Hi friends! For the past few weeks, I’ve been meaning to host this contest, but the month has just about gotten away from me. To celebrate February 2018, a month of love and figure skating, I’m hosting a pet give away contest based on my favorite show, Yuri on Ice. The highly popular anime series was recently promoted on NBC during the winter Olympics in Pyeongchang when pairs skaters from Japan skated to the song, Yuri on Ice, in the team short program. You do NOT have to watch the series to participate in this contest (although it may be helpful).

Contest rules: Below is a crossword puzzle to solve based on the 11 trivia questions provided. The answers can all be found in the first season (12 episodes of Yuri on Ice). You may submit the answers in crossword puzzle format, or you may simply present the answer to each question in numbered format. The first person to correctly answer all 11 questions (with 100% accuracy) will win a code for a free pet. To enter, you must post your answers on this forum under the current open post, and you must be able to receive emails from Momskinz. The contest will remain open until the puzzle is solved or until February 28, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. EST, whichever occurs first.

Prize: The first person to correctly answer all 11 questions with 100% accuracy (spelling counts) will receive their choice of ONE free pet code. The winner may choose from these four Webkinz pets: a seasonal love kitten, a signature Siamese cat, a signature bull terrier, or a deluxe membership panda cub (virtual pet only, membership not included). The code will be forwarded to Momskinz, who will forward it to the winner.

If you have any questions, please ask! I will provide NO hints regarding the answers. However, if someone is close to solving the puzzle but without perfect accuracy, I will post that they are “close”. Let the game begin! 😀

You may need to click the link to see the crossword puzzle. The questions are posted below.

Up first, we have some mystery pet items. As with the most recent updates, we don’t have names on most of this stuff yet. ARGH! The first three items appear to be for the second Denim & Lace pet. (Scroll up to see the first pet, since zingy kindly uploaded that image last night!) No idea what pet goes with that brown box. The bottom row looks like PSFs, but for which pets, I have no idea.

Next begins the parade of estore items. No names yet on this adorable new theme of flamingo furniture. I’m so excited for this one!

Up next is more estore. The first three items are from the Cute Cozy mini theme, for which the names have been in the system for MONTHS, but now we finally have some images! Top row: Cute Cozy Couch, Cute Cozy Chair, Cute Cozy Wall Divider, a not-yet-named fl0ral hot air balloon. Bottom row: Purple Fl0ral Wardrobe, Purple Fl0ral Armchair, and a flooring and bed that do not yet possess names.

More estore! The first two items have a very Tail Towns feel to them. I think they’re incorporating the Tail Towns items into WW, because the Sweetheart Castle promo that was just in the estore was taken directly from Tail Towns. I obviously never played the game since it was on that face place I will never join, lol. Any Gymbonian out there who did play, and can confirm if these items are Tail Towns? Thanks in advance! The next two items are what looks to be an Easter jelly bean cart and a very odd shell car. Just how are you supposed to back up in this car? There’s no rear-view window! The bottom row is new seeds. First is an unnamed sorbet seeds and its food, and next is the orange tree seeds that I told you about months ago, and showed you last time. Why show you again? Because we finally have an image for the food from the plant, which is called Freshly Sliced Oranges.

Next is more estore. We have five unnamed Easter items and one unnamed cow hot air balloon that I stuck here because I had room.

And the last of the estore. No names for any of this yet, but it appears to be a greenhouse-garden type theme.

Up next is clothing. Some might be spring mystery, some might be spring KinzStyle Outlet, some might be estore, who knows?

And more clothing. Again, some might be mystery, etc. No names yet, so no clues yet lol.

Up next is some random newness. They don’t have names yet, but I’ve some some reasonably good guesses as to what we’re looking at. Top row is an Alyssa poster and FINALLY!, a green Alyssa fairy plushy. Next is one of May’s unique WKN items, which I’m guessing will be called the Emerald Mosaic Tile. Next is what looks to be a gardening apron, to which I say AWESOME! Bottom row is a dragonfly and butterfly which appear to be wall art, a Get Eleven Solitaire Trophy, so yeah, I think we can all guess what the next trophy challenge is!, and what looks to be a chick plushy.

More random newness. First is the next candy tree, which seems to be some sort of marshmallow flower, and this year’s Easter basket. Bottom row: it looks like the Mother’s Day gift bags will be back this year, because here’s a new bag, and what appears to be one of the items in it, a lovely blue and white dress.
