 This starter pack gives you access to Funkeystown and Speed Racer Mar 29, 2010
This item is a game module for Radica's game called UB Funkeys. It cannot be used without a UB Funkeys base that plugs into your computer via a USB port. I think the best thing about this game is that the player (young or old) must participate in some activity to earn coins that are then exchanged for goods to enhance one of three rooms that you can then share with other players through the internet. The interaction between players on the internet is very restricted, so I feel comfortable letting even my smallest children play online. To really enjoy the game you should also have access to the internet. Some of the modules allow the player to interact with other players through the internet. When signed on as an administrator you can also get updates and patches from UBFunkeys.com automatically. We have not purchased all of the game modules, but we are enjoying the ones that we have. To help you decide which module's character, activity, and the rewards available I will list the ones we have so you can make the decision for yourselves.
Berger (cow shaped module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is to build a 21 scoop ice cream cone. The rewards are dairy related furniture, horns to go on your wall, or other dairy related foods.
Drift (speedometer faced module) allows the player to access Drift's Garage in main Funkeys Town. The activity is a pinball game. The possible rewards include traffic cones, different gas containers, tables shaped like the bumpers in the pinball game, and if your real good you can get a free pinball futon.
Duce (devil shaped module) allows the player access to "Magma Gorge." The activity is a skeet shoot with records instead of clay pigeons and a trident instead of a shot gun. The possible rewards are all volcanic in nature accept some couches with exhaust pipes on the side and different colored records to hang on the wall in one of your rooms.
Dyer (peace symbol faced module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is a Mahjong game that can be played against someone else on the internet or against the computer. The possible rewards include rugs in the shape of the peace sign, smile faces that portray a mood for your wall, tie-dye bean bags, and Mahjong tables.
Glub (fish shaped module) allows the player access to "Kelpy Basin." The activity is a bowling game and the possible rewards include under water speakers, a variety of kelps and anemone beds.
Lucky (rainbow faced module) allows the player access to "Daydream Oasis." The activity is a kind of Soccer kick off challenge. The possible rewards include shamrocks, piles of coins and cauldrons of coins.
Ptep (mummy shaped module) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." The activity is to reveal two of a kind items arranged in a pyramid. The rewards include hieroglyph tablets and other Egyptian items.
Rewind (parrot with antenna) allows the player access to "Funkeykey Island." The activity for any of the modules with antenna is a limited chat with other players who are online. The content of the conversation is restricted to set statements that are selected from the menu. The rewards in Rewind's nest on Funjeykey Island is a phone to invite other players to see one of their three rooms and what they have earned to decorate it with, cell phones give you the ability to participate in this limited chat feature, and you can also get an interactive bird and nest to put in one of your rooms. I love my bird and nest.
Snake oiler (has a snake on his helmet) allows the player access to the "Speed Racer Complex" inside Funkeystown. The activity is to drive a race car in a race around bends and obstacles. The rewards are all snake related. He can also access another driver's rewards inside the Royalton complex when the player can buy trophies, display cases of trophies, and game tables.
Sol (sun symbol on the face of this module) allows the player access to "Funkeykey Island." The activity is miniature golf. The rewards include rays of light, tanning beds, hammocks and if you are really good you get a mask that magnifies light so you can explore a dark part of the island.
Sprocket (robot with a sprocket on its tummy) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." The activity is boxing than can be played against another player online or against the computer. The rewards include technical plans to sprocket to go on the wall of one of your rooms, metal dogs, metal tables shaped like a sprocket, and benches made of sprockets.
Tiki (shark looking with slit eyes) allows the player access to "Kelpy Basin." The game is breakout. The rewards include torches, masks, gongs, and drums.
Vlurp (vampire shaped module) allows the player access to "Nightmare Rift." The game is a kind of maze where you must collect watering cans and pots. The rewards include gothic windows, coffins, very large trees, goblets and chairs with bat wings, and if you are good at the maze you get a tomatoes plant called Noctomatoe for one of your rooms.
Vroom (red, white and blue with a star on its eye) allows the player access to "Laputa Space Station." The activity is Skeet ball. The rewards include couches with exhaust pipes, star shaped tables, engines, and oil drums.
Waggs (dog shaped module) allows the player access to Waggs University in Funkeystown. The activity is a word scramble (a hard one too). The rewards include anything you might want or not want for your dog.
I hope this helps. I noticed that one of the other gamers said that he bought a module and then erased it and turned it into a flash drive. That is utterly preposterous. These are game module that have Read Only Memory, and cannot be used in any other way. They do make a great game. My children are learning that they cannot have the reward they want unless they earn some coins by playing a game first. The game includes good guys and bad guys and great places to explore. I love it, and I am 41 years old. Even my 5 year old loves it. If you decide to play, drop by my room (I am RacersGarage). Have fun.
Funkeys are so fun! Mar 03, 2010
Funkeys are so fun! I would recomend these toys to any kid with a computer.... or any adult! The virtual world is awsom! So much to do and explore! Good price for a starter set! Shippin was fast! Good buy!
 It's okey... My son got bored with it... Nov 14, 2009
I bought it for my son back in April... He got board with it within a week. He was 7 years old then but the games on the disk wasn't that interesting. I thought it was gonna be like a "Club Penguin" (which my son loves) but was disappointed. My (and my son's) main issue is that when you roam around the "Funkeys" world you have to have the right Funkey to access sections. We only had 2... you have to go run around to find the right section which was hard to find. Also when you switch out the Funkeys from the reader it doesn't always change on the PC... I had to unplug the USB every once in a while. Not for everyone... unfortunately you have to buy the toy/game to find out if it's right for you.

you need patience Mar 20, 2009
My son begged for this toy. I had no clue what it was. We received it in the mail. It took me some time to program it to my computer. Once it was loaded it runs a little slow at the beginning. I watched my son play. He was into it the first week and now it's just sitting there. Waste of time and money.

Nephew loved it! Dec 27, 2008
I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and he loved it! His parents were unable to find it locally, so he was so excited to find that he did get this set after all. His brother and sister also play with these and they love them too.
