U.B Funkeys is the amazing new computer game created for young boys and girls that uses the latest trend of computers and the Internet to bring toys to life in an totally new way.
Where you can explore a funky world filled with games, stories, quests and surprises. The collectable characters act as keys, hence their name Funkeys.
Each new Funkey you collect with great names like: Boggle, Bones, Deuce, Lotus, Scratch, Twinx, Vroom, Xener unlocks more of the funkeys world. The more Funkeys you have and there is 42 of them, come in the categories Normal, Rare, Very-Rare. The more rarer the Funkey the more crucial zones it unlocks.
U.B. Funkeys transports you to the funky world of Terrapinia â€" a virtual home to the Funkeys. Each new Funkey that you collect gives you access to a new zone, with new games to discover and explore. Play each Funkeys game and earn coins to buy more than a 1000 items to decorate a player’s “cribâ€? And the items you 'win' are themed to match your UBFunkey.
So if you have a skeleton-themed UBFunkey, you might get a bone chair as a reward. There are currently eight different UBFunkey Tribes available. You can select which Tribe to buy but you never know which colour of UBFunkey you are going to get - and this is what makes collecting Funkeys such fun.
Once you have created your funkeys home, upload it to show your family and friends. But be careful ! In this virtual world, Master Lox and his evil henchmen are lurking in the shadows ready to steal your prized coins.
