How to unlock JAPAN World in MyWhoosh - Hint: Gems More: MyWhoosh Review Whilst MyWhoosh is technically free, the easiest way to unlock the new JAPAN world is by buying a season pass - details below. Confusion Mywhoosh has multiple confusing reward/progress mechanisms, which probably only one person in marketing in the organisation understands. I certainly don't. I understand that at the end of the current indoor cycling season (March 2025), Japan is open to anyone cycling for free with no preconditions. Before that, you need some power gems. Even that might not be technically true as you can earn power gems by completing various challenges. Once I'd figured that out, I was a year older and just gave in figuring out the qualifying challenges. You probably know better than me. Step 1: Buy some power gems. Easy, you would have thought...but no. Where do you buy them? For example, in the Windows PC version of the app, you can't buy them. Instead, go here: https://event.mywhoosh.com/user/activities#profile Click on the green lightning logo and then buy 150 POWER GEMS - no more, no less. You must pay by card using the brand's STRIPE checkout, which will cost you AED29, less than US$10. There is no PayPal option.

Obviously, there is a clearly labelled thing called 'SEASON PASS - BUY NOW' that you can buy, right? Nope. Instead, you must click on the Vintage Bike shown below. It will look slightly different from how I've shown it in the image, as I've already bought the Season Pass. Anyway, click the vintage bike you don't want because you need it. Step 3 If you are still alive, keep breathing. You're almost there. Just go to the JAPAN world and it should be open for you...like this And to prove that I managed to get there, here's Mount Fuji which is tomorrow morning's work for me. Take Out myWhoosh was always intended to be free. The company is true to that original intention as they make taking your money as difficult as possible. Clearly, they don't want you to pay.
