The Back to School Blitz is returning to Webkinz Next!
From August 25-September 7, 2025, catch falling apples as they fall from the sky in Kinzville. Once you’ve collected 20 apples, you can trade them in for a random campus-cool prize. You can collect up to 50 apples per day!
This year, we’ve added 4 new prizes: 3 colorful School Journals and an awesome vintage Thrill Mountain Lunch Box!
Plus, fans of the Blitz will be super excited for our five returning prizes including the Blue School Backpack, an adorable outfit from the Kinzville Academy, the Table of Elements and the Wall Pencil Sharpener.
Don’t miss The Blitz! Login to Webkinz Next on August 25 to get started.

I have been getting some apples on my main property outdoors. This is a nice addition. Thanks
Please could you make it like the market where you get asked if you want to go in and can say no. I find chasing items near a property or the photo booth always gets you dropped into that building or booth when you don’t want to and by the time it has got you in and you get out, the items that were falling have finished. So annoying, happens to me all the time. I am disappointed with the prizes and would only want the chart. I wish we could pick what prize we want, as I usually get disappointed.
If you change to the other (view) you can go close to buildings to get apples without activating the building. I do that all the time by the photo booth.
Thank you for this info :)
I would love that.
Love the new prizes — the School Journals look great, and the Thrill Mountain Lunch Box reminds me of the “vintage” kind I used at school (LOL). Of the older prizes, my favourite is the Wall Pencil Sharpener. Looking forward to this event!
This event started today. But only for some. Not everyone got to collect cause they don’t have a board to collect. I agree with others on the same stuff we get every year. I even asked how about a Leatherman jacket. Some of us at school do play sports and we get a jacket. I mean classic has some cool stuff, but Next hasn’t even upgraded to that to par yet. How about it? Can we change it up?
We are not able to change up the event right in the middle of it, no. Prizes have to be created by our artists, implemented by our developers, tested by our QA testers. I can pass this on as a suggestion for next year. It’s not a fair comparison with Classic, which has had 20 years to accumulate content.
I too was disappointed in the prize selection. Once I hopefully get the lunch box I won’t bother to collect more unless selling them for kinzcash is lucrative.
Please, I’m BEGGING here, can you, during these events make EVERY building ASK TO GO IN. I will normally fight like crazy to enter a building [showcase is the worst] but during these events I’m CONSTANTLY being thrown into a building by just being too close [adoption center is the worst]. It then clears all the catch items and I have to wait all over again. It is SO frustrating. And I agree with the others, these prizes, c’mon, do better.
Also I just discovered the apples in my YARD!!! YESSSSSSS!!! PLEASE KEEP THIS, the park is a nightmare with all of falling items going to the extreme right and out of play, it’s just awful.
I hope they stay in our yards/homes too. I would love to be able to decorate while collecting.
Yes I noticed the event was on my screen this morning and then it disappeared. I saw the prizes and just couldn’t get excited about them. The lunchbox is okay, very retro with the thermos. Nothing else was unique or special. How about something like the glass walls outside Ms. Cowalines office or the Academy service desk & awning? We are kind of spoiled by your wonderful designers and expect more…
Please correct the dates of the event – it started today, the 18th, but the articles states the 25th to Sept. 7. Thank you
It went up today by mistake. It starts August 25.
Yesterday the Back to School Blitz icon was on my Next account and I was able to collect apples. Other people in my family could not and contacted Webkinz and were told it was starting on August 25th. I thought my account would reset by today but the icon is still there and apples are still falling. So now I am not sure if the event started yesterday or if it’s still supposed to start on August 25th.
Prizes are very disappointing. 3 of the 4 new items are the same thing but in different colors like the backpacks and lunch boxes from the past.
I agree, I don’t need or want any of the returning prizes. I was happy to win the lunchbox right away this morning, which is really what I only want from this prize pool. I’m sorry to say this, but I think to just recolor an item and call it 3 new prizes is really quite lazy. I may be done with this event since I have the one prize I wanted.
