Play Games!
Games can be played by clicking on game furniture in a room, or by browsing the Games tab and hitting the 'Play' button on the game page. This will bring you to a lobby interface where you can create or join a table. There are single player and multiplayer games. Many games award
coins,
trophies, and other items for playing them. There are also some
Passport stamps related to playing games. Learn more
here.
Go Shopping!
The shop tab located at the top of your screen allows you to purchase items uploaded by other members of the community. The main page displays popular selections from the various areas of the shop. After you earn some
coins by working on
Passport stamps and playing
games, you can buy
avatars,
furniture,
backdrops,
toys,
pets,
games,
images,
music, and
videos. If you really like an item, you can add it to your
favorites list by clicking on the heart on its listing page. Learn more
here or find out how you can become a
creator too!
Your Whirled Passport
Your Whirled Passport keeps track of the stamps that you earn by doing certain activities. When you earn stamps, you also get coins as a reward. The higher level of stamp, the more coins you earn for the stamp. There are four categories of stamps: Mingle, Play, Create, and Shop. Earning certain stamps unlocks new stamps for you to work on. Your Passport is in your
Me tab and you can see your
friends' passports when you view their
profiles in your friends tab. Learn more
here.
Decorate Rooms
Once you've explored the Whirled a bit, you'll want to work on some rooms of your own where you can hang out with your friends. Basic rooms are made up of a background item called a
backdrop and any number of movable items called
furniture. You can go even further by adding background
music or buying a
pet to roam around in your room.
Shop for stuff or upload your own items, and then arrange them to suit your mood of the moment. Whirled's room editing panel makes furniture arrangement click-and-drag easy. Learn more
here.
Socialize!
As you walk around
rooms, you're sure to run into other players. When you do, you can
chat with them by using the white text input area at the bottom left under the room. After you get to know someone or if you find someone you already know, you can send them a
friend request by clicking on their avatar and selecting "Invite to be your friend." When your friend request is accepted, that person will be listed on your profile as a friend and you will be listed on their profile as a friend. Being friends also makes it easier for you to invite each other to play multiplayer games together and find & join them in a room when they are online. If you don't know anyone that plays Whirled, you can search for people with the same interests as you in the Friends tab. Also, you can meet other players through discussions in
Groups and by playing games with others. Learn more about starting out in Whirled
