'''Webkinz Site Tour 2008''' is the Flashpoint Archive's title for a Flash presentation that introduced [[Webkinz]] to newcomers. The year is in Flashpoint's title only; the files carry no date. It is the one preserved file set in which the site describes itself, and most of what this wiki says about the world outside the [[Arcade]] comes from it.<br />
<br />
== Parts ==<br />
The tour is kept as a main file, <code>siteTour.swf</code>, twelve numbered parts and a text file, <code>siteTour.xml</code>, that holds the English wording.<ref name="game-183a12704f">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/siteTour.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-5679195be6">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/XML/L10N/US_EN/siteTour.xml</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref> The file names of the parts give their subjects: introduction, adopt center, pet's room, close up, things to do, arcade, activities, Webkinz Newz, friends list, Kinz chat, collection and ending.<ref name="game-4a15e98f8c">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/1_introduction.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-eab6a13706">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/2_adopt_center.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-56b87684fd">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/8_webkinz_newz.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-cf17304e67">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/12_ending.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><br />
<br />
== What it says ==<br />
The tour calls Webkinz World "The exciting online experience where your plush pet comes to life".<ref name="game-5679195be6" /> It begins with a Webkinz or Lil'Kinz plush toy, whose Secret Code lets the owner adopt the pet online, choosing its name and saying whether it is a boy or a girl.<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-5679195be6" /> The new owner is shown the pet's room and starts with 2000 [[KinzCash]] for redecorating it and for furniture, clothes and food from the W Shop.<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-5679195be6" /> The pet has Happy, Health and Hunger meters, kept high by playing with it, feeding it and exercising it daily.<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><br />
<br />
The tour then lists things to do: Quizzy's Question Corner, the Arcade, "daily activities, weekly contests, and all kinds of surprises", visits from friends, games against them in the [[Tournament Arena]], and KinzChat.<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-5679195be6" /> It ends by urging the viewer to collect more pets and to "Be a part of Webkinz World".<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><br />
<br />
== Two wordings ==<br />
The closing line exists in two versions. The text file describes Webkinz World as "a friendly, educational and fun online community", while the ending part whose file name ends in <code>_hacked</code> has "a safe, educational and fun online community".<ref name="game-5679195be6" /><ref name="game-78d8433970">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/12_ending_hacked.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref> The files do not say which came first. Each part is kept twice, once under its plain name and once with <code>_hacked</code> added; the second copy has the English sentences inside it.<ref name="game-48d538b144">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/TOUR/6_arcade_hacked.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><br />
<br />
The text file also holds the labels of an adoption form shown in the tour; see [[Adoption Center]].<br />
