The name of the location is, of course, Zwinktopia. Similar to other virtual worlds like Second Life and Club Penguin, Zwinktopia allows you to take your personal Zwinky avatar into an animated, video-game-like realm to roam, chat and play games. Many of the locations are based on real-life establishments -- everything including arcades, coffee shops and dance halls are fair game in Zwinktopia.
Here are the major places in Zwinktopia users can visit:. In some of these locations you'll spend ZBucks, in others you'll earn them. But, how do ZBucks and the Zwinky Zcard work? Most civilizations develop their own currencies, and Zwinktopia is no different. ZBucks are the preferred virtual tender used by Zwinky users, and people use them to purchase goods and services around the Zwinktopia virtual world. All Zwinky users start off with ZBucks, and these funds can be put on a Zcard account.
The Zcard is somewhat like a debit card in the real world -- it's used to buy any item in Zwinktopia, along with special premium items that users can get only with the Zcard. So how do Zwinkies earn ZBucks? Well, there's more than one way. For instance, simply walking around and exploring Zwinktopia is one way to earn ZBucks. For each different place you visit, whether it's a single building or a larger, general area, you can earn one ZBuck, and you can collect up to 30 ZBucks per day.
Playing games, however, is where the real cash is found. After finishing a game, you have the option of cashing in your score, which turns your performance into cold, hard ZBucks. The average game generates between 15 and 30 ZBucks for players, and Zwinkies can earn up to ZBucks per day playing games. Members also get 10 ZBucks for every friend they invite to join Zwinky -- there's a maximum of 10 invitations and ZBucks per month. However, you'll also get an extra 50 ZBucks for every person who actually joins the service -- again, there's a maximum of 10 joins and ZBucks.
If members simply want to take the easy path to ZBucks, they can purchase them and add them to their Zcards by using a major credit card or PayPal account. Zwinky users can use Zbucks to purchase clothing items, which they can acquire at the Zwinchester mall in Zwinktopia by adding clothes to their virtual shopping bags. But there's more to buy with Zbucks than just clothes. Users can also buy food and drinks at The Caf or at Java Jolt. And don't forget that you can also purchase and decorate a dorm room at ZSU.
Like most social networking Web sites, Zwinky allows its users to make friends, chat and socialize from their desktop or laptop computers. But it's a little bit more than a place to gather and talk. The portable aspect of Zwinktopia -- the option of importing Zwinky avatars onto other Web sites -- has made it both flexible and popular for users. The introduction of Zwinktopia has added a completely different virtual aspect to the service.
Speaking of Zwinktopia, Zwinky is similar in fashion to Club Penguin, the Disney-owned social networking world where users create and control their own penguin avatars. Club Penguin is aimed more at a younger demographic -- generally children between the ages of 6 and 12 -- while Zwinky's age group has to be older than 13 to join, but the features and objectives of both sites are nearly the same.
Both sites require users to make their own personal avatars. Both services also exist in an imaginary virtual world in which users can move around: Club Penguin members roam around a chilly island, while Zwinky users move from place to place inside Zwinktopia. And on top of making friends and chatting, there's also a big focus on game playing. By playing these games, members of Club Penguin and Zwinky earn their own special kind of currency, which players can cash in for virtual goods.
In a press release, spokespeople for Zwinky pointed out the ability to create a new personality, try out new fashion trends or "make themselves hipper, trendier or more glamorous" as a positive aspect of the service. The release was also very straightforward about the fact that users could create Zwinkies that looked nothing like themselves in real life.
Critics, on the other hand, point out that sites like Zwinky place too much emphasis on consumerism and attempt to suck users in instead of teaching them real world values. Regardless of that debate, Zwinky had 16 million unique members as of August , and the service has added Zwinky Cuties, another virtual world marketed toward younger girls, to its roster.
