Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
Players using our mobile app had an early preview of the new room and a few of its updated features. But now everyone will be able to play and design in the new version of the room when they log into Webkinz.com on July 8th!
Here’s what the new room will look like:
One of the best features of the new My House room is that it will now expand to fit in any size screen. We’ve also updated the look and layout of all the buttons and tools, some of which we’ve already previewed, like the new meters including the Pet Care Heart, the new Dock and the new Things To Do menu.
The buttons and options along the top of the room have also been updated and improved.
Top Left:
- NEW Hide/Show challenge icons
- House map
- Zoom (with NEW feature for scrolling in and out)
- NEW Edit ON/OFF button design
Top Center:
- KinzCash and eStore Points Display
- NEW Pet Care Hearts filled (for KinzCash and Family Score bonuses)
- NEW Family Score Display
- NEW Show Family Score Prizes button
Top Right:
- KinzTime display
- Friends List cell phone
- KinzPost mailbox
- Message Center
- NEW Options menu
Editing items will also work the same as they do on the mobile app, with new edit controls and the ability to switch into edit mode by clicking and holding on an item. While you’re in edit mode, the doors at the bottom of the room will disappear to make it easier to move and add items.
While being able to change and remove doors from a room isn’t quite ready yet, the new room was designed with this long-awaited feature in mind and will be added in a future update soon.
The new room will also do a better job at handling stuck items or decorations misplaced by the doors added between rooms. If an item becomes stuck or misplaced, when you reload the room, it should automatically be removed and sent to your Dock.
Stay tuned to my column on Saturday, July 4th and I’ll reveal MORE about the X-citing secret project, Webkinz X!
So, fellow detectives, what do YOU think about Webkinz X so far? Let me know in the comments below!

i have to admit i was pretty excited about webkinz x, but now that it’s here, i’m not enjoying it. there is stuff all over the screen, it’s making my computer take FOREVER to load webkinz, and i don’t like having to scroll down just to see my dock when i’m in the arcade. does anyone know how to garden? i think my garden will die if i don’t figure it out soon.
Some of my furniture disappeared with the remodel. Has this happened to anyone else?
I’m frustrated with the new update. I went on today and my whole inventory was cut of the screen by some blue stars bar. There was no way to see the things under it.
the new log on screen is really weird. i liked the old one. :(
is anyone else having trouble getting onto their webkinz account? it accepts me as a member but won’t completely load! it is VERY frustrating.
Finding things very confusing and things just freeze up. Too many changes all at once. Even trying to leave a post is freezing up. Not happy!
i know what you mean! all i’m getting instead of my pets’ room is the green screen with the adds on the side! i want to SLAP my computer!

well, I just logged but it,s the same old dock and everything else, not to mention that the prizes for collecting berries are still the old ones on my account. I don,t understand why.
OMG! MOVE THE DOORS? I LOVE IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (: Please tell me there is also COLORING DOORS!
I really, really, REALLY am very happy about this change! So X-citing!!!
