Smoothies Moves =
The new game Webkinz has is a total ripoff. In essence it LIES to the players (kids) and then STEALS money from them. In the instructions it clearly states that $1 will be paid for every 250 points. Period. There is nothing that says there is a point ceiling. **CAUTION** If your kids play this game be prepared to explain why they have been lied to and why the “promise” of a pay out is a lie. The ceiling for this game is about 90,000. DO NOT GO OVER OR YOUR HIGH SCORE WILL NOT BE RECORDED AND THE MONEY WILL NOT BE PAID. You will have wasted 30-40 minutes playing a game that will not pay off. Webkinz is lying and stealing from kids. If some do not achieve a high score they get mad so the game has been dumbed down to the point it is no challenge. In stead of encouraging kids to try harder they lower the standard. WHAT MESSAGE DOES THIS SEND?

if you go over 90,000 you won’t get anything and you just wasted 30-40 of your time.

Ya think! Yeah it’s unfair. It’s down right decietful. So when or if you play stop before your hit 90,000 points. Just stop and let it run out the rest of your lives. You will get paid somewhere around 300+ dollars. I’m testing the limit to see just where the cut-off is. 85,000 is still good.

It’s a glitch! Its not like they MEANT to not give out kc. Or they didn’t expect people to get to that level..

It’s no glitch! The message pops up that says you have exceeded the maximum allowed points. Your score will not be recorded and the money will not be awarded. THAT is a deliberate notice. My son achieved the high score for Goober’s Lab and Quizzies Challenge that (I think) caused them to dumb down those games. The notice came out very soon after he hit the high score, that they were changing the way high scores were handled. Goober’s Lab is now dumbed down to the point it is a joke, same goes for Quizzies Challenge. This site is suppossed to be kid friendly…Yeah right.

Hi TBSMom – are you new here?

Yes as of today. Webkinz really ticked me off the other day so I decided to spread the word. If there are enough complaints maybe they will lift this arbitrary ceiling, which IMO is stupid.

If u people actually knew why they are doing this…u should really not jump to conclusions…they are doing it cause of people using cheats to get such high scores…so they are using their workers to try to get the highest score as possible, and the highest score they get is the maximum they have possible…but they keep trying to get the score higher and higher…and to the poster of this post…ur being a little mean to ganz the one who is trying to have kids get high scores that are atleast possible getting there with out other people using cheats…and if anyone actually agrees with me they are doing it 4 a reson press… GANZ IS GOING IT FOR A REASON….thank u if u read this post 😀 …wow that was alot to type… 🙂 lol

i dont get this. it is probably a glitch, or sosmething. if not it is just a game!
14 TBSMom said,
August 24, 2008 @ 3:29 pm
Sorry Chinchillas, I do not agree. Just because their workers are incapable of achieving relatively high score is NO reason to put a cap on the high score without some kind of forwarning. A kid who sits there in good faith and plays the game and achieves a high score is bluntly told their score will not count and the money will not be awarded. Webkinz is still stealing from kids and lying to them. The instructions are clear. $1 will be awared for every 250 points. To not award the money because THEY cannot get a higher score is lame. Post it in the instructions that the cap is xxxx of points, but to just rip the kids off is inexcusable. Their reasoning or logic is full of holes. To say the only way to reach a high score is by cheating is a slap in the face.

I don’t understand why you say that it “steals from kids.” Please explain this! It is not clear!

i think she means that, kids play the game and get a really high score but they dont get the kinzcash they deserve
17 Chinchillas44556 said,
August 24, 2008 @ 4:03 pm
They are trying to get as high score as possible to see wat the maximum amout can be…as we go back to using CHEATES it would also be impossible 4 a kid with out suing cheates to beat that score! so cause they actually want to try to get kids to have a good score with out using CHEATS…and maybe they are still working on putting the maximum amout of points in the insturctions, but jsut cause ganz doesn’t make YOU happy doesn’t me u can complain to us about everything wrong… it makes me MAD! 😡 and it isn’t an excuse they are putting a maximum on the points…if u worked 4 ganz i beet u wouldn’t want ur website filled with cheats…and maybe they are only keeping it 4 a bit…untill they get rid of all the cheats…so then we can get a high score, and they don’t have to worry about cheats!

I know Ganz isn’t gonna just say “Oh lets be mean to the little kids” Besides its only a maybe a 100kc loss or something..
20 Flowiing (Blue Lava Collector) said,
August 24, 2008 @ 4:10 pm
Maybe since their workers can’t get higher than that, than they will have like a low score to get the trophy if they ever have one. =D Thats a plus.
21 Flowiing (Blue Lava Collector) said,
August 24, 2008 @ 4:11 pm
Forget the kinzcash, I’d rather have an easy to get trophy! lol

The squeeky wheel gets the oil. If wrongs aren’t brought to light they will never be corrected. I can and will complain about Ganz or any other group / institution etc that deliberatelty misleads people…especially kids. Again, to say it is impossible to beat their high score without cheating is an insult. If Ganz puts a cap on a game then that should be right there in the instructions. An error of ommission is still an error, which, by the way, won’t stand up in a court of law either. Whether or not you or anyone else doesn’t like it if I complain or try my best to make sure EVERYONE knows about this practice, is of no concern of mine. There are better ways of blocking cheats than to deliberately LIE about the payout. “$1 for every 250 points.” Look closely and you will see that is a period and not a comma or asterisk with an explaination to follow.

Apathy and indifference have lead to many problems…take a look around, mainly at our elected officials.. It’s not a big deal, don’t worry about. It doesn’t concern me so I don’t care. It’s only a game. Bull, it’s the principle. I remember a time when a person’s word was their bond, a vow meant something. Now days you can say anything, promise anything and there are no consequenses for your actions. Promises are not kept, vows broken…who cares, its not my problem. Wake up people.

Ganz rips people off in games other than just Smoothie Moves. I played Booger Gets and A for 2 hours and should have won 800+ kinzcash. I had a score of about 30,000 or so, a few thousand higher I think and I got the message that my score was too high to be reasonable and I wasn’t awarded my kinzcash.

What a joke. For someone who doesn’t care about this and has better things to do you are spending a lot of time trying to convince me to stop telling everyone about this practice. Still using a bad day as your excuse. Whatever.
