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!

Why did you do this to me ganz! Why?! My computer broke and I miss my webkinz and I miss playing mazin hamsters! Why couldn’t you update it ganz!? Please tell me why?!
I feel like half of what made webkinz so fun is gone. I’m really sad its going away. I will miss it most of all things to play with.
Yeah!!!:) I might still get a hamster!!!:) Since they aren’t canceling the code for it.
Noooooooo!!!!!! My daughter loves to play Mazin’ Hamsters. She will be so sad to see it go. Please reconsider and keep this fun game for those of us who use Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
We have Safari and i REALLY wanted to do main’ hamsters but i couldn’t so i am okay with this.
Oh my gosh. I cant believe this. We wasted our money on a hamster every once and a while and now and now their just closing it? I wasn’t able to access the game for like a month because WW or Mazin’ Hamsters wouldn’t load for me. Now WW works but I wasn’t able to play with my hamsters because of Unity Web Player. I tried Amazing World BUT THEN I realized that I needed Unity to play that two and I already had Amazing World when I didn’t have Unity!! Webkinz X is just all just too much. I didn’t even bother e-mailing them because it will probably just say “We are sorry for the inconvenience bye!!’ I’m super disappointed with the choices GANZ has been making to “improve” the game. SO disappointed.
I do have to admit it is fair for us who can not play it but I don’t really care… I was happy for those who could play it and that’s that. Well, at least I can remember how fun it was when I could play it… It’s a real bummer! GTG
The 10th anniversary was a disaster. Dr. Quack retires, We can’t use actions or change our pet’s outfit in the clubhouse. Podkinz takes a break for a while. And now this?
I HAVE MONEYS IN HAMSTERS AND WAS SAVING UP FOR THINGS, I CAN NOT EVEN ACCESS TO GET THOSE ITEMS……HOW WILL I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE HAMSTERS I HAVE JUST BOUGHT AND CANT USE NOW…
I adopted my hamster, Snowflake, just to play Mazin’ Hamsters. I’m so disappointed that now I won’t be able to at all (even though I bought a Windows laptop, partly so I could play….sigh…..) On one account we played the mazes and won almost all the trophies, raced down Moolah Mountain and earned prizes for our pets’ rooms, found terrific items in the mall, we did it all. And it was so much fun. Until the computer died and we got a Mac. (Because it was supposed to do everything better……….) I won’t adopt any more hamsters, since I can’t unlock the fun activities anymore. I’m so sad that we can’t complete the rooms we started, and we can’t win the trophies or do any of the activities anymore. Amazing World is cute, but it’s no substitute. Sorry, Ganz; I’m just not happy about this move. And following the closing of AWF ad WF, which I LOVED, it’s harder for me to stay enthusiastic. Really wish you could find a way to reconfigure that section of WW.
