Amazing Operation Gumball!
Operation Gumball is a fantastically challenging game in the Arcade. It’s a code-breaking, gumball rolling good time! To play this game, you have to guess the order and the sequence of the number needed to crack the code. Just watch the time on the clock and make sure you guess the sequence before the gumballs fill up the machine! When you’re cracking the code, the gumballs that roll out tell you about whether the code you guessed is right or not. This is what the colors tell you: You know you’ve got a correct number in a correct spot if you see a green gumball. You know you’ve got a correct number in an incorrect spot if you see a red gumball. You know none of the numbers you guessed are correct at all if you see no gumballs. The trophy is totally awesome – and you have a chance to win it at any point during the game (but you can only ever win one). Good luck with those gumballs!

Ella Interviews Dr. Quack
Ella McWoof: I am thrilled today to be joined by Webkinz World’s foremost medical practitioner, Dr. Quack. Dr. Quack: Oh, Ella. You’re making me blush! EM: Dr. Quack, it really is an honor to have you here. I know how busy you are. DQ: That’s true. I’m pretty much at the Clinic all the time! EM: What about those rare moments when you’re not working? What do you like to do for fun? DQ: I like to golf. I like to cook. I really like having friends over for dinner. I like having tea with my dear friend, Ms. Birdy. EM: You and Ms. Birdy have been friends for quite a long time, haven’t you? DQ: Oh, yes. Emily and I go way back. EM: Dr. Quack, not too many Webkinz know how you got started in the medical profession – can you fill us in? DQ: Well, to be honest…I thought I was going to be an engineer. Lots of ducks in my family are engineers, and I thought I should be one as well. But when I went to school and started learning about engineering, I realized: it just wasn’t for me. My dad was NOT very … Read more

Interview with Chef Sophia
Today’s interview will be with Chef Sophia Soufflé, Webkinz World’s foremost dessert artisan! Ella McWoof: Chef Soufflé, thank you for joining us! Sophia Soufflé: Please, call me Sophia. EM: OK! Sophia, it’s commonly known that you had to work very hard to get to where you are today. Can you tell me a bit about that? SS: You’re right, Ella. I did have to work hard. I worked all through chef school. While other kids got to go home after a hard day at school, I went to the local restaurant and waited tables and did dishes. Over time, the head chef saw how passionate I was about food, and he let me start helping out in the kitchen. Pretty soon, I was a sous-chef, which is the chef who assists the head chef. EM: You must have been very proud to become the sous-chef at such a young age. SS: I was. I worked hard for it, and I was proud of myself. Not as proud as my parents were, I’m sure. They told everyone they knew about what their daughter was doing. They’d come to eat at the restaurant every time they were in town. EM: While … Read more
Play Lily Padz 2: Down Pourz!
Summer is usually filled with sunny, warm days and bright, clear skies…except when a storm is brewing! That’s one of the things you have to watch out for in Lily Padz 2: Down Pourz. In this game, you’re a frog who has to watch for bees, rising water, and rainstorms. You use the arrow keys and space bar to aim and jump. Keep jumping from mushrooms to lily pads to logs to rocks – but don’t stay stationary for too long, or you’ll sink (unless you’re on a rock – they don’t sink). The first time you make it to the end of the game, you’ll get a trophy! Time to play Lily Padz 2: Down Pourz now!
Plumpy in the Big City
Dear Nibbles, I’m having SUCH a great time on my honeymoon! Charles and I are in the Big City and we’ll be here for a couple of weeks – which is good, because there’s SO much to do! I know you guys came here for your end-of-the-year trip, so you got to experience some of the awesome things the city has to offer. Charles and I have been to amazing restaurants and we’ve seen a couple of really wonderful shows. I wish you had been with me when we saw the musical – it was so funny and exciting! We’re going to try and visit ALL the museums and galleries…and as many restaurants as we can. Charles is giving a lecture at the university, so I’ll have a day to myself. I was thinking maybe you could take the bus to the city and meet me here? Maybe we could hang out? I’ll call mom later and ask if she’ll let you come visit me! I do miss you a ton, Nibbles! Hope all is well in Kinzville! Love, Plumpy
Make the Mining Game!
Roberta here with a really fun game craft! One of the great things about the Webkinz Road Trip is the games that you can play to try and win a prize. I figured out a really fun way to make a game that you can play with your friends. It’s based on the Gem Mining job! Here’s how to make a gem mine of your own. What you need: Fake plastic jewels in five different colors (three of each gem), box, gray paint, paintbrush, shredded newspaper or tissue paper What you do: Paint the box gray. This is your ‘mine.’ Put your jewels in the box. If you like, layer them with the shredded paper (so they’re distributed throughout the box). Have your friend reach into the box and pull out a jewel. Have them try to find the other two jewels that match the color they chose. If your friend gets all three jewels of one color, they win a prize! If the second jewel they pull out doesn’t match the first one, have them put both jewels back in and have someone else take a turn.
Fabulous Flutterbugged
Get ready for a whole lot of laughter with Fiona the sheep in Flutterbugged! The Flutterbugs will chase Fiona around trying to tickle her, so it’s your job to use the arrow keys and avoid them. Lead the Flutterbugs toward the candy carnations and keep Fiona from being caught. The more you avoid those bugs, the faster they’re going to fly! Avoid them long enough and you just might win the Flutterbugged trophy!
Ella Interviews Arte
I’m here today with everyone’s favorite explorer, Arte Fact. Arte, thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to do an interview! Arte Fact: My pleasure, Ella. It’s been a long while since anyone asked to interview me about anything! Ella: I find that hard to believe. After all, you’ve had quite an exciting career! AF: I have, it’s true. Even though I’ve settled down somewhat, I do occasionally miss those old days of crazy adventure. EM: What was your craziest adventure? AF: I have to pick just one? That’s impossible! They were all quite outstanding. The time I went to the top of Mount ‘Kinz…the time I discovered the gem mines…meeting the Azure Zingoz…it was all fantastic. EM: A lot of folks have wanted to know: are you still in touch with Matilda? AF: Matilda Monkey? Why, yes. She and I email each other at least once a week. She’s teaching right now, in West Webkinz World. She’s a beloved professor, and I’m so proud of her. She’s extremely talented. I attended one of her lectures once – her students just adore her. EM: And you? How do you feel about Matilda? AF: She’s an … Read more
Play Booger gets an A!
School’s out for summer, so what better time to brush up on your math skills? Now with Booger Gets an A, you’ll be able to be an arithmetic ace by the time September rolls around! Just look at the number Booger is thinking of and make it by clicking on blocks that add up to the number. Certain blocks have symbols on them and if you use the blocks in your addition, you can use their powers. A block with an eraser will erase one line of numbers. A block with a clock on it will stop the time for a few moments. A block with an apple on it will knock off some of the sums you have to make (so you’ll have to make fewer of them). This game has a pretty amazing calculator trophy, so see if you can win it!
Postcard to Nibbles
Dear Nibbles, I’m writing to you from frosty Northern Webkinz World! It’s always chilly up here, even in the summertime. Just because there’s snow and ice everywhere doesn’t mean there’s not much to do – just the opposite! We’ve been skating and skiing and snowshoeing. The other night, Charles and I were lucky enough to go to an art show put on by Blake E. Behr (Fluffington’s favorite artist). It was exquisite! The ice sculptures were simply stunning. I hope you’re enjoying the warm summer in Kinzville. To be honest, I can’t wait until we head south again – although I love the scenery up here, it’s just a bit too cold for this hippo! Love, Plumpy
Play Scrambled!
Scrambled is one egg-cellent game in the Arcade! If you’re a big fan of omelets (or if you just like cooking up a storm), you’re sure to love this fast-paced, egg-cracking good time! In Scrambled, you have to serve your customers as quickly and accurately as possible. What starts out as an easy day at the diner escalates into a frenzy of blending and grilling – and that’s no yolk! Try this game out today and see how much fun diner life can be!
Postcard From Plumpy
Dear Wiggles, I am having such a fun time on my honeymoon! Charles and I have been to so many places in Webkinz World. Right now, we’re visiting Zumwhere. It’s quite magical! We’ve met so many nice Zums, and they’re all very happy to show us around. I’ve been practicing my photography skills and trying to get a few good pictures of the Zums, but it’s not as easy as it looks – those little guys are fast! I hope you’re having a great summer in Kinzville! I’ll write again soon! Love, Plumpy
