When I first came up with the idea of The Great Trophy Chase I didn’t plan on trying for a Scrambled trophy, but this weekend I won a Scrambled trophy on both of my accounts!
The trophy looks like a folded omelette:
It’s also animated and bounces up and down:
Scrambled, which is actually called “Webkinz Scrambled” if you’re looking for it in the arcade, is a lot like Pizza Palace. Instead of pizza, though, you’re cooking up omelettes for a line of customers.
Here’s what the basic game play looks like:
(That’s my Strawberry Cloud Leopard named Lila – I also got the high score that day!)
You blend up one or more eggs plus one or more ingredients, depending on what type of omelette the customer has ordered. You put the omelette on the grill, pick it up once its cooked and put in on the customer’s plate.
Scrambled sounds deceptively easy because it’s more challenging than it first may seem. There are only 10 levels total – when you pass the 10th level you win the trophy. Levels 1 through 4 are pretty simple; even Level 5 isn’t too hard. It’s around Level 6 when some new challenges start to get thrown your way.
I’ve gahtered up some tips for Webkinz Scrambled that I think will help you pass the higher levels and eventually win that cool trophy. 🙂
First, there are two very important things to keep in mind while playing Scrambled. One is that every second counts. Two, stay calm and don’t panic when the customer starts to get angry.
What do I mean by an angry customer? Well, just like in Pizza Palace, a customer will start to show signs of anger (frowny face, puffs of smoke) when they’ve been waiting for a long time.
Here’s what an angry customer looks like in Scrambled:
There’s some good news, though. Customers may seem to lose their temper pretty quickly, but they actually stick around for quite a long time even after they’ve started to let out puffs of smoke/steam. It can be tempting to keep looking up at the customer or to get frazzled by their impatience. If you want to win the trophy, though, you have to practice ignoring the signs of anger and just keep playing the game calmly.
My next important tip is to only take care of two customers at a time. Now, there are five plates total, which means in the higher levels you’ll always have five customers waiting to be served. If this was Pizza Palace, I would suggest that you multitask and take several customers’ orders at once.
However, in Scrambled, you can’t really multitask – there’s only one blender, and you can’t buy more blenders, a faster stove, etc. Click on the first customer in line. Take their order and start blending up the ingredients. Once that omelette is on the grill, take the next customer’s order and blend it up while the first omelette is cooking.
That’s it. Just two customers at a time. Keep using this strategy throughout the whole level on every level. Just ignore the line of customers that start to crowd up in the back. I promise you can win the trophy with this strategy.
Staying calm and sticking to your strategy is how you earn your trophy. However, that doesn’t mean you can go slow or just take your time. Like I said before, in Scrambled, every second counts – even a split second counts!
So here are some tips and tricks I’ve learned to keep you from wasting any valuable time.
1. Keep your egg tray full
In the higher levels customers will start asking for four and five eggs in their omelettes, which will empty your tray of eggs quickly. Click on the stack of egg cartons to refill your tray – you don’t have to wait until the tray is completely empty.
Fill up the tray any chance you get or you could find yourself with an empty tray and having to wait to fill the next order. Also, don’t stop to watch the egg tray fill up. Just keep moving on with the order.
2. Dump in the ingredients as quickly as possible – you don’t have to go one at a time.
You see the cheese, onions and tomatoes in the bowls above? Those are the three ingredients you have to work with. Just go click, click, click. You don’t have to wait for one of the ingredients to fully empty into the blender before you can click on the next one.
3. The omelette only needs to go one shade darker
Scrambled is different from the Cooking Class where the pancakes must go two shades darker before they’re ready to be served. As soon as you see the omelette go one shade darker, that means it’s done and ready to be served.
4. You don’t have to babysit the blender
Once the ingredients are in, and you’ve clicked the button to start up the blender, it will do all the work on its own – including stopping on its own when the mixing has finished. So just start up the blender and focus on the next task.
5. Be precise about where you click
I’ve found that being sloppy with your clicking, especially when cooking and serving the omelettes, will waste valuable time. The game doesn’t give you much leeway in where you click in order to perform a task. Click directly on the omelette to serve it, and click directly in the middle of the customer in order to put the omelette on the plate. For me, this has been one of the most important time savers I’ve developed.
6. From Level 6 onward, each customer wants all 3 ingredients
You’ll notice this one on your own, but just remember that in Levels 6 through 10, each customer is going to ask for all three of the ingredients, so you only have to worry about the number of eggs.
One last important tip – serve the customers in order of arrival!
As I mentioned above, there are 5 plates on the counter. In the first few levels, the customers go to each plate in order from left to right, so it’s really easy to keep track of who you should serve next.
Unfortunately, this gets trickier in the later levels. Instead of lining up neatly from plate 1 to plate 5, now each customer will simply appear at the counter wherever an empty plate happens to be. This means you can’t just keep moving left to right and still be serving the customers in order.
What happens if you serve the customers out of order? Well, as we saw above, customers get angry when they have to wait. If the customer waits too long, POOF! They disappear. You only get so many “tries” on each level. If you lose too many customers in one level, the game is over.
So what’s the solution? There’s two parts. First, use your peripheral vision to see what animal has stepped up to which color plate. By that, I mean look from the corner of your eye while still working on blending and cooking up the omelettes. Second, if you’re not sure who’s next, look to see who’s starting to get angry. If a customer has started “smoking” or “steaming,” then they’ve been there the longest and that’s who you should serve.
Whew! I know that was a lot of information, but I hope it was helpful. When you pass Level 10 you’ll see this message, and you’ll know you won the trophy:
