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!

NOOOOOOO!!!
I’m heartbroken! I have loved playing in MAZIN’ Hamsters since 2010, always have had so much fun!! I’ve made so many fun memories in Mazin’ Hamsters and I love my hamsters so much! I know they and I will miss building mazes, surfing down the Moolah Mountain, collecting keys in the Key Craze, etc. :’(
Could you pleeeeeease create an area in Amazing World that would be just like Mazin’ Hamsters? I really like going down the mountain in Mazin’ Hamsters, running into coins to buy stuff – and if you beat the clock, you might get a prize at the end! Finding keys to open the chest for a daily prize! And exploring the three different places with the challenges (woods, medieval, & that cool blue area). I will miss Mazin’ Hamsters sooooooo much! Maybe you can bring it to Amazing World? Or create a separate website?
No please don’t close it!
Since they are taking this away can they bring back the kinzchat plus rooms?
Yes, kinzchat plus rooms are really needed. The clubhouse is really uninteresting without them. The only thing keeping anyone in there is trading. Not that it matters for me, my chat bar in either kinzchat or kinzchat plus does not work on my account since the debut of webkinz X. I can’t even use the premade smilies in there or click on my chat bar at all.
i can not use the mazin’ hamsters either but i could a while ago and it was lots of fun. i’m really sad that they’re closing. : (
Nooooo! Why?! =( Everything good is leaving. PLEASE DON’T TAKE AWAY THE ADVENTURE PARK NEXT!!!!!
Amazing World doesn’t work on Chrome either.
My chrome works for amazing world :P
Wow, this is sad because they only lasted for FIVE YEARS ONLY. Plus, I’ve been playing ever since they’ve come out. R.I.P Mazin’ Hamsters. :(
I can play Mazin Hamsters, I played for 2 hours last evening and this morning no problems. I am running vista and using firefox. I’ve never had a problem getting in. Since I’ve read they are closing it, I have been trying to collect all the prizes.
My only problems are having duplicate hamsters and giant red question marks.
