It’s me, Fiona, back for another round of fan mail! As always, for my past answers, click here! If you miss me, you can always head to KinzPost and send a letter or a package, and I’ll deliver it for you! Don’t forget, you can add me as a friend by going to KinzChat and adding Fiona Feathers (include the space!).
hi! here’s a question i have had for some time–what is the PURPOSE of the zingoz dunk tank event frequently in the daily pull-down, as all it ever does is award the same insignificant amount of kinzcash & there’s no incentive for a prize or trophy….rather lame event for my one vote! ty, -kaye10
Hi, kaye10! If you’re very lucky when you dunk Zingoz, you just might win a special trophy — the Zingoz Dunk Trophy!
Dear Fiona: My father told me that Adobe Flash has just announced the end of flash player in 2020. I know that the flash player is a critical component of Webkinz. Is Webkinz doing something to make the transition so that the site can keep running? It would break my heart if I couldn’t see my Webkinz anymore!! – pinkiecupcake
Don’t worry, pinkiecupcake — there is a plan in place to make sure that Webkinz World will be around for a long time, on mobile and on desktop computers, with or without Adobe Flash.
how do you accept an invite to a party, now? – KayPlotts
Thanks for your question, KayPlotts! Since we updated KinzPost, you will get the message to join the party if you’re in your room when the party starts. You no longer reply to the invitation.
Have more questions? Ask them below and you might be featured in the next edition of Fan Mail with Fiona!
Dear Fiona, Hi! Do you think we can ever be able to move rooms around in our map? I didn’t do a very great job of placing rooms when I was younger, and with all of them I have now, I could hardly find anything! ~bubbashuka
I have be playing the Zingoz Dunk for years and I have never won a trophy. I guess I am not so lucky as I have it the center of the target many of times.
I think it’s by chance. You just have to keep trying and maybe you will get it! Good luck!
Hi Fiona, I have a question. For as long as I have been playing Webkinz (since 2009), they have not changed the Alyssa Star Challenge search gift or Spree shopping bag prizes. Are there any plans to update those gifts? You are on the third set of galaxy space suits, so how about updating some of the other aspects of some of the daily prizes?
Spree prizes have changed a few times, just never Alyssa’s Star Challenge
hi all! am happy my question was answered (THANKS Fiona!) & quite surprised there IS a trophy for Dunk the Zingoz, but equally sad that i, too, have been attempting this for nearly 10 years (& am a rather good shot lol!) just not very lucky it seems… well, better luck to us all ;) -k.
I’ve been playing the dunk tank every time it comes up for 11 years and never seen a trophy. Guess I’m not lucky. This writer isn’t lucky either.
I have a question about parties I hope someone will answer and tell me what I’m doing wrong. I receive party invites in the mail. The invites don’t state the time of the party nor a way to reply to them. I can’t wait around forever in my room waiting for the “Go to Party” icon to show because I have no idea when the party is. I’m not on Webkinz 24/7. So, I apologize to everyone whose party I’ve missed. But, what’s the point of having a party if it doesn’t communicate the time? Am I missing something? Please advise – thanks.
You should be able to scroll down on the invitation — that’s where it tells you the party details. If you don’t see the scroll, perhaps try a different browser.
I will check that next time I receive an invite. Thanks, Sally, for your reply.
Just a question to add to the Dunk the Zingoz. You say if you are lucky enough. I know of only one person and that was YEARS ago, now, who actually won the Dunk the Zingoz trophy. I have been playing Webkinz for over 10 years and I have to wonder why this is the most difficult trophy to achieve. The Wacky Carnival has 4 timers you have to set in a certain sequence to get the Balloon and you would think that would be way more difficult to obtain, but I can get it almost 95% of the time. Why when all you have to do is get the target dead center is this so impossible?
Has anyone here ever won the Zingoz Dunk trophy? If so, when did you win it? The trophy must be really rare because I’ve never heard of anyone winning it recently.
Pinkypink1 won the Dunk the Zingoz Trophy on February 12, 2007 and they also won 500 Kinzcash. Search ‘Breaking News: WI Member Scores Zingoz Dunk Trophy!’ and you will see a blog entry about it. That is the last time I saw anyone win this trophy.
Oh Phooey! That isn’t the last time I saw it. It was also won by Lilyrose on April 4, 2009.
She said that it wasn’t even in the middle that the ball hit. She said it was like the third ring to the right. So maybe you don’t have to be right in the middle of the target, maybe … it’s random!
Great questions, great answers!
