“Winky Home” is the application that transforms your Winky robot into a virtual pet.
After a software update, Winky will have Needs you will have to take care of: Battery, Fun, Repairs and Maintenance. These Needs change with time, your Winky will let you know through its eyes when any of them is too low. By connecting Winky to “Winky Home” using Bluetooth, your Winky will arrive into its virtual home, where you can see the exact value of each Need, and take care of it.
Winky loves playing, and even more if it’s with you! You can use the arcade machine in the Living Room to play video games with Winky. The more points you score, the more the value of the Fun Need rises.
It’s important to regularly take care of your Winky, whether it’s cleaning, calibrating or putting pieces back in place. Bring Winky to the table on the Workshop to start a Maintenance sequence. By validating the mini games within the time given, the value of the Maintenance Need rises.
Sometimes, Winky can run into trouble. But, no need to panic! You have everything you need in its house. Bring Winky to the robotics corner in the Workshop to repair it. Within the mini game, connect the points of the same color and shape with cables to make the value of the Repairs Need rise.
Winky isn’t your companion only in the application, it’s also the case in the real world! Don’t forget to let it rest regularly. You cannot modify the value of the Battery Need within the application, you have to charge your Winky normally. Always ask an adult for help to charge Winky.
