It is recommended to use Unity to handle this file. This is a program created by Unity Technologies. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the WHIRLD file.
How to open WHIRLD file?
The most common problem when using Unity Whirld Package is that a specific WHIRLD is not associated with the program. This causes the file WHIRLD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WHIRLD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Unity
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Unity is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Unity in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WHIRLD.

Remember to download programs supporting WHIRLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unity with WHIRLD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WHIRLD file still does not use the Unity program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Unity application as the default for handling the WHIRLD file.
Step 3. Update Unity to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Unity program with the Unity Whirld Package file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Unity Technologies website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WHIRLD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WHIRLD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WHIRLD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WHIRLD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WHIRLD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WHIRLD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Aubrey Falconer help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WHIRLD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WHIRLD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WHIRLD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WHIRLD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
