Dear Webkinz Fans,
Two years ago we came up with an idea. An idea to make some big changes to Webkinz.com to prepare it for its second decade of online fun. That idea was affectionately known as Webkinz X. Our goal was to give your pets more life and more importance in your day-to-day Webkinz play, and furthermore, reward you for being a great caregiver to your family of pets.
After two years of hard work by the Webkinz team, including many long nights and weekends, Webkinz X has arrived.
What you will see is just the beginning. Over the next few months we will be dramatically increasing the ways to increase your Family Score, and teach your pets new requests so that you have more ways to care for them. It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, whether you’re a collector, a gamer, or just like playing in the room.
This first release of Webkinz X does have some issues. We have not made a release this large since… well since we first launched the game 10 years ago. Included in this release is a completely rewritten My Room. This new Room has built from the ground up to give us the ability to add new, exciting features to the Room, many of which you’ve been asking about for a long time.
As part of this rewrite, all 17,000+ items in Webkinz World had to be reworked for the new Room. While we got most of these items to work, some are not 100% perfect yet. Some items are not animating properly and other are missing their images. We know that these will be of concern to you, so we have a team dedicated to making these items right, and we will be making regular updates (every few days) until every item is done.
Please use the links below to see which items are not working properly. These pages will be kept updated with the latest information, so check them regularly. Additionally, some popular features are currently disabled (Pet Actions) or changed (Gardening) as we continue to make improvements to our new Room. All of these features will be returning to how you know and love them. Thank you for your patience as we make these important and exciting changes to Webkinz World. The future has arrived!
Cheers,
The whole team at Webkinz World.

Please help Gennelle! I am not quite sure if this is happening to other people but ever since webkinz x came out I haven’t been able to go in the clubhouse. I’ll click on the clubhouse and then it will start to load but then the screen just goes blue and stays that way. :/ If its just me that this is happening to is there anything I can do for it to not do that? Thanks :)
Mine does that too. I’ll go directly to the Park when it does, and once I get loaded into the park, I’ll switch over to the Clubhouse. It’s a little tedious, but it works.
I would like my webkinz rooms a lot better if I had the option to move or remove the doors, or to buy decorated doors, because they are always in the way of my room designs and ruin some wallpaper I pay a lot for and having to adjust my rooms on the map around a room that I do not want to have a door is difficult, plus I have so many rooms I travel by the map anyway.
I love this idea! I travel by map all the time, too. I have too many rooms and pets to keep track of what room is through which door.
I didn’t like the Webkinz X at first, but know I love it! I hope every one else does as well! :) Although It is really hard to feed my pet. They want more and more. I don’t have enough money to keep on feeding my pets. They are getting upset! WHY?
I’m having that problem too. Some of the less-expensive high nutrition food I’ve found is Spinach, Yams, Apples, Carrots, Cantaloupe, and Papaya. It usually only takes three or four of these to fill a pet up from zero. Something else that is essential (and shouldn’t be, in my opinion) a pet won’t fill up unless you get them out of bed first. Hope that helps!
Hi. I have a few issues I’ve noticed. Alyssa’s Star Search, Wheel of Yum, Soccer Challenge, Jazz Monsters, and Wacky Bingoz don’t seem to work. I’m sure there are more, and I’ll post here as I discover them. I know you’re working on items in the rooms, and it is very much appreciated. Still very buggy and hard for me to swallow as a Deluxe Member. Thanks for listening. I’ll keep playing and taking care of the 110 pets I’ve adopted. I have lots more to adopt, but I’ll hold off until more things work properly.
Woah that’s a lot of pets!!! Want to add me as a friend? My username is kendalls6
I’ll send you a request. :) I have many more (about 90 or so) waiting to be adopted. I just need time to do so. I’ve been collecting for a long time, and I love picking out names and decorating the rooms.
It may take quite awhile, you know.
Looks like they’ve fixed these issues. Yay and thanks to the hard-working folks at Ganz! It’s already running much more smoothly than it was!
It says that every item is supposed to be at least represented by a gray box in the rooms but I still have two invisible items, one of which I just purchased two days ago from the estore in the $8 bundle. The items that are invisible are the Minnow Cove and the Inground Lap Pool. I can’t remove these items either but I know they’re there because when I try to place items in their area it’s red and I can still use the inground pool even though it’ invisible.
THANK YOU for the update and for the hard work–no doubt it has been a daunting task, but will be great when it is actually done :) One of my major concerns is not on either list–THE ORANGE ARMY SHIRT which took me years to acquire: it appears as a cattail lamp!!!…also I have concern re: my Pirate Ghost GOLD DOUBLOON in my dock which is a blank space & of course took much effort to earn. (I need to check list for the latter…). Please add these to your list/notify tech if you would–TY!!
That’s a realief I though it would never be solved. Hope it won’t take long
Ganz, When I leave my house for any activity eg: Arcade, Curio Shop, Map of Webkinz…. I don’t have my pet icon, items list or the option to go to any other place. I have to log out and log back in to get to my pet :-( Please can you help with this?
Are you going to make it easier to have the family hearts to fill? The next day they empty. Also I did not get to get all of what I wanted to for 10 year room things will we be able to buy again. I know programing is hard work thank you for that!!!
Yeah, I think the change is too realistic. But they did do their best. Thank you, Webkinz!
It puts me out before I can get in. Like prizes but not the rest.
