A Closer Look at 2018 White Chocolate Egg Prizes

I’m so excited! The 2018 White Chocolate Eggs have arrived in the Ganz eStore!

gbx1423_Carton_of_2018_White_Chocolate_Eggs_240

There are 8 different prizes you can win from this year’s white chocolate eggs, plus the Grand Prize, which is the Weathered Stone Cottage:

2018 white choc egg prizes

You can either purchase a carton of white chocolate eggs (a carton contains 6 eggs) for 5,000 eStore points or a single white chocolate egg for 2,500 eStore points.

I bought a couple of cartons this afternoon, and I love the prizes I won. I decided to make a short video showing the prizes I got as I “unboxed” the 12 eggs:

One thing you’ll notice about the prizes in the 2018 White Chocolate Eggs is that they coordinate with the prizes in the Chocolate Eggs that you can collect during Spring Celebration in Webkinz World that runs from March 23rd to April 1st.

For example, the Dragon Fly Wall Art and the Butterfly Wall Art match perfectly. The two decorations would look awesome together – maybe a flower themed room or a room with lots of purple and turquoise furniture.

I was lucky enough to win a Butterfly Wall Art prize from one of the white chocolate eggs I fed my pet:

butterfly wall art 2

The Butterfly Wall Art has such a realistic look to it. You can really see the glint of the beads that decorate the wire wings, and I like how the butterfly has dimension and folds away from the wall.

I’m not sure where the Butterfly Wall Art will go yet, but here’s a look at in a Year 10 Anniversary room. I probably wouldn’t leave it here, but the colors do go well together:

butterfly wall art

Speaking of butterflies, I simply adore the Playful Butterfly prize! The Playful Butterfly is an animated item and features butterflies that flutter in the air.

It wasn’t until I looked at the item in my dock that I realized that the Playful Butterfly actually has 4 different looks depending on which way the item is turned. The number and color of the butterflies changes:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(14)

I’m really excited about using the Playful Butterflies in the butterfly garden room that I’ve been working on.

You probably noticed the stream on the left side next to the Playful Butterflies. I built that stream out of the Fresh Water Stream Tiles. You can win straight and curved tiles:

fresh water stream tiles 2

The Fresh Water Stream Tiles have such a vibrant, spring feel. The blue of the water is like the clear skies, and little white spring flowers are growing along the banks with some rocks and willows.

If you like the the Creepy Creek Tiles from the Freaky Forest Theme, then you’re really going to love the Fresh Water Stream Tiles.

creepy creek tiles

You can always count on lots of different types of flowers being awarded during these chocolate egg events in Webkinz World. This year is no exception! When you feed your pet a 2018 White Chocolate Egg you could win one of three colors of Wild Rose Bushes: pink, blue and white.

wild rose bush

These rose bushes are full of brightly colored blossoms and would make a great addition to any garden. As you can see in the picture below, the Wild Rose Bushes are quite a bit taller than the other flowers that you can win during the Spring Celebration:

wild rose bush size

I still haven’t won a Spring Chick Plushy, so the last prize I have to show you today is the Iron Wood Side Table:

iron wood side table

The Iron Wood Side Table is a cute match with the Iron Wood Watering Can:

iron wood table with watering can

I’ll probably put my Iron Wood Side Table in an outdoors room to create the look that my pet is working on their garden. But, the table does look good in an indoor room as well, such as the farmhouse room I’ve been building from Jumbleberry Fields prizes:

What is your favorite prize from the 2018 White Chocolate Eggs? Let me know in the comments!

 

Thank you for your patience!

I’m off to a slow start with my January blogging. 😦 I finally have some extra time today, though, so I am going to get caught up with sending out prizes!

coollogo_com-84221802(1)

Thank you for being patient while I balance my Webkinz World life with my grownup life. 🙂

A Closer Look: 2018 Winterfest Cookie Prizes

winterfst word

Winterfest is well underway in Webkinz World, and if you’re like me, you’ve already collected quite a few of this year’s Winterfest prizes.

3-Snowflakes-1

One way to win 2018 Webkinz Winterfest prizes is to catch the falling snowflakes that randomly appear on the screen while you’re playing (you get two extra prizes per day if you’re Deluxe).

Another way to get a whole different set of prizes is to feed your pet 2018 Winterfest Cookies. These cookies are only available at the Ganz eStore. You can buy one individually or buy a pack of 3 or a pack of 6.

Winter-COOKIES

Today I want to take a closer look at the 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes. I hope this will help you decide if you might like to buy some of the cookies and maybe give you a couple of ideas about how you can use the prizes.  🙂

coollogo_com-23811873

There are 12 prizes and 1 Grand Prize you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The prizes are awarded randomly.

Here’s a list of the 12 different prizes you can win:

  1. Winterfest ski goggles
  2. White hockey helmet
  3. Boys figure skates
  4. Chalet chair
  5. Winterfest skis
  6. Snow covered maple tree
  7. Hockey net
  8. Chalet ski rack
  9. Arctic fox cub plushy
  10. Chalet column
  11. Expert ski slope
  12. Ski lift sofa

The Grand Prize is the Ski Slopes Wallpaper. (I was lucky enough to win one of these wallpapers.) Since it’s wallpaper, you can only use it in an indoor room. It’s one of the special “room with a view” type of wallpapers that creates a multidimensional look. (The Ganz eStore has a few others like it.)

Here’s how the Ski Slopes Wallpaper looks in your pet’s room – I paired it with the First Snow Flooring that you can buy at the WShop for 150 kinzcash:

ski slopes wallpaper

I think the Ski Slopes Wallpaper is pretty awesome. It’s the perfect match for the ski slope and expert ski slope prizes.

Speaking of ski slopes, let’s take a look at the two different types you can win during Winterfest.

By catching a falling snowflake, you have a chance to win a ski slope. If you haven’t already tried out the ski slope in a room, you definitely should! It’s a fun interactive item that actually allows  your pet to ski down a small hill:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(8)

(Doesn’t Audrey – my Blue Persian – look so cute in her skating outfit?)

When you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie you have a chance of winning an Expert Ski Slope. This item is also interactive. It’s taller than the ski slope and has three “turns”:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(9)

Here’s a little something I put together to see what it looks like when you combine the different slopes into one awesome skiing experience for your pet:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(7)

As you can kind of see from the gif above, I’ve been having some fun piecing together my Winterfest Cookie prizes and creating an outdoor ski scene.

In the pic below, you’ll see the Ski Lift Sofa as well as the Snow Covered Maple Tree. I’ve also incorporated a few of the falling snowflake prizes:

ski slopes room

Later I added those adorable bunnies and a couple of arctic fox cub plushies to the scene. They are just SOOOO cute! 🙂

arctic fox plushy and bunny plushies

So what does your pet want to do after all that skiing? Warm up in a cozy ski chalet, of course!

Lucky for you and your pet, you can win chalet wallpaper and flooring from this year’s Winterfest Challenge:

chalet empty

One of the coolest additions to any ski chalet is the Chalet Column you can win when you feed your pet a 2018 Winterfest Cookie. The Chalet Column can be turned to show off one of four different looks, so it’s really versatile:

In addition to the plain chalet column, there’s a look with vintage snow shoes:

column side 1

A look featuring real working Christmas lights:

column side 2

And a look with a glowing lantern:

column side 3

Here is a room I put together by adding the Chalet Ski Rack, Chalet Chair and the Chalet Columns along with some other Winterfest prizes – it’s a bit empty and still needs lots of work, but this will give you an idea of how some of the pieces look in a room:

ski chalet with prizes

The 2018 Winterfest Cookie prizes also include clothing items. Specifically, you can win Winterfest Ski Goggles, Winterfest Skis, a White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates.

The Winterfest Ski Goggles and Winterfest Skis actually look very similar to the ones you can win from the falling snowflakes. The only real difference is in the colors.

The snowflake prizes are a white, purple and blue color combination:

regular skis and ski goggles

While the Winterfest Cookie prizes are more of a neon/electric blue and green:

winterfest skis and ski goggles

There’s a couple more prizes I want to look at before I wrap up this post. What would winter be without hockey? 🙂

First, get your pet dressed in their hockey gear – this is Vint, my Mohawk Puppy wearing a Red Team Snow Suit from last year’s Winterfest along with the White Hockey Helmet and Boys Figure Skates from this year:

boys figure skates with hockey helmet

I just love the way Vint looks wearing his ski  helmet – too cute!

hockey helmet pic

Once your pet is dressed for hockey, it’s time for them to get out on the ice. Here I used some of this year’s prizes – like the Skating Rink Floor Tile and the Skating Rink Edge Piece – along with the Hockey Net from the Winterfest Cookies to start building an outdoor hockey rink:

hockey rink

What do you think of this year’s Winterfest prizes? Which of the Winterfest Cookie prizes is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! I’ll be sending out Winterfest gifts, and I just might give away some Winterfest Cookie prizes, too! (Make sure I know your username and be sure to friend me on Webkinz.)

P.S. Here’s a really quick video I did when I “unboxed” my 2018 Winterfest Cookies:

A Closer Look: New Jumbleberry Fields Prizes

Jumbleberryfields1

Today we’re going to take a closer look at the new prizes added to Jumbleberry Fields in honor of the 2017 Berry Fest. There are a total of 7 new prizes you can earn by filling up your jars.

Jars-Filled

I’ve been saving up my berries for quite a while now, and I was lucky to have full jars to trade in for these new prizes. It can take a long time to fill your jars, especially with moonberries, so I think it’s good to see what these new prizes look like and how they function when you add them to your pet’s room.

swirl_110_orig

jumbleberry

Let’s start with jumbleberries. The two new jumblerry prizes are the Farm House Shelf and the Bundle of Pickleberries.

farmhouse-shelf

The Farm House Shelf matches with the new “Farm House” theme that has been introduced into the Jumbleberry Fields prizes. (We’ve already seen the “Country Kitchen” theme, which included wallpaper, flooring, windows and even place settings.)

farm house shelf

I love all the details in the Farm House Shelf, like the red and white towel hanging on the bottom and the jars of preserves on the shelf. It’s a perfect addition to any kitchen, especially a jam making kitchen.

bundle of pickleberries

Here’s a look at the Bundle of Pickleberries lined up in a berry themed kitchen:

bundle of pickleberries 2

The Bundle of Pickleberries completes the set of berry bundles, as we’ve already had the jumbleberry, sugary berry and moonberry bundles to choose from and add to our rooms.

swirl_110_orig

120px-Sugarberry

Next up we’ll check out the sugarberry prizes. The new sugarberry prizes are the Farm House Flooring and the Farm House Wallpaper. I love the wood and stone look of the Farm House Flooring and Wallpaper.

farmhouse wallpaper

The Farm House Flooring and Wallpaper coordinate with chocolate colored wood, greyish brown wood and dark grey/brown stones in all different shapes and sizes.

farmhouse flooring

As you can, the two match each other very nicely:

bare farmhouse

swirl_110_orig

pickleberry

Now let’s take a look at the pickleberry prizes. We’ve got another addition to the “Farm House” theme with the Farm House Window, and there’s also the Berry Farm Stand.

farmhouse window

I’m going to want to collect a few of the Farm House Windows to complete my Farm House room. The Farm House Window has a nice view of a tall wheat field with green trees off in the distance:

farm house window

The other pickleberry prize is the Berry Farm Stand.

berry farm stand

The Berry Farm Stand is a beautiful dark wood and features the Jumbleberry Fields logo:

berry farm stand front

The Berry Farm Stand matches really well with prizes like the Fresh Pie Stand and the Jumbleberry Fields Sign. I’ve used some of these prizes to create a berry farm complete with places to sit, fresh berries to buy and other fun activities fit for a day at the farm:

jumbleberry farms

swirl_110_orig

moonberry

Last up is the moonberry jar’s new prize, which is the Farm House Cabinet.

farm house cabinet

I’m sure you’ve caught onto the pattern by now. 🙂 The Farm House Cabinet is made out of the same grey toned wood to match with the other Farm House prizes. It’s actually a dresser that holds 12 clothing items:

So, if you put all the new prizes together, you get something like this:

If you love Jumbleberry Fields, the Ganz eStore offers a couple of different ways to enhance your game play. You can buy seeds to grow all four types of berries in your pet’s garden. These berry seed packets are available in the Ganz eStore for purchase with eStore points.

You can also purchase “Bonus Plays” right from the game itself. Use your eStore points to buy 1 Bonus Play or 3 Bonus Plays:

Speaking of the eStore and berries, there are also lots of really cool items you purchase with eStore points to design and build an awesome Jumbleberry Fields room or farm.

Here’s a few examples:

These items are available for Berry Fest, but they may not last for long, so check it out while you have the chance.

Webkinz Berry Fest 2017 Prizes

Berry Fest 2017 kicked off today, and I’m already having “berry much” fun! 🙂 I’m loving this year’s Berry Fest prizes, and it’s great that floaty clicky prizes are back in the rooms and arcade. It makes it sooo much easier to collect all of the day’ prizes.

If you’ve been on Webkinz today, or remember Berry Fest activities from the past, then you know that there are 6 kinds of berries you’ll find floating around Webkinz World:

Berry-Festival-Berries

But…the REAL stars of the show are the Goo Goo Berry and the Polarberry. Why? Because feeding one of these types of berries to your pet will earn you a special prize.

There are two different sets of prizes, but they’re basically the same – just swap out one berry type for the other.

Here’s a picture of the Goo Goo Berry prizes from Webkinz Newz:

Goo-Goo-Berry-Prizes

And here’s a look at this year’s Polarberry prizes:

Polarberry-Prizes

As you can see, the prizes are divided into three categories: common, uncommon and rare, which means that you’ll win more of the ice cream cone than you will the car.

I’ve had great luck so far this morning, and I’ve got 3 Goo Goo Berry Cars total. The only prize I don’t have yet is the Polarberry Car.

If you’re wondering how I could have already won so many prizes, it’s because I’ve saved up my Goo Goo Berries and Polarberries from previous years. I like to keep my “special” foods and store them in rooms filled with refrigerators, like this:

fridge food room

This morning I went searching through my refrigerators and found plenty of both kinds of berries stored away:

dock and berries

Let’s take a look at some of the prizes you can win when you feed your pet a Goo Goo Berry or Polarberry during Berry Fest!

First are the preserves…these are fun because you can rotate them and get four different looks:

Here are the 4 ways you can display the Polarberry Preserves:

ezgif.com-crop(3)

And here are the 4 ways to display the Goo Goo Berry Preserves:

ezgif.com-gif-maker(4)

googooberrypreserves

Next is the chairs, which have a cute country/farmhouse look to them:

berry chairs

berry chairs 2

You can see that these wooden chairs are adorned with a cushion, and the cushion is decorated with either Goo Goo Berries or Polarberries.

Last up is the Goo Goo Berry Car (I’ll update my post when I finally get a Polarberry car). Take a look at this gif to see what the Goo Goo Berry Car looks like when your pet rides inside (notice the window on the back!):

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.

baking

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.

baking stuff

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!):

Bake-Sale-BAKED-GOODS

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!)

oven

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?

baking mitt

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:

blueberry prize pie grand pie

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

blue berry prize pie estore

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:

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(33)

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(34)

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:

mega modern carpet design 1

mega modern carpet design 2

(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:

campkinz lake tile

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

yacht on the ocean

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:

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! 🙂

Wish Factory Prizes: Letter W

Well, here we are – at the end of the list! We’ve made it all the way to Letter W, and that leaves us with five Wish Factory prizes left to look at.

letter w

First up for Letter W is the Water Tower Chair for 100 Wish Tokens:

water tower chair

The Water Tower Chair, like the Moolah Mountain Window and Flowing Ribbons Four Post Bed, is a prize from Mazin’ Hamsters. Now that the Mazin’ Hamsters area of Webkinz World has been retired, Ganz is making some of these items available again by putting them in the Wish Factory.

As you can see, the Water Tower Chair looks like a barrel of water sitting on top of a tall wooden platform:

water tower chair 2

Because it’s a chair, your pet can sit in this item:

water tower chair 3

The Water Tower Chair is an unusual item, but it’s one that I’ve been able to use in a few room designs. For example, here is a Water Tower Chair in a “Carrot Paradise” room:

water tower chair 4

Up next is another water-related item, the Water Treadmill:

water treadmill

The Water Treadmill, which costs 100 Tokens, was a prize available during a collection event leading up to the release of Webkinz X. The Sport Soaker Tub, which we’ve already looked at, was part of this same collection event.

I like the Water Treadmill because it has such a high tech look to it. It’s so different from the plain blue treadmill you can buy in the WShop.

water treadmill 2

The Water Treadmill is also very useful. Give your pet a workout on this piece of gym equipment, and you’ll help fill their heart!

ezgif.com-video-to-gif(5)

Now let’s take a look at the oh-so-cute White Chocolate Fountain:

white chocolate fountain

The White Chocolate Fountain costs 100 Tokens. It was first available as a prize you could earn by playing Webkinz Friends. A few other prizes in the Wish Factory were originally from Webkinz Friends, like the Giant Rafflesia Plant and Millie’s Slide. Webkinz Friends, as I’ve mentioned before, was a Facebook game where you interacted with other Facebook players to build up your own Webkinz town. The game has since been retired.

white chocolate 2

I really like the White Chocolate Fountain because of it’s sweet pink colors, and it just looks so yummy! 🙂 I was lucky to be able to trade for a White Chocolate Fountain in the Trading Room. The White Chocolate Fountain is for decoration only. It’s not interactive or animated.

Our next prize is another throwback to the days of Mazin’ Hamsters. It’s Willow’s Tree, and it costs 100 Wish Tokens:

willows tree

As you can see, Willow’s Tree is actually a willow tree, but it’s special because the front of the tree is decorate with a golden hamster face. You can turn your Willow’s Tree in all four directions to get different looks.

willows tree 2

During my years of playing Mazin’ Hamsters I was able to collect quite a few Willow’s Trees. Here’s a garden I made using some of them:

willows tree

 Last up in our list of Wish Factory prizes is the Wooden Garden Archway for 150 tokens:

wooden garden archway

I have a Wooden Garden Archway, but I just can’t seem to find it anywhere! Look closely and you can see that there are potted flowers at the base of the archway. It’s a really pretty item for any garden, but I think it would look especially nice in a Zen Garden or Japanese Garden.

Like many other items on this list, the Wooden Garden Archway was a Mazin’ Hamsters prize. I guess it just goes to show that you can never tell when an item is going to become extra valuable. 🙂

Now that we’ve looked at all of the special prizes that were added to the Wish Factory, do you know which one is your favorite? Are you saving up your tokens for one of these expensive items or do you prefer to buy the items that cost 10 or 15 tokens? Let me know in the comments for a chance to win an Exclusive Item through the Kinzpost!

Wish Factory Prizes: Letters M and O

I’m back with a look at a few more of the Wish Factory prizes that were added in addition to the Exclusive Items.

It’s been a while since these prizes were added, and since I started cataloging them, so let’s talk a minute about what makes them different. Exclusive Items are items you can get two ways – you are awarded an Exclusive Item each time you adopt a pet, and you can also buy Exclusive Items with Wish Tokens.

These newer prizes are a bit different. First, they require many more tokens to buy. Some of these newer prizes can cost as many as 300 tokens, whereas the Exclusive Items max out at 15 tokens.

Another difference is that these new items were once available to Webkinz players in different ways. For example, these might have been prizes in a Marshmallow Collection Event or maybe a prize you could earn by playing with your Mazin’ Hamster. Ganz added these prizes to the Wish Factory to give everyone a chance to earn these cool items.

So far we’ve gone through Letter G. Now we’ll skip ahead to Letter M (there aren’t new prizes that start with H, I, J, K or L.)

letter-m

First up is Millie’s Slide:

millies-slide

Millie’s Slide is a purple slide that costs 100 Wish Tokens.

millies-slide-3

Originally you could earn Millie’s Slide as a prize playing Webkinz Friends. Webkinz Friends, which I’ve mentioned before, was a Facebook game that involved building your own Webkinz town. Webkinz Friends doesn’t exist anymore, but some of the prizes pop up from time to time, such as this slide.

Millie’s Slide is interactive. Here’s a look at my pet playing on Millie’s Slide:

ezgif-com-video-to-gif22

Next up is the Moolah Mountain Window:

moolah-mountain-window

The Moolah Mountain Window was a prize from Mazin’ Hamsters. Moolah Mountain was a place in the Mazin’ Hamsters world where your hamster could roll down the mountain and collect coins to buy prizes. The window is shaped like a hamster and looks out onto Moolah Mountain.

Here’s a look at the Moolah Mountain Window in a pet’s room:

moolah-mountain-3

As you can see, I have a few of these collected from the days when Mazin’ Hamsters was still available – almost all of the items in this room are Mazin’ Hamsters prizes:

moolah-mountain-2

The Moolah Mountain Window is available in the Wish Factory for 100 tokens.

letter-o

Last for today is the Oak Tree Gazebo that costs 150 tokens.

oak-tree-gazebo

Like Millie’s Slide, the Oak Tree Gazebo was also a prize from Webkinz Friends. Your pet can sit on the chair that’s inside the Gazebo:

oak-tree-gazebo-3

That’s all for today. Next time we’ll look at Letters R and S!

If you want to earn these prizes faster, one way is to become a Deluxe member. Deluxe members now get to spin the Wheel of Wishes every day! Check out the Ganz eStore for more details on Deluxe memberships.

Webkinz Game: Cash Cow Gets a Makeover

In the latest round of updates, the Cash Cow game got a pretty serious makeover. Not only has the look of the game changed, but they’ve also changed how you win the Cash Cow trophy.

From the very opening screen you can see that Cash Cow has gotten a “facelift,” so to speak. Take a look at the old version of the opening screen:

old-opening-screen

Now take a look at the new opening screen for Cash Cow:

opening-screen

Once you start playing, you’ll notice more big differences. The color of the milk bottles has been changed. On levels 1 through 3 in “Normal” mode, the bottles are red, yellow and blue. Once you hit Level 4, green bottles are added. When you hit Level 8, orange bottles are added.

Here’s how the game play screen looked in the original Cash Cow:

old-game-play

Now here’s the new game play screen:

game-play

If you play the game in “Hard” mode, Level 1 starts off with red, yellow, blue and green. The orange bottles are added in Level 4.

So why are these orange bottles so important? Because orange bottles are now the key to winning a Cash Cow trophy.

In the past, the Cash Cow trophy was awarded randomly. In order to have a chance at winning the trophy, you had to clear a large group of milk bottles (all of the same color). Now, clearing a group of 10 orange bottles means you automatically get the trophy:

winning-trophy

If you win the trophy, you’ll see this message when you’re done playing the game:

cash-cow-trophy

The trophy itself looks the same as it always has. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the trophy I won yesterday next to a Cash Cow trophy I won a few years ago:

cash-cow-trophy-2

What do you think of these changes to Cash Cow? I really like the fact that the trophy is no longer random, and you know what to do in order to win one.

What are some of the other differences you’ve noticed between the original Cash Cow and this new, updated version? Let me know in the comments for a prize via Kinzpost!
