We are happy to announce that early access for the browser-based version of Webkinz Classic is now available! Now you can play with your account on either the browser version or on the Desktop App – all of your data is the same, and you can go back and forth. While this is early access, most of your favorite features are already up and running. We are continuing to work on the features that are not yet available, as well as fixing bugs. We are happy to report that both TVs and the coloring book are working again on the browser version!
To use the early access browser version, visit www.webkinz.com and scroll to the bottom to click the link to the early access site.
We will be updating our ongoing list of issues here: https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/browser-version/

I tried the early access version yesterday. It was “okay”. I know it’s still in the early stage so I’m not going to stress too much about it. I am excited about having the online browser again, but will wait and see how it goes. I do have a question: When the online browser is up and running perfectly, will we still be able to play Webkinz Classic on our desktop app? As of right now, I am happy with the desktop app, but like the idea of having the online game as my back up. (I hope that all made sense! Ha!) Anyway, thanks to all who have been working so hard to make the online game possible again. Thank you all so much! Playing on Webkinz is my favorite way to spend time relaxing each day. Don’t know what I would do without it! :-)
Lol I tried the online browser yesterday for about 5 minutes and went back to using my desktop version of it instead. At least right now, much easier. I will note though, the message box where it tells you what fellow players are looking for this or sending you that and lets you know that you’ve done the Peek A Newz is definitely bugged, lol. It did tell me that I had done the Peek A Newz and had two friends ask me to send stuff but, the entire “box” was white and there were no pictures, no text nothing. Thought someone might want to know :)
is there anywhere for users to write to you about issues encountered while playing? I tried several times but for some reason after logging on immediately there’s some issue with loading the room where my pet is and the entire screen glitches out (both with visuals and audio) before displaying an error
Yes. Follow the link on this page to see the full list of issues and comment there.
