  2. To Play: Go to www.wonka.com, click on the ClubDub section, and log in. If you are not already a member of ClubDub, complete and submit the ClubDub registration form in the ClubDub section. There is no purchase or other obligation incurred in registering for ClubDub. Parents are notified of participation. Please see our Privacy Policy for information regarding our use of this information. There are two games that can be played: "NERDS" and "SHOCK TARTS." In each, the player is presented with a game board containing a certain number of rows and columns of colored gumballs. Through a series of moves connecting gumballs of the same color, players remove gumballs from the game board. When gumballs are removed, the game board shifts as other gumballs fall, changing the color pattern. The more gumballs a player can remove in a single move, the more points received. Scoring: removing 2 gumballs = 2 points, 3 gumballs = 6 points, 4 gumballs = 12 points, 5 gumballs = 20 points, 6 gumballs = 30 points, 7 gumballs = 42 points, 8 gumballs = 56 points, and so on incrementally. Bonus points are awarded for clearing columns and leaving four or fewer gumballs at the end. The game ends when there are no more possible moves. Refer to the instructions on the "Gum Ball Grabber" online game page for more details on gameplay. You may play as many times as you wish. All entrants must have a valid email address.
