In the summer of 2010 we launched the Mazin’ Hamsters line of plush and section within Webkinz World. Since then, players have enjoyed building and exploring mazes, participating in daily activities and winning prizes. Mazin’ Hamsters can also be dressed, fed and played with like any other Webkinz pet.
Recently more and more players have been unable to access Mazin’ Hamsters. The Mazin’ Hamster section requires the use of the Unity Web Player. Unfortunately this plug-in is no longer supported by browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari, blocking access. As a result we regret to inform you that we will be closing the Mazin’ Hamsters section of Webkinz World on September 9th, 2015.
On August 19th, we will remove the Mazin’ Hamsters button from the Things to Do menu, but players will still be able to access the section through the building on the Map of Kinzville. On September 9th, it will be closed for good and will no longer be accessible.
Mazin’ Hamster owners will continue to be able to play with their hamsters in their pet’s room and clubhouse.
If you have points to spend in Mazin’ Hamsters, we recommend that you get all of your prizes before the section closes, as you will not have access to those points after it is closed.
Finally, if you haven’t done so already, any Mazin’ Hamster code can be registered in Amazing World, whether or not it was used in Webkinz World.
We hope that you have enjoyed playing Mazin’ Hamsters and continue to care for your cute little hamsters in Webkinz World!
***UPDATE 09/09/2015***
Mazin’ Hamsters has now been removed from Webkinz World. Remember that entering a MAZIN’ Hamster Feature Code at the Code Shop will still add the hamster to your Webkinz World account. You can play with hamsters in your pet’s room just like any other Webkinz pet! You can also play with your hamster in Amazing World, a 3D game from the creators of Webkinz!

Please fix Mazin’ Hamsters! It hasn’t been working at all since the update on August 19th. We only have a little time left for playing MH, so please fix it so we can enjoy it again before you close it for good.
I am one of the players who cannot access Mazin’ Hamsters any more. I have been trying but it just kicks me out, saying something about “compatability” issues or something and says I don’t have unity web player (which I do have just not the right type any more) :( ————- Isn’t there some way you can let players like me into at least the mall area to use our moolah? Mazin’ Hamsters use to be something I played for hours every day and with all the changes I can’t get in and haven’t been able to get in to play for a while. If there was a way to at least access our moolah and the mazin’ mall it would help a lot.
please ganz can you just work on updating it? I know you are probably never going to see this comment or ignore it but Mazin’ Hamsters was my favorite part of Webkinz World! Just please consider it.
Wow. This is really sad. My youngest loves to play in Hamster Hamlet. The loss of Dr. Quack made her sad. WebkinzX has caused frustration and problems with items missing or not working. Now this. Play time should be fun and joyful. It’s not so much anymore in here.
oh no my brother has a hamster and we have so much fun! but we don’t have the code anymore cause we used it. Can Ganz please check linked accounts if there’s a hamster that isn’t in Amazing World and if it isn’t then put it in there? Because that will be fair! Thank you!
@Michael Webkinz , Since yesterdays fixes to Webkinz.com NONE of us are able to play Mazin Hamsters, I never had an issue until yesterday , now when I click on the button to play all I get is a blue screen , no matter which button I try to use. Please fix Amazin Hamsters.
We’ve found the cause of this issue and hope to be able to push a fix soon.
So if it takes a while to find a fix so that we can at least spend our existing Moolah will the retirement be delayed? We don’t have much time to log in and spend and if it takes a long time to find a fix it shortens our time even more.
I’m soooooooooooooo bummed that mazen hamsters is closing :*(i mean I never played it or new about it but it’s still sad for me and everyone else who did or didn’t play
I had no problem playing mazing hamsters until the update on Wed. so much for it closing on Sept 9th….now we have no way of accessing it and trying to spend any coins earned..yet another disappointment on your part Ganz. This feature should not be done away with..your company needs to find a way to make it work. I did notice the E0store is still selling the hamsters…shame on you Ganz be original and figure it out..thanks.
