And now for a special report…
Webkinz Newz Week has begun and it’s your time to shine! Ella needs your help to write a front page story for the Kinzville Times, and if you manage to complete your special assignment by midnight, Sunday, April 19, you’ll earn a framed copy that you can display in your pet’s room!
To start your assignment, look for the Newz Week challenge icon. It will be displayed on the left side of your screen:
When you click on the icon, you’ll be able to review the tasks you’ll need to complete in order to finish your assignment on time:
Don’t leave the Webkinz Newz challenge to the last minute… Some tasks take time to complete. But, if you do manage to complete your assignment by midnight, Sunday, April 19 (EST), you’ll earn a special framed copy of your cover story that you can proudly hang in your pet’s room and a Newz Blogger Mug!
You will need to feed your pet 4 cans of Fizzy Newz Soda to complete the Webkinz Newz challenge, but you’ll only be able to find them at webkinznewz.com. You can easily access Webkinz Newz from the THINGS TO DO menu. Look for the daily floating Webkinz Newz Soda can and click on it to send it back to your account. Drag a can of Fizzy Newz Soda onto your Webkinz to feed your pet.
You can also visit the Newz Room at the Clubhouse for even more prizes throughout Newz Week. You can use the THINGS TO DO menu to get there:
Once you’re inside the Newz Room, you can click on the Podkinz recording booth to watch a short video about this year’s Webkinz Day. As soon as the video ends, you’ll be awarded a special coin in honor of the 15th anniversary of Webkinz (limited to 1 coin a day).
You’ll also be able to click on Ella McWoof to get a special prize. She’ll likely be blogging away at her desk, but don’t worry, she’s always excited to meet her fans!
There are 8 prizes to collect, including the rare Webkinz Newz Team signed posters. You’ll only be able to get 1 prize daily, so make sure you check up on Ella every day during Newz Week.
How close are you to finishing your assignment? Let us know in the comment section below…
To the Webkinz team: is the framed cover story tradeable? I worked really hard to get one but I forgot to actually feed my pets the sodas. I had them in my dock all ready too but forgot about it until about 10 minutes after midnight. :( So, I was wondering if I could trade for it?
Is it possible to extend this challenge for just one more day?? My kids need just one more fizzy soda on both of their accounts. Pretty please?
never mind. it turns out i have enough
Is anyone else having a problem with being able to watch the video to get the coin? I turned on 3rd party ads and still nothing. TIA
Yes, I have. I read another comment and they said to click, “Click to Play.” I did and it said, “Please Wait.” Nothing happened. I never watched a video. Then, I looked in my dock under the star “Special Items” and found the Webkinz Year 15 coin.
what do you do with the special coin in honor of the 15th anniversary of Webkinz. I have gotten one each day but cant figure out what to do with it.
Either keep them as a collection, sell them at the WShop for kinzcash, or send them to a friend as a gift. I hope they make us more coin storage boxes to keep them in, like the green ones we got from the Leprechaun a few years ago.
Does anyone have the Newz outfits? I keep getting the posters and I want the outfits really bad! Username = Watermelon75
has anyone sent you outfits yet?
I will send you what I have for extra tops! I need the Michael Webkinz poster if you happen to have an extra! Still waiting to get the skirt and pants too…
I’m really hoping to get the wallpaper at some point too!
do you have the blazer/blouse (the one that pairs with the skirt)? I never ended up getting it. If not, that’s okay but it’d be very much appreciated! My UN on WW is clompie (kinzklipfan is only my WKN name)
