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!

was it taken down early? i was able to play up until today (on firefox) but now nothing loads.
I have firefox and I can play Mazin Hamsters, I hope Ganz reconsiders this. I love playing it and I wouldn’t mind collecting a few more items for my hamsters room before it goes, if it does go – because I hope it stays like Mr. Moo did.
ganz? can you schuele a memorial for them?
farewell my furry frends!
(crying) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I ALWAYS WANTED A HAMSTER! my brother has one and he’s really upset! (shouting) YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS GANZ! (also, read my comments in the special anouncement) :————————————————————————————–(
Sorry that Hamsters will be closing. I can’t access hamsters today at all. B4 today I could access on IE, now after clicking on Hamsters WW freezes and nothing works. Have to x out.
Same problem for me
Same here, I played it all day yesterday, but today when I click to play I get nothing just a dark blue screen. I was in hopes to play until sept 9th.
What about Thrill Mountain? Will that app continue to be playable? Could it be expanded to be more like Mazin’ Hamsters?
Yes, the app will still be available in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. However, there are currently not any plans to update it.
Okay, thanks, Steve. It’s pretty clear we all love our hamsters…Mazin’ Hamsters is probably the funniest and most unique part of Webkinz World, we don’t want to let it go.
I really hope that this feature will be added back in at a later time….this is one of my son’s favorite activities in WW.
Ok here is what I think, Webkinz could if they wanted to update mazin’ Hamsters, and if they can’t update why couldn’t they change it to the “New Webkinz” program? Sadly they won’t. Because they don’t want too. it might sound harsh, but it is for us Webkinz folk.
oh no i have 3 mazin ‘ hamsters so i am hart broke. i do not play mazin ‘ hamsters that off tin but i will still miss it :(
