Operation Gumball is a Flash code-breaking game from the Arcade of Webkinz. The player enters "shutdown codes" before a Bubble Gum Machine "kerplodes".[1]

How it is played

Numbers are entered with the number keys, and the Backspace key changes a guess.[1] Each guess is answered with gumballs. A green gumball means a correct digit in the right place and a red one a correct digit in the wrong place, in both cases without showing which digit is meant.[2][2] The game is over when time or guesses run out.[1] Fewer guesses and less time give a higher score.[1] The game's text mentions an Easy mode and a Normal mode.[2]

Two players

In the two-player mode the first to guess the code wins the round, and two rounds win the game.[1] The game's text labels this "Player vs Player - 2 Player Tournament".[2] A player who quits receives no KinzCash, and the one left behind is awarded "a portion of the Prize Money".[2][2] See Tournament Arena.

Rewards

The instructions give the rate as "1 for every 300 points you get", without naming the currency in the readable text, and say that a player who completes the game receives a trophy.[1][1] See KinzCash and Trophies and prizes. The files do not say who made the game or when.
