Webkinz Next R1.6 Release Notes

Our first release of 2021 brings our popular Winterfest event to new Webkinz along with two room themes and some exciting features that could really surprise you!
 
 
Winterfest
 
 
Winterfest has arrived! Collect up to five snowflakes a day for exciting winter prizes, including fun quilt floor tiles and the all-new Polarberry Bush from which you can harvest Polarberries!
 
 

 
 

We’ve taken Winterfest up a notch with two side events. First, every snowflake you catch also gives you… a snowflake! This new crafting material can be used to create your very own Snow Fort! This recipe is available from now until January 31st on the Carpenter’s Workbench (available in the W-Shop).
 
 

 
 
Second, we have an all-new type of challenge that can get you an amazing winter prize…
 
 

Community Challenges
 
 

Working on challenges is fun… working together is AWESOME! We’ve added challenges where everyone works together on a single goal. If the goal is reached, everyone who participates wins! Whether you contribute just a bit or a whole lot, you’re doing your part.
 
 

 
 

As our first Community Challenge, we need you to… collect snowflakes! Yes, just enjoy Winterfest and you could win this spectacular Ice Pond.
 
 

 
 
Photo Mode
 
 

Take screenshots in Webkinz like never before! Get the angle you want and zoom into your favorite pet to get the perfect photo and save it to your PC or mobile device to share with friends or online. We can’t wait to see your best photos!
 
 


 

 
 
New Room Themes
 
 

Two of the most popular Classic themes have made their way to Webkinz Next!
 
 
The Winter Theme is perfect for these cold months and appears here in all its icy glory. This theme is in the W-Shop now for Kinzcash.

 
 

 
 
For those who love our premium themes, we have brought over the beautiful Homespun Theme. So warm and cozy, this theme looks great in any home.
 
 


 
 
Crafting Bags in the Arcade Shop
 
 

We’ve heard that some players are having a hard time getting the crafting materials they need. So for a limited time we’ve added Crafting Bags in the Arcade Shop for just 100 Game Tickets each. Now playing your favorite games can help you out even more!
 
 


 
 
Too Cold for Flowers in Kinzville
 
 

The snowy weather has put a stop to flowers growing in Kinzville, but don’t worry, they’ll be back in the spring. We’ve also heard that a certain day coming in February might warm the ground enough for some very special flowers to appear…

    I have logged in and logged out several times for the past week, and still no snowflakes!

  2. anniemarch26 says:

    3.25 hrs and only one floating snowflake!?

    • Sally Webkinz says:

      If you aren’t seeing snowflakes, I’d suggest logging out and back in

      • revincent says:

        I log in and out all day and no snowflakes. I got a few when it first started and now nothing. The same thing happened to me with the Holiday Toy Ball event. This just doesn’t work right yet. So disappointed.

        • Sally Webkinz says:

          Sometimes I find it works better if I’ve done a bit of decorating, browsed the W Shop and jumped around Kinzville a bit. Staying in one spot as soon as I log in has taken the longest.

  3. nikkicoco2012 says:

    I have a crafting table and no snowflake recipe is popping up for me? is the same thing happening for everybody else?

  4. wokthedog says:

    I am glad to see more upgrades! I have two questions. Can you only make one snow fort? It disappeared from my crafting table the next day after I made one. I was so hoping to have more than one. The other question is there dirt available in the crafting bags? I have purchased over 20 bags and still have not seen any dirt. I would love mo make a plant. :)

    • Blue57Star says:

      You aren’t the only one unable to get the dirt/soil to craft the pot plant! I haven’t purchased any bags from the arcade but I have won quite a few through the wheel of wow and daily log in gifts. Although most other crafting resources I have at least one or two, I have never got any dirt/soil.

    • OddmeisterWI says:

      I also have made a fort, and I find that the recipe is gone. With 9 days left in the month, I anticipate catching plenty of snowflakes to build another. If not, do the snowflakes hang out in the dock until there’s something else to build – perhaps next year?

    • MIHAELA18 says:

      Hi,I keep open it a lot of crafting bags but still no dirt and not in store!maybe from growing plants after we harvest them 10 times??

  5. Nickelcat says:

    My pet has been frozen in the corner of the room for 3 days now. I am unable to decorate the house, use the craft tables, or do anything else that requires moving about. I have sent in-game feedback twice and sent a private Facebook message to Betty Butter Ganz. What else do I need to do to get my pet unfrozen so I can make crafts out of the snowflakes before it’s too late?

  6. megamom12 says:

    I am SO looking forward to being able to catch more snowflakes tomorrow! I only catch one or two when I have to rush through and then go to work!

  7. megamom12 says:

    Thank GOODNESS that we are able to get craft bags in the arcade! Even so it took all of my 1400 tickets to get the buttons that I needed for the onesie! I did replenish my spices which was good.

    • OddmeisterWI says:

      Yes, it’s great, but I just noticed that in the release notes it says these are available for a “limited time” – so I guess we’d better get them while we can!

  8. pipperroo2 says:

    is there a limit to the number of snowflakes you can catch daily? and do they appear at any particular times? like in classic it would be every 6 – 7 minutes?

  9. GoGanz24 says:

    The “Winners” area of the “New Baby Showcase” seems to be gone; is that just a glitch?

  10. changes2012 says:

    I would love to use the ‘new’ app, but when I logged in, I got a new pet and NONE of my 100s of pets from the Classic. Also I don’t have any of my money, food, furniture, etc…ISN’T THERE A WAY TO MERGE THE TWO?
