Update #302: What’s New!

 

Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to tell you about all of the new things we have happening in Kinzville over the next few weeks! Let’s take a look!

 

 

  • The 1-click update functionality for gardening has now also been added to our dispensers! If you have a dispenser in one of your pet’s rooms, click on it and you’ll see the harvested food drop right into your Dock! It’s delightfully delicious!

 

 

  • We’ve also completed our TV functionality update! Now when you click on one, it will turn on and the screen will animate.  To watch the full complement of classic Webkinz TV shows, look for them on the TVs in the Clubhouse. If you find a TV that we missed, let us know in the comments below!

 

 

  • I will be hosting a new Meet the Mayor event at the Kinzville Park from Sunday, November 24th until Saturday, November 30th! Come by and see me each day during that week to pick up a gift box containing 1 random thank you gift from me! I’ve added a couple of new prizes this time around, including a Mayor Stockwell KinzCash Coin and a Kinzville Sport Jersey! Hope to see you there!

 

 

  • The US Thanksgiving holiday arrives next week on Thursday, November 28th! Make sure you log in to your Webkinz account that day on web, desktop, or mobile to receive your 2019 Thanksgiving Basket! It’s filled with some fun and delicious prizes you’re sure to be thankful for!

 

 

  • December 1st is the start of Christmas season at the WShop! Look for the return of the Christmas Cabin room theme along with some new additions! On the Webkinz mobile app, you’ll find the returning Countryside Christmas theme! And once again, you’ll find three returning Christmas Trees to help make the festive season fun!

 

 

  • Another way to celebrate the holiday season is by lighting the menorah! Throughout the month of December you’ll find 3 menorahs in the WShop. The Ornate and Wooden Menorahs are returning from previous years, while the Painted Glass Menorah is ALL NEW!

 

 

  • Also returning throughout the month of December is our Snowy Retriever Puppy Pet Medallion event! If you didn’t quite finish collecting your medallions last year, you’re in luck! Click on the floating medallion when you see it appear across your screen to add it into your collection!

 

 

  • Although it was skipped last year, our annual Candy Cane Collection Event returns once again on December 1st!  Visit your Map of Kinzville each day and ask friends for candy canes! For each milestone you hit, you’ll earn some refreshing new prizes! And if you complete your collection before the end of the month, you can start collecting all over again!

 

 

  • During the month of December, don’t forget to visit SantaKinz in the Clubhouse! Once again you’ll find a lineup of pets waiting to tell him what they want for Christmas! There are 3 new options again this year, so have your pet hop up on his knee and whisper their Christmas wish into his ear!

 

 

  • In the second half of December, you’ll want to make sure you return to the SantaKinz room in the Clubhouse for our annual Countdown to Christmas event! Look for Ms. Birdy starting on Saturday, December 14th! Each day until Christmas, she’ll be giving away one fantastically-festive prize!

 

 

  • Another Wacky Weekend awaits! Running from Friday, December 6th until Sunday, December 8th, the Wacky’s Bullseye Batter Trophy Challenge returns! Complete all of the tasks before the weekend ends and you’ll earn a Wacky Bunch of Balloons along with the Wacky Bullseye Batter Trophy!

 

 

  • Friday, December 13th is our next Deluxe Day! If you’re a Deluxe Member, you’ll be able to play lots of bonus events on the Today’s Activities schedule! And while you’re there, don’t forget to pick up your special prize: a Sculpted Glass Vase!

 

 

  • If you’re a Deluxe Member, you know that you get a special bonus box each month. Inside is a box of random Pet Medallions, a box that lets you choose any item from the Cozy Condo theme, and a special piece of clothing that you can’t get anywhere else! The Deluxe clothing item for the month of December is a Plaid Robe!

 

 

  • A new monthly challenge arrives for Deluxe Members on December 1st! Complete all of the tasks and you’ll get a Toy Drum Table and a Chocolate Candy Cane, which will go great with your NEW Toy Store!

 

 

  • We’ve once again updated the prizes on several of our daily wheels! See what you can win on the Wheel of Wow, the mobile Wheel of Wow, the Wheel of Deluxe, and the Vacation Wheel!

 

 

I hope everyone found this helpful. Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for all the latest updates about how we’re making Webkinz World the best it can be!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mayor Sophie Stockwell

 

 

Mayor of Kinzville

    Excited for the new painted glass items, menorah and vase!! Saving up tokens for the window now. I can’t wait to see what might come up next along the lines of this theme.

  2. Amygirl113 says:

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU on making the dispensers 1-click too. My old fingers that have some arthritis thank you too. I’m a collector of the dispensers and have alot of them and saving one click per dispenser is a big help. Thank you so much. And love all the news things you’ve added. I love WW and it’s a big part of this retired gal’s day. Thank you.

    • Auntruthie309 says:

      Agree 10000%, Amygirl. I’m retired too, collector of dispensers, and one less click will help my fingers tremendously. Thank you, Ganz. Love WW and thanks for all you do for us.

    It’s great that you guys fixed the TVs, but when is the “Invite A Friend” function going to get fixed? I’m dying to show off my house!! =D

  4. My4Sweeties says:

    If you already have your snowy retriever from last year, you can collect the medallions anyway and do the exchanges for any pet medallions! That is what I will be doing!

  5. kaye10 says:

    HURRAY FOR ALL & ANYTHING NEW!!!!! LOVE the vase –very cool ;) but especially, ty for listening to our requests to get more of the “limited opportunity” pet medallions! mine need to be a 10 or zero or else I am very irritated by their status, again ty!!! best, k.

  6. KarenaJ says:

    I don’t like how the dispensers omit the graphic of the item popping out when depositing items into your dock, just like the new gardening method. With gardening you see the item going into your dock. These dispensers now skip that. It might seem silly, but I like to see the item I’ve collected. It’s easier to keep track and more satisfying.

    • WildboysAcademy says:

      See, now I got excited by your comment and rushed to log in and test this glorious concept of no item forming in mid air and dropping. Items just appearing magically in the dock. Nope. My dispensers do like the new gardening…item appears at the point of click, hovers, then dives into the dock. Maybe yours just happens super-fast? Personally, I am just fine with ‘keeping track’ of things by seeing the numbers by them already in the dock. (I am less fine with how, once again, wheel prizes I want are on the mobile. Arghhh)

    • kitterztoo says:

      If you’re using the mobile app version and not the web version, you won’t get any graphics. It just appears in your dock. If you use the New tab of your dock as you harvest, you’ll see it appear if your dock moves.

    • Jessmine2 says:

      Mine do the same as yours, KarenaJ – just go directly to the dock with no item popping up. Like you, I find that satisfying & I love seeing the item detail up close. The artists have done great job!

    • bear10201 says:

      I second that notion KarenaJ, I like to see the item popping out. The items from the dispensers I have are pretty to look at and I like to see them when I collect them.

  7. ojibwa says:

    Oh I love all the prizes! That bed is especially cool! I can’t wait!

  8. LovesStaffordshires says:

    I can’t wait to do the candy cane collection, Ms. Birdy’s 12 days, Santakinz & grab the new christmas tree. I’m glad that the snowy retriever is returning. Pittiesrule

  9. sainfoin says:

    The Painted Glass Menorah looks so cool! I absolutely LOVE the candy cane prizes this year. I won an event candy cane last year from the Wheel of Wow before it was changed to give the food item. Will I be able to use it this year? It’s been clogging my dock for a year now since I can’t sell it

    Darn! I had really hoped to get the pair of leggings on the last Deluxe Wheel prizes, but never did. Does someone have an extra pair? My username is SillyGoose9.
