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!

When I try to ask other webkinz for supplies, it says that my kinzphone is turned off and it needs to be turned on but will not turn on. Another issue is when I try to play a game in the tournament arena, it says ‘All severs full, try again later.’ twice. I don’t know what kind of glitch this is but it’s not letting me do much. I also made an account for someone I know and it does the same thing.
It’s been doing the same thing to me, but I think it’s only because all of the webkinz players are having a final go at finishing the challenge. Uh-oh, I haven’t finished either! This game is tough, and I hope that there is no longer a limit to how many can play at a time on the phone, if Ganz wants to keep webkinz growing.
Will you guys extend the day until tomorrow to complete the challenge since no one can get on?
Seconded!! That would be amazing :)
Can’t get in to the Arena to get my one last win of Checkers. :-( It says the servers are full! Can not get into the park for Sophie OR the ClubHouse! What’s up?? Too many events if the servers can’t handle the crowd. This is Very disappointing :-(
So I’ve been trying three hours now to complete this challenge, and all I keep getting is “All servers are full”. Clearly everyone else is trying to finish, too, but that doesn’t help me at all. Ugh. This is ridiculous and I am running out of time. And if I could have gotten on to do this before today, I would have, but that’s not how it worked out.
Aaaand now it’s been all day, and still all I get is ‘servers full, try later’. There is NO LATER, the challenge is almost over. I see others are having this issue now, so chiming in on the pleas for more time. Although gah, tomorrow is my one day a week I get to run errands. Figures. Hmm…groceries…trophies…oh wow, this would be haaard.
On February 3rd there is an error message that the servers are full. This has been going on for several hours now. Unable to play checkers in the tournament arena. Thought you would want to know.
Thank you all very much for extending the tournament and for taking the time to fix the issue. This is why you all are so great!
Is anyone else having trouble getting into the tournament arena today? I’ve tried several times but it keeps saying the servers are full and I can’t play. If it does load, I invite a host to play and get stuck on the initial “remember your color” screen. I still need several games to win the trophy. Please help!
Woo Hooo won my trophy tonight. It was a tough one! I don’t know what I like best, the trophy or the beautiful pedestal that comes with it. Sorry to read about so many having trouble. I pretty much devoted a whole day to the games, so I understand the frustrations. Good luck everyone who is still trying.
Finally, I’m able to have time to do a trophy challenge! I managed to complete it today. I like collecting trophies. If anyone has any spare trophies, can they send it to me. My user name is MrPencil22.
I will send you a friend request. I have some cluttering up a room I would love to get rid of if I can send them to you I will.
Ok, thanks!
DID IT! TO my fellow webkinz friends, I found that if you invite a “host” more than once it is harder to beat them. Good luck everyone!
PINE SAUL ROFL!! Oh Nate, that is so funny! The room is fantastic, by the way. I was admiring how it looked, all the little nooks and crannies, when I caught the name and I burst out laughing. The only thing funnier would be if his best friends were hamsters named Spic’n’Span LOL
Thanks for noticing, thanks for the compliment, thanks for making me laugh too!
