Wacky Zingoz Celebration, yellow Wacky Zingoz float across the screen in Webkinz World. Players clicking on a Wacky Zingoz receive a special prize.

The Zingoz "drift" across the screen from left to right. They can only be seen on screens where the player's dock is showing. If the player has an extra window open in Webkinz World (like when shopping in the wShop), the Zingoz will float "under" the second window and may be difficult to click.

There has been speculation and rumor about the best place to be in Webkinz World to spot a Zingoz. The truth is, that the odds are exactly the same no matter where you are, as long as you can see your dock.

The prize for 2008 and 2009 was a Zingoz Plushie. The prize for 2010 was a Zingoz Wind Spinner. The prize for 2011 is a Free Ride Zingoz Hat.

Multiple Accounts

Some players like to have multiple accounts open so they can get as many Wacky Zingoz as possible. To open more than one account on the same computer, instead of going to www.webkinz.com to log on, go to

--> http://www.webkinz.com/webkinz.html?go=loadReturnUserW&aol=0&fs=0

If you copy that web address on to multiple windows, you will be able to log on to multiple accounts at the same time, as many accounts as you have access to. It may take some practice to get all of the windows spaced correctly, but if you place them just right across your screen, you can watch multiple accounts at once.

If you use Google Chrome, you can use a different method. First, open the Webkinz World login page normally. Then, right click on the bar at the top of the page. A menu should drop down. In than menu, you will see a "Duplicate" option. Click it, and a new login page will come up. Using this method, you can have any amount of pages open as you need.

Wacky Zingoz Timing

There IS a pattern to the timing of when Wacky Zingoz will float across the screen. It can't guarantee when you will see a Zingoz on your account, but can tell you the best times to keep an eye on the screen. For past Wacky Zingoz Celebrations, the Zingoz have been on an "eleven-minute schedule". Now, this doesn't mean you will get a Wacky Zingoz every eleven minutes but simply that you will have a chance of getting a Zingoz every eleventh minute.

For example, if you start a timer the moment you log on, pay attention for Zingoz at 11 minutes, 22 minutes, 33 minutes, 44 minutes, and so on. Depending on exactly when you start your timer during the log on process, you may be a few seconds off, so you may want to adjust your timer when you see your first Zingoz. Just don't miss the Zingoz in the process!

Other click-to-win events have been on other timing schedules, and there is no guarantee what the Wacky Zingoz Celebration schedule will be from year to year. Keep an eye on Webkinz Insider's front page. As soon as the timing is figured out, the information will be posted there.

Wacky Zingoz 600 Trophy

When the Wacky Zingoz game was first introduced to Webkinz World, all players who managed to hit the Zingoz for a distance of 600 in a single shot were awarded a Wacky Zingoz 600 Trophy. Sometime in 2007, Ganz changed the game's programming so that the trophy was no longer awarded. Many people thought that the trophy had been retired, but this turned out to not be the case.

Then in 2008, Ganz made the trophy "winnable" again for the week of the Wacky Zingoz Celebration.^[1] They did the same thing for the Celebrations in 2009 and 2010.^[2]

To get the Wacky Zingoz to go a distance of 600, you must hit him so that he says "Zingoz Man" and goes into a pose with one hand above his head. Now, you are not guaranteed to get a trophy every time he hits that pose, because there is still a random factor programmed into the game, but the more times you can hit him just right, the better your odds are of winning a trophy. For more information and screenshots, see the WIki page on Wacky Zingoz.

Wacky Zingoz 600 Trophies are only awarded during the Wacky Zingoz Celebration.
