Zwinky is an online social network built around customizable avatars called Zwinkys. Players design their Zwinky through a set array of physical features and clothing options that can be expanded by acquiring Zwinky currency called Zbucks. When players are not busy dressing up their Zwinkys in the latest styles, they are interacting in themed chat rooms and playing dozens of games to earn Zbucks for more accessories. By following this guide, you can create your own Zwinky and join a fun social community.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Zwinky software

    How to Make a Zwinky

  1. Step 1
     

    Click the arrow next to the "Zwinky" button in the "My Web Search" bar of Internet Explorer to open a menu list. Click "Enter Zwinktopia" to launch the Zwinky Desktop software.

  2. Step 2
     

    Click on "Build A Zwinky" to open the Zwinky customization page.

  3. Step 3
     

    Select the anatomical shape of your Zwinky out of the "Pick a Body Type" menu. Your options are Hottie, which is close to human body shape, or Cutie for a more cartoon-like appearance. You can choose male and female forms of each type.

  4. Step 4
     

    After selecting a body type, change the features of your Zwinky in the "Personalize It!" window. You can alter skin color, face, hair and clothes. If you do not feel like going through the process of picking out physical features, you can click "I'm Lazy -- Surprise Me!" for a randomly generated Zwinky.

  5. Step 5
     

    After you have designed your Zwinky, click "Save Outfit!" to open a window where you can fill out a form to create a Zwinky account if you did not already have one.

  6. Step 6
     

    If you already have an account, sign In to your account and click "Enter Zwinkytopia" to view your new Zwinky. You can now join in on the fun of the Zwinky social community.

Tips & Warnings
  • Choice of body type for your Zwinky can influence first impressions. People who create Cutie types are usually into anime. You can play with the Zwinky creator without having a Zwinky account. Zwinky features a guide named Mister E who can provide additional help.
  • You must be registered to save your Zwinkys. The Zwinky software adds itself to Internet Explorer by default.
