What are U.B. Funkeys?

UB Funkeys

When my son asked for a U.B. Funkeys for Christmas this year I will admit I had never heard of them.  He described them as a new toy that permits access into a virtual world filled with games and items.  He said you buy a base unit, which Radica calls a Hub, and then you buy a variety of different figurines - each unique and cool.  Then this hub gets connected to your computer via USB. 

From there the real fun begins - there are games available online where you can play as your character and earn virtual coins which you can use to upgrade your “crib”, which you can then show off to other players.

Still confused?  Here is the description from their site:

U.B. Funkeys™ is the exciting computer game that transports you to the fun and funky world of Terrapinia – a virtual world and home to the Funkeys.  Each new Funkey that you collect gives you access to a new zone, and new games within.  Play each Funkeys game and earn coins to buy cool new items to customize your Funkeys crib.  Once you have it decked out, upload it to share with your friends and family.  But watch out!  In this virtual world, Master Lox™ and his evil henchmen are lurking about; waiting to steal your coins and stop you.  Unlock the Funkeys Zones….Play the Funkeys Games….and defeat Master Lox™, bringing peace to the Funkeys!

I ended up buying the Radica U.B. Funkeys Specialty Starter Kit for him for Christmas. It was one of his favorite gifts! It took a little while to get the install going (there is a patch available that you might need), but all in all we got up to speed with U.B. Funkeys pretty quickly. And so far they have kept his interest!

I haven’t heard much about this interesting new game and there doesn’t seem to be much information available on the Internet so I thought I would start this UB Funkeys blog to try and provide real information on this exciting new product.  Once I get everything setup I will include reviews from a real 10 year old so you can hear from the horse’s mouth how cool the U.B. Funkeys world is.
