Join us for impromptu games of Hide and Seek with MyVMK Staff! All throughout the month, the staff will be hosting Hide and Seek games and hiding in public rooms only. Find one and you will receive a special Main Street Puzzle Pin at random! Games will be announced as an in-game announcement and on our Twitter (@MyVMK) 15 minutes before the game begins. To win, you must find a staff member that is hidden, STAND NEXT to them, and be the first to say the following statement: “I found you (StaffMemberName)!”
Please note that players must WAIT to say the winning phrase until standing NEXT to the hidden staff member, rather than saying the winning statement as they enter the room, or while walking towards the staff member. Perfect grammar and punctuation is not required, but make sure to use the correct prefix (VMK_/HOST_/GA_/PROMO_/GR_) and try your best to type the statement correctly. Any magic used for an unfair advantage will result in a disqualification in the room the player is currently in. Winners will be up to the discretion of the staff member hiding.

This room is absolutely ADORABLE! I really love the use of furniture throughout the room! I especially love the use of Winnie the Pooh's House door, the roof pieces, and the honey tree to create Pooh Bear's entire home! Also Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger around the table with the Birthday cake reminds me of a Winnie the Pooh show I watched when I was little. Amazing job! – GA_Sadness

Ever wanted to know more about your favorite staff member? Now you can! Every month we will be interviewing a different member of the MyVMK Staff. Here is the most recent interview!
Say hello to this month's staff of the month… HOST_Winnie!
What is your favorite thing to do around the Kingdom?
I love looking for new ideas for rooms to build! I also like visiting random public rooms to speak with guests.
What has been your favorite HOST event thus far?
I feel really proud of my Corona Lanterns event <3
What is the best item for building your rooms?
Walls and flats! They change the ambiance of the whole room!
What is your favorite type of Guest Room?
I love themed guest rooms! Even something as simple as making a "house" or a "bedroom" can be made so many different ways and everyone has such unique ideas!
What is your favorite Public Room in the Kingdom?
I think my favorite room would have to be either New Orleans Square, or the Spell Room. Both are so fun to hang out in and each have a very different vibe!
What is your favorite mini-game in MyVMK?
Haunted Mansion probably takes the cake for my favorite - but fireworks will always have a place in my heart
What is your favorite theme on VMK?
I always think the villain themes are so much fun! I also enjoy any of the holidays - who couldn't love those overlays and music?
Favorite MyVMK memory?
My favorite memories on this game largely involve my time as a staff member. I love interacting with players, making jokes, and creating games. This little online community of ours is the best!
What is your favorite Disney park?
EPCOT
Who is your favorite Disney Character?
There are simply too many to choose from! I have a soft spot for antiheroes, I suppose. Jack Sparrow, Deadpool, Jack Skellington. But of course, I also love the classics! Who in their right mind wouldn't adore a character like Winnie the Pooh?
Is there any advice you would give to guests?
This game is largely what you make of it! It's a platform where you can make amazing friends, creative rooms, fun rides, personalized quests... you name it! There is never anything wrong with branching out, practicing a mini-game to get better at it, or trying to build something that seems a bit overzealous. Try things out, talk to people, and have fun!
