Update #273: What’s New!

 

Hoo-hoo Kinzville! It’s me, your mayor—Dr. Quincy Quack! I’m here again to tell you all about what’s new in Webkinz World today! Let get started, shall we?

 

 

 

 

  • There’s something NEW for players just joining Webkinz! After creating an account, new players will visit an Adoption Center Clubhouse room, complete with Ms. Birdy! Along with a new tutorial, they will receive their choice from 1 of 3 themed rooms to help them get started! Also, the pet gift boxes will now be awarded once the player completes a simple pet request.

 

 

 

  • Look for some NEW prizes the next time you take your pet for recess at the Kinzville Academy! You’ll find a new assortment with each activity, just waiting to be won! You might also find some fun new food items in your packed lunch afterwards! For more information, check out our earlier Webkinz Newz articles about the New Merry Go Round Prize, the New Buried Treasure Prizes, and the New Recess Food!

 

 

  • A new Acorn Collection Event is coming to Webkinz World September 1st and runs until September 30th! Visit your map of Kinzville during those dates and click the acorn collection icon. You can then send daily requests to your friends for acorns! When you collect each milestone amount of acorns, you’ll win a prize! You can check out what you’ll win this year in our earlier Webkinz Newz sneak peek story!

 

 

  • Catch the School Bus and win! From Friday, September 1st to Friday, September 8th, watch for the floating school bus! When you click on it you’ll win a random prize from some of our previous school giveaway events! And this floaty fun is just the beginning in September!

 

 

  • A new Apple Picking event is coming soon! Watch for floating apples on Webkinz World and the Webkinz mobile app from Saturday, September 9th until Saturday, September 16th! When you click on one, you’ll receive a random apple-themed prize, including the chance for some NEW Apple Farmer outfits items!

 

 

  • Speaking of thing floating in the fall, our latest Fall Fest event returns the week of Friday, September 22nd until Saturday, September 30th! Click on floating leaves to receive even more Apple Farm themed items! Keep watching Webkinz Newz for more information about this exciting upcoming event!

 

 

  • Don’t forget that during Fall Fest you can visit the WShop or the Ganz eStore to pick up cases of Fall Fest Soda to feed your pet and win prizes! Once again, the prize pool of items will be unique from the floating Fall Fest prizes, but still feature items that will work together to make the ultimate Apple Farm!

 

 

  • My next Meet the Mayor event runs from Monday, September 18th to Sunday, September 24th! Visit the Kinzville Park during that week and click on me, Dr. Quack, to receive a gift box containing a random special prize! Stay tuned here to Webkinz Newz for the official announcement!

 

 

  • DELUXE MEMBERS: Your next Deluxe Monthly Challenge begins on September 1st! When you complete all of the tasks, you’ll win a Classic Waitress Dress AND the ALL NEW Diner Dishwasher!

 

 

  • At the start of each month, Deluxe Members receive a gift box containing some special prizes, including a unique piece of clothing that can’t be collected from anywhere else! The special piece of clothing in this September’s gift box is a Pop Princess outfit!

 

 

  • We’ve updated the Dock to now sort all items within the tabs from A to Z! Use each tab to help filter down the item types, or see everything listed together in the AZ tab!


  • If you love spinning wheels and winning, you’ll be excited to learn that we’ve once again updated the prizes on the Wheel of Wow for web and mobile, along with the Wheel of Deluxe!

 

 

We’ve also fixed more features and items! To see all of the items we’ve fixed each week, you can check out our list by clicking here.

 

Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!

 

Take care, Kinzville!

    i cant collect farm produce or foods from other things like the vending or trees. doesnt work when clicked on and my pets are depleting hunger levels very fast also. i also dont like the dock it is too much clicking to find items. i liked the giggle my pet did before the kiss is weird sounding.

  2. Inkblot says:

    Those are cute rooms for the new members. Also I’m looking forward to fall fest and apple fest. I’m glad they can be done on mobile, it would be cool if we could collect acorns on mobile too, but I’m sure that’s coming.

  3. Inkblot says:

    Hmm… I think I liked the old doc better too. Especially for the clothing section. But I have so many clothes in my doc that it’s hard to get to the ones at the end anyway… if you change it back, how about having a mini tab where we could switch between clothing types? This would be nice in the decorations section too. If you don’t change back, you could at least make a tab so we can skip to the end and go backwards if we want, or search between certain letters. Thanks for listening Ganz!

      What I DO like about the new doc is that clothing items that go together, like costumes, are all next to each other, provided that they are named the same thing.

    Come on ganz I trade clothes how am I supposed to trade when I can’t get to my stuff!

    I agree, terribly system! A much better update would allow us to arrange our dock ourselves. It is so frustrating to search, search & search. Sorry Dr. Quack, so not good. Are you running for reelection?

  6. kittenhideout says:

    This is how the dock used to be. I suppose in a perfect world, we could choose how we would like it sorted. This way, alphabetically, we can more easily find the matches to outfits and rooms which is especially handy (for me) with holiday themes. However, the other way let us mix-match more & use our imagination. There are times when I am searching that I like 1 way over the other, but it is sometimes one way and sometimes the other. I suppose, everyone just can not be pleased no matter how it is sorted.

    The white water rafting ride is working! Yahoo!!! AND- it goes at warp speed! lol I love it! Thank you!!

    Also, for anyone troubled by pet requests-your pet won’t ask for anything if they’re asleep, or if you’ve filled their heart up! (a filled heart will also give you a kinzcash boost, so it’s definitely worth having! Try boosting it with decorating, exercise, and games!)

  9. pedagent says:

    While I do agree that the new dock system has been frustrating for A-Z and most sections (Specialty items like gift boxes and coupons, for example, I can’t see wanting sorted alphabetically), I do really appreciate it for clothing. Finding a complete clothing set (Space suit, Charmed Forest, or anything, really), used to require sorting through the entire section, but with the new system, it’s nicely sorted together. Perhaps it could be regulated to just clothing? Sorry this new update has been met with such frustration! I’m really looking forward to the fall events!

    Ganz comes off as a money hungry company, always coming out with new things to make money while ignoring already existing problems. I finally was able to get all my stars in Alyssa’s Challenge and still haven’t been able to claim the prize and am unable to complete strength classes because it’s SO glitchy. There’s too many problems to even type out. It’s ridiculous. Webkinz used to be so fun but people will stop playing if things aren’t fixed. I’m sick of e-mailing customer support every week to report another issue and sometimes I don’t even receive replies! I’ve only began playing again last year and don’t think I’ll continue to play much longer unless things improve. Sorry, Ganz.
