A couple of trophies and some Thoughts from the Treetop: May 2, 2017

Sometimes the real world keeps me busy and I get behind on my Webkinz blogging. 🙂  I’m having an easy day today, just enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the birds at the feeders on my back deck.

I’ve got some fun news and some random thoughts to share, so I figured I’d do a Thoughts from the Treetop post and just collect it all in one place.

First I want to share my exciting news (well, it’s exciting to me, anyway) – I finally got a Pet Party Parade trophy! 🙂 I got the trophy a few days ago on my TreeHuggerJess account, and it’s really cute.

When you complete all 30 levels of the game, you’ll see this message:

Then because it was my first time winning the whole game and earning a trophy, I got this message:

Last, here’s a look at the trophy in my Trophy Room:

Have you won the Pet Party Parade trophy yet? How many levels have you been able to beat so far? Do you have any tips for winning Pet Party Parade?

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means a new Deluxe Monthly Challenge. In order to meet this month’s challenge, you’ve got to earn 150 kinzcash playing Color Storm.

I’ve actually got some tips for playing Color Storm. To read the tips, click here for the blog post I wrote during the Color Storm Trophy Challenge.

Speaking of trophies, I finally won the Candy Bash 2 trophy – and I won it on both of my accounts!

The Candy Bash 2 trophy looks like a chili pepper:

Here it is in my trophy room:

(And there’s my Grumpy Cat giving us a photo bomb!)

The Candy Bash 2 trophy is actually pretty easy to win once you know the secret/trick to unlocking it. The trophy is awarded randomly, BUT the only way you can have a chance of winning the trophy is by first getting “4 in a row” while you’re collecting the falling candy.

That means “catching” four of the same type of candies/sweets in a row, like this:

Once you’ve collected four in a row, keep playing and wait for the cat (named Gato Loco) to float by across the top of the screen. If Gato Loco is holding a trophy, hit him with a bean – the trophy will fall, and if you catch the trophy before it hits the ground, then congrats! You now have the Candy Bash 2 Trophy! When you catch the trophy, you’ll hear Poncho say “Arrrrrribe!”

The random trophy counter will reset after each appearance by Gato Loco. So if you see the cat but don’t get the trophy, you need to do another four in a row in order to have another chance at the trophy.

Have you won the Candy Bash 2 Trophy yet?

I’ve adopted a couple of pets recently. One of them was the Baby Bunny. The Baby Bunny was a special pet in the month of April because Baby Bunny owners got a extra activity each day. (Like the Reindeer Games in December and the Lovely Fox bonus activities in February.)

I named my Baby Bunny “Gidget,” and I think she’s a cutie:

Here’s Gidget wearing the Farmer’s Wife dress you can sometimes find at the Ganz eStore. (The clothing selection changes frequently.)

If you want your own Baby Bunny, the plush is still available at the Ganz eStore.

The Flower Collection Event just kicked off – if you want some tips on collection event success, click here for a blot post with advice on how to collect flowers quickly.

I’ll wrap up my Thoughts from the Treetop with a picture of the Super Token I recently won – this Super Token was worth three wish tokens!

Have you ever had a Super Token? What did you win? (Deluxe Members get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day!)

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic week!

 

Tips for Flower Collection Success

The Flower Collection Challenge officially kicked off on May 1st. To complete the collection and win all 5 prizes, you need to collect a total of 50 flowers. The prizes are all different pieces of playground equipment:

One of my favorite part of these collection challenges is that you can complete the collection more than once! That means you can win each prize two or even three times if you have a flower collecting strategy.

Follow these tips to complete your collection faster!

There are 4 ways to get flowers:

1. Each day, pull up the Kinzville and click on the Flower Collection icon to automatically be awarded two flowers.

So that’s my first tip – logging on every day! It may seem simple, but just clicking on the icon will get you 62 total flowers!

2. Make sure you visit Webkinz Newz to find the “floaty clicky” flower. Click on the floating flower and one flower will automatically be added to your collection. You can do this once per account per day. That’s 31 flowers!

3. Purchase flowers using Ganz eStore points. Each flower costs 500 eStore points. Personally, I would only use eStore points if it was the very last day of collecting flowers, and I was one or two flowers away from the next prize.

4. Ask 10 friends for flowers each day. Now here is where you really need a strategy. You don’t want to just go down your friends list and click on random names. You want to select 10 friends that play daily and quickly respond to requests.

So how do you find out who those friends are? Try this little trick for cleaning up your friends list:

First, go to the WShop and purchase one of the cheapest building kits. That will either be the Ivy Brick Wall or the Wacky Clay Sculpture, which cost 100 kinzcash each.

Drag the building kit into one of your rooms and start asking for supplies. Then, grab a pen and a piece of paper and wait for the responses to come rolling in. Which of your Webkinz friends responded the quickest? Write down their names and use that list when asking for flowers!

If you’re like me, you’ve got a couple of hundred friends, but only a few dozen of them are really active. For just 100 kinzcash, you can quickly and easily find out who your active friends are!

Of course, you want to thank your best Webkinz friends by sending them a gift or a note from time to time. Always make sure your friends know that you appreciate their help!
