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!

Ok fellow Webkinz buddies…I DID IT! I didn’t think I’d be able to and from my posts earlier I was ready to give up. my thoughts, and just an opinion is don’t play with the same host more than once or twice at tops! Some are easier than others but after a second round they can almost read your mind! Good luck everyone!
yeah, this isn’t going well. I’ve played like 10 and I’ve failed all, lol! Hey, at least I’m helping others by being an easy opponent. Always be optimistic, right??
And I just want to say, I don’t expect the game to be easy but just almost unattainable. That’s all.
Add me to the list of giving up on trying to get the trophy! I get the challenges should not be super easy, but they should be at least doable, especially when it’s a shorter time frame! This is not a fun trophy to win at all, super sad!
I am really really bad at checkers. It takes forever to play and it is hard for me to win. Not even going to bother with this challenge.
bear10201, I am really good at loosing at checkers. If you want the trophy, feel free to friend me and we can play a few rounds. ;)
Finished! This is my first time winning a trophy! :D
eight games really… it takes a long time to play one game and I lose! When I play against a host I still lose. I guess you can’t win them all. I love to collect trophies. but this is not a challenge its impossible for me because I suck at checkers. Now I’m just mad and sad. #keepinitreal
Well, I am done, not finished, just DONE with this Checkers Trophy game. I am tired of sitting at the computer TRYING to win a game of checkers! Since the challenge began, I have won 3 games. One game with another Webkinz and two with a Host. I thought, “Great! I can play with a Host and win quicker!” It was even suggested on here to play the game with Sheldon. Nope! I played a game with him and sat for over 30 mins as we just waltzed back and forth with our Kinged Checkers. Out maneuvering each other. It took so much time and was going NO WHERE, and I had to leave to do other things (I do have a real life, you know!) So I just forfeited the game! Tried again this evening with Mr. Moo. SAME THING! Only this time it was almost an hour! For ONE game! And I still lost! I play the challenges because they are “suppose” to be fun! The Tournament games are so hard to win, and so are the Arena games. I do not mind losing games, but when you tend to lose almost every single Tournament game, it’s no longer fun. I KNOW it’s a computer and it’s all suppose to be “random”, but don’t you think it could be a LITTLE bit easier than having to play one game for over 30 min and STILL getting you behind kicked by a computer generated HOST? And, I am not asking for any Webkinz player to send me a trophy. I don’t want to get a trophy that way. I do want to earn it! If I can’t earn it, I don’t want it! I just want a little more fairness when playing the game!
100% agree with everything you’ve said!
It’s frustrating when playing against Arte or whomever and they just keep moving their checkers back and forth between the same two spots. I don’t think that is fair at all. I’m almost ready to give up myself but will give it a little more time.
I don’t remember exactly when they changed how well the hosts play games, but it’s been over a year. I tried playing against a few hosts this afternoon, and lost every game due to forfeiting the game for running into the same stalemate that you did or making one mistake so the host got most of my checkers and the game would never end. Since when should the AI players always play a perfect game?
Hi Alucard – I’m sorry to see how much trouble you’re having. If you’d like, I can friend you (if you post your WWid) and play with you Friday night or Saturday night (around 8 EST). I’ll lose to you by letting myself time out, which takes 45 seconds. Let me know – I’d be happy to help out.
I KNOW! I just got finished playing with Cowabelle, and when she was down to a couple pieces, she just kept moving her king piece back and forth too! It’s so frustrating! This is appropriately dubbed a challenge, because it sure isn’t easy to complete.
I’ve never given up on a trophy challenge before, but I think this will have to be the one. I’ve play 7 or so games, that each lasted 30+ minutes, and only won one so far. I like the trophy, but it’s just not worth my time.
The tournament arena is blank for me. :/ I’m a full member, so it should show up, but it doesn’t~ absolutely no games listed, just a blank box…

Ah, I use safari with Webkinz… Everything else seems work fine, just this one weird glitch.
