The first half of our Family Score update features improvements to the user interface. Now when you earn Family Score, you’ll see the amount of Family Score you’ve just earned appear and float towards the Family Score icon. Previously, Family Score earned only updated the total, so it was difficult to see how much was earned and when.
Family Score prizes used to be awarded as soon as you earned them. Now, Family Score prizes work more like Season prizes — the Family Score icon changes when you’ve earned a prize, and you can open it to claim the prize.
It wasn’t very clear what earned Family Score — now we describe all of the activities that award Family Score. Family Score is now awarded when you purchase a property, as well.
The next stage of our Family Score update will add more prizes! We previously sneak peeked an upcoming prize, and we have another one to share now: the Cherry Blossom Tree Swing!
New prizes will be added after our next site update. Players that have already earned the new Family Score levels will be able to redeem the prizes immediately.

Hi Sally, just wanted to let you know that the family score has had a glitch since the last update. The heart meter number at the top of the page does not reset at midnight like it used to. All the pets’ hearts go down as usual however as a consequence, when you fill each pet’s heart again you only get 5 points instead of 20 points. Hope this will be fixed soon. Thank you.
The technical team is investigating this bug.
more family score prizes please for classic and next. It’s such a long way between prizes at the end of classic.
Hi! I wanted to post a comment about the little survey on Next about Family Score. The question was whether or not having a high family score was important to us. I wasn’t sure how to answer, because personally, my score is what it is. I know how much I play and enjoy the site, so that’s good enough for me. BUT, it does matter, even if it seems unfair, when I am pruning my friends list. If I have a friend who has been inactive for months, and their family score is still 39, that indicates to me that the player isn’t regularly active, and possibly doesn’t want to play Next anymore, so I delete them from my friends list. I am very careful though, because Mandy Webkinz hasn’t been active for 11 days, and there is no way I am deleting her! Taking vacations from work and gaming can be healthy, and I applaud her resolve. (I irritate my family because I even connect to WW on vacation!) There is a friend of mine who has been inactive for so long that they are now Archived. Their family score is 341,230. They helped me on a lot of challenges, and I miss seeing them around Kinzville. I hope they are okay. Ganz, once an account is archived, can a player make it active again if they want to continue playing? I hope so. I just wanted to post my in-depth answer since I couldn’t fully explain in the little survey.
Yes, they should be able to reactivate their account by logging in
Sally Webkinz, you’re a keeper! You are prompt, professional, and so very helpful! (And you make entertaining spark party videos!)
Will Webkinz classic get updated family score prizes?
I am wondering the same thing. Adding more prizes to Classic doesn’t seem like it would be that hard.
I was wondering when webkinz classic will get a update of family score prizes??
Me, too. I have written several times asking the same thing. When they first started it, they said they would.
wonderful! My family score has been maxed for a while so I am excited for more levels! Thank you
