Yavn Speaks!

A new Football Maze event to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday! A new Animation Quest at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom! Hints about the upcoming Epcot Guest Room! Hut-Hut-Hut… Hike! Yavn Speaks kicks off the latest VMK info right now.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Game time is almost here for the big show next Sunday and for our Football Maze event! As I mentioned last week, our Football Maze event will be running all day on Super Bowl Sunday, February 4th - just enter any one of the special Football Maze Rooms we've created and you could win a VMK Football Pin.

To enter the maze event, look for the any one of the rooms titled 'VMK Football Maze'. Each maze has a different color, blue, green and so on, and each one is different and offers a unique challenge. Once you finish any one of the mazes - you'll win the pin. NOTE: You can only win one pin, no matter how many times you complete a maze (even if you finish different mazes).

Touchdown! The VMK Football Pin will now be placed in the locker room, er, your inventory.

Quest Update

Inquiring minds want to know if we're still on track to launch the new VMK Disney Animated Quest the first week of February. The answer is - yes! Just to clarify, the Quest will launch at both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World on the same day. If you're going to be at either Park around that time make sure to check in with VMK, as we'll announce on the website when the Quest goes live.

Speaking of Quests, you only have a few more days left to complete the New Year's Quest and get your VMK '07 Pin. The last day to do the Quest is Wednesday, January 31st. Now you don't want to be the only player without this cool Pin, so get out there and get Questing!

Pin another Quest achievement on your list!

Upcoming Events

February is just around the corner and that means it's time to celebrate one of our favorite holidays - Groundhog Day!! Ahh, those cuddly little shadow loving creatures... how we adore them so. What? You don't like groundhogs? Ok, just kidding, does Valentine's Day sound better?

This year VMK has some fun stuff going on sale to celebrate the day - the highlight of which will be a brand new Pin. But just like Valentine's Day, the Pin will only be around for one day - it will be on sale on February 14th only! So make sure to drop by the Emporium and pick one up. So the Groundhog party is out? Oh well, there's always next year! ;-)

VMK will be your Valentine.

32. 27. 86. Hike!

So what do you think of that new Epcot Guest Room? We've gotten many questions about when will it be available and how can you get it, sorry but I still don't have all the details just yet, so please sit tight and as soon as our Epcot Guest Room announcement is ready – you'Il be the first to know, that is, if you keep checking back with the Newsletter.

Well that's all for this week. Now back to work, The VMK Team is busily getting ready for our next trip to Disney World where we'll be working on some new Quests and other cool surprises - you'll find out about those soon. While we're in Orlando maybe we should have a brainstorming session about some cool furniture for the Epcot Room... Hmmm.

See you in VMK! Yavn

Top Players

What makes a Guest Room award-worthy?

Guest or Game Rooms that stand out show originality in concept and design. It could be a use of conventional furniture in unconventional ways, the use of a theme or color, or humor. Game rooms that get the nod offer a new game idea or a new twist on an old favorite. In all rooms we look for room owners who welcome everyone with a smile and show a willingness to answer questions about their room.

Check out this week's Best Guest Rooms and Best Game Rooms.
