I have to say, these deluxe monthly challenges are usually so bad to accomplish that it feels a bit like I am being punished for being deluxe, instead of rewarded. This mini golf game is horrible, I am seriously debating not even bothering with the challenge on account of it. I can’t imagine how many games of it I would have to endure to get 200 KC, that is just excessive. In my opinion, if you want people to actually want to be deluxe, you should make these challenges more reasonable.
Yeah, some of the challenges can be just terrible! Good thing I do not want any of these items. I agree 100% that the mini golf is terrible as well! I asked my sister how the game was because she had to play it for a challenge. She said you get a dollar for every hole you make. That means you would have to make 200 holes! That is too much! And my sister said she won that fridge in a challenge and she is a full member! I am a deluxe member and for sure not doing this challenge.
Just going on record about how much I despise the mini-golf game – always have. For the most part I’m playing on a computer that is a mac doc 10.11.6 (an older one). On holes 3, 9, 17, 18 the course isn’t centered in the screen which means that you can’t see where you need to aim and/or even see your character to have a clue as to where you are aiming. I also find it (and always have) extremely difficult to aim and even more difficult to control the strength of the shot. Some times it works and sometimes it doesn’t (I’m guessing it has to do with where the actual mouse pointer is – which isn’t visible). Doesn’t seem to matter how slowly I try to control it. The good news is that if you persevere, even maxing out the strokes on several holes, there’s a nice bonus at the end. I just wish that for the amount of time it takes that it was a more pleasant experience. As to the prizes, we all have different expectations – here’s mine For me I enjoy being able to have all of webkinz world available to me whenever I want to play and for the most part I enjoy these challenges (for me the thrill is in the competition not the prize that’s the motivator). It’s nice to get items before the non-deluxe but I don’t mind if they do get them eventually or if there are repeats (most stuff sits in my docks anyway – ha ha).
You can move the screen around by using the arrow keys — that might make it a little easier to see where you’re going.
Sally – I’m not sure what arrow keys you are referring to. The ones on my keyboard don’t do anything. The only other arrows I see control the dock – didn’t really think they’d do any thing but tried any way – they only control the dock:) Sorry to be so dense. I also have tried this game on mac that is completely up to date and get the same results (only faster) If I go through all 18 holes I’m getting about 65 KC so the challenge is doable just frustrating! Thanks for your help!
Update: On the older computer and operating system, the arrow keys do work (to a certain extent) in both Safari and Firefox. Can’t remember which browser I used on the newer more up to date system – will report back when I can get on it.
anyone else having issues with the golf game? Mine isn’t working properly. The longer courses don’t adjust and I can’t see where I am supposed to be putting. This causes me to loose money and will take longer to get the required amounts. The game needs to be fixed. I also agree that new prizes need to be awarded for challenges. There are so many estore items they could use for this…..
Use your arrow keys to move the course on the screen :)
thank you I will try this, but I have another issue. Today I logged on and all the money I had earned from previous days play is GONE…..it took away my earned money
Hey Mandy and Michael – perhaps the next Podkinz could be a tutorial on playing the mini – golf game. I sure could use it. When was the last time you tried to play it?
Hey, that’s a great idea!
Boy, I agree! This one is going to be tough!
Remember that members vary, some are new, some are returning, some are younger kids to adults. I have the Hippo Fridge that I won recently in a CHALLENGE. But I don’t mind getting another one. plus I am excited as all get out to earn the outfit. The golf game isn’t my favorite but there are worse games. The game I hate is Go-Go Googles. Maybe it’s the mouse on my laptop but I can’t even get to 1,000 points in that game, therefore stuck in Adventure Park daily quests. There it’s not cumulative like in the challenges. You have to get there in one game.
Go-Go Googles is one of the ones that I ONLY play for challenges! With some practice you will eventually get lucky enough to get that 1,000 points. I believe in you!
I only olay that game when i have to. My daughter use to play it for me for the Adventure Park challenges but now she’s away at college.. Good luck everyone. A tip on the golf, pull the mouse back slowly to get it to hit softer.
My husband and I do not have these things and getting them will be nice, I’m not fond of the fact, nor is he, that they chose the mini golf game for the challenge. The last time my husband and tried to play this game, it was massively glitched for we both found that in a good number of the shots, the ball would “disappear” and thus rendering the game unplayable. Let’s just hope they fixed this.
Move the mouse around in a circular motion until ball reappears.. Good luck my friends
WOW, i was so hoping to get these prizes but i played mini golf for the first time yesterday and it is so poorly set up! Half the time i cant even see my player or where the hole is due to the angle! Im really bummed that im probably not going to make it
I agree with the other players because I already have these prizes that aren’t that special; and, the mini-golf game is frustratingly difficult. This is not up to your usual standard for the monthly challenges in any way. I look forward to the challenges for something different to do each month and I hope they will continue to have doable tasks and wanted unusual prizes.
wow, once you guys have outdone your selves, ty for the chance to win these awesome prizes.
I don’t recall them ever promising that Deluxe would always get ‘new’ prizes for their challenges. I don’t know when it ever changed, but I remember when we were satisfied to have extra play and prizes. Have we all become so spoiled that we must have dessert after dinner? So many new items, we Deluxe users have seen in the past year. It’s nice when the challenge doesn’t make us the envy of the players for once. I’m happy that I can take my time on this one and get it if I want and if I can’t finish the golf games I really haven’t lost so much. It would be much sadder if it was for an AWESOME prize and we had to get 200 in Zingoz Switcheroo. I’d be begging for mercy! All things considered; it’s a decent prize. At one time if you had a Hippo Fridge, you were all kinds of awesome. Now you can’t give ‘me away. Just don’t know.
Well put.
