Currency of Webkinz World

KinzCash is the money of Webkinz World. A few files spell it "Kinzcash".

Getting and spending it

The site's tour for newcomers says that a new owner starts with 2000 KinzCash, to be used to redecorate the pet's room and to buy furniture, clothes and food for the pet from the W Shop. It names two ways of earning more: answering questions in Quizzy's Question Corner and playing in the Arcade. The files give no prices.

Rates in the Arcade

Each Arcade game turned points into KinzCash at its own rate, stated in its instructions, and showed the result on the closing screen under "KinzCash Awarded". The table gives every rate that can be read in the preserved files. Where the currency column says "not named", the readable text has only "1 for every" so many points.

The rates say nothing by themselves about which game paid best, since the games score points on very different scales. In four games (Candy Bash, Go Go Googles!, Tulip Trouble 2 and Bamboo Break) no rate can be read.

Other ways games paid

WebKinz Pool paid KinzCash for every ball sunk and added "Prize Money" at the end. The jigsaw paid on completion. In Wacky Zingoz Extreme each coin collected in flight was worth one KinzCash on top of the score. Picnic paid more on its harder settings.

Losing it

A player who quit a two-player game received nothing: "You have quit the game. You will receive no KinzCash." A score judged impossibly high was not submitted and earned nothing. If a game broke down, some games promised that "Your current score and KinzCash will be submitted".
