Hello there, it’s me again—Dr. Quack! I’m so privileged to once again be your Mayor of Kinzville, and I’m pleased to tell you about all the new and exciting things we have planned in Webkinz Classic for the next few weeks! Let’s have a look, shall we?

Then from February 7th until February 14th, collect chocolates from Cinnamon in the park, and don’t forget to also look for the exclusive Banana Toffee Chocolate here on Webkinz Newz!

REMEMBER: Flash has now been blocked in all web browsers! To continue playing Webkinz Classic, you’ll need to download the desktop app directly from the Webkinz homepage, or get the mobile app from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
Well now, that sounds like lots of fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements, including when you’ll see my NEW Caring Clinic at the Clubhouse!
Take care, Kinzville!
Is anyone else having trouble signing into their account? I had to change the password on 2 accounts, because Webkinz kept telling me I had it wrong even though I deliberately typed every letter to ensure it was correct. It’s frustrating enough to have to enter the info every time, but it’s even worse when I type it correctly and I’m told that it’s wrong.
Some very cool stuff coming up. I love the chocolate collection event every year!! And the pond is gorgeous, can’t wait!!
Super excited for the coming challenges!
Amazing update, thanks! The Vacation Wheel prizes are super!
So many exciting things happening! Player Appreciation Day is going to be awesome. I hope I get the Adventure Scouts Outpost. Can’t wait to visit Cinnamon in Kinzville Park and get 6 chocolates and the Cinnamon Heart Tree Seeds. What I am most excited about is the chance to win a Jolly Roger Captain’s Chair. I have been wanting one and a Jolly Roger Bed for quite a while for a room to be complete. Please consider a challenge to where we could win the Jolly Roger Bed. Thank you.
Would it also be possible to provide an option to mute the app with the next update? I’d love to be able to listen to music while I play
Ohhh me too!! Especially for Mac players!
It’d be fantastic if they would FINALLY hear us about the full-game mute option. Some of us have been pleading for that for over a decade, but the please just fall on deaf ears. They copped out before when webkinz could be played in a tab instead of a pop-up, and muting the single tab was an option, responded countless times in the comments for us to use that option. But, here we are, that’s no longer an option, thanks ever so much, flash, so I guess it’s back to pleading endlessly. Like, can you hear us now, ganz?
Well that was supposed to be *pleas* but, huh, it works that way, too…dear ganz, pleeeeeeeeeease finally give us this mute button. Some people like being able to play and listen to other things at the same time. Some people have sensory issues due to autism and other reasons, and many/most of the sounds in-game just HURT. Some people, like myself, are both. Please finally give us an on/off full game mute button.
You can selectively mute apps in Windows. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any native method for Mac, though there are apparently third party apps that let you do that.
Yes please!!!
I agree I used to watch videos while playing and I would mute the site so I could hear the video.
Yes — me too!
OMG!!! Thank you for Windows Mode! Makes checking/entering prize codes SOOO much easier for lots of players! GREAT JOB!
Wow, so many wonderful things coming up.
Thank you for Windowed Mode!!!!!
Can anyone else spin the Wheel of Wow or Deluxe?? My cursor will not make it spin with the “window mode” as it’s called?? Is there some way I can move it or something? IDK much about computers??? Any help appreciated!
Try quitting and relaunching the app
While everyone else is so thankful for the ‘window mode’ I am very thankful that it is only an option. I cannot click on any of the wheels (the spin button is covered up) so I have to leave it in Full window. Thank goodness I can!
You may just need to hide your dock in those cases
