Play Invites
We added a really cool feature to WaggleZone that lets you send a play invite to your friends
so you can set a time to all play a Wi-Fi game together. You put in the game you want to play,
the friends you want to invite and the time you want to play. Your friends are automatically sent
an e-mail inviting them to play. The e-mail includes links to let them either accept or
decline the invitation. If your friends all have Skype, you can even include a link to a
Skypecast in the play invite so you can use voice chat during the game. For the Skypecast to work,
you need a computer or laptop with Internet connection near your Wii and preferably a wireless
headset. More info about using Skype for voice chat.
Invite Non-WaggleZone Friends Too
Your friends don't even need to have an account on WaggleZone to send them a play invite.
When you setup a play invite, there is a box that lets you enter as many e-mail addresses as you
want to invite non-WaggleZone friends. Non-WaggleZone friends can review the play invite and
any comments that have been posted then accept or decline the invitation. If they want to post their
own comments though, they will need to make an account too.
Automatic Time Zone Adjustment
What if I live in New York and my friend lives in L.A.? Won't they be confused if I
ask them to play at 10pm tonight? WaggleZone play invites take care of this. When you
setup the play invite you enter the time in your own local time. WaggleZone automatically
adjusts the time and shows it to your friend in their own local time. The only exception is
for non-WaggleZone friends that you invite by e-mail address. These friends will see the time
in your local time.
Viewing Your Play Invites
When you logon to WaggleZone, you will see an alert if any new
play invites have been sent to you. Once you accept a play invite, you will see an alert on
the day of the play session reminding you about it. There is a link on the home page to
view all of the play invites you have sent and received.
