Their hours are 9:00 am - 7:00 pm Eastern time Monday - Friday, and 11:00 am- 5:00 pm on Saturday.<br /><br />Here's a number for the U.K.: 441628500-000<br /><br />The support folks are really great and they can walk you through it. They even gave me a follow-up call on a question I had to make sure it was resolved!!<br /><br />You can also visit my main blog at <a href="http://www.ubfunkeysarefun.blogspot.com/">http://www.ubfunkeysarefun.blogspot.com/</a> if you'd like to read about some of my experiences with the error. My (very unofficial) tip is to back up your game files first if you are able.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Which Funkeys go to Funkiki Island?</strong><br /><br />Sol, Nibble, Webley, and Flurry<br /><br />{When you connect one of these funkeys to your hub, it should trigger the updates to Terripinia. The previously broken portal (yellow that leads to Funkiki Island) will be fixed. I've written about some of the updates here: <a href="http://ubfunkeysarefun.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-greetings-from-funkiki-island.html">http://ubfunkeysarefun.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-greetings-from-funkiki-island.html</a> )<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>How do I get my Funkey clean?</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There are washing stations all over Terrapinia after the updates for Funkiki Island. It can take 5 washes to get all clean. First the mud comes off, then the flies, then the "smell", then the dirt dust (like "pigpen" of the Peanuts!), then the dirty footprints. </span><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(edit on 6/13/08: There has been a change with the washings as of the 3.0 update. Your Funkey will now come clean with just one washing!)</span><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Some of the washing stations are in Funkeystown (dentist office near Funkiki Island portal, fish fountain on your way to the Kelpy Basin portal, and the perfume pansy near the Magma Gorge portal. And to get to Funkeystown Suds, take a right out of Grand Funkey Station )</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">My favorite is in Kelpy Basin where the fish clean your Funkey.</span></p><p><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">How do I cross over the broken bridge, lava, pirnha, and go through the hidden cave?</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Each of the 4 Funkeys earn something different after playing the games for a while that will help you get through those places that you couldn't before. After you can cross over (or go through), you will collect an orb and make your way up to the top of the volcano. You will be able to pass through the door to the Native's village. More on this later, but it's leading to a gift for the Pineapple King and then you can spend your coconuts at the coconut store. So shake those coconut trees every time you pass and start collecting them!</span> </p><p><br /><br /><br /><strong><em>More to come later..............</em></strong></p>Blog Authorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14479662119533592716noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584440820086059509.post-15765676798547652832008-01-16T08:18:00.007-05:002008-12-11T06:46:59.477-05:00Frequently Asked Questions<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">What is a U.B. Funkey?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">U.B. is the hub, and the fun-loving creatures that link up to it are the Funkeys. It is a virtual world (similar to the Webkinz idea) where the Funkeys explore and play mini-games in different zones. They win coins for playing the games, and trophys and other items for high scores. The coins are used for purchasing items to decorate their "cribs".</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">Can more than one user share the U.B. hub?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Yes, up to 8 players can create login names, although only one player at time can play.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">How do I avoid the henchmen?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">A hoodwink will protect your coins from the henchmen.</span> <span style="font-family:verdana;">But if you don't have a hoodwink, if you have alot of coins and <em>really</em> need to avoid him, you can quit the game real quick! Or exit to your crib. However, sometimes he's still out there waiting. But I did find one time after I waited a while & came back, the coast was clear. </span><br /><div><br /></div><p><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><em>If he does get you</em></strong>......a little game will pop up and you'll get to play in order to keep as many coins as possible. This henchman game was new with the 2.8 update.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">How I do get a hoodwink?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">As your Funkey is exploring in one of the zones, you will come across a small spark-looking object. It starts as little bubbles coming out of the ground and then turns to a sparkle. Click on it and you will have a hoodwink.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Which Funkeys are Rare and Very Rare?</strong><br />There is a book in the Terrapinia library located in Funkeystown that lists all the Funkeys. After you select one, you'll see them pictured in order of normal, rare, and very rare. </span></p><div><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170977705115040754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiud1p_YZVyxQqCJbrd5X-uVCWGk6lZj8Fw-ZCtrq1cLpYWXLYl6Po2UhzvQ8m9QD7BlsTlrXQ9iDKWa0khsx27Lviz3ZzpIExlLWvidjJzvGnWxqCfkKRee8_0BXomb7tRotbyPezEnOG_/s400/Funkeys-Group.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Here are some:</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Lotus: Rare is red, Very Rare is light blue</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Xener: Rare is red, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Scratch: Rare is yellow, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Boggle: Rare is tan, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Vroom: Rare is green, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Bones: Rare is red, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Deuce: Rare is blue, Very Rare is gray</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Twinx: Rare is blue, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sol: Rare is red, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Flurry: Rare is green, Very Rare is Red</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Wasabi: Rare is blue, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Glub: Rare is white, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Sprout: Rare is yellow, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Tiki: Rare is olive green (although the images are yellow), Very Rare is gray/black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Fallout: Rare is green, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Webley: Rare is blue, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Stitch: Rare is tan, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Nibble: Rare is black, Very Rare is white</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Dot: Rare is yellow, Very Rare is green</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Bandit: Rare is orange, Very Rare is green</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sprocket: Rare is brown, Very Rare is black</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Drift: Rare is red, Very rare is black</span></p><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Which Funkeys unlock each of the zones?<br /></strong><br /><strong><em>Magma Gorge</em></strong>: Wasabi, Stitch, Deuce, and Bones<br /><br /><em><strong>Laputa Station:</strong></em> Vroom, Boggle, Xener, and Fallout</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><em><strong>Kelpy Basin:</strong></em> Glub, Sprout, Tiki, and Twinx<br /><br /><strong>Funkiki Island:</strong> Nibble, Flurry, Webley, and Sol<br /><br /><strong><em>Funkeystown mini-games & mart:</em></strong> Lotus and Scratch</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><em>Coming in the future:</em></strong> Bandit, Drift, Sprocket, Dot</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Where are the hidden surprises?</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />Well, they wouldn’t be surprises anymore if we tell you.

And the pieces of junk on the ground around Laputa Station.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Here's how you find the <strong><em>Hidden Alligator</em></strong>: After you buy a smelly pet bed, take it out of your stuff and put it in your crib. Then you go to the sewer grate on the far side of Funkeystown and click on the sewer grate to toss in a coin to make a wish!
