There’s treasure to be found in the Webkinz Next mines!
If you’re lucky, you’ve already spotted the treasure chest near the waterfall. On three different days each week, you can find the chest. The days are different for everyone so you might see it some days and your friends could see it on a completely different day!
Once you open the chest, click on it to start. Then create paths of light from the cannons to the locks to unlock the treasure and win a prize.
Place and rotate mirrors and splitters to direct the light, while working around the pieces that don’t move. There are pieces on the right side of the chest that you can add to create and direct the path. Pieces with a round base can rotate and move. Pieces with a round base on top of a square base can rotate. Pieces with a square base only cannot move or rotate.
The puzzles change. Some will be harder than others.
Pirate’s Bounty may seem tricky at first but don’t worry – you’ll soon get there!
Sally made a quick video to demonstrate how it works, and we’ll be posting a ‘How to’ video soon:
I can get the one lock pretty easily, but I don’t understand how to get the second lock when there’s no clear path to it. There’s always something blocking the way no matter how I move the beam.
Usually there’s a splitter somewhere to make it a bit easier.
I see the splitter but the lock is being blocked by something else. There’s no clear path to it. It happened again today. One cannon and 2 locks. The lock was blocked on all sides.
Grab a screenshot next time and send it to webkinzsupport@ganz.com — I’ve had puzzles that seemed to be fully blocked initially, but there’s always been a solution.
Took me a bunch of failed attempts to figure this out! XD. It’s a fun puzzle.
I managed to solve the puzzle. I wish the prize I got could be sent to Classic. It was a cool pirate chest, but I don’t have a pirate room on Next. I do have a pirate room on Classic as well as an Atlantis theme room. While I’m n the subject, I also wish PSIs could be sent from Next to Classic. Some of them don’t match any of the rooms I have on Next. To get back on track, this is a fun puzzle and not has hard as I thought it would be. The video was a tremendous help. Thank you.
Also, for anyone who finds the chest, please note that more than one cannon beam might be present in the puzzle. When I got my first puzzle, there were two cannon beams that I had to use to unlock two different locks. I didn’t realize until the time was halfway up that this was the case since I originally thought that there could only be one cannon beam in the puzzle. I hope this helps and I wish everyone the best of luck in solving the puzzles.
Thanks for this post. I opened both locks but not at the same time. That must’ve been why I didn’t get the treasure. :(
That’s correct — all locks on the board must be opened at the same time to complete the puzzle.
hi all, is fun to read active comments from next–i just missed unlocking the treasure by less than one second…hope next puzzle is no harder, right? anyway, posting here today as i gained the new window from the ongoing challenge & need to report that only an outline of that window shows up in our room. a lil challenge for the w-techs ;) best, k.
I am confused. I got to play this game for the first time yesterday. I managed to get the beam of light to connect all the way to the lock and it unlocked. I still had half of the timer left, but nothing happened once the lock unlocked. I tried clicking on different things but nothing happened. Finally time ran out. Was there something I missed and was supposed to do after the lock unlocked, or is the prize supposed to appear? I was and still am totally confused by the incomplete ending to the lock being unlocked by the light beam and nothing happening. Please help me by shedding some light as to what is supposed to take place once the lock is unlocked. Thank-you! ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
You might have had more than 1 lock. All of the locks will have to be unlocked before you can open the treasure chest and get the prize.
Is the Ghost still around to be spotted, or did this game take the place of that? I have yet to see either but here’s hoping!
They were both introduced at the same time. The Ghost is random, but whenever, the treasure chest appears 3 times a week, though which 3 days is different from person to person.
This is great! Just one question, I know the three days depend on the individual, but is it the same three days each week or does it change?
Your schedule doesn’t change, so once you know your days, those are your days.
Awesome! Thanks, I’ll have to write down my days. Glad I won’t have to check everyday :)
Is the treasure chest restricted within ‘your’ days between certain hours like the Farmer’s Market? Or is it that whole 24 hour day?
The whole day, Kinztime
Thank you!
I have 2 Next questions and I don’t know where to put them. First, is there a trick to getting the Track/Speed/Running class to show up? I don’t want to skip classes waiting for the Running class to appear, because taking a class earns Season challenge credit for the daily points, but I also want to fulfill the week 2 requirement of the Running class. Any help would be appreciated! The second question is more of a request. Would it be possible to pause the active pet and baby requests while your pet is doing classes at the KVA? My pets and babies inevitably want stuff when I am in the midst of concentrating on a class. You can’t see that there is a request, but you can hear the little cry if you are paying attention. By the time that I get out of class, the timers for the requests have either run out, or are too low for me to get back to my baby in time before the request expires. I know that irl, requests don’t stop for school, but Webkinz is my escape from real life, so I would love to be able to at least push pause somewhere! LOL!
Don’t skip classes — they do not change once you’ve visited for the day, so you might as well get the ribbons. You get a random set each day — the specific class task is an early one so you have lots of time to fulfill it. I will pass on about the requests.
I would like to also request this request. LOL I would also like to not see my poor pet be hungry or ask for things while I am playing games in the arcade. It doesn’t seem quite fair that our little pets get so miserable while we are trying to complete a game that sometimes takes quite a while. I was doing really great on the Tile game and kept clearing off the board but my pet got more and more hungry. :( It kept saying “Grammy can you please feed me?” Even though I know it is all pixels, it just makes me feel terrible. Are we supposed to stop in the middle of a game to feed our pet? It makes me not want to play any games.
I also have to agree with this too. I know this sounds like a lot as well, but for some reason, my pets also keep giving me the request of spinning the Wheel of Wow even after I spun the wheel for that day. It makes me really sad to have to deny their requests.
This has been happening to my daughter. Two days in a row her pet has asked to spin the Wheel of Wow right after she has spun it.
But please make this optional! I will often play a game or do classes while I am waiting for my pet or baby to ask for something.
The best thing would be for the pet to ask for things after the game or class has finished. Playing the games or attending class should not punish us for not taking care of our pets. I love Webkinz but this part of it takes away a lot of the fun.
This chest game took me a bit to figure it out. I timed out my first time but my second one I got it. I hope everyone enjoys this new game.
