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?
- We’ve made it easier to find things in your Dock by adding sub-tabs to some sections! If you keep lots of items in your Dock, you’ll now be able to find specific pieces of clothing and decorations much faster! Look for more sub-tabs coming to other sections of the Dock in the near future!
- The 2017 Fall Clothing Line has arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet! Visit PJ Collie or the mobile WShop to find the latest fall fashion trends for your pets! To make room for the new stock, PJ has also retired Spring Clothing Line
- While you’re visiting the KinzStyle Outlet, you’ll also be able to pick up some Halloween costumes! While there are some returning favorites like the Knight’s costume, the Pink Cowgirl outfit and the Firefighter equipment, there are also some new additions! You’ll definitely want to pick up the terrific Toadstool Fairy outfit and the delightful Banana Split costume! These costumes are only available for a limited time!
- Speaking of Halloween costumes, watch for the floating Jack O’Lantern to appear from Friday, October 20th to Tuesday, October 31st! When you click on it, you’ll receive a random Halloween costume prize! This year’s prize pool includes outfit items from our Haunted Hotel theme and the popular Dragon Costume! You might also find some new prizes from the new Pumpkin King and Pumpkin Queen costume sets!
- While you’re shopping for Halloween costumes, don’t forget to visit the WShop to collect pieces from our NEW Haunted Castle theme! This fan-voted winner is a haunted version of our rare Medieval theme, adding a terrific terrifying touch to your Halloween room decorating! It’s only available during the month of October, so gather up your KinzCash and start collecting soon!
- If you missed last year’s Halloween theme and you have the Webkinz mobile app, you’re in luck! The Freaky Forest theme is returning exclusively to the mobile WShop for the month of October! You’ll love collecting this fantastic freaky Halloween theme!
- There’s also a special surprise in this year’s Halloween challenge! Once you complete all of the tasks, you’ll win a Happy Halloween Sofa—a standout fan favorite piece from one of the other voted-on Halloween room themes!
- Don’t forget that the ghost returns to the Reading Room in the Clubhouse from Friday, October 20th through Halloween on Tuesday, October 31st for our 2017 Trick or Treat event! Click on the ghost to collect 1 of 12 classic candies. The grand prize this year for collecting them all is a Spooky Stained Glass Window!
- During the month of October you’ll also find our Halloween Party Packs available in the WShop! Just the thing for throwing the perfect petrifying party!
- DELUXE MEMBERS: Your next Deluxe Monthly Challenge begins on October 1st! When you complete all of the tasks, you’ll win a Halloween-inspired Haunted Tower!
- 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 October’s gift box is a Grunge Rock Outfit!
- Also, next month’s Deluxe Day is on Thursday, October 12th! If you have a Deluxe Membership and you visit the Today’s Activities schedule on that day, you’ll be able to collect October’s prize: a Pilgrim Scarecrow!

Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!
Take care, Kinzville!
So many really cool things coming up in October! I love the Halloween couch, it is really great!!!
This is one of the best updates ever. Thanks SO much for the new dock tabs, now everyone can choose their best way to search through their docks. The whole month of October is clearly going to be awesome! All of the prizes & gifts look wonderful. Thanks for adding that cute Halloween couch, now everyone who voted for that theme will be happy too! I’m SO happy that the fabulous Fireplace Room Divider by JRZ2000 is going to be available, I’ve been waiting (impatiently) for it. Also, LOVE the ghost stained glass window! And the 2 new Halloween costumes are adorbs!
PS I just sent a friend a package, thanks for the new Halloween messages, so much fun stuff!
And finally, a huge shout-out to my friend alabaster, thanks so much for sending me the adorable Toadstool Fairy costume! I miss my deluxe so much & would not have been able to get it myself. You seriously ROCK!
That’s alabastered. Oops.
AAAHHHH, I LOVE Halloween on Webkinz! The toadstool and pumpkin costumes are so cute!! And you guys actually made that couch — that’s so awesome! I’ve wanted that couch ever since you first revealed that theme option!! I can’t wait to get that tower, too! Now I’m even more impatient for October to arrive than I already was! Also, that fireplace is so cool — congrats jrz2000!
The new stuff looks great and the breakdown in the dock sections is fantastic! I have a new issue since the update though…when I use the map to go to a different room a large box comes up that says video challenge and I am unable to do anything except leave WW by X-ing out the whole thing. It only happens in Chrome. I don’t have the same problem on Firefox or on the mobile app. I just thought I’d mention it here in case anyone else has the same problem. This just started today, Wed. Sept. 27
Yes – I’m having the same problem – can’t change rooms with out the Video challenge box and it freezing. Running ad block and cleared cache 2X – please fix
Halloween is my favorite time on Webkinz. Can’t wait to get started! And-the mega fireplace divider is awesome!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the new tabs in our pet’s dock! ^o^ Makes finding things SO much easier! Oh and by the way, I love the cute little blooping noise when I use the dock! Lol!
THIS UPDATE IS AMAZING!!!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou for adding subtabs! The costumes are awesome, and the clothing, too! I’m totally stocking up. :D I love floaty clickies, that’ll be so fun. I actually really like the haunted castle things! And I’m really glad the freaky forest theme is back. Happy Halloween was my favorite, I cannot wait to get the couch!! :) I remember the ghost from last year, and I remember the prize, too. So cool. I’ll be having a lot of party packs this October! :) The deluxe monthly challenge gift is so cool, and spooky. ;) I’m actually not a big fan of the Grunge Rock Outfit! Maybe I’ll change my mind once it’s on the pet though. I looove the Pilgrim Scarecrow! I’m happy with the trophy challenges, I collect trophies. I love spree events, too! :) The mega modern fireplace is AWESOME. I cannot wait to get it!! And lastly, the wheel prizes are great!
Goodness, that was a long comment, the biggest I’ve ever typed! XD
If sub tabs was the plan all along you should have told us instead of making everyone crazy! If you added the sub tabs because you listened to the players——Big yahoo!! I like the sub tab idea alot!! AND- I love Halloween in Webkinz world! Will be a fantastic month and thank you for the dock fix!
There are sub-tabs on the mobile app and the plan has always been to unify the two :)
SOO much fun stuff going on with this update!! October’s my favorite month, and I can tell it’s going to be such an amazing one here in Kinzville!!
#1 You are all just AWESOME! Thank you so very much for all of the fun things you plan during the months. The events are so much fun. #2 I just love the stained glass windows, nicely done! #3 Another feature that would be helpful, but perhaps would involve too much programming, would be for a way to find ALL of our items. For instance, I may have over 100 rooms and I can’t find my ice cream bed, or my rockin robin jukebox. It would be awesome to be able to know which room I put it in, if there was a master list of all of our items. Anyway, thank you again for all that you imaginative Webkinz folks come up with, for keeping us entertained and yes, addicted! :)
