Update #283: 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?

 

 

 

 

  • Pet Medallions are a whole new way to get more Webkinz pets, just by playing! Prize pools all around Webkinz World have been updated to include these medallions, including a new prize drop system in the Arcade! Track and manage your Pet Medallion collection in My Pets. Check out our other post today on Webkinz Newz to learn more about this cool new collection system!

 

 

  • While you’re winning prizes around Webkinz World, you may notice a few new ones have been added to the pool, including a Decorative Vase, a Metallic Lake Sign, and a Cookbook Shelf! To make room for these new prizes, we’ve retired a couple of older prizes—the Glass of Lemonade and the Portable Telephone.

 

 

 

  • Do you get goofy over gumdrops? Then you are going to love our NEW Goody Gumdrops game in the Arcade!  Jump and eat gumdrops while watching out for obstacles in this sensational side-scrolling game! There’s even a new trophy to earn the first time you get far into the game!

 

 

  • Visit Daisy Doe in the Clubhouse and click on her to receive an awesome organic food prize every day! We’ve just added a couple of new items to the pool of prizes, along with a new secret recipe for a Savory Fruit Sundae!

 

 

  • Our next Webkinz Shopping SPREE runs from Sunday, June 10th until Monday, June 18th! Log in each day to your Webkinz account on either web or mobile to receive a sweet summer piece of clothing for your pet!

 

 

  • Speaking of SPREE, we’ve just updated the prizes inside the SPREE Shopping Bag! Now each time you open it, you’ll find 3 prizes: a random Mall food item, a random Mall clothing item, and a SPREE Bonus Roll! You’ll also be able to find a few of the former shopping bag prizes in the Outdoor section of the WShop!

 

 

  • You can also find new items in the SPREE Mall to spend your credits on! Next time you reach the end of the game, pick up some Designer Glasses, a Golden Leaf Dining Table, a Golden Leaf Dining Chair, A Golden Leaf Hot Tub, a Dogbeard’s Gold Arcade Unit, or a Perfume Booth! To make room for the new stock, we’ve retired the Giant Zingoz Plushy and the Link’D Arcade Unit.

 

 

  • The 2018 Webkinz Berry Fest starts on Tuesday, June 19th and runs until Thursday, June 28th! Look for berries on the Today’s Activities schedule, the Wheel of YUM, and even floating across your screen! Each berry can either be used to fill up your jam jar collection in Jumbleberry Fields, or you can feed them to your pets for prizes! The Polarberries and Goo-Goo Berries both have updated prize pools!

 

 

  • There will also be a Berry Fest Challenge running during this time! If you missed our Jumbleberry Fields Trophy Challenge, you’re in luck! Once you complete all of the tasks in this year’s Berry Fest Challenge you’ll win a Moonberry Basket, along with a Jumbleberry Fields Trophy!

 

 

  • You’ll want to fill up those jam jars faster because we’ve just updated the prize pools for each berry! Each time you fill up your jars playing Jumbleberry Fields you can choose one of these new prizes! To make room on the preserves shelf, we’ve also retired a few of the older items.

 

 

  • Summer starts in Webkinz World on June 28th! Log in to your Webkinz account on web or on the mobile app to receive a special gift: a Summer Sensation Painting! Also as part of our Summer Sensation celebration, you’ll find the Super Wheel available for a spin on June 28th!

 

  • We’re having a Wacky Weekend event running from June 29th to July 1st! If you reach a score of 11,500 while playing WackyER Zingoz during that weekend, you’ll win some fabulously formal Wacky attire for your pet!

 

 

  • If you like flexing your fashion sense, you’re going to love our next trophy challenge! Play the SuperModelz Trophy Challenge from July 2nd to 6th! Once you complete all of the tasks, you’ll win a SuperModelz Trophy!

 

 

  • Speaking of challenges, Deluxe Members will have their own special challenge to complete during the month of July. Once all of the tasks are finished, they’ll be awarded a Candy Striped Dresser!

 

 

  • Deluxe Members also receive a monthly gift box containing their choice of an item from the NEW Cozy Condo room theme, along with a special piece of clothing that can’t be found anywhere else! July’s Deluxe clothing item is a Solar Flare Dress!

 

 

  • The 2018 Marshmallow Collection event starts on July 1st and runs for the whole month! Send your friends daily requests for marshmallows and you’ll earn the 5 milestone prizes along the way! You can keep collecting prizes as many times as you want until the end of July!

 

 

  • Looking to throw the ultimate summer party for your pet and their friends? The Summer Party Packs are available once again the WShop!

 

 

  • 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, that sounds like lots of fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!

 

Take care, Kinzville!

    I LOVE all the updates, although I’m not a huge fan of the medallions yet, they seem too difficult to earn. Berry fest and the wacky celebration are going to be great. Thank you Ganz for continuing to better Webkinz and the new game is amazing. I can tell a lot of work was put into it. I do hope one day in the future some older areas of webkinz world are updated (I have issues getting zumwhere to work correctly, a lot of items of mine don’t work since webkinz X and the adventure park could use some new quests) but for now i’m really excited about having completely new prizes for spree and jumbleberry fields. As well as an amazing new game to play. Thanks for all your work!

      @sunnypinksky, BTW, nice user name! The new game is fun. I don’t get far with it it though. Maybe I’m just slow to catch on! I agree with you on updating some other things. Everytime I see an update, I rush to my Alpine Gondola Ride and my Origami Waterwheel and my Pyro Performance Stage. (Not updated.) From the many, many replies on updates, there’s likely to be a power surge when the TVs get fixed! LOL. I would really like to see the PRIZE CLAW prizes updated. PLEASE. It’s gotten to where I don’t even play it, or Dunk the Zingoz, or Jellybean Challenge. It’s disappointing when these are assigned as a special activity for the POTM. I am excited about the new prizes for Jumbleberry Fields (even though I never did get the tractor); and the new prizes for SPREE, and the whole revamp of the SPREE prize bag! That’s my grandson’s favorite game. so I know he’ll be excited also!

    This all sounds awesome guys. You have been very busy! Thanks for all the new ideas.

    The wheel prizes, marshmallow collection prizes, new spree prizes, and new jumbleberry fields prizes are amazing. Wonderful prizes. I look forward to winning them.

    The New games are hard to play and they don’t award much kinzcash. I hope the next game Webkinz gives us is easier and awards kinzcash faster. Jumbleberry Blast, for example, is a great newer game that Webkinz added.

    Oh my goodness, look at it all! This is such an exciting update, and all the upcoming things look so cool! I can’t wait to check out the Pet Medallions and that new game! I’m sure it’s gonna be a lot of fun! (Thank you for not making it Deluxe <3) The new prizes on the wheels, prize pool, in the SPREE mall, and Jumbleberry Fields are all great! I can’t wait to get into the mall and shop till I drop. XD I also haven’t been playing Jumbleberry Fields much lately, but those new prizes really encourage me to play more! Ohh and I can’t wait to see what that Summer Sensation painting is! I love paintings in WW! ^-^ The more the merrier! Ohh my goodnesss and I love that Solar Flare dress! =O Clothing is my jam, man. I love clothes. I might have to get Deluxe or check out the trading room for that one! OHH AND THE MARSHMALLOW COLLECTION yess! Those prizes! I love them!! I mean, they aren’t themed, but I don’t even really care, cause those look so nice and useful to use in rooms. I absolutely love that space/tree picture thing. I don’t even know what to call it, but it’s awesome. XD Thanks so much for this amazing update! You guys have definitely been busy creating prizes and planning events.. everything is so exciting! =D

    Mayor, I have a few requests that I would like you and the other members of the Webkinz team to consider. First, I love how you divided up the dock for clothes into the different parts. Could you also do this for the furniture, like separate the: beds, garden items, dressers, kitchen items, seasonal items, couches, etc. I have a lot of items in my dock and this would help keep me organized when decorating my rooms, trading, or mailing; and would benefit lots of other Webkinz members as well. Also, could you all take into consideration that the home room map, we could alter the sizes of the already bought rooms: like if you bought a small but need a bigger size, use the difference between the bigger size room and the small room cost, as a ‘renovation’ fee. I’ve bought many small rooms in the beginning back in 09-10′, and now that I have nearly 50 or so pets, I try to do a dorm style type room scheme, as well as maintain a classroom or 3, a garden, garage, front yard, dressing room, locker room, kitchen/grocery store–in addition to the pets room. Lastly, I believe there is a glitch in the arcade section of Webkinz. Many times while in the arcade (you have to put the pet/dock/map bar down to scroll through all the games) I will be unable to pull up the pet/dock/map bar, or even choose a game because it’s stuck–requiring me to x-out the window completely. This is very aggravating because if i have to get off of Webkinz every time I go to the arcade, it will be redundant. Thank you for your time, and I hope you take my suggestions/requests into consideration, and plan to solve this glitching problem. —-Corky10angel

      I definitely agree with the room resizing idea! I’ve had my account since January ’08 and I recently came back to the game after taking a few years off. I want to totally revamp my house and have large dorm rooms for my pets, but without the option to delete a room or resize it, I would be stuck with a bunch of medium sized rooms right in the middle of my house! I also wish we had the option to move the locations of doors or remove them entirely. I like to keep my home in a grid pattern, but certain rooms (like my dance studio) are being ruined by having a door smack in the middle. I hope they use these suggestions

    • sunnypinksky says:

      Great ideas! I agree! I also experience the “arcade glitch” for some time now. I think one of the most desired updates to webkinz is the removal of the doors, but I’m not sure how they would be able to do it. With the way the programming works, your pet enters the room by standing in the doorway. It would probably take a LOT of work to change that, but I really hope one day they can make it happen! :)

    • puppies4me says:

      @corky10angel, I agree 100% about the furiture dock. I’d like to see the items separated into the same catagories as they are in the WShop. That way, we would already be familiar with them. As far as the rooms go, I’d just like doors to be an option, like windows. We could even have different styles of doors and have them as challenge prizes to match the windows. Pets could just pop into rooms the way they do when you adopt one. And I bet the designers could program doors to let pets pass through. **And I know that our suggestions do actually get read and considered. So, thank you for reply to the report! :-) @Dixiecup, please let me know if I am wrong here. I admire you for knowing so much about progamming and for offering explanations as to why some things just can’t be done. :-)

    I love all of the new items. I wish that I could get the Candy Striped Dresser & the Solar Flare Dress. Pittiesrule

  8. Springshimmer says:

    Oh my goodness, all of these look exciting!

  9. 1Emerald1 says:

    This is all so awesome I don’t know where to begin. Wonderful new prizes in so many places! The solar Flare dress is gorgeous, & I’m happy to have another shot at the darling Wacky clothing. I’m most excited for the Marshmallow Collection event, however. I know right where every one of those items is going to go!

    WoW! You guys at WW home office must be tired, because that’s a mountain of new stuff! I’m tired just from reading it all! But happy! Tired but happy! Thanks for working so hard to keep things fresh!
