Many fans of Wishing Well 2 have asked, “What did the original Wishing Well look like?” While the core gameplay of matching rows has remained the same, we wanted to update the design to make it look more like an actual Wishing Well.
Make sure you visit the Webkinz Arcade once a day to get your 5 wishes and win some KinzCash!
wow so cool. I started in I think 2007 and I never saw it.
I started in 2008 and they had it only on a special day (one day) then was gone! :(
I always wondered why it was Wishing Well 2. Did they stop using it because it crashed or something?
abbysweet83, I don’t know what happen to it. I remember reading somewhere that their was a game called Bamboo Break (I think) It sounds fun hope they bring that back also.
Yeah I kinda remember Bamboo Break. I was never really good at it though so I didn’t play it that much.
my brother always asks me about Wishing Well 1 and now i know about it!
Aw! I wish I had been on when this was still in the arcade! It’s so cool and different! -T2MW1-
Me too! I started Dec 27th 07 so I never got to see this game. I was always wondering why it was wishing well 2 instead if just wishing well.
that is so cool they should name the new one wishing well and the old one wishing well 2 and put them both into webkinz world
Hmm I want to say I remember this, but I started in April 2007, would I have been on during the time? (I was like 6 years old so I’m not positive that I remember that) It would be cool like for Webkinz Day if y’all brought this back just once a year along with other retired games like Bamboo Break…..
I am positive I don’t and I started at six as well, only in September. So it would be safe to say you most likely don’t either.
Okay thanks ha! I guess it’s hard to remember things from that long ago. :lol: :mrgreen:
I know, I am getting paranoid about forgetting childhood memories now……… I am only thirteen but I am like in five years I could be out of the house…. Ahhh, don’t forget preschool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL :)
I started getting into webkinz when I was six too!
I don’t think that Deluxe Membership was around back then!
Yes, I think that webkinz should bring this back just for once!
thanks for agreeing! :mrgreen: :lol: :D ;) :)
I barely remember this. I started in December of ’06, so I knew it, but just barely. Thanks for the memories!
I thought I started around then, too, but I could be wrong. By the way, have you read Redwall? Your name sounds like one of the characters from it. ;)
So that’s why its called wishing well 2! BTW the old menu background looks pretty cool! :)
Love the Wild Card! Wish we had that back…..
Me too. Country Kinz 17, I think so too!
Thanks for showing us this. I started playing in late 2007 so it has always been the Wishing Well 2 for me. And WOW am I seeing the prize amounts right? Looks like with the original game you could win up to 10,000 kinzcash? That’s a LOT of cash. Granted if it was anything like the new Wishing Well 2 game, you would never win that because I have been playing that game almost every day for years and have only won the three wells in the middle once and the 1,000 maybe a couple of times. So rare that it is sad really to think how many times I have played for so little return. Oh well. Still it is fun to see how this original game looked.
Man it would be so cool to get that much kinzcash!!
Ya…that would be cool!! I like the background of the old wishing well, but I also like the new one also. Either way…great job Ganz and thanks for the money and prizes that we do win!! :)
Up to $100,000 that is crazy!
hey pingpongkitties, i have gotten 3 wells on bottom or top row. Did you get to have your choice when you got the middle row? Ps what did ypu choose?
Hope you don’t mind if I answer instead. You get your choice of an exclusive item from the Wish Factory. I won it just last week and chose the chocolate couch. Good luck on getting the prize, too! :)
That’s not that fair anymore now that the Wish Factory exists. It would have been more fair if they were only awarded when you adopt a pet.
Hi heidivike – Yes, I got a choice of an exclusive item and I chose the swan boat car because it was when it first came out and I didn’t have one at the time. Thanks for asking and good luck to you for a middle row win!
Actually, that’s 100,000 kc for 5 wells.
Wow you are right (I think I need to get my eyes checked – lol). It would be so awesome to win that much kc!
om goodness! that would amazing! :) :) :) ;)
Yeah, it has always been Wishing Well 2 for me, too. I think I’ve gotten three wells twice, and on one of those I actually won an exclusive item, which was cool. I’m glad to see what the first one was like, I was beginning to wonder if it had even existed! Wouldn’t it be cool if they brought it back, if only for a short time?
Yeah, that would be great, SmoresOfScotland. Great idea–they could have a REAL throwback Thursday and bring back one vintage game. . . or item . . . or clothing piece! That would be fun, wouldn’t it?
That would be so cool and fun! Hope they listen to your great ideas.
I ditto on liking your idea and hoping they see your comment
A REAL Throwback Thursday would be AWESOME!!! ANYONE could play original games, & if the throwback was an item or furniture, any one could get it. but I’d only like this idea if free players could get it too. I mean, I’m a full player, but still. But if you do this & you wanna do it aas a Deluxe, PLEASE just don’t do it at all.
they should do throwback webkinz thursday like make retired webkinz
pingpongkitties, I agree. I have only been a member since 2013, but i have 16,321 and usually have more ;) :P so i need that 10,000. The old wishing well opening is better, and the prizes are better. Also pingpongkitties, do you have the webkinz day dress? If you do, friend princesskitty0608.
love wishing well!
Hi itsadventuretime23 – I am not sure about having a webkinz day dress. I know I have a webkinz gown that I think I won through a challenge, is that what you mean? In any case, feel free to friend me at pingpongkitties. Have fun!
Hey, I remember this.
It’s like walking through Arte’s shop and seeing an old arcade machine! Only it’s Wishing Well–how cool is that? It does in fact look more fun than 2…As for three wells in center row, good for you! I have played many years now and still have not hit three wells center (only top) but at least have all the new and old exclusives and over 100 wish tokens (just in case they intro lots of new exclusives at once ;) I once thought I would play Wishing Well 2 until one of two things happened: I won an exclusive or I got zero kc. Of course I did not really expect to ever get zero kc–but I did once–(and yes, I still played after that anyway (haha) though I have not for awhile now. Have fun everyone :)
I agree, it is very cool! I have won zero kc a few times and was very surprised, but I keep playing anyway (you win some and lose some right?) – I have lots of wish tokens too and am thankful for that. Thanks for sharing and good luck on that rare three wells center win!
I have only received the 3 wells twice (once on each account), and I have gotten 0 kc before, 3 days in a row. I just put it up to just having bad luck that week. :)
I agree No one ever gets 3 wells for an exclusive hardly ever, I think Webkinz should fix that?
I remember the original wishing well!! I started a few days before they introduced the new one. It was so cool!!! I remember getting TONS of KC!! ~SS
Awesome! Congrats on the tons of kc – that is so cool that you got to play the original Wishing Well!
I was always wondering why it was called wishing well 2, and now I know, but the mystery really is why thy got rid of it. second, theres like soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more kinzcash!
I started playing about a year after webkinz came out, I’ve never won the wishing wells in the middle! I do remember everything about the old webkinz, the loading docks were super cool and so was the background for rooms you have in your house. A lot of the updates they’ve done are pretty cool, I mean there are a few things I wish they hadn’t changed but the new wishing well one of the okay changes.
Thanks for the info…can you remember any of the wallpapers to describe them? What a great idea…Yoohoo Ganz: may we please have a throwback to visit the original wallpapers? I missed out on the early years but have been able to snag most older things through diligent trading efforts ;) Year one remains my toughest challenge…But older wallpapers would have been lost when a room was redecorated (I guess unless anyone had the foresight to buy and keep extras, and it has been only somewhat recently that we have been able to store paper and floors in a room.) Well thanks :)
yea, so true. I’ve been playing most every day since 2006 and even I have never gotten 3 wells or any amount that great
I think it says 100,000 kinzcash!
that looks cool why would anyone change it?
I have only ever played wishing well 2 as well and in that one you could actually win 100,000 kinzcash!
My mom & I were on Webkinz for the original Wishing Well & as you can imagine, we never got anywhere near those crazy high prizes but it was a lot of fun! It took a while to get used to the 2nd one after seeing the 1st one for so long but I enjoy them both! It sounds to me like you’re doing pretty well on Wishing Well 2! I’ve only gotten 3 wells in the middle once & never the 1,000, my mom has gotten the 1,000 only once or twice, & my sister has never gotten either big prize. We’ve always wondered if there will ever be a Wishing Well 3.
You can actually get up to 50,000 kinzcash in the original
I have been playing for five years and have never gotten three wells.
