Rockerz Pets and Backstage Pass Prizes

Today I want to take a closer look at the prizes you can choose from when you purchase (or win if the case may be) a Rockerz Pets Backstage Pass.

A Backstage Pass is a lot like a POTM gift box or a Super Bed gift box. You drag the pass into your pet’s room, and you’ll be treated to a bunch of Rockerz themed prizes to choose from.

You get a Backstage Pass with each Rockerz Pet you adopt. You can also purchase a Backstage Pass in the Ganz eStore for 2500 eStore points. This month (March 2018), as part of the Deluxe Monthly Challenge, you can win a Backstage Pass and a VIP Backstage Pass. (More on the VIP Backstage Pass later.)

There are 12 prizes to choose from when you open up a Backstage Pass. As you’ll see, all of these prizes have a “rock and roll” theme. If you collect enough of these prizes, you can put together some really cool rooms. Backstage Pass prizes are especially perfect for building a concert room.

All of the Backstage Pass prizes are so awesome that you might have trouble making a choice. To help you pick the most perfect Backstage Pass prize, I’ve taken a closer look at almost all of the items – there’s only one that I don’t have yet.

As I mentioned, there are a total of 12 prizes available from Backstage Passes. Here’s a list you can use for reference or for keeping track of the prizes you’ve collected so far:

1. Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine
2. Webkinz Paws of Fame
3. Touring Trunk
4. Studio Headphones
5. Stage Light Lamp
6. Souvenir T-Shirt
7. Souvenir Poster
8. Rockerz Electric Guitar
9. Rock Stadium Wallpaper
10. Rock Stadium Flooring
11. Main Stage Mic
12. Wireless Headset

ROCK STADIUM WALLPAPER AND FLOORING

I want to start with the Rock Stadium Wallpaper and Rock Stadium Flooring. These are two items that are really great to have if you want to build rock concert room.

Here’s a rock and roll room I’m still working on. It’s not finished, but it will give you a look at the flooring and wallpaper:

One thing the Rockerz Backstage Pass items have in common is bright, fun colors. You’ll see the turquoise/purple/pink combination in lots of the items.

The Rock Stadium Wallpaper is really cool because it packs your room with speakers and spotlights that instantly create a rock concert feeling. The Rockerz logo on the back wall is a perfect backdrop for a Webkinz Rockerz concert.

I love how the Rock Stadium Flooring divides the room into two spaces. The front half of the room is where you’d place your audience and items like the ticket booth. The back half is a wooden floor, which makes it look just like a stage!

TOURING TRUNK

The Touring Trunk is an item that I’ve used as part of a “Pop Princess” room. This room is a combination of a living space and a recording studio:

The Touring Trunk can be used to store clothing items. It holds a total of 8 pieces of clothing:

MAIN STAGE MIC

The Main Stage Mic, which is a combination of a microphone and stool, creates the feeling of a more intimate, acoustic type of concert.

You can see from the gif above that the Main Stage Mic is an animated item. When your pet sits on the seat little black music notes rise up into the air.

The Main Stage Mic would work for a concert room or for a recording studio. How would you use this item?

WEBKINZ PAWS OF FAME

The Webkinz Paws of Fame is only for decoration. You can place the tile in any room on top of the flooring. This item is a Webkinz version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Take a closer look and you can see that the prints are from all different types of animals…there are paws, claws, hooves and more.

One thing I really like about the Webkinz Paws of Fame is that it’s pretty large. It covers nearly one fourth of the floor:

CRAZY CROWD SOUND EFFECT MACHINE

The Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine is a really fun item. Depending on which way it’s turned, you can choose one of four different looks. The picture above shows the Crazy Crowd Sound Effect Machine turned forward with the speakers facing out. Notice the stickers on the side.

Here are three more looks you can get when you turn this item:

 

I think the blue guitar leaning up against the speaker is a really cool detail!

STAGE LIGHT LAMP

The Stage Light Lamp is an animated item. As you can see in the gif below, the lights turn on (blue, pink and green) and move around.

This item would be a fun addition to any type of concert room or even a big dance party.

ROCKERZ ELECTRIC GUITAR

The Rockerz Electric Guitar is a decorative item. As you can see, it’s shaped like a W and features bold purple, blue and magenta pink colors.

The picture below will give you a better idea of the size of the Rockerz Electric Guitar. That’s my chipmunk Wanderlei – he’s wearing his Social Media Superstar hoodie! 🙂

There are quite a few different ways you could use the Rockerz Electric Guitar in a room. I’ve always wanted to build a music store or you could even put the guitar in a funky teen room. What ideas do you have for the Rockerz Electric Guitar?

SOUVENIR POSTER

The Souvenir Poster is another item that could work in a variety of different rooms. If you take a close up look at the Souvenir Poster you can see that it features four Rockerz Pets. The pink cat is one of my favorites – she’s so cute!

STUDIO HEADPHONES

The Studio Headphones are a wearable item:

I love the bright, bold pink color of the Studio Headphones, and you can even see them on your pet down in the left corner of the screen:

The Studio Headphones are the perfect accessory for a pet in the studio recording their newest track!

SOUVENIR T-SHIRT

Last up is another wearable item – the souvenir t-shirt. This black shirt features the Rockerz Pets logo on the front and a star design.

You get a peek of the logo when the shirt is on your pet:

Except for the Wireless Headset, those are all of the different prizes you can choose from when you purchase a Backstage Pass. Which item is your favorite? What kind of room would you like to build using the Backstage Pass items?

Let’s get ready for a fun week!

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!

 

A Brand New Bake Sale Has Arrived!

Today is the start of the brand new Webkinz bake sale celebration! From now through April 30th, you can collect different baked goods and combine them on a stove to “cook up” one of 10 awesome prizes.

Last year’s Bake Sale was so much fun! I’m really excited that Ganz brought it back with new prizes and goodies! I have a few tips for Bake Sale success that I posted last year – click here to read the post and see how you can make the most of this bake sale fun.

Let’s start with the basics – if you want to cook up prizes, you first need to collect the ingredients. The ingredients are 5 different kinds of baked goods, and there are actually 5 different ways to collect them!

1. “Today’s Annoucements” – you get one baked good just for logging into your account.
2. Spin the Wheel of Yum – make sure you head over to Today’s Activities to spin the Wheel of Yum and collect another baked good. (and maybe even win a Blueberry Prize Pie!)
3. Looking for floating baked goods in Webkinz World. Keep your eyes open for the floating baked goods all around Webkinz World – you can collect up to 5 per day!
4. Floating gift box on Webkinz Newz. When you’re doing your daily activities on Webkinz Newz, be on the lookout for the floating blue and white gift box. Click on it to send a gift box back to your Webkinz account – it will contain one baked good!
5. Keep checking Today’s Activities – throughout the day there will be random baked good giveaways, so check the Today’s Activities list to find out when.

As I mentioned above, in total there are 5 different types of baked goods (and they all look so yummy!):

Even though these foods look super yummy, remember that you must cook a specific combination of baked goods on a stove in order to get the prizes – simply feeding them to your pet won’t work. (All of the recipes are available in a cookbook that you get for free just for logging into your account!)

The prizes for this year’s Bake Sale are a little different. There’s no particular theme like last year where you could build a sweet shop or a school cafeteria. This year is a mixture of furniture and accessories that will work with many different themes. There are 10 prizes total – are you going to try to cook up all 10?

Don’t forget about the Grand Prize! Feed your pet a slice of Blueberry Prize Pie for a chance to win this awesome nautical-themed bunk bed:

You can purchase a piece of Blueberry Prize Pie in the Ganz eStore for 2500 eStore points.

Or, if you’re lucky, you might win one when you spin the Wheel of Yum!

I purchased one slice of Blueberry Prize Pie and won another through the Wheel of Yum this morning. Take a look below to see what prizes I got:

Here’s a peek at 3 of the prizes I’ve collected so far:

First is the Mega Modern Carpet, which actually has two different styles/designs depending on which way you turn it:

(This carpet is in a room that I’m building for my Blue Avenue Pomeranian!)

Next is the Campkinz Lake Tile, which is smaller than I thought it would be:

I’m hoping I can make enough Campkinz Lake Tiles to fill up the ocean scene I’ve been working on:

You can see that I’ve used the Cozy Yacht Bed and several items available exclusively on Vacation Island. (Vacation Island is only available to Deluxe members!)

Last up I have the Fancy Hotel Dining Chair:

I’m really excited about this prize because it’s a perfect fit for the Hotel Theme. As you can see, I paired the Fancy Hotel Dining Chair with the Fancy Hotel Dining Table you can buy with Wish Tokens in the Wish Factory. (Remember that Deluxe members can earn tokens each day by spinning the Wheel of Wishes!)

Which of the Bake Sale prizes are your favorites? What’s your plan for collecting as many Baked Goods as possible? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you a prize from last year’s Bake Sale! 🙂

2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags

I’m sure you can guess that I was *very* excited about the arrival of the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags at the Ganz eStore. I started out by buying four mystery clothing bags, and then I just kept buying and buying! 🙂

It’s been a while since I’ve made a video, so I decided to do one where I open/unbox all of the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags I purchased. There are so many that I had to do the video in fast motion.

If you like the clothes I won in my 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags, then head over to the Ganz eStore and pick some up…they won’t be around forever! And don’t forget that Deluxe members get a discounted price!

I hope you enjoy the video!

2017 Spring Clothing Line has arrived!

I am very excited to announce the arrival of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the Kinzstyle Shop! I hope you stocked up on your favorite items from the 2016 Fall Clothing Line because it was retired earlier this week.

I am absolutely thrilled with the spring clothing collection PJ Collie has put together for us. 🙂 The pieces all mix and match so well, and the main colors – pale blue and mint green – are just perfect for spring. In addition to several pieces of clothing, there are a couple of pairs of shoes and some really fun (and cute!) accessories. You’re going to love putting together spring celebration outfits for your pets!

You can find all 12 of the pieces of the 2017 Spring Clothing Line in the “new” section at the Kinzstyle Outlet:

Before we get to the fashion show, let’s break down the 2017 Spring Clothing Line by name and price – notice that four of the items are only available to Deluxe members:

1. Blue Gumboots 240 kinzcash
2. Cinched Sweater 400 kinzcash
3. Dark Blue Paisley Shorts 215 kinzcash
4. Floral Headband 135 kinzcash
5. Light Green Slacks 290 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
6. Lightly Layered Skirt 380 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
7. Lovely Spring Sunglasses 180 kinzcash
8. Paisley Newsboy 225 kinzcash (Deluxe only)
9. Pretty Bow Flats 215 kinzcash
10. Spring Gradient Tee 250 kinzcash
11. Springtime Trench 450 kinzcash
12. Springy Vest 230 kinzcash (Deluxe only)

Now it’s time to see how these items look on some Webkinz pets! I hope that these outfits I put together will help you decide which pieces from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line you want most. Or maybe you want all 12 pieces!

First up is my Blue Persian Kitten named Audrey – I wanted to showcase my two absolute favorite items from the 2017 Spring Clothing Line: the Floral Headband and the Lovely Spring Sunglasses:

I paired these adorable accessories with a Bluebird Dress (a clothing item that was available in the 2016 Summer Mystery Clothing Bag). I absolutely love the way the little yellow details in the flowers match the yellow ribbon on the dress.

Now let’s take a look at a couple of the items that are only available to Deluxe members – the Light Green Slacks and the matching Springy Vest:

This outfit is being modeled by Luna, my Moon Fox. The top is called a Springy Vest, but it’s actually a vest over top of a blue button down shirt. I’ve added the Lovely Spring Glasses to the look because I think the green of the frames match perfectly with the color of the pants and vest. Overall, I just think this is a really hip and cool look.

Here’s a look at my Grumpy Cat modeling the Springtime Trench:

The Springtime Trench costs 450 kinzcash, making it the most expensive item in the whole collection. The Springtime Trench is the only piece in the 2017 Spring Clothing Line that features the color pink. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so I’m loving the flowers on this trench coat and the matching pink belt.

To play up the pink in the Springtime Trench, I paired it with a pair of Designer High Heels, which are a prize you can buy at the Spree Mall. (Get to the Spree Mall even faster when you purchase bonus turns at the Ganz eStore!)

Now we’ll take a look at my Black Panther Muerta modeling a fresh look for a warm spring day:

The Pretty Bow Flats are another one of my favorite items in this line. They’re very versatile, and I am sure I’ll be pairing them up with lots of different outfits from all sorts of collections. To keep the look light and airy, I paired up the Lightly Layered Skirt with the Basic White Tank Top (a piece from the “PJ Collie gets back to basics” collection). I love the swirling designs on the Lightly Layered Skirt and the wide range of blues. Of course I had to add the Floral Headband for an extra girlie touch!

So speaking of many shades of blue, let’s take a look at the Spring Gradient Tee:

The Spring Gradient Tee is being modeled here by Sadie, my mocha pup. I decided to give Sadie an outdoorsy look, like she’s ready to go on a nice spring hike. Besides just being pretty, I like the Spring Gradient Tee because of the little details, like the collar and the button on the front. The sleeves are puffed, so you could use this shirt to create a much dressier outfit if you wanted to.

The shorts are Cuff Chinos, which were a prize in the August Deluxe Gift Box. I also added some Blue Camo Sneakers so Sadie can play outdoors and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. 🙂 The Blue Camo Sneakers came in the June Deluxe Gift Box. If you’re into collecting clothes like I am, then you’ll love the monthly Deluxe Gift Boxes. Each one features a special piece of clothing you can’t get anywhere else. In fact, they’re so exclusive that you can’t even buy them in the eStore!

If you find yourself jumping through mud puddles after a spring shower, then you’ll want a pair of the Blue Gumboots:

I decided to have my Black Panther model the Blue Gumboots by themselves so you can see all of the great details. For instance, I really like the strap with the gold buckle at the top. As you can see, the soles are very rugged, which is a bit different than the way the boots are pictured in the Kinzstyle Outlet. These Blue Gumboots would look really cute with the rain jacket and hat you can win in the 2017 Spring Mystery Clothing Bags.

Muerta is going to model for us one last time:

I brought back the Basic White Tank Top to put together the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts and the Paisley Newsboy. (The Paisley Newsboy is only available to Deluxe members.) These shorts and this hat are obviously a perfect match, but each piece individually is also great. A lot of attention to detail went into creating this paisley pattern. With all these shades of blue, I bet the Dark Blue Paisley Shorts would look good with the Spring Gradient Tee as well. I finished off the look with the Pretty Bow Flats because I love how fresh and clean the white accessories make the outfit feel.

Last but certainly not least, we’ve got Taffy, my Ribbon Yorkie, modeling the Cinched Sweater:

The Cinched Sweater costs 400 kinzcash, making it the second most expensive item in the collection. I love the striped/swirly belt that “cinches” the waist of the sweater, and the fluffy cuffs and matching fluffy hem make this sweater feel more dressy than the other very casual items in the 2017 Spring Line. I mixed and matched a lot with Taffy’s outfit, combining the Plain Black Skirt with some very dressy Pearl Sandals (sometimes available at the Ganz eStore). Once again, the Floral Headband is a perfect match. I really love how these greens and blues coordinate – these colors make it so easy to put together great outfits!

Well, that’s the whole 2017 Spring Clothing Line! 🙂 What’s your favorite item? Which items are you planning to buy? Let me know in the comments, and I’ll send you an item from the 2017 spring collection via Kinzpost!

Wish Factory Prizes: Letters R and S

Hello my Webkinz friends! I’m back with a look at a couple more prizes in the Wish Factory. These are the more expensive items – not the ones you get when you adopt a new pet and the ones that max out at 15 tokens.

We’ve been working out way through the alphabet, and now we’re up to the Letter R (there’s no items starting with P or Q). The Letter R brings us to Raziel’s Slide, which costs 300 tokens.

Raziel is a dragon that lives in the caves underneath Adventure Park. You encounter Raziel when completing certain Adventure Park quests.

Raziel’s Slide was an item you could win during a mega collection event way back in 2013. It’s an interactive item – your pet can slide down it:

Here is another picture of Raziel’s slide so you can see its size in relation to other slides:

Let’s move along to Letter S. There’s only one item beginning with Letter S, and that’s the Sport Soaker Tub:

The Sport Soaker Tub costs 100 tokens. It was a prize you could earn during a collection event called “I Love My Webkinz.” This collection event featured other items you can use to keep your pet happy and healthy, such as a treadmill and a blender. These items were helping to lead the way for the transition into “Webkinz X,” which is the version you’re now playing (family scores, filling hearts, etc).

As you probably guessed, you can use the Sport Soaker Tub to give your pet a bath:

The Water Treadmill, which I’ll talk about in the future, was also part of the heart collection event. Both items fit very well with a fitness theme and would look great in a gym-themed room.

That’s all for Letters R and S. Are you planning to save up for Raziel’s Slide or the Sport Soaker Tub? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Want to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day? It’s one of the perks of a Deluxe Membership! Deluxe Memberships are available exclusively at the Ganz eStore.

A Closer Look: Trapdoor

Today I’m going to take a closer look at the last of the three new Exclusive Items that were recently added to the Wish Factory. We’ve already seen the Messy Room Floor Tile and the Salad Bar Fridge, so today we’re going to check out the Trapdoor.

The Trapdoor, like the other two new Exclusive Items, costs 15 tokens. It looks like a wooden door with a metal ring for a handle and a ladder inside leading down:

To me the Trapdoor has a farmhouse feel to it. I think it works well with wood flooring, and the ladder made me think of the Jumbleberry themed rooms you can make with prizes from Jumbleberry Fields.

Here’s the Trapdoor in one of my Jumbleberry rooms. This room, which is still a work in progress, is a kitchen for making jam. (If you like the Jumbleberry room items, you can fill your jars faster by purchasing berry seeds in the Ganz eStore!)

The Trapdoor is interactive, but not in the way that you expect. Instead of providing storage for clothes or food, the Trapdoor “transports” you to a map of all your rooms. Take a look at what I mean:

So what do you think of the Trapdoor? Do you like this interactive feature? Which of these new Exclusive Items is your favorite? Let me know in the comments for a prize via Kinzpost! One lucky commenter just might get an Exclusive Item!

And if you want to earn extra Wish Tokens, take a look at a Deluxe Membership for a daily spin on the Wheel of Wishes! From now until March 24th, Deluxe Memberships are 25% off and come with a free pet, the Sheltie Puppy!

The Great Trophy Chase: Zingoz Pop

Zingoz Pop is all about matching colors and popping bubbles. It’s a simple game, and  you can earn lots of kinzcash by playing it. Here’s my overview of Zingoz Pop, as well as some tips for playing the game.

First, and this is very important, if you want to win the trophy, you have to play in “normal” mode. You cannot win the trophy in “easy” mode. Easy mode only has 10 levels. Normal mode has 30 levels, and you must pass all 30 levels to win the trophy.

If you need to get more familiar with the game and get a feel for how you can bounce the bubbles off of the wall, spend some time playing in easy mode.

At the beginning of each level in easy mode, you’ll get a yellow line that shows you exactly where your bubble is going to go when you shoot it. Sometimes in order to make the most efficient moves, you need to bounce a bubble off one of the side walls. Using the line guide to practice will help you learn how the bounces work.

So what is Zingoz Pop all about?

The basic idea behind Zingoz pop is simple. You start with a formation of colored bubbles. As time goes by, the bubbles slowly descend downward. You must clear (or pop) all of the bubbles before they pass the “game over” line near the bottom of the screen.

In order to clear bubbles, you must group bubbles of the same color together. Connect three or more bubbles of the same color, and the bubbles will “burst” or “pop,” clearing them from the board.

Bubbles are shot out of a cannon at the bottom of the screen. You use your arrow keys to move the cannon left and right.

You’ll notice a colored ball on the cannon – that tells you what color the NEXT bubble will be, so in order to plan your moves you must remember the color one move in advance.

Don’t worry, though. This isn’t as tricky as it may sound. Once you’ve played Zingoz Pop a few times you’ll get the hang of it.

At the beginning of the game, you’ll be given the chance to choose one of four boosters.

Each booster does something special that will help you clear the board faster.

In order to earn a booster, you must clear a group of sparkling bubbles.

Sparkling bubbles look like this:

Sparkling bubbles appear randomly, and lose their sparkle after a few seconds. Once the sparkle is gone, so is your chance to earn a booster!

My favorite booster is the Burst Bubble, the one that looks like a rainbow.

The Burst Bubble’s special power is to clear all of the bubbles of the same color. For example, if you use your Burst Bubble to hit a yellow bubble, all of the yellow bubbles will disappear.

Here’s the Burst Bubble in action:

There’s also the Bowling Ball, which really does look like a bowling ball.

This booster will allow you to blast through a line of bubbles. The Bowling Ball can be a big help if you’re stuck in a jam, particularly if your bubbles are getting really close to the “game over” line.

Take a look at the Bowling Ball being used in game play:

Now let’s talk about the Super Bubble.The Super Bubble is the one with the star.

This booster pops all the bubbles it touches. I also think the Super Bubble is good for quickly getting out of a sticky situation.

Here’s how the Super Bubble works:

Last is the Line Guide. The Line Guide is the same  yellow line that you get at the very beginning of the game.

It guides you in pointing the cannon the right direction in order to get your bubble to land in a certain spot. The Line Guide is my least favorite booster because it won’t get you out of a jam or clear a lot of bubbles instantly. Everything the Line Guide does is something you can learn on your own with a bit of practice.

The Line Guide looks like this:

One interesting thing about Zingoz Pop is that the levels don’t necessarily get progressively hard as the game goes on. Same of the later levels are actually pretty easy, while some of the earlier levels are quite challenging. Each level is different and presents a unique challenge. There’s a lot of skill involved in Zingoz Pop, but unfortunately, there’s an element of luck, too. Sometimes you just don’t get the colors you need in order to make it work.

Zingoz Pop is a game that most anyone can master with time and practice. Levels that use to really stump me now seem easy, but I’m still a long way from the trophy. So far I’ve only made it to level 16. Level 7 is still a tough one for me, and I usually lose at least one life on Level 7.

Currently Zingoz Pop is only for Deluxe members. If you want to play Zingoz Pop and other Deluxe only games, you can check out the different Deluxe Membership options at the Ganz eStore. Deluxe Memberships come with lots of perks and free gifts.
