Push's Adventures in VMK

This week Push has some piratey fun in Adventureland.....

Dudes! You'll never guess what happened! Just the other day I got my highest score while playing Jungle Cruise Photo Safari! My new high score is.. 500! I rock! I roll! I am the Trash Patrol! Okay, now I know what you're thinking: 500 is a pretty low score. But when you have no hands, it's really hard to take pictures and steer a boat at the same time. LOL

Anyway, that wasn't the most exciting thing to happen to me that day. I was celebrating my awesome Jungle Cruise victory and rolling through Adventureland when I heard the familiar song of "Yoho, yoho a pirate's life for me..." Of course I thought of visiting my good friend Captain Blackheart!

Right as I was rolling up to the Treehouse, a passing pirate dropped this funny looking piece of paper on the ground. Being a trashcan I don't like to see trash on the ground. Hey, if everyone threw trash on the ground, I'd be out of a job! Just as I was trying to figure out a way to pick up the paper, Captain Blackheart came around the corner. I was like, "Capn! Could you pick that up for me?"

As he crumpled up the paper to throw it away, Captain Blackheart stopped and looked really long and hard at the paper. He looked at it for so long that I said, "What is up with that paper?" Then he showed me what he was staring at. And guess what? It was the coolest pirate treasure map I had ever seen!

Blackheart and I followed all the clues and did everything the map told us to do and we found the treasure and it was so awesome that we decided to share it with all of our VMK friends! This weekend, June 23rd through June 25th, you'll be able to go on the treasure hunt, too! Click on the Q for the Pirate Treasure Hunt Quest and follow all the clues to where X marks the spot. If you can prove you're a brave and worthy pirate captain, you'll find the treasure, too!

Helpful Tips

Q: How do I know when to report something to staff in the game, and when to use Contact Us?

A: If it's an emergency - like someone is hassling you or making you feel uncomfortable, or asking for your personal information - report it by using the in-game Help button. If it's not an emergency - like you were tricked in a trade - please use Contact Us.

Q: What do I do if another Player calls me names or is mean to me?

A: The most powerful tool you have in VMK is the Ignore button. Click on a player and click on Ignore so you don't see their chat anymore. If you don't like how Players in a room are treating you, move to another room with nicer people.

Best VMK moment?

It's a tough one, but I think when I hear players helping new players with questions and just being friendly are the best moments.

Favorite place to hang out in VMK?

Central Plaza - plenty of space to hang out and sit. Maybe you'll get a glimpse of Donald if you're looking up at just the right moment.
