One of my favorite ways to earn KinzCash by achieving high scores at the arcade. High scores means high piles of KinzCash! But, I haven’t always been high-earning in the arcade. It took some practice. If you’re still trying to figure out how to earn KinzCash at the arcade, here are my top 5 tips:
Arte’s Adventure in the Giant Jungle
This game is my favorite now but I haven’t always been in love with it. Even though it’s super fun, it’s easy to get stuck at the extreme long jumps that show up 2/3s of the way through the first level.
Here’s the trick:
Inch your way to the very edge of the lily pad by taking short, vertical jumps forward. Aim your cursor directly upwards in a straight line and click quickly. Arte will hop a tiny bit ahead of himself, inching his way forward until he’s balancing on the edge.
Nudge your way as far as possible with tiny jumps and then you’ll be able to land safely on the other side.
Cake It Up
This game is simple but tricky. If you don’t take a second to think about it, you might even think it’s impossible! Here’s the trick: Focus on the front corner and take your time.
If you keep your eye on the front corner and tap just as the two platforms line up, you’ll develop a rhythm. But, once that top piece of cake breaks, take a second to re-focus on the new front corner. Have some patience and after some practice you’ll see the KinzCash pile up!
Smoothie Moves
I love Smoothies Moves but this game can get stressful QUICKLY! To succeed at Smoothie Moves, practice the art of, what I call, “snapping back.”
Here’s how it works:
When you eliminate a section of ingredients, the front of the line freezes while the back of the line catches up, right? Well, don’t wait for the back to catch up! Force the front to snap backwards by shooting at it with an ingredient that matches the very end of the back line.
Once the end of the front line matches the back, your lines will snap BACKWARDS, giving you more space. It sounds a little complicated but try it out. It will make the game a lot more fun and a lot less stressful.
Home Before Dark
This game is all about making connections. The more connections you make while creating the path home, the more points you’ll earn. So, instead of trying my hardest to create paths quickly, I’ve started using my time in this game to connect as many pieces as possible, creating bulky paths, even if I don’t need those them to find home. That way, after my pets get home, I’ll earn extra points.
Extra points means extra KinzCash so try creating bulky, long paths even if it takes some extra time.
Wacky Zingoz
Saved the best for last! Who doesn’t LOVE this game?? But, it used to drive me a little nuts because I couldn’t find the Wacky sweet spot. Now, I think I’ve found it.
The trick is to line up Wacky with the vine on the tree. There’s a spot where the bottom vine winds around the tree and makes a “J” shape. When Wacky is in line with that part of the vine, take a swing!
Sound wacky? Give it a shot!
Got any tips for me? Let me know!

This is unrelated to the game tips, but it’s a NEXT question. Why are your Webkinz NEXT friends allowed access to your home and property without an invitation? I was shocked to discover another pet (ie. not mine) using a treadmill in Miffy’s bedroom when I logged on today. Someone else had mentioned this issue a few weeks/months ago (the comment was deleted later) and I thought Webkinz was looking into this because it’s truly creepy. Inviting friends over is fun…having uninvited guests isn’t :/
Yeah, I had mentioned that too along with other players at one time, and I have decided not to accept friend requests on Next. I find it creepy too. : (
Just defriend who ever is violating your home and they can’t come back. I like visiting homes but I expand the screen and stay outside going around the house. I will only go inside if there is something I just have to see, like the Victorian Mansion items I have never seen before.
This is just what I needed! I was having problems with Arte’s Big Adventure game and I’m sure this will help me. Thanks, Dorothy Lou :)
Tip: With smooth moves, if a new color comes up and it’s not in the line up, I put it in front of the line. Then I look for clusters, like 2 red, hit those to make 3, they’re deleted, and the white ones around them then disappear. I’m all about deleting in chain reaction groups. Large groups which equals more points. But some of the levels move too quickly! Another tip is just click the wrong color off screen. A new color pops up and may be more useful. But work quick!
If the color my car is going to shoot is nowhere in the lineup of pies, I shoot it off to the side to get rid of it. Another one always comes up later when I need it.
I find Smoothy Moves plays better on an iPad. If a new color comes up that is not needed and I can shoot it away if I can. I try not to put it in the line up if I don’t have to.
Thank you for the tips Dorothy Lou! I already discovered the first 2 on my own but I didn’t know about the last 3 so I can’t wait to try them out! :) ❤️
what about some Webkinz Classic arcade tips? I personally love playing Tile Towers, but Cash Cow, Smoothie Moves, and Picnic are also great for getting Kinzcash
Please add more games!!! I’m getting bored with the small selection. Would love a Pizza Palace game or checkers. PLEASE!
I 100% agree that Next needs more games, but it’s safe to assume that the Webkinz team is currently working on some. Here’s a hint for everyone who doesn’t like waiting: the official Webkinz Facebook page, under the “Posts” section, sometimes posts teasers for new Next features, including games, before they get added. You won’t need a Facebook account to see the page. Triple Strike Solitaire and the Arte game were teased and revealed there. So if anyone is looking for official Webkinz Next sneak peaks, my advice is to frequently check the Webkinz Facebook account.
And I agree that Pizza Palace should be added to Next! I’ve always wanted to play it on mobile, so I can use touch controls to move the pizza lady (I sadly have forgotten her name). Cash Cow 1 and/or 2 are the games I’m most hopeful for, but Pizza Palace is up there in my top 5 “please add this!” games.
My best game is Lily Padz. I’ve earned over a grand on it in a single game and it is the game that gets me a lot of kinzcash in a pretty short period of time compared to the other games. I love Atomicolicious too!
I need Lily Padz tips, I can never get more than 7 KC at the most.
I hold the left mouse button in the entire game. Other than that it’s just moving your wrist back and fourth between lily pads and making sure you don’t land on the grumpy lady bugs. The game is actually pretty forgiving with the amount the frog can be off the side of the lily pad. Also there are different things that you are allowed to land on that give you extra points, which are flies, white flowers, purple flowers, glowing lights (sorry I don’t know how to describe them any better) and a springy flower that flings your frog ahead a bunch of spaces. The jumping flower gives you a lot of extra points, but make sure you jump right in the center of it or else you’ll just bounce a little bit ahead or just ricochet and fall in the water. I don’t know exactly how many lily pads the springy flowers make you jump ahead off hand because the game is so fast that it’s hard to count. Always look ahead, sort of like you do when playing Hoppy Little Rocketship. Try and make sure you jump where it’ll be a clear jump to the next lily pad without a ladybug getting in your way. Also, if there are two lily pads next to each other, it’s better to jump on one that has one of the things I mentioned before (flies, flowers, lights, springy flowers) because that way you’ll get more points and kinzcash. If your mouse gets a little messed up (mine sometimes starts hanging off the edge of the desk after moving my wrist so much), try and hold out to fix it when you’re on a straight path of lily pads and fix it really fast. I was awful at it when I first started but once you practice it gets a lot easier and you can earn tons of kc fast. Hope this helps!
Sounds like you’re using a computer with a mouse and not touch screen. I’ll have to figure that one out. Thanks so much for the help.
My computer is a touch screen but I have a mouse hooked up to it. Lily Padz is really difficult, if not impossible for me to score well on mobile or without the mouse hooked up, so maybe that’s why a lot of people are having trouble with it.
Also, I payed attention last time I played and if you land in the center of a springy flower, it jumps you forward 3 lily pads.
OK, I have figured out how to get Next on my desktop thanks to your posts. Now you have to do a youtube video showing how to get to 1000 KC. I am still just getting about 20 points and very little KC. Please do a youtube video. The Ganz youtube is not helpful. PLEASE!!!!
Wow! Lily Padz is my worst game! I don’t understand how to play, and I hate how you only have 1 life! I can only ever make it like 20 jumps before dying. Sad!
I was the same way until I got the hang of it. It takes a little practice but once you get used to it, it’s a pretty fast way to earn kinzcash and like CheekyCat said, it doesn’t get progressively harder like most other games.
Thanks Dorothy Lou!!
Nice, Lily Padz is my favorite though. -Rainbow Stormsilver/Dash Darkrock
In my opinion, Lily Padz is the easiest to get kinzcash once you get the hang of it! I’ve often gotten hundreds and occasionally over 1000 kc from a single game of it because it doesn’t really get harder as the game progresses
I agree!! Yes, exactly!
Someone needs to post a tutorial of how to play that game. It’s SO HARD in my opinion. I wish I had a game I was good enough at to win so much kinzcash :(
Please someone do a youtube video!!!!
