**1-20 Count & Quiz Whale** is one of the Linkimals that was released in 2022.

## Physical Appearance

1-20 Count & Quiz Whale is a blue and white whale. It has light-up eyes, black eyebrows and a black mouth. It has a "tuft of hair" on its head, and there's the impression of water coming out of the top of its head.

The whale's body has a light blue section outlined in white, and it contains the numbers 1-20 in colorful circles arranged in a 5x4 grid. The numbered buttons' colors are, starting from the "1" button and going diagonal: Pink, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple. Below the "18" and "19" buttons is a white button outlined in blue and it has three question marks printed on it in two different shades of blue; the middle one's dot is a star. There are also two light blue stars above the outer two question marks.

## Features and Functions

The whale is activated by pushing any button.

No matter which button you push, its startup routine after it is turned on remains the same. The activation sound plays, and the whale makes a sound and says "Whale hello!". Pushing a numbered button directly after the whale says "Whale hello!" has the whale say the number that was pushed, followed by a chime. Immediately after the chime plays, the whale play a "water splash" sound and it giggles before singing "Hello Friends". However, if one desires to push the button with the question marks on it after its activation sequence, the whale only plays the "water splash" sound and giggles before singing "Hello Friends".

Pushing the numbered buttons has the whale either: Say the number printed on the button followed by a chime (two chimes for double-digit numbers except 10 and 20), or, on the second push of the same numbered button: Say the number followed by a short rhyme (for the numbers 1-9) or say "[First digit], [Second digit], [The number you pushed]!" (For double-digit numbers). Also, on occasion, the whale either sings a song encouraging its owner to move like a whale, "Colorful Friends" or "Hello Friends" after the chime(s) are heard.

The first time you push either 10 or 20 has the whale sing a counting song. The counting song has two versions: one that counts to 10 and the other counts to 20, and they can be heard if you push the 10 button (for the version that counts to 10) or the 20 button (for the version that counts to 20).

Pushing the button with the question marks on it initiates a "find the number" game where the whale asks you to find a number from 1-20. Periodically, it asks you find a number that "comes right before" or "comes right after" the number it tells you, making the game slightly more challenging. The whale congratulates you if you push the correct button.

The box claims that it plays 120+ songs, sounds, tunes and phrases in total.
