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!
Loveeeeee! So excited for Cozy Condo theme! December will be an awesome month this year!
Awesome! Love the collection prizes! :)
The change to bathing means that when my pet asks for a bath it does not count. I tried three different tubs and my pet still thinks he’s stinky.
Try using the soap and other bath items in order for it to count. You can no longer just hop into the tub and click done to get credit for giving your pet a bath. Remember, if you took a bath and didn’t use soap, your parents wouldn’t think you’d taken a proper bath either, now would they?
Hahaha, That’s true, Steve!
Hi Sally! I looked this up to be sure I wasn’t confused. LOL. According to what I found, Hanukkah has at least 13 contemporary spellings, with Hanuka being listed as being used only 0.9% The most commonly used variations are Hanukkah at 48.6%, with Chanukah coming in second at 33.4%. I just thought maybe you’d like to know. >{^;^}<
Yay! Love it! Most of all, I love that Webkinz brought back the Countryside Christmas theme and the Home for the Holidays is adorable! Thanks Webkinz!
Hello!!! My friend’s account got banned since she’s been in the kinzchat area ! She is freaking out and apparently many in the kinzchat area had their account permanently banned for no reason… What does she have to do ?
Your friend will need to contact webkinzsupport@ganz.com
She sent a mail to webkinz support and still no answers… She’s been on webkinz since 2008 and never had a problem like this ! She can’t even get her thanksgiving basket because of these problems….
There is a major problem with my Asian account. When I try to feed a paet some food it logs out. Please fix this before you leave for the weekend. Thank you very much!
I noticed that the hungry value for food has been dramatically reduced too. An apple use to fill up hungry 32 points but is now only worth 12 which is very frustrating too. Hopefully they fix both issues before the weekend.
An apple wouldn’t fill YOU up, would it? Try feeding them a bigger meal, like a burger, some spaghetti, or some pancakes!
This major problem started with this update. It continues with USA, European, and Asian accounts. The cache and cookies have been cleared. The pet has usually been to treadmill, trampoline, pool, sink, bathtub, and then fed. I feed WShop ingredient foods to the pets. When I log back in, the pet is sitting in the bathtub. The pet was not in the bathtub when the system crashed. Please fix this ASAP!!!
Looking forward to getting the chrome sparkle car and adding it to my collection of cars.
WOW! Dear Mayor Quack, Every time I think you can not top yourself in an update, you do! Thank you for making December in WW the only place I actually want to be! A word about Miss Birdy: she is so sweet to all of our pets when they visit her in the clubhouse. She always has kind things to say, wise advice, and a even a little gift. She is just wonderful, and since you are the mayor, I figured you would want to know. Also, this is a good time to tell you that Sophie Stockwell is adorable and quite charming–she always lets the pets know when something new is coming to the e-store, and sometimes she has little gifts for them, too. (I still would like to know how she manages to stand in those shoes all day, but we can save that for after the holidays!) My pets will be thrilled to know that SantaKinz is coming! I’m pretty excited about that, too. As well as the new challenge, new Deluxe theme (I love it! Great job, designers!), and the Candy Cane Collection. Also, I do a lot of pet grooming (both virtual pet and real pets!), so I’m sure the update on the sinks and bathtubs will be a lot of new fun. If I left anything out, it is only because this update was so voluminous I’m going to need to read it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything! Thank you again. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Miss Birdy, Sophie Stockwell, and everyone at Ganz.
Can’t log on to mobile from my Android device since the update…
Really? I have an Android and it works perfectly fine. Hey, I have the app, if you need anything I can get it for you!
