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!

We are really going to miss Mazin’ Hamsters!! :( Is there anyway to give us one last chance to win trophies for the locked mazes (Christmas, Halloween, etc…)?
so my mom updated our computer to the latest version of unity to support webkinz x and now i can’t play mazin hamsters! we can’t get the old version of unity to work anymore. she even cleared the cache. this is all so unfair. I can’t spend my mazin moolah.
How bout you delete it, then make it so they use adobe flash player?
Hi Steve, I was able to get Mazin’ Hamsters to work on IE with the older utility, so my question is can it remain for people that use IE to access?? Thanks Judith
I think it would be really nice if you extend the date for closing Mazin’ Hamsters. It was down for several days, so we missed a lot of playing time. Please consider pushing back the date. Please!
Sorry for the double post – I didn’t remember posting this already!
I think you should extend Mazin’ Hamster for another week. MH wasn’t functioning at all for anyone for at least 5 days…and those are days I missed out on earning moolah and getting prizes. MH items are going to be rare, so I want to earn as much as I can.
Aw i am going to miss it. :( I have Sparkle the pink hamster! :(
This looks like the end of Webkinz for my family. My youngest son quit in disgust over the cancellation of Hamsters, and now my daughter-in-law has announced she’s pulling my nieces & nephew off the site over a long list of grievances. Great, there goes our best chance of interacting with them. My daughter hates “X”. I’m so sad I don’t think I’ll continue either. What’s the point, when my family has abandoned ship, & most of my friends have left as well.
I never liked when the hamsters were added to our pets, either. I never play with it in Webkinz World. It’s been sleeping in some room for 4 years :) Since the game is going away it’d be nice if we had the option to remove the pet from our account
As a Mazin’Hamster owner I want to go on record and say we all should be given a going away gift from Webkinz.
I’ve been thinking about all the players who have lots of Moolah and can’t spend it because of access issues….it sure would be cool if those accounts could have Moolah converted to Moneyz and have at least some of the prizes on Newz…maybe a few at a time and rotate? Or could the mall be moved to the W-shop as a department? It just seems that a lot of players are upset about losing their Moolah because they can’t get into Mazin’ Hamsters to spend it…
