Due to an issue beyond our control, as of January 1, 2021, Webkinz Classic will no longer work on browsers. The Flash plug-in, which is required for our site to run will not be supported by browsers after December 31, 2020.
The good news is that Webkinz Classic has a downloadable Desktop App that functions exactly the same way as our original site, but it doesn’t require a browser in order to play!
To make sure your play is uninterrupted, it’s important to download the Desktop App as soon as possible.
Ask your parents for help downloading the Desktop App and installing it on your computer.
Downloading the app is simple. Just visit the Webkinz homepage, and click one of the download buttons. There is a version for Windows and a version for Mac.
When the download has completed click on the wxsetup.exe in Windows or wxsetup.dmg on Mac in your Downloads folder and follow the prompts.
Once it is installed, you’re all set! You can continue to enjoy the same game you know and love!
And remember – you must install the Webkinz Classic Desktop App before January 2021 in order to enjoy uninterrupted play.
I have a strange question . I have an APPLE phone with CLASSIC and NEW Wbkinz BOTH . DOWNLOAED from the APPLE App store . WILL they both keep working in January !!!
Going by what many say on Facebook groups, most of us can only do the Strength class on Firefox with a video running in the background. Please please please fix the strength class on the new desktop app!!!
I NEVER could get past level 6 . SPEED YES I have finished that class many times.
SORRY MENT LEVEL 4
Hi, What will happen with the Ganz estore after Jan 1st? Will we still be able to shop there?
Yup!
Ganz, will Webkinz work if I download the Webkinz classic app from google play? Because I use a Chromebook and can’t download the desktop app.
The Desktop App is not compatible with Chromebook. You may be able to download the Webkinz Classic mobile app onto your Chromebook
We returned the Chromebook as soon as we found out we could not download the desktop app!!!!
So I have a Chromebook, is there no way to play after January on here?
You may be able to download the mobile app onto your Chromebook
Question: When I clicked the link to download on my Mac, it says the app is only available for iOS and not the actual laptop. Help?
Make sure you are clicking the “Download for Mac” button on the right side of the homepage on webkinz.com — if you’re in the App Store, you’re in the wrong place.
Could I please have a link to the desktop download for Mac? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find it.
Go to webkinz.com — look for the call out that says Webkinz Desktop App and click the button that says Download for Mac
when i get a new laptop after this year will it still be available to download?
Yep! The link will remain on webkinz.com
Hi Sally, if I play on two different computers – my laptop and my desktop – and I download the desktop app to both of them, will they sync? Or will I have to choose only one computer to play on from now on?
Play on either or both. The Desktop App is just a replacement for the browser — your account information remains safely on the server and can be accessed from wherever you log in from
I have to get a new laptop because there is no way to play Webkinz on a Chromebook after flash is no longer supported :(
