Halloween Events Have Begun in WW!

 I apologize in advance for my atrocious attempts at alliteration
So now that you have your pets clad in creepy costumes and your house in spooky splendor, it's time for more Halloween haunts for you and your Webkinz!

Participate in a chilling challenge: the Halloween 2012 Challenge is up! Go to your pet's room to begin the 3-part Challenge, which starts today and goes on until October 31! The grand prize isn't really a surprise--it's in the Challenge icon--it's the eStore Midnight Monster Golem!

Here are the prizes:

Stage 1: 50 KinzCash, Chocolate Tombstone to eat.

Stage 2: Slimesicle to eat, Bloodcurdling Bat Sticker to place on a wall

Stage 3: eStore Midnight Monster Golem furniture item.  Well that escalated quickly

At the same time, you can satisfy your cravings for candies with the Halloween Candy Challenge! On the Map to Kinzville, click on the Vampire Pop that should be there, next to the My Page button. Just for clicking on it, you get a piece of candy; then, ask your friends for more pieces! You can gain an additional piece from finding an advertisement on WKN, but that's giving out Fall Fest prizes right now so that's good luck for those who missed a few but not so much for those who'd rather get candies. You can only get 5 pieces of candy per day from friends...or buy them for 500 eStore points (50 cents) a pop instead. Either way, you're either out 5 days of asking and clicking, or 15,000 eStore points (15$).

Here are the milestones:
5 pieces of Candy gets you an edible Vampire Pop.
10 pieces of Candy gets you a Vampire Costume your pet can wear.
20 pieces of Candy gets you a Frightening Lightning Window, a retired Halloween item that can be placed on your wall.
30 pieces of Candy gets you a Haunted Hickory Sapling which you can plant in your yard and decorate. 

Then, check back in on October 20 in the Clubhouse for the Ghost! Same as it's been for years, just hang out in a Clubhouse room until the Ghost appears. Then, click on him and get a piece of candy! The Ghost will keep coming back until October 31. Collect all the pieces of candy he has to give you and get a special prize!
This year, the Ghost will exclusively appear in the Reading Room.

Ganz Introduces Two New Social Events...Part 1

Ganz has recently added the new "Collection Friend Events" in Webkinz World.

Read the WKN article here.
From May 9-31, 2012, players can play the first "Collection Friend Event".

On the Kinzville Map, you'll see a new gazebo, right next to the My Page icon. Click on that, and this will appear:

The way this works is that you ask your friends for flowers--you can ask 10 friends a day, but you can only get 5 flowers daily. You also get 1 free flower daily, and from May 10-31, you can get flowers from WKN. You can also buy them from the eStore.
"Why all the flowers?"
Because prizes.
Upon collecting...
10 Flowers------Bloomin' Comfy Chair
20 Flowers------Baby Buttercups Plant
40 Flowers------Lollipop Seeds
55 Flowers------Flourishing Tree and Flower Bed
75 Flowers------Grand Prize: Wildflower Gazebo

With the 5 Flower per day limit, if you want the grand prize, you need 15 days to get it. This means the latest you can start is May 17.
