In order to win points for your house, you need to complete KL!NK-related challenges. For every challenge, you can win a set number of KL!NKers (KL!), or, if you’re with Whimsy’s Haven, Wuhuhuhs (WHH).
Wuhuhuhs are worth far less than KL!NKers (KL!/WHH = 1000000), but are awarded in far greater numbers (if a participant from Reality’s Refuge or Ponderer’s Palace can get one KL!NKer for a challenge, then a participant from Whimsy’s Haven can get 1000000 Wuhuhuhs from that same challenge.) Note: this means there is no practical difference between Whimsy’s Haven and the other two hice.
