What is the Today’s Activities page?
|  |
The Today's Activities page is located in the "Things to Do" menu. This is the place to get coupons, find out about sales at the W Shop, and find out when Quizzy's questions and Arcade games are paying out bonus KinzCash.
|
|
|
Can you run an activity everyday?
| |
Unfortunately, not all games can be run every day, which is why we schedule them in the Daily Activities page. Doing this also helps to keep things more interesting around Webkinz World with new and exciting things happening every week!
|
|
|
How are they scheduled?
| |
The activities are scheduled to start later in the afternoon on weekdays and earlier on weekends. We schedule everything based on Eastern Standard Time because that is the time zone we are located in. We try to schedule different events throughout the day so you can have a chance at trying various things, but we can't have special times for everybody.

How does KinzTime work?
| |
KinzTime is our way of setting a standard time by which everyone can figure out when scheduled events, like daily activities, are happening in Webkinz World. Our KinzTime is based on Eastern Standard Time, which is the same time, for example, as New York City.

How does the Care Award work? Why didn’t I get my award?
| |
This is a way for you to show how much you love your Webkinz pet. Visit the "My Pets" page in the "Things to Do" menu and click on "Care Award." This will show you your Webkinz pet care meter. Click on the "I Love Webkinz" button and you'll win some food and KinzCash. You'll win 10 KinzCash on the first day, 15 on the second day, and five KinzCash more for each day you visit the Care Award in a week. Click on the button every day for a week and at the end of the week you'll get a 25 KinzCash bonus! If you click everyday you'll be entered into a draw at the end of the week for an exclusive item. This draw does not guarantee that you get an exclusive item; it just gives you a chance.

How do I play Gem Hunt?
| |
First, you need to visit Arte's Curio Shop through the link in the "Things to Do" menu. Once you are in his shop, click on the "Gem Hunt" button. It will open up a map of 5 mines where you can search for gems. Each day you will be allowed to search 1 mine. Once you are in the mine, simply click on 3 sparkling rocks to dig them out with your pick axe and reveal if you have found an actual gem.
If you've found a gem, you'll need to go back to the Curio Shop to put it into your collection. Before you do, Arte will make you a one-time offer to buy it from you. Listen carefully to what he offers you each time so you can decide if it's worth selling your gem to him.
If you collect all 30 of the different gems, you will be able to trade it for the Webkinz Crown of Wonder – the first ever wearable trophy in Webkinz World!
|
|
|
The Crown of Wonder – What is it? How many are there? Can I sell it?
| |
The Crown of Wonder is the first wearable trophy! Arte can make a Crown of Wonder for anyone that collects all 30 gems. As long as you collect all 30 gems, you can keep redeeming them for Crowns of Wonder! You can certainly sell the Crown afterwards, if you really want to. If you have all five colors filled in on your crown drawing, you still have to click the crown icon on the front of your collection book/box so we know you've collected them all. When you click the crown icon, Arte will ask if you want to trade your gem collection in for the crown.

How does finding gems work?
| |
There are 20 stones in each cave. Each stone does not necessarily contain a gem; some stones just contain slag. The Slag found in the mines is worthless, but it still belongs to Arte (since he owns the mining rights), so it is not allowed to be taken out. Three rocks are all there is room for in the basket. There are a lot of people who want to go into the mines each day, that is why you can only visit one each day. Once you've had your turn in a mine it is only fair to let everyone else have a chance.
You only get one chance to go mining each day. If you do not find a gem, just come back tomorrow. The more you visit the mines, the sooner you should be able to learn how best to find the particular gems you are searching for, including the "Gem of the Day." Certain gems are much rarer than others, that's why when you're lucky enough to find something, you'll tend to get a lot of the same thing. But that's also why the rarer gems are worth more KinzCash to Arte. The gems' locations are randomly hidden in different spots everyday and that location is different for every visitor. You never quite know where they'll be hidden!

How does selling gems work?
| |
Arte only offers you money for the gem once you've found it. As soon as you have added it to your collection, you no longer can sell it back to him. But remember, once you earn the crown you can sell the crown itself!
Arte rarely ever makes the same offer twice, except for the Gem of the Day. His offers are based both on your collection and his own need for particular types of gems.
Unfortunately, you cannot sell gems to anyone but Arte. If you sell a collection box, you are not selling the gems inside. If you buy more than one collection box, you will only see the same collection of gems inside.
You have to remember that Arte is the one giving you permission to visit the mines in the first place. It's his pick axe, flashlight and basket you are using and he owns the mining rights to all of the caves, so he sets all the rules. But you also have to remember he's always willing to offer you a lot of KinzCash for your hard work. It is up to you to decide whether you take his KinzCash or not!

|
I was logged out after I found a gem; now what?
| |
If you had already found your gem before you were logged out, it was added to your collection. Please log back into Webkinz World and check your gem collection. The new gem should be there! Unfortunately, you will not be able to sell this gem to Arte.

I didn’t get a bonus at Quizzy’s!
| |
Sometimes, on the "Today's Activities" page, you will see that certain Quizzy questions are worth bonus KinzCash. If you go to Quizzy's at the time the bonus is scheduled to happen, you can earn extra KinzCash. If you were already playing in Quizzy's before the bonus time started, you will not see the bonus. Just leave Quizzy's, visit the Newz, and return to Quizzy's and you'll be able to earn bonus KinzCash on the featured questions.

How does the Floating W work?
| |
The Floating W is something special! Unlike the other activities, there's no GO button to click on to get a Floating W -- it will appear on your screen randomly and fly across.
You have to click it fast before it disappears! It won't show up while you're in a game, though, so keep your eyes open!
When a Floating W is scheduled, it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed to see one -- just that there's a chance that one might float by in that time period.

What is the Jellybean Challenge?
| |
The Jellybean Challenge is a fun activity that you can find sometimes on the TODAYS ACTIVITIES sheet. To do the activity, just look at the jar and take a good guess about how many beans there are. Whoever makes the best guess (guesses the number closest to the correct number, or guesses the correct number exactly) will win a jar of Super jellybeans that will fill your pets hunger up to 100 per cent! You will also win some KinzCash. We do not announce the final number, so keep an eye on the message you get. If it says you’re close, you know you’re near the actual number!

What is Zingoz Bingoz?
| |
Zingoz Bingoz is a special activity that you can do everyday in Webkinz World. Just go to the "Zingoz Bingoz" page by clicking on the icon at the top of the first page of the Newz. This will take you to a page where you can get your Bingoz numbers for the day. You can play one, two, and three ball Bingoz on this page. Each game is played the same way; if you get a row of diagonal, horizontal or vertical numbers, you can shout out Bingoz and win. If someone shouts 'Bingoz' before you and wins, you will receive a new blank card the next day.
Just remember; you only get your Bingoz numbers if you come to Webkinz World and visit the Bingoz page!

|
My numbers disappeared on Zingoz Bingoz – what happened?

This means that someone has shouted out BINGOZ and won. When this happens, you get a new blank card to start a new game.
