HAVING ISSUES

KONG STUDIOS

Mobile Users: Kong Studios is best experienced in landscape mode, as some features (like signing up or buying the Kong Card) might not work perfectly if the screen is vertical, or depending on your device. For the best experience, you are recommended to explore on a desktop or laptop computer.

When Do New Rooms Open? Create an account and join the mailing list, and you’ll be the first to know. Kong Card holders have access to new rooms before anyone else.

KONG CARD FAQs

What to Do If You Have Problems With Your Kong Card

• Payment Screen Won’t Load: If you can’t see the payment pop-up in Kong Studios, your browser probably has a pop-up blocker enabled (especially if you’re using Safari). You’ll need to allow the pop-up window to open or adjust your browser’s settings/preferences. For more see: Safari / Chrome / Firefox / Opera. Alternatively you can get a card at www.gorillaz.com/kongcard.
• My Avatar is Locked! Your membership allows you to create one avatar. Once you click “finish” and then “confirm,” it’s locked forever. Choose wisely!
• Can’t Download the Card/Avatar: Sometimes your computer downloads a text file instead of the card pass – especially for Apple users. Try changing the file name/extension to .pkpass. Then, email it, AirDrop it, or message it to your phone and open it there. It should work! If not, email us.
• Need to Update Payment/Cancel? You can handle your membership via Kong Studios anytime by clicking “Manage Subscription” then “Cancel Subscription” on the Kong Card tab. (If you cancel, you will not be charged again, and your Kong Card membership stays active until the end of the 12-month period you paid for). Any questions or difficulty, email us.
• Can I get a refund? Once you’ve accessed the card’s benefits (like making your avatar or downloading the card), refunds are unavailable.
• Still Stuck? If none of the above fixes work, email us.
