Wajas & Wajas
"Dynasty has challenged you to a game of Wajas & Wajas. He wants to see if you can guess the assorted colors he has used and the exact order those colors appear in. You have 20 tries to guess the answer and for each try he will tell you what you got right or what you got wrong... If you get the answer in one try you'll get a whopping 20k! But for each wrong guess he'll take 1k out of that winning pot. Think you have what it takes to out smart Dynasty? Hint: Colors can be repeated!" - site description for the Wajas & Wajas game.
Wajas & Wajas is a guessing game where the goal is to figure out the colors of the 4 hidden Plushie wajas by process of elimination. It can be found in the games menu by clicking World, then Games. The game costs 1,000 WC per play and you start off with 20,000 WC in the winning pot. You will then be given 20 guesses, with each guess after the first one you make reducing your winnings by 1,000 WC. Unlike most of the other games, this game has no limit on how many times you can play per day.
The possible colors are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. Each color can appear multiple times or not at all, and order counts. On each guess you are given the opportunity to assign a color to each waja and press "Try this combination!". After this, Dynasty will inform you as to whether or not any of your guesses were correct or partially correct. Your past guesses and their results will stay on the screen for you to use in helping you figure out the correct combination.
Possible Responses:
- " No Wajas found" - None of the colors picked exist in the set. You can now eliminate that color as a possibility.
- " X Waja(s) found" - Indicates that X number of color choices are both the correct color and in the correct position.
- " X Waja(s) of the right color in the wrong position" - Indicates that one of the plushies is the correct color, but that its position is incorrect.
- " 4 Wajas found" - Congratulations! This means you win the game.

Fun Fact: The waja featured on the Wajas & Wajas game page is Dynasty, a rainbow colored male African who is actually waja #114 (currently belonging to the full mods Alera & Perididdle). Dynasty used to run the Pear Shop. His artwork for the Wajas & Wajas game is the same as was used in the Pear Shop, explaining why he has pears at his feet in the picture.
Tips
Blindly guessing is a bad policy for winning this game. The best way to get better is to keep in mind that it is a process of elimination game, and to just practice to get the hang of it. It's difficult to explain the strategy in pure text, but a basic one is as follows:
- First turn - Make all of the wajas Red and press try. If it says no wajas found, you can now eliminate red as a color. If it says "1/2/3" wajas found, you know there's that many red wajas in the sequence.
- Second turn - Remember whatever number of the first color Dynasty said were correct and try the next color. Check to see if any wajas have been found- if there is, you know that color is in the sequence.
- Repeat this until you've figured out which of the colors are involved in the sequence. At this point you should have it saying that all 4 wajas are either found or of the right color in the wrong position.
- Switch the color positions until you win the game. If you're having trouble, you can use one of the colors you eliminated as a possibility as a way to find out exactly where one of the correct colors should go by putting only one of the correct color and filling the other plushies with a color you know it can't be. This way, you can just keep moving the correct color until it says waja found.
