Attention Checkers champs! Due to a technical issue with our community servers yesterday, you now have until Thursday, February 7th (midnight, Eastern Standard Time), to complete it!
*Please note: the text on the challenge window and icon will still have the original end date of February 3rd.
Here’s how to play. On January 28th, look for the Checkers Trophy Challenge icon on your Webkinz account. It will be displayed along the left side of the screen (web only):
Click on the icon to review your tasks. There are 3 tasks you’ll need to complete by midnight, February 3rd (EST) to earn the Checker’s Trophy:
Win 8 Games of Checkers at the Tournament Arena
Make 15 Wishes on Wishing Well 2 in the Games Arcade
Play Alyssa’s Star Challenge 3 times
Play Checkers at the Tournament Arena on Webkinz.com and try to clear all of your opponent’s pieces off the board before they do!
You’ll find Checkers listed under Two-Player Games at the Tournament Arena.
Having trouble finding an opponent? Why not challenge a host to a game? OR, challenge someone on your Friends List!
Complete the Challenge by Sunday, February 3rd (midnight, Eastern Standard Time), to win the trophy along with a Crown Me Pedestal!

I haven’t won a game yet, I’m going off the advice from this thread and wonder if it is getting harder because we are sharing tips. I always beat Artie and Fiona and now I can’t win a game to save my life.
8 games are a lot to win -
I don’t like the checker game, because they don’t make you take your jump. Pask, p.122, states, “All jumping moves are compulsory.” Every opportunity to jump must be taken. That is part of the strategy. Sorry for the venting.
Well, when you play against the hosts, you must move. I found that out today. Can you pass/be timed out when you play against real people?
Who knows, maybe the “All jumping moves are compulsory.” rule doesn’t apply in the virtual Webkinz world.
When you are scrolling down and realize it’s your room in the example :)
Congratulations on getting your room featured! It’s very nice – I like how you worked a lot of older items into your design. :-)
Thank you! I definitely went “shopping” in my rooms and storage to finish it off.
I have a trick for winning every time. [well, most of the time] If you leave the bottom pieces where they are, the opponent can’t get a king and the game is easier to win. Hope this helps, and good luck completing the challenge! ;)
I’m so bad at checkers and have tried five times but only won two. Checkers takes forever I may not be able to do it:c
I have an extra trophy I could send to you if you don’t complete the challenge in time.
Be careful if you choose to play checkers with Arte! He’s really good!
I always choose Sheldon – he’s not so good :-)
I’ve beaten Arte in the past but they were long games! Amanda is tough also. I think I’ll try Sheldon. :)
Yes! I didn’t know there was a difference in hosts.. Amanda was super hard to beat though! I almost lost to her, but I managed after about 15 minutes of playing. =P
I used to pick Sheldon for obvious reasons, “Dude” LOL Then he began playing better, so now I go with the pigeon. haha DF
Hi dogfish, I had the same experience, LOL. Fiona Feathers is the one to choose.
I play all of the hosts, but I zero in on Nafaria, just so I can beat her out of spite. (Steal my stars, and give me nothing in return, will you?!? How about some humble pie!?!)
LOL I do the same with Nafaria! :)
I played all 8 games with Caroline and didn’t lose any. I had no particular reason for choosing her.
Congratulations!
I beat Arte.
Cool! I only wish I was better at checkers… XD This one may take awhile to complete.
I plan to complete this challenge this week for each of my accounts. So I will have a few extras of these trophies that I wouldn’t mind sending to someone. Let know if you want me to send one to you.
WebkinzFanCEG, may I please have a trophy and would it be too much trouble for you to send me the trophy pedestal if you don’t want it? Thank you in advance. :)
Yes, I could. My username is cassandraleo. What is yours?
My Webkinz username is the same as my username on here. Could you potentially send a trophy and pedestal to one of my friends? I can list their username if so.
By the time I complete the challenge on Wednesday I will have 2 extra trophies and pedestals. So, yes I could send it to you and one of your friends.
I may need one I’ll tell you if I can’t get it
WebkinzFanCEG, may I have my friend (Pri and some numbers) send a friend request to you instead of me posting their username? Thank you in advance again. This is a really busy time of year for us. :(
Yes, have them send a friend request to cassandraleo. And I’ll send them a trophy and pedestal.
I have so many lag issues playing Webkinz since my laptop is pretty old – I’d love a trophy and pedestal, if you don’t mind! Thank you!
Yes, I’ll send it to you. What is your username?
My username is queenleilani – thank you so much!!
I’ll send you a friend request with my account cwebkinzfan123c.
Yay…today’s the day! Thanks for another wonderful Trophy Challenge Ganz!
