Launched alongside the New Xbox Experience, A Kingdom for Keflings is one of the most charming and addictive Xbox Live Arcade games to hit the service in a long while. There’s a good chunk of Nukoda’s Editorial staff that’s currently hooked in to the city-building sim, but we’re taking a break to spread the love and offer you a free copy of Kingdom, courtesy of the clever cats at NinjaBee.
Dude, can I enter?
Totally. This contest is open to guys and gals of all ages, as A Kingdom for Keflings is casual fun for families, kiddos and adults alike! There are only two catches: The code will only work on North American Xbox 360s, so you’ve gotta be a Canadian or an American. Sorry, internationals. Also, dinosaurs may not enter, as they are notoriously detrimental to the health of city structures.
Rad. What do I do?
There are multiple ways to win A Kingdom for Keflings, but they all share the same thread: Tell us how to beat a ninja bee in battle. C’mon. A ninja bee? That’s terrifying and we wouldn’t know what to do if such a scary situation presented itself. Save our asses and we’ll reward you with chilled out gaming.
I can, in fact, defeat a pithy ninjitsu-trained bumblebee. Where do I relay this pertinent information?
First off, email with your name and Xbox 360 Gamertag if you want it widely known under the subject line “KEFLING CONTEST.” After that, feel free to tell the world in the comments section below. If you want to triple your chances at winning, hit our Twitter page and follow us before messaging us your answer — simply type @Nukoda followed by your response to submit your entry!
Their attack is imminent. I feel the need to tell you immediately!
Awesome — the sooner the better, but if we don’t know by Friday December 5th it may be too late, so submit all three of your entries (they can be the same, but you can only send each one once!) before then to qualify. The winner will be announced on Monday December 8th, and you’ll get your code via email. Act quickly — and silently! You wouldn’t want a ninja bee to know that you contain the knowledge to conquer it, would you?
We’re anxiously awaiting your responses. If you’re down for a free copy of A Kingdom for Keflings, email, comment and Tweet us your battle strategies!
Ninja vanish!

Sweet! I’m getting on those instructions right away. Mebbe I should make an Instructable!

I’m fairly certain Mexico is part of North America, too

Great contest, guys! The ninja bee will never see it coming!

I would defeat a ninja bee by pulling out my pirate sword and killing all the flowers so it starves to death.

Honey dripped from the combs where they hung, a message to all who see it. The Amora Hive was dead, destroyed by the HoneyCombers, crazed humans who turn themselves into round, hairy, long-snouted beasts so as to better find their drug of choice: the wet sticky glaze of the honeybee honeycombs. Amora had always been known for their shadow-melding hinjitsu style, fostering millions of shadow bees to protect their honeycomb stores. Yet these ninja bees were no match for raw claw and tongue power as the horde ripped in and feasted on the golden stash… This tragedy will not go unanswered…

Well first distract him with something he will enjoy but slow him down! Then just use his moves against him!
