Eventually, through a showing of skill and success with the game, the player would be given an item as a reward, which would also be related to story progress in that particular world. After a certain amount of playtime and success in said game, the user unlocks the ability to play it directly from their Crib without the necessary funkey. Games are played in order to gain coins to purchase accessories for the user's Crib. While access to the world only requires a funkey from that world, a specific kind of funkey is needed to access the corresponding game room. In order to use a portal, the user must have a funkey that belongs to said world, or have some form of artificial form of access (see Angus). The world is divided into different maps that are traveled to via portals. Funkeys is designed around the player using figures to unlock more games and traverse more of the world.

When connected to the hub, each figure allows players to unlock new areas of the game. The hub is purchased in a starter pack with two of the collectible figures, and is required to play the game.
