Amelia’s Fashion Advice

Written by dizzywoodexplorersjournal on November 15, 2008 – 2:40 pm -

Hello my fashion-forward Explorers!

I’m so excited that I have the chance to tell you about something really cool in Dizzywood. Do you like having fashion shows with your friends? Always wish you could try on your buddies clothes and see how it looks on you? (I know I always do that with my gal pals). If you’ve got a buddy that has just upgraded to a Gold Explorer, visit their mansion and check out their Dressing Room! 

If you look on their wall, you’ll see all their amazing styles hanging up. And you want to know the best part? You can just click on any article of clothing and try it on! It’s way cool I tell you. Don’t forget to cycle through their racks of clothes by clicking on the blue arrows in the middle of the room.

Oh, and another thing! How could I have forgotten? I know most of you have probably had your hair styled or colored by someone in town, but you can now get a fashion wardrobe update by any Gold Explorer with the Fashion Sense Skill! Ask around town, and who knows, they might just dress you in clothing you forgot you had hiding away in your backpack!

Have fun Explorers!

Your Gal Pal, 

Amelia Vermillion

Fabulous Homes! Absolutely Fabulous!

Written by dizzywoodexplorersjournal on November 7, 2008 – 7:21 pm -

Hello my stylish decor Explorers!

It’s been a while since we’ve chatted, hasn’t it? I apologize, truly I do. I went out for a walk today, visiting your homes, and I cannot wait to show them off! So many of you are getting so creative with your home furnishings (which of course you’re buying from moi). I’ve left some notes on the photos of my favorite parts of these homes. Perhaps they will inspire you to shop my emporium for your own personal goods. I’ve got everything there I tell you, everything! Well, well, on to the real reason why I’m here. These are currently my top picks for most fabulous Dizzywood homes! (Hold your mouse over each photo to see who the owner of the home is).

You’ll never know when I’ll stop by again,

Brooke Lodgington

Investigating with Spy Bear

Written by dizzywoodexplorersjournal on November 6, 2008 – 3:58 pm -

He’s got high-tech gadgets, night vision goggles, and a treehouse full of the best equipment to keep a safe guard on Dizzywood. Does he work alone? Oh, no! By no means would this hard working spy be able to keep watch on Withering’s sleight of hand without help. 

Spy Bear is his name, and investigating is his game. He delegates swarms of bumbling Agent Bees to follow any trail that could possibly lead to trouble in the ‘Wood. Some of you may not know of him, and if you don’t, well you must! He hides out up in the trees of the beautiful Wildwood Glen. Visit him with a collection of honey and he’ll make sure to equip you with all the necessary equipment!

If you’re already equipped with spy gear, wear it with pride and be prepared to see some missions coming in from Spy Bear himself!

Dizzywood Spends Halloween with Bay Area School

Written by Dizzywood Team on October 31, 2008 – 8:45 am -

We’ve been working with fourth and fifth graders from a Bay Area school on ways to use Dizzywood in the classroom. These students, just like many of you, have been spending time exploring Dizzywood, learning how to work together to complete missions, and become acquainted with the Dizzywood story.

Because today is Halloween, we thought it would be a great idea to have them share their scary stories with all of you! So grab a cup of hot chocolate, turn down the lights, and be prepared to be spookified!

Thank you to the students for sharing your scary stories with all of us!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween Party is a Go!

Written by dizzywoodexplorersjournal on October 30, 2008 – 7:25 pm -

Happy Halloween Dizzywood Explorers!

The Dizzywood Party Planner has advised us that she is all done with the decorations, and would love for everyone to put on their favorite costume and come on in for some major dance partying! The dance floor is large enough for all your friends, so bring them with you! 

Make sure to turn the volume up on your computer so you can hear the music! The music will have you dancing all night long! (You won’t even notice the sun come up, as long there are still bats around)

We’ve all heard what happens when a black cat crosses your path, right? Make sure you don’t see any walking around in Dizzywood! We’ve been hearing rumors that people are changing the color of their Cat Critter to be black! And it sure looks spooky! 

Oh yes! And the most important thing of all, how do you get to the Halloween Costume Dance Party? Well that is our trick to you! (Hint: Click on a tombstone in Prestos Edge)

Have fun Explorers!

Halloween Costume Dance Party

Written by dizzywoodexplorersjournal on October 28, 2008 – 6:01 pm -

Halloween is just a few days away! Do you have your best costume ready?

We’ve been scouting out a good place to hold our Halloween Costume Dance Party, and we’re having no luck! We did however come across this place:

What do you think? Should we have the party here? It’s not too spooky, right? A couple empty grave stones, bats, and who knows what else…
