UBFunkeys are a set of 24 highly collectible (and highly addictive) characters that build into a complete population, with three members of 8 tribes to buy. And, although it would be fine and dandy if that was all to report, there's so much more besides. For, on connecting a UBFunkey to its hub, and the hub to your PC, each UBFunkey opens-up a whole immersive universe to discover and explore (UB Funkey Hub available separately - UB Funkeys Starter Kit).

But Funkeytown needs your assistance if it's to avoid a descent into chaos. Your task is to re-establish order and decency by completing tasks, avoiding nasties and collecting crystals right across the virtual town.

But here's the trick. The more you collect, the more you can explore, particularly if you've got one of the rarer UBFunkeys out there, which grant you access to some rather fine and exclusive content by unlocking important new zones. What's more exciting though, is that you can't order a specific Funkey Character - it's completely random which Funkey you'll receive, making it even more of a challenge to complete your set (There are currently 3 Funkeys in each Tribe). Some are also rarer than others!

Truly spiffing. And, dare I say it, truly funky.

Here's a bit more on the Sprout Tribe:

The Sprout are always precisely prim, particularly proper and the most purely polite of all of the Funkeys.The Sprout have perfectly manicured lawns, elaborate gardens and showpiece homes. They are often featured in Funkey Home and Garden and Architecturally Funkey Digest, and a Sprout has won the coveted FELIX award (given to the neatest Funkey) for as long as anyone can remember. Most jobs around town associated with keeping things beautiful are held by Sprout. They work in concert with the Boggle to keep trash off the street although they find the Boggle to be "gross creatures." They have a natural ability to grow any type of vegetation. If they had thumbs, they would most certainly be green!
