Leprechaun Chase

In 2010, Ganz decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Webkinz World by hosting a Clubhouse event that runs during the month of March. Players had to search the clubhouse in hopes of seeing Lucky the Leprechaun. If Lucky entered the same room players were in, players could click on him and were awarded one of six Jelly Coins. When players collected all six coins they were awarded with the Leprechaun Chase Grand Prize. Only one grand prize could be won per account, but after receiving it, players could continue to receive extra Jelly Coins from the leprechaun if they wished.

The Jelly Coins come in each color of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet) and are a food that can be fed to your pet. When players collected all six coins they were awarded with the Leprechaun Grand Prize. Only one grand prize could be won per account, but after receiving it players could continue to receive extra Jelly Coins from the leprechaun if they wished.

In 2011, the Leprechaun event returned to Webkinz World with minor changes. From 2011 onward, the event was known as the Leprechaun Chase. The same set of rules applied to all Leprechaun chases since 2011. For example, players could still only collect one Jelly Coin per hour and still had to collect all six colors of the rainbow to receive the grand prize. The Jelly Coin food prizes were identical with no changes, except that the grand prize awarded would vary from year to year. In 2011, ganz also introduced the ability to purchase Jelly Coins. As with other promotions, players not wanting to partake in the event or missing some coins were able to purchase them in their Webkinz World account for 1,000 eStore points each.

How to Play

The Leprechaun Chase event ran as follows:

• You had to be in the room before Lucky the Leprechaun appeared.
• When the the Leprechaun appeared, you heard a jingle and phrases to let you know he was there.
• When pets received a piece of candy. the words " " appeared over their heads. **
• When pets were checking their candy collection, a clover appeared over heir heads **

How to Find the Leprechaun

Each year since 2010 (excluding the event in 2018), players hunted in the Clubhouse in order to find Lucky the Leprechaun. When Lucky entered a room, he would suddenly appear in the room accompanied by a jingle and one of his phrases. Lucky is always quick and bounces from room to room throughout the Clubhouse. He is not exclusive to any one room in the Clubhouse and only stays in each room for a minute before moving on. For players that were having trouble finding Lucky, Webkinz Newz provided the tip that staying in a room for 30 minutes almost guaranteed you'd see the Leprechaun as he made his rounds.

In 2018, Ganz switched up the format of the Leprechaun Chase event. During this Leprechaun Chase, Lucky the Leprechaun hid in ads around Webkinz World. Once players found the ad Lucky was hiding in, they clicked on him to earn a Community Code. Every day there was a different ad with a different prize and Community Code, so players would have to visit Webkinz World every day to collect all nine.
