I am not sure what I am doing wrong with third part of the challenge. l made a hiking path but didn’t get the credit. Is there a special way I need to lay them? And will the mosquitos be in my yard or in Kinzville? Thank you.
Which path pieces did you get? You get 5 for completing the previous one, so you’d need to purchase another 5 and place all 10 in your yard. The mosquitoes will appear everywhere, as long as you are not in a game. You can only collect 5 per day, though.
I had the same problem. I purchased 10 tiles that look just like the ones in the challenge and didn’t get credit when I purchased and put in my yard. I found the mosquitoes when I was in Kinzville.
Can you remove one to your dock and let me know what the exact name is?
I ued the countryside straight and countryside curved. I will try removing them and adding again. Thank you!
I had the same issue. I have placed every piece of pathway in my inventory out there. I don’t think I received 5 pieces from part 2. I had to go purchased 10 of the one pictured, 10 straight ones of style pictured, then 10 of the only other choice (gray rock) of pieces. I have zero path pieces left in my inventory and get nothing on credit for pathway on this mission. There also isn’t a counter (like all other things you have to accumulate to place like flowers etc.) I believe you have a glitch in this part 3.
I really don’t recall seeing pathways redeemed for completing part 2. That may be the issue. It’s looking for those 5 to be included in the 10. Just suggestion of what may be the issue we are all having. Like I stated, I purchased 10 of pretty much everything and then emptied my inventory building paths in the yard and got zero credit for any of it. Hope you figure out what’s going on and get it fixed. I wasted a lot of webkinz cash trying to figure it out and nothing has worked.

I placed flowers for part 1, and didn’t get credit until I logged out and back in. Maybe you can see if that works for you. Best of luck!
I didn’t get path pieces for completing the previous challenge. I purchased 10 Countryside Cottage Path pieces and 10 Weathered Stone Square Square Path pieces from the W Store and used them. I love the way the mosquitos are large sized, it makes it so much easier to see them.
@Sally Webkinz–I didn’t get any path pieces as prizes in the previous step (ie. step 2/10). I wasn’t sure which path piece to get—the third challenge shows a Countryside Cottage Curved Path so I bought that one, but the challenge itself just says “place ten path pieces in your yard” and doesn’t specify which one.
Any path should work. The ones you won should be in your Dock under Decorations -> Yard Decorations
@Sally Webkinz—thanks, Sally! I repeated what I did yesterday with the same path pieces and it worked today.
I am having the same problem. I purchased the ones that look like the one displayed in the challenge list. I did not receive any award from challenge number two. There are no paths in my dock, so I bought ten. As a side note my Big City Streetcar disappeared. Never got to use it.
If you’re missing items, please contact webkinzsupport@ganz.com — look for your weathered tile pieces under Decorations -> Yard Decoration
The only path pieces in my dock were the ones I purchased. The day I Purchased them, the straight paths would not place in the yard. They work now, but no credit for the challenge as of yet.
Can you let me the name of the path piece? Put them back in your dock, then log out. Log back in and try placing them again.
Maybe I am missing something, but I do not believe I got any yard tiles on completing the second part of the challenge. If so, I cannot find them on my dock. At $200 each from the shop, I really hope I have 5 free ones already! Can someone give me some guidance as to where the free tiles are? Thanks!
Look in Decorations -> Yard Decorations in your Dock.
This will be fun, & what an awesome prize! I do have a question- does it have to be the Purple Bellflower that we plant in our yards? Or is it the flowers we collect in Kinzville that we would need to re-plant in our own yards?
Both the flowers from Kinzville and the one available in the W Shop satisfy the planting requirement.
I do not like doing this here but just lack another forum. The window challenge on Next shows a bookcase/window that must be purchased to complete the challenge. Is this item available at the wshop? I am unable to locate it. Thanking you in advance!
Could you be more specific with the challenge name? The third Work Bench challenge has you create a Bedroom Window and then add it to your room — you can find the recipe for it on the Work Bench. If that’s not the one you’re talking about, please let me know the specific task/challenge name.
Yes! It is the bedroom window challenge. I need to know what the singular item on the bottom is. For the longest time I thought it was the red tool item pictured, kept waiting to get it in a crafting bag lol! I have went through the wshop several time & can’t seem to locate the item but I could just be overlooking it. Thx!
Ah! That is actually panes of glass — it’s a material, so you won’t find it in the W Shop. The clamp (red object) is just part of the background of the Work Bench. They will be updating the glass material so it won’t be so hard to see.
Thank you so much Sally for identifying the crafting piece for me!
Oh, wow! That’s what this is about! I just need to find the flowers in the park and that doesn’t seem to be working quite right yet.
Hang out in Kinzville — the flowers will pop up near you. You can collect 3 per day
I was only able to collect one flower yesterday. I was in Kinzville for awhile but that was the only one to pop up. Hopefully, I have more luck today. Thanks Ganz for a wonderful challenge and prize! Ajoy65 :)
Takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes
Hi! We love a challenge! So far step 1 is proving a little too challenging as none of the players found any flowers in Kinzville yesterday. Will they be floating by or popping up? Either way, can you please give them a little nudge? I love flowers and have already completed steps 2 & 3. I can hardly wait to see what is next!
The flowers pop up, usually really close to you, so if you hang out in Kinzville, you’ll find all three that appear each day.
Thanks for the clarification, Sally Webkinz! I just need to learn to sit still and wait to collect the flowers as they pop up. Please tell the artists/techs that I appreciate all of the detail that they have put into the decor in Next. I just settle in at my favorite spot in the park, next to the fountain, and enjoy listening to the peaceful sound of the flowing water. This is where I would hang out irl, so if my pet has to sit still, at least there is a prime spot to relax! I collected all three flowers within 15 minutes of relaxing. The one was really tough to spot though because it popped up on the carousel. LOL!
Please help! I am having a technical issue with Webkinz Next. I cannot log in and the only thing that shows up is a sign that says “Connection Issue” I have already reset the cache but there is no improvement. Please help! I don’t want to miss out on all the fun stuff Ganz is adding!
You might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling.
How do I uninstall it?
If you’re on Windows, you’ll need to go to Settings -> Apps and find the Webkinz app to uninstall it. If you’re using a mobile device, press and hold the icon until the uninstall option comes up.
I have taken your advice and have just reinstalled. I am having the same issue!!! Please advise!!
If you haven’t tried this already, you may want to restart your computer and/or your router, especially if you’re using wifi
How often do the flowers appear in Kinzville? Thanks in advance
It can take up to 5 minutes for one to appear, but it’ll pop up on the ground near you, so you can sit on a park bench — you don’t have to go hunting for them.
Looks like fun. I’lm going to start hunting flowers!
How long do we have to complete the challenge? I have to wait a couple of days to grow ingredients for Grill ‘Em up. (Part 4/10)
There is no set time limit right now, but this is kinda seasonal, so I wouldn’t leave it for the fall, you know?
Thank you Sally! :)
i am not getting the condiments, or finding the flowers, got a couple however; not 6 per day on condiments. the collecting flowers only got 2 of the 3 and was playing for 3 hours. Anyone else having this issue? thanks for the new challenges on webkinz next.
If you don’t see condiments float by within 5-6 minutes or so, try logging out and back in. Make sure you’re not playing in a game — they don’t float there. The flowers will pop up near you when you’re in Kinzville, so try hanging out in one spot. If you don’t see something after 5 minutes, you’ll want to log out and back in again.
Thanks for the tip, Sally. Ajoy65 :)
