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?
- WINDOWED MODE IS HERE! You asked for it, and we listened! You can now play the Webkinz Classic desktop app in either full screen OR windowed mode! Just look for the SETTINGS on the desktop app home page before you log in and then click to un-check the box
- The 2021 Winter Clothing Line has arrived in the KinzStyle Outlet and in the Mobile Zone of the Webkinz mobile app! Check out the latest fun fashions for your pet and look for the two new clothing recipes that can be created using items from this new theme! To make room for the new stock, PJ Collie has retired the 2020 Summer Clothing Line.
- We are running a Wacky Weekend event on the weekend of January 22nd until January 24th! Watch for floating bottles of Zangoz Orange Fizz. When you click and collect one, you can feed it to your pet for a chance to receive a Wacky Snack Machine Fridge!

- Deluxe Member’s will receive their next monthly challenge on Monday, February 1st! If they complete all the tasks before the end of the month, they’ll receive a Sweetheart Plushy, along with a NEW Lovely Pond!
- Our Valentine Collection event returns on February 1st! Throughout the month, visit the Map of Kinzville of the Webkinz Classic desktop app and click on the collection icon to send Valentine requests to your friends! You’ll earn lots of lovely prizes along the way for reaching each milestone! And if you complete your collection before the end of February, you can start collecting all over again!
- Cinnamon’s Chocolate Stand returns to the Kinzville Park in the Webkinz Classic desktop app in February! Get a preview from February 1st until February 6th. 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! This year’s grand prize for collecting all 6 chocolates are some Cinnamon Heart Tree Seeds that grow Cinnamon Hearts! If you miss out on any of the chocolates, they can still be collected using eStore Points until the end of February.
- The Hungry Hog Trophy Challenge returns on Monday, February 1st! Available only on the Webkinz Classic desktop app, complete all the tasks before midnight, Sunday, February 7th (EST) to win a Diner Place Setting, along with a Hungry Hog Trophy!

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!
Thank you so much for the window mode option! I love it on my usual computer – can’t wait to try it on my lapbook (or whatever they call it) that I use when we travel! Thank you! Thank you! And thanks for all the fun things coming up!
Now I can see why Sophie became mayor in the past she is one talented lady. I am still trying to figure out how she can be in two different rooms, the Adventure Scouts and Ganz eStore Showroom in the Clubhouse at the same time. Any suggestions how she is able to do this???
LOL
Didn’t you know? Sophie has a twin who is her stunt double. The twin is the one who gets booked for all of the more ‘difficult’ meet-and-greet opportunities. So while Sophie basks in mall paradise, her twin has to stand outside in the snow all month handing out a seemingly never-ending supply of trail mix. The twin is a former spy so she likes to stay off the radar, and little is publicly known about her. This comment may even be censored for disclosing too much about her identity.
ROFL!
an option to mute the app would be nice
Yes!!!
I love ALL of these prizes! I’m so excited for February!
There are SO many new cool things happening this month! When does Dr. Quack’s clinic come back?
Post EOL survival log day 21: NO IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Ganz shutdown the Webkinz website! or at least the play button, flash still works for me but webkinz is gone, I guess it’s time to get used to that new app…
Thank you for the updates! Also, I would like to have a way to consolidate multiple accounts into one, that would be great to have.
Hello Webkinz! I’ve been a player for ten wonderful years, but I’ve had issues downloading the desktop app because I don’t have a Windows or Mac computer. Is there any way I can still download the desktop app, or will I have to use the mobile app to play? (I don’t really want to use the mobile app because it doesn’t have many of the features as the PC versions). Thanks in advance. I hope to continue playing soon! (:
Unfortunately, if you do not have a compatible device, you will not be able to use the Desktop App
I was able to play on the browser until January 20th, when the update happened. Will the browser still be availible?
Browser play is no longer supported
Will the app ever be update to include more features? (:
Nothing is impossible :) but it probably won’t be any time soon
So many great things coming! Thank you Webkinz for all of your hard and creative work! love love love!
I love all the new backgrounds for the different activities they’re so cute!
