Funkey Fever is spreading all over the world!

Or at least in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand! Does anyone think UB Funkeys will become as big as Webkinz? This blog is getting hits from all over and the Funkeys appear to be flying off the shelves. However, none of my friends and neighbors here in Northern Va. (outside of DC) have heard of them yet. I think it's just a matter of time!

Thanks to Karl in New Zealand, I have one of my questions answered about the hidden alligator, and I have learned of a new code that will give you 5 new wall hangings and 75 coins. I feel bad hyping about Funkiki Island when he can't get it yet over there (sorry!), it seems almost cruel!

Karl has been compiling a list of Funkey data as well on his website: http://www.kiwireviews.co.nz

The Hidden Alligator
After you buy a smelly pet bed, take it out of your stuff and put it in your crib. Then you go to the sewer grate on the far side of Funkeystown and click on the sewer grate to toss in a coin to make a wish!

(note: this is another case when not finding what you are looking for at the mart, "Funkey's Best Friend" for the smelly pet bed, step out and right back in again to see a different selection)

New Code

sproutarboretum852

This came from the Pink hub starter kit from the store Limited TOO, and when you enter the code in "Options" at the main menu, you get 5 new wall hangings and 75 coins. You can do that for each of your logins.

BUT the big question still remains............WHAT IS THE RED BUTTON FOR IN LAPUTA STATION?

Does anyone know the answer to this?
Right now it appears that we'll need to finish the game before we'll find the answer!

Post your guess on the Funkey Fan Forum

More Facts and tips

* If you don't see what you wanted to buy in one of the virtual Funkey marts, just leave the mart and come immediately right back in. There is usually a different selection, sometimes an item is added. Most of the time there will be more color selections.
I also heard that the rare Funkeys have different items to choose when they go to a mart, but I haven't confirmed that myself.

*When you are walking around Magma Gorge, click on the white things sticking up from the ground. Similarly, in Laputa Station, click on the junk.

* Get 50 extra coins by entering this code: iluvfunkeys345
Enter it under "options" on the same screen where you choose "login". The code comes from the UBFunkeys website under "Downloads/codes & tips"



These were just some random things that I wanted to add to my previous posts.

Some U.B. Funkey Facts

I thought I'd list a few quick answers to the questions so many people are asking...........


What is a U.B. Funkey?
U.B. is the hub, and the fun-loving creatures that link up to it are the Funkeys. It is a virtual world (similar to the Webkinz idea) where the Funkeys explore and play mini-games in different zones. They win coins for playing the games, and trophys and other items for high scores. The coins are used for purchasing items to decorate their "cribs". Can more than one user share the U.B. hub? Yes, we know that at least 5 players can create login names, although only one player at time can play.

How do I avoid the henchmen?
A hoodwink will protect your coins from the henchmen. But if you don't have a hoodwink, if you have alot of coins and really need to avoid him, you can quit the game real quick! Or exit to your crib. However, sometimes he's still out there waiting. But I did find one time after I waited a while & came back, the coast was clear. If he does get you, click on the button as fast as you can and you won't loose as many coins. However, if your coins are on the low end, the button pushing doesn't seem to make a difference.

How I do get a hoodwink?
As your Funkey is exploring in one of the zones, you will come across a small spark-looking object. It starts as little bubbles coming out of the ground and then turns to a sparkle. Click on it and you will have a hoodwink.

Which Funkeys are Rare and Very Rare?
There is a book in the Terrapinia library located in Funkeystown that lists all the Funkeys. After you select one, you'll see them pictured in order of normal, rare, and very rare.

Which Funkeys unlock each of the zones?

Magma Gorge: Wasabi, Stitch, Deuce, and Bones

Laputa Station: Vroom, Boggle, Xener, and Fallout

Kelpy Basin: Glub, Sprout, Tiki, and Twinx

Funkiki Island: Nibble, Flurry, Webley, and Sol

Funkeystown mini-games& mart: Lotus and Scratch


UPDATE on 3/22/08: You can find more on the Rare Funkeys on my other blog . And the glitch that is posted in the comment section is now fixed, so unfortunately that trick doesn't work for us anymore.
