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!

I had a quick question. Will you also be getting rid of the plushies? I thought they were so cute and adorable! Another question, will you be getting rid of Amazing World and the plushies/figures too? They both use Unity Web Player. :( I just started laying Amazing World so i would really be sad if that was gone.
Why can’t you just update it along with the rest of Webkinz World? Also, will we still be able to purchase/adopt Mazin’ Hamsters?
Goodbye, hamlet. I’ll miss your mountain. I’ll miss your forest. I’ll miss your lagoon. (I loved that lagoon.) Goodbye mazes. I’ll miss your flags. I’ll miss your loops and dead ends. Goodbye mall. I’ll miss your prizes. I’ll miss your tube designs. I’ll miss your hamster ball selection. And sorry Nick, my Mazin’ hamster who loved these things quite a lot. He enjoyed racing through the mazes. He enjoyed his exclusive hamster ball. And he enjoyed the only place in Wekinz World with a third dimension. We’ll miss the music. We’ll miss the Key Craze. We’ll miss taking Zums to parties. We’ll miss racing against the clock for trophies. We’ll miss that message telling us to visit Tinker, even though we never see him. We’ll miss the Mazin’ news that never gets updated anymore anyway. And We’ll miss the only place in Webkinz with a third dimension. Maybe one day, Webkinz will rebuild Mazin’ Hamsters, bigger and better than it was before. But for now, we enjoy our last days in the hamlet, sitting by the flowing rivers of the forest zone, knowing that in less than month, our beloved Mazes will be broken down, and Nick’s childhood will suffer for bit. So he’ll play gift grab, and deliver all those gifts to all the good children in the world with my webkinz Reindeer, Rudolph. And he’ll put them under their Alpine Evergreen Trees which are available at the Mazin’ Mall until it closes for good. The saddest ones here are the hamsters.
I’m so disappointed! I love Moolah Mountain and the mazes, and now that I have a (second) computer that can run Unity Player, I won’t be able to play it. Why can’t it be updated? I do play Amazing World sometimes, but it’s just not the same. I have a free account, so I can’t trade, there aren’t any prizes I can earn for my WW hamster’s room, there aren’t any mazes, it’s actually less amazing than Mazin’ Hamsters. :-(
and now can they come with their own food and special hamster item. I love them!
Can we still purchase the hamsters? I loved playing them in my webkinz world and would like to still be able to apodt the ones that I hadn’t yet adopted.
I’m really sorry and very sad to see the Mazin Hamsters section go. I really enjoyed doing the activities to earn Mazin Moolah, running different mazes, especially when they featured special holiday themed rooms, building my own mazes, completing challenges in the different worlds to earn great prizes and buying items with Moolah in the shop. I’ve used MANY of the little green alpine trees, the hay loft bed, etc. Hamsters were so cute too do the little victory dance.
Will you try to bring it back later?? The mazes were so fun!
Will the hamsters be retiring Ganz?
Thank you for the warning. I haven’t played Mazin’ Hamsters in a long time, but I have 27,000 moolah to spend. I’ll have to get out my old laptop to make it work!
Go on a moolah shopping spree.
