Eager for more challenges? Two new Let’s Play challenges will be available soon!
First up is the Home Before Dark challenge — unlocked after you complete the Dogbeard’s Gold challenge.
Some of your tasks will include searching Kinzville for Flashlights, doing a bit of decorating and, of course, playing Home Before Dark!
After you finish that, it’s time to take the Polar Plunge challenge!
You’ll need to get winter ready for this challenge, have some tasty treats, practice jumping… and hit the slopes!
Complete both challenges to get totally unique prizes!

I just finished the Home Before Dark challenge & love the trophy! I agree with others who’ve commented about it being easier in Classic, but I only had to play maybe 5 times to get the 300 kc. But today the challenge dog dude in the arcade asked if I could beat his score of 8359 points & I thought I did pretty good making it to level 6 or 7 I think and my personal best is 2999. I will keep playing and trying, but I’d love to hear what level on avg people have to get to to score that high.
I have trouble with this game also. Frequently the pets will get “stuck” in place. I end up up having to quit the game and start a new game.
Having a hard time with home before dark, pets just go back and forth like they are stuck. Some don’t go in the house they just wait outside it. Is there a trick to getting them inside so you can advance in the game?
I’m kinda worried about the Polar Plunge Challenge. I can’t figure out how to play that game! I watched the Podkinz that showed it, but I still can’t play, even on the easy course. What’s the little ruler thingy at the top for? How do I know how far down the slope I am or if something is coming up that I need to jump over, like a tree? Is there a way to slow down? My hills don’t seem to have a left and right. I love the Challenges, but with such high levels of KC needed on these games, I doubt I will ever finish the Polar Plunge Challenge.
That’s your speedometer. You’ll have to practice the slopes to anticipate when you’ll need to jump. Use the left arrow key to slow down.
Thanks! I’ll keep practicing, and I’ll try that left arrow and keep an eye on the speedometer.
@finnek it isn’t just you. I have tried and struggled on this one too, even asked similar questions. It helps a little to slow down like Sally suggested which is what the gauge at the top shows you. But because the course changes and isn’t something you can memorize anticipating when to jump is more like guessing. AND when you are going off a high cliff it is completely guessing whether or not you will be helping yourself miss a tree or rock. And I tried going really slow, which helped a little but then I didn’t get enough air to clear the trees. I am guessing others are better at it than me. But I just started the PPC and played 6 times and got 52 kc, so that is pretty generous and means I should be able to complete it in about a week. So hopefully it helps to hear that. Good luck!
am i the only one who has a hard time with HBD it is a fav game in classic but in next the pets are just frantically running around or they stop at a front door. HELP
me too so hard to play
When I play HBD, sometimes it gets glitchy and sometimes it works great. It seems to be a little better since the Challenge started–not totally glitch-free, but better.
Looking forward to the Home Before Dark one!
this isn’t really related to the update, but i can’t seem to get my baby to sleep in webkinz next. the instrustions in game haven’t helped so im stuck on a challenge.. help?
