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.
Is webkinz newz still going to work after Dec. 31, when I go there from the app. it switches to the Microsoft tab ?
Yes. Webkinz Newz is a regular website, not a flash-based game
I use a chromebook, so goodbye forever Webkinz! :(
Not forever! Just until you are able to get a PC!!! It will happen!
You really need a way to get out of webkinz when it freezes up witch it does time to time I don’t like turning off my computer every time this happens and I do have a new computer just give us a way back to are home page or something thanks
If you’re on a PC, you can use CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager. Open the Task Manager and select Webkinz and click End Task. There’s something similar for Mac, but you use Command-Option-ESC
Thank you, Sally. This information was helpful. I did not know how to get to the task manager on Mac.
Is there a way we can mute the Webkinz app?
I want this too.
THIS JUST IN: Chromebooks are being exchanged in record numbers as avid Webkinz Classic fans scramble to be able to continue to play the game that they have come to know and love. Stock prices plummet! LOL! XD (Just kidding, I think!)
Hahahaha! Be watching the stock markets people!!!!
app does not allow magic mire or other places please advise?
If you aren’t seeing the other locations, you are playing on the mobile app. The mobile app does not have all of the features. Unfortunately, if you were able to install the mobile app on your computer, that probably means you have a Chromebook — the Desktop App is not compatible with Chromebook at this time
im seeing them some parts work some lock me out and I have to log in again I do not have a chromebook it is a lap top
If you’re getting logged out, you might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling.
hit control alt delete or hit the button in between the fn key and alt
Windows-tab. Works for me when I get frozen.
If you open and minimize other sites or programs, such as the e-store or a Word document, before you open the Webkinz app, you can toggle between them using control and tab keys.
How do we minimize the new Webkinz app without logging out the screen is entirely to big and you can’t see your desktop apps?
Is there a way to minimize the Desktop App without logging out?
