Webkinz Mini Golf will be retired from the Arcade on April 10th, so as a special send-off before we bid it adieu, we’re holding a Mini Golf Community Challenge!
If the Webkinz Newz community plays 5,000 rounds of Mini Golf from Friday, April 5th – Tuesday, April 9th, you’ll get a code for a Golf Bag that you can unlock at the Code Shop and proudly display in your pet’s room.
Simply starting the game and giving it a try will count as a “round”, so don’t worry if you can’t complete a whole game. You’ll also get credit for trying a round of 9 or 18 holes, in 1 or 2 player mode, so there’s many ways to join in on the fun!
You’ll find Webkinz Mini Golf in the Games Arcade (web only). Move the cursor around your character to aim and click to hit the ball. Want to see how this game works? Watch Matt and Michael Webkinz play a round of Mini Golf during a Let’s Play video:
Check Webkinz Newz Wednesday afternoon (April 10th), to see if we managed to reach the goal of playing 5,000 rounds of Mini Golf. If everyone gives it a try, we’ll have no trouble winning the Golf Bag… Good luck!
*The Golf Bag was originally sold in the Ganz eStore and cannot be traded, sold back to the W-Shop or sent through KinzPost
I love this challenge but I am so sad webkinz golf is not going to be in the arcade. :) :(
This was my favorite game in the Webkinz arcade. It’ll be sad to see it go. Why is it being retired? Does it have something to do with it not being playable in the new Webkinz desktop or is it based on the medallion prize drop? Whatever the reason is, it surely will be missed by some.
I’ll be playing Mini Golf a lot these 5 days to help out with the Community Challenge and enjoy it before it’s retired. It was a wonderful game, but it was a bit tricky to get used to the controls and how to hit the golf ball with the right strength.
It’s always sad to see a game retire, but thank you for this mini challenge to win something fun to remember it by.
Wait…one challenge requires you to earn kinzcash playing mini golf. What will happen to that challenge?
It will be updated to remove the Mini Golf requirement.
There are a couple of permanent challenges that require the player to play Mini Golf, what will happen with those once the game is gone? Thanks for the warning of retirement! It is so much better when we know what is being retired and when.
They will be updated
Sad this game is retiring. I have lots of memories playing two player mode against my brother years ago. Although it controlled weirdly, it was still fun to play from time to time.
Awwww, Mini Golf was the first Webkinz game I played when I first joined and I still enjoy playing it :(
OH COOL, I love this game!! After I figured it out and how to control the swing, strength of the shot and how the scoring system worked, it became a lot easier. PLUS that whole pressing on the arrows to see your course and press/hold the shift key to stop your character from blocking your view is really helpful.
Aww, it’s sad that they’ll be retiring Webkinz Mini Golf! :( I wonder why they’re doing that…? It was never a favorite game of mine or anything, so I’m not too upset about it, but it does bring back some memories of my older Webkinz days, heheh… Well, at least they’re giving it an “epic send-off” of sorts! ;) I’ll be sure to play this game again before it’s gone, and hopefully we can complete the challenge! :) (Oh! And I don’t know if this has been happening to anyone else, but Webkinz Newz has been very slow for me the past half a day or so…I dunno if it’s my computer, or something with the website, but hopefully it’ll be back to normal again soon! I can hardly even get onto the forums, which is frustrating because I was really wanting to reply to some stuff on there before the weekend =/ )
Yes @ilovemoonie, it’s slow for me too today. The page won’t load, and I find myself staring at a plain pale blue screen with no content. So I hit the refresh button once or twice and the content finally loads. Sadly, this is making Peek-a-Newz impossible for me. Regarding mini golf, I feel bad for those who enjoy the game, but I find the controls difficult and frustrating and I only ever play it for challenges. So now I’m going to go give it one last effort and take the article’s advice and just try!
Hey, Moonie! Yeah, it’s been loading slow for me too! It’s been frustrating trying to load the forums..
Wow, cool–although I am REALLY BAD at Mini Golf, lol. I know we can do this, though!
