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?
- The Adoption Center has a whole new look! The always-lovely Ms. Birdy has simplified the process for both adopting a new pet and for opening a new Webkinz account! In response to popular demand, players will now have the option to start a new account without adopting a free pet. Watch for these Adoption Center updates to also appear soon on the Webkinz mobile app!
- Keeping your pet clean will once again be lots of fun now that the bath and sink activities have been updated! When your pet hops into a bathtub you will now be able to see that same bathtub in the activity, along with a number of other fun fixes. Pet grooming with the sink activity also has a whole new look and updates to make it easier and entertaining to use! Our next update to the Webkinz mobile app in the coming weeks will include all of these activity improvements!
- Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Don’t forget to log in to get your 2017 Thanksgiving Gift Basket, filled with wonderful prizes that are sure to find you feeling thankful!
- DELUXE MEMBERS: Starting in December, the It’s Fun to be Young Gift Box will be replaced with the NEW Cozy Condo Gift Box! Each month, you’ll be able to choose an item from this cool new cozy theme!
- Along with the Cozy Condo Gift Box, Deluxe Members will also receive their monthly special piece of clothing that can’t be found anywhere else! This month’s Deluxe outfit is a Short-Sleeved Jumpsuit!
- Also for Deluxe Members: Your next Deluxe Monthly Challenge begins on December 1st! When you complete all of the tasks, you’ll win a Chrome Sparkle Car!
- December is also the month to collect Candy Canes! Visit your Map of Kinzville each day during the month of December and ask friends to send you Candy Canes! You’ll earn some fabulous flashy Christmas furniture along the way!
- Speaking of Christmas, the Countryside Christmas theme will be returning to the WShop during the month of December! We’ve also added four new items to the theme and retired one! Visit the WShop on December 1st to see what’s new!
- If you have the Webkinz mobile app, you’ll also find the Home for the Holidays theme available in the Mobile Zone for a limited time! Make sure you visit the mobile WShop before the end of the month to pick up this happy holiday theme! Also, watch out for two items that won’t be returning!
- SantaKinz returns to the Clubhouse on December 1st! Your pet can sit on his lap and tell him which gift they want to receive on Christmas Day! Afterwards you’ll receive a candy cane and a postcard from SantaKinz himself! Don’t delay—SantaKinz heads off to the North Pole on December 24th!
- If you’re looking to host a holiday party this season, visit the WShop and pick up one of our Christmas Party Packs! They’re only available until the end of December!
- The Countdown to Christmas begins on December 14th! Visit Ms. Birdy in the SantaKinz Room of the Clubhouse each day until Christmas to receive a happy holiday prize!
- For those players who celebrate the season of Hanukah, you’ll find a NEW Wooden Menorah in the WShop during December! We’re also bringing back the Brass Menorah and the Glass Menorah for the whole month!
- Sophie Stockwell is coming to the Kinzville Park! Watch for her to make an appearance from November 23rd to November 26th! Each day she’ll be giving out a Coupon Gift Box. Inside, you’ll receive a random WShop coupon worth up to 90% on any KinzCash item!
- 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!
Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!
Take care, Kinzville!
*Gasps* cool update! Well, the adoption center and the bath and sink updates aren’t the greatest, but it could be worse! I like them still! :) Yay, I can’t wait until Thanksgiving! the basket is really pretty. Awesome, I have my fun to be young theme finished! (Except the Dex Dangerous stickers- which I honestly don’t like Dex Dangerous really at all- sorry for his fans!) And an extra box in my dock, too! The collect candy canes event is really cool- I love the furniture! I have the Countryside Christmas theme- well, most of it. I’ll get some! :D I am so glad I have mobile- the home for the holidays theme is awesome. SANTAKINZ IS COMING TO TOWN!!! Yahoo, I look forward to this every webkinz Christmas! It’s so cute. :) Yay, party packs! Just to let you know, house party packs never work for me. :S I love countdown to Christmas, it’s so cool! I don’t celebrate Hanuka, but I still like the menorahs! Yippee, coupons! I have soooo many in my dock that I should be using, I just don’t buy expensive things from the W-shop too often, unless a new theme or new things come out. I wonder if I have all of the Kinzcash themes? I’ll have to check. Last, YAY! I love the wheel updates!! :D CHRISTMASTIME IS AWESOME!!!
oh, the Chrome Sparkle Car looks awesome!! THANKS :D
Thank You! and Merry X-mas, Happy Thanksgiving and Hanukah!!
Yeah CandyCAnes!!
Wow, I am so excited!!!!! I am especially excited for the cozy condo theme because I didn’t really like the fun to be young theme and never even opened any of my boxes (except the first one) I wonder if I can trade them? I never looked because I don’t really trade except with my family. I don’t celebrate Hanuka but I wish Webkinz would come out with a few more Hanuka related items other than different style menorahs. They could make dreidels and potato latke plates or something. I am most excited for December because I will finally adopt my snow soft kitty!!!! I think I will name her Grace.
YES YES YES YES *tosses latkes int he air*
Love love LOVE latkes!!! I eat them with applesauce- don’t know if that is kosher but it sure is GOOD!!!
Me too! The last time my family had latkes (which was quite recently!) I ate like 9 of them XD Applesauce and potatoes are definitely kosher.
why is farm fresh pumpkin only giving 25 hunger boost now and watermelon only giving 25 also and the corn is only giving 15
all the farm fresh food points have been reduced – please fix – it is going to be hard to feed all my pets now
Thank you for posting. I noticed that the boost values are all wonky for the foods today. It is making it really difficult to fill my pets because I had boost values memorized for certain foods (i.e. mac & cheese +45, pumpkin +40, etc.) Hopefully the tech team is aware of this and will soon adjust it back to normal. I would hate for this to be permanent. :(
its my favorite time of year! i am SO excited!!!!
Looking forward to all the fun holiday events – Thank you!! I’m especially looking forward to Ms Birdy’s Countdown to Christmas, as I do every year!! While the updates to sinks and tubs look great, they no longer further the Family Score. There’s no point to using them otherwise, so hopefully this is just a temporary glitch.
They do, indeed, give Family Score. However, you will have to interact with the items — you can’t just open the interface and then close it again.
Yes but not all sinks ,tubs, showers give points. New Fairykinz shower gives no points . SOMEDAY I do have close to 3 MILLION points but less than 1/2 my pets are showing. I WISH for us with LOTS of pets we could have a BOOK with pets we can choose from and a number to keep track when doing pet care. Like pet 1 to pet 137 and so on I wanted to play with my elephants today and couldn’t find them . I wanted to wear the outfit that is going to be on the WHEEL to show the boots and skirt to another friend . LAST YEAR we were PROMISED more REWARDS for Pet Care Room map I use the symbol to find these room easier <3 . We were promised new rewards PLEASE DO THIS PLEASE !!
We said that additional Family Score rewards would be added when more people were closer to the end. There’s still only a relative handful that have completed the current available prizes.
I am just now beginning to catch on how the Family score works and to use it to it’s full benefit. I am only sitting at the 300000 mark. I have no idea how others are getting to the 1 million mark so effortlessly. It has taken me a full year to get to this point and I have been quite diligent.
Hi tinygma. I have over 300 pets on my account, so I too sometimes have trouble finding them (or remembering their names!) . When you open the window to change your pet, look for the search tab (there’s a magnifying glass beside it). If you type “horse” it will show you all your horses. Or you can type in the first three letters of you pets name, and it will show you all of pets with those letters in it’s name. Hope that helps with at least one of your issues! BTW, I too have almost 2 million points and can’t wait for new prizes!
Oh, OK. Thanks for letting me know – I appreciate it! I guess I would have eventually figured it out (or maybe not, xD!!). Perhaps you guys can do a tutorial, or some such, by way of announcing this new way of using bathtubs and sinks to add to our Family Scores and/or fulfill Pet Requests that ask for tubs/sinks.
Cool update! :D I’m especially excited for all those Christmas events! I’m a bit disappointed that the Deluxe challenge for December doesn’t have a Christmas prize, though, even though it is pretty cool. Also, I’m curious to see how the adoption center is different…I wonder what they mean by ‘simplified the process’. I might just have to go adopt the pet I was planning on adopting this month sooner than I originally anticipated! XD
Also, I was wondering, if my Deluxe membership expires in early December, will I still get the gift box and estore points on the 1st? And if not, will I get it when I renew my membership? (Since I’m planning on buying one soon so that it will renew the day mine expires). I don’t really want to miss out on it, heheh!
If it expires in December, you will not receive a box or points on the 1st, as you would have received it as soon as you signed up for Deluxe the previous December. You will receive your box/points as soon as you renew.
Okay, thanks for answering my question, Sally! :)
Lots of Christmas updates! Can’t wait to see all the new items
