Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
Along with a new look and a new way to play, like the Pet Care Heart, Family Score, or Pet Requests, Webkinz X will include a new way to move around the site!
We are updating the Things To Do menu with a whole new look!
Like before, you’ll find the Things To Do Menu anywhere you travel on Webkinz.com. But now instead of a tab over your Dock, it will look like a map in the bottom right corner of your screen.
We’ve also included 3 shortcut buttons for the most popular places to visit: My House, the Arcade, and the WShop!
Opening up the new Things To Do menu will bring up a grid of options. Along the top row, you’ll find most of the key areas in Kinzville. Under each of these in the same column you’ll find other locations sharing a similar theme (like finding all of the shops in Kinzville in one column)!
As you can see, you can also still visit your Map of Kinzville, which you can decorate and customize to make a Kinzville all your own!
Stay tuned to my column on Sunday, June 28th and I’ll reveal MORE about the X-citing secret project, Webkinz X!
So, fellow detectives, what do YOU think about Webkinz X so far? Let me know in the comments below!

Has anyone had trouble logging in
ME! i have had trouble logging in! Phew! good thing I’m not the only one!
I have. The app wouldn’t load either!
Wow, I just realized how much you guys are changing Webkinz! =O I don’t know about the “Keeping everything you love thing” because this is very different and some people loved Webkinz the way it was.. Also, I don’t really like the pictures for the Things To Do menu. Could you please change them to just pictures of the place? It’s all too 3D or eye catching or I don’t know what.. I just don’t really like the way that Things To Do menu is.. I don;t know what it is, but I don’t like it. Sorry, Ganz.
We actually had it like that in an earlier version, but it looked too confusing. Having the host faces really helps find things in the grid faster, especially now that the menu will be much bigger and easier to read.
I was thinking the same thing now instead of reading each column you just find the face and click on it:) This is brilliant I always accidentally click on the Kinzstyle outlet instead of the Curio Shop cause the rows are so close together but in this webkinzX the pictures are more spaced out:) Thank You Ganz im all for it^-^
That happens to me too! That is a great advantage. ☺§
Is it gonna be on the site?
Yes. Unfortunately.
Yes Pinkroses9872002 these changes will be happening on http://www.Webkinz.com of 2015 :)
Steve webkinz, I haven’t been on webkinz for long, but can you please show a picture? I was only playing till 2012.
as long as they are keeping all of the places we normally go to i don’t mind this change! I think it looks helpful. sure it might take some time getting used to it. but what update wouldn’t? #NoRemodelJustAddition
exactly animelover7644 :) I feel the same way and no ♥offense♥ or anything, but It’s gonna be ok no reason to feel mad about it anymore because we’re all in this together :)
Cool! I kind of like the old things to do location better though… Just my opinion! Can’t wait for more about Webkinz x! Sounds eXcellent! ;) ~WebkinzLoverLoomers
Me too! It is excited and somewhat scary at the same time. I still don’t know if i like Webkinz X.
We’re in this together _emiemiemiemiemi_ don’t worry at least § is not taking away :D :D :D :D
We’re all in this together….and we know it’s true!
Me too. It really sounds eXcellent. I love the new Things To Do menu , it’s easier to find places in WW. Great Work Ganz !!!!! :) :D :}
FoxesRule612, We are all in this together! Come on guys! WEBKINZ X! WEBKINZ X! Woo!!
Awesome!!!!!
Anyone know when the new summer clothing line is coming out? I feel like it’s taking longer than usual. Maybe because webkinz is so busy with new sweet sixteen designs and webkinz X
Maybe they will come out in July? I feel like the spring collection has been here forever.
Hopefully sometime next month but I can’t be sure :/ ~Hug a Pug~
I hope it’s soon XD
I hope so soon 2 :) And ur probaly right about them being busy on the Sweet 16 theme and Webkinz X, So much stuff going on, it’s really amazing :)
I hope it comes soon! I really am tired of the spring line! Not that I don’t like it, but it’s just been here forever! :P
I love the icons for each of the activities to do! This is coming along very nicely!
I Loved your video! Just LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad that you did, xmy9tailxkinz! I’ll try to upload a new video soon!
I loved it as well! :D ~Hug a Pug~
I’ll subscribe your channel real quick ! I am eYa…. I don’t wanna be subsrcribe OK! thx~tails
Not eya I mean eye XD!
I like how you can click on today’s announcements now so exited!
yeah that will really help when sometimes I don’t really glance at the Anouncments when they pop up and then I can’t see them again
Hmm. Interesting..I guess.. I was hoping to see what the dock would look like, but that’s okay. Please don’t change the Kinzville Map again. The Things To Do menu seems to be kind of hard to find what I would want. I liked the old one better… All of this Webkinz X stuff seems to be just like.. ‘Okay, I’ll deal with it.. It’s different and we’ll see what it’s like.’ It’s all interesting, but I personally like all of the old stuff better.
I think this new update is a mix of good and bad. Personally, I think all updates are like that. I liked the old W-Shop a little better, even though the look of the new one is good, and it has its benefits. So far, however, I’m liking Webkinz X! I guess we’ll see once it comes out…
Ok so when this all started I was like, *mouth drops to floor* “WHAT THE WHAT! HOW DARE U CHANGE OUR BELOVED WEBKINZ WORLD! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!” But u know Webkinz isn’t “taking away anything” actually just the opposite, either adding or remodeling :) I think Webkinz X will give Webkinz a new new look unlike the older look it will seem fresh and invite many new players to join, and although I’ve been playing webkinz for YEARS and YEARS now It’s always fun to have new players join the awesomeness of Webkinz World :) Try to think of this as an improvment, because if u don’t It’s gonna be very easy to get bogged down on the fact that Webkinz is changing, but believe me there’s gonna be a WHOLE LOT MORE changes in REAL life than this, and u just gotta go with it :D
Oh, Ella McWoof did it again! That sneak! :3 Nice job!
I wish that Webkinz would bring back The Caring Valley. :(
agreed!
and dice kinz!
Yeah that would be a great!
So cool! I am Xtra Xited
This may take some getting used to, but I like the new organization! What’s Today’s Announcements? (bottom left corner) Do we have that currently? I hope the next thing revealed is the new dock!! Great work, webkinz team! ☺§
Something….HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WHAT ABOUT THE DOCK?????
I was suppose to tell Natsu something…..Fish..Fire..Rock Coffee hmmmm…I REMEMBER!!!!!!!! He and Ginger Dragneel wants me to tell you that they are quitting webkinz :( ! I like these changes in all but…Why this? why quit? Why? Webkinz is just like life! And life comes around and Changes! I just don’t understand!?
I don’t like this at all!!!! Grungamumdagh!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree, MandevillaRed. Hey Genelle, will there be any way we can continue to play Webkinz without the Webkinz X changes? Like an option to play old-style? Because I don’t like any of the new changes that have been revealed so far…
i agree i like the old one better i just like it that way but if they really need a change then i will go with it (bye old Webkinz we all will miss you) :-) / :-(
It will probably still be at the bottom..I think this pops up when you click the things to do tab:) Im all for it, it looks very nice(^-^)
The dock will still be there, They are just moving the Things To Do Menu. Personally, I think this new menu is kind of cute. :) I think it’s a nicer way to organize where you want to go. :)
well, part of me likes Webkinz X, but the other part of me is like.. idk.. I know Ganz isn’t changing everything, but they are changing the feel.. and I’m not saying I don’t like the new feel I LOVE IT, but I might miss the old feel
Can it be true? The WShop and eStore are once again separate? Thank you GANZ!
Rats I was hoping at least THIS would stay the same. Sigh and i just got used to the new things to do that webkinz still has and now it’s leaving.
Quit harping, people! There’s no use. They’re trying to make it better, and…crikey, they’re getting a bunch of nag in their shorts for trying to help us all out and make it a bit more navigate-able. Probably easier for newer users to use. I can’t imagine that it’ll hurt that much — honestly, people leaving before they even get around to changing things…obviously some people don’t have enough change in their lives or something. Well, THANK YOU, Ganz! I love the new improvements you’re making to this awesome, wonderful game!
It would be nice if they worked on the existing problems before creating more.
Yes! Shadow Wolf! I agree!! Quit moping, people….get used to some change! They’re trying to make things BETTER, not worse! #WeWantSomeChange
Thanks, FoxesRule! Glad to know someone agrees. ^^
Yes!!!! SOMEBODY who feels the exact same way! Shadow_Wolf_Rises, I completely agree, and even though Ganz asked us what we think of Webkinz X, giving opinions is one thing, but griping about it isn’t helpful. So thank you, Shadow Wolf, (if that’s okay if I shorten your name) for helping convey that message. ☻♥☺
I think that “better” is totally subjective. What’s better to you is not better for all. But life is all about change and that is the only constant. Might as well try to roll with it because no one has a say in that anyway.
Hold on… What about Dr. Quack? Will we have a new Doctor? Or will he be forever gone?
well maybe they r still working on it, or they might never change it, but anyway, i luv the new L00K! it might take awhile to get used to though, but it looks soo cool!
this looks good to me. and better for younger players who might not read really well yet.
Ganz already changed the Things To Do menu! And it appears they’re changing the name of Today’s Activities to Today’s Announcements. I wonder if the name “Webkinz” itself will be changed to “Webkinz X”. And they are changing the dock, xmy9tailkinz. Also, does anyone have any ideas as to what the X in “Webkinz X” means? Someone said X means ten in roman numerals, and it does, and that the X must be the roman numeral “X”.That is a possibility…
There’s both Today’s Activities and Today’s Announcements in this menu. Also, “Webkinz X” is just a project name. The name of the game won’t be changed :P
Today’s Activities is also on the menu. Today’s Announcements is in the Newspaper.
I believe that the Today’s Announcments can currently be found in the Webkinz Newspaper in the top left corner of it. It tells you about three major events going on or coming up.
Today’s Announcements will come up in your room when you visit your house for the first time that day, and the announcements change according to what you’ve done (got a new prize from Webkinz or Webkinz Newz) and current events, and things just for you (such as your account is expiring soon). I like the new button that can help us view Today’s Announcements more easily!

GANZ, wen is webkinz x come out? and, were is the dock? where is our stuff!?!?!
If you had trouble logging in earlier, I can get in now
Yeah, they said on Twitter they were working on fixing it! Glad I can get in again. I was scared there was something wrong with my computer! Never had trouble with Webkinz before, so I’m glad it wasn’t for long (:
I have had a lot of trouble with Webkinz ! For a while I couldn’t log on to Webkinz on the Google Chrome browser (I had to use Internet explorer instead), and then, shortly after the Wshop was changed, it started not working! Still, every time I click on the Wshop, the screen freezes. I have only met one other webkinz who told me he (or she) has this Wshop problem. Obviously it only happens to a few kids (and I’m one of them). Also, several games in the arcade don’t work for me, including Hoppy Little Rocketship, Spree (last time I ckecked) and others.But every thing seems to work on a laptop or mobile device.
It’s currently called Today’s Activities. you can do different games or they have sales that are different each hour. God bless, Silvermist03
oh never mind. I didn’t see the today’s activities button. I think NMKID4527 is right. God bless, Silvermist03
Sivermist03, it is on the top row don’t worry I see it. with the money and the check.
bullseyejingles444 we already have the today’s activities its where you go to get extra spins on the Wheel of WOW! or get W-Shop Coupons and stuff like that
IKR????? I was gonna say that!! it is gonna take some getting used to, but I like it!!
It will defiantly take getting used to but I do like the layout! I used to not really like Webkinz X that much but I am seeing the good in it. (:
Dear Ganz, I just bought a beach party room theme pack to throw a party at my house. But, whenever I drag it into my room, nothing happens, and if i try to drag it in again, the same thing happens. After that, I can’t make my pet move around inside my room or use the house map until leaving the house and then returning (or logging off then back on). I really hope I didn’t waste 1000 kinzcash, and I was so looking forward to a beach party. Please help! – G2u3c4c5i (p.s. I tried on another computer and the same thing happened, so i think it may have something to do with the account.)
Good for u :D :D :D I felt like I was the only one here that realized that this is not real life and It would be good to get used to this so u can face the other things life throws at u :)
I agree! This will take some time getting used to everything new but once we are all settled in then I’m sure I will adjust to everything!
Is the Cinema going away? Hope not.
I hope not as well. I use it quite often. :(
I like this! And it’s organized, so i like that…It just may be a little hard to get used to like bullseyejingles444 said…
This is cool! Webkinz X used to look not-so-good, but now it looks SUPERB!
I’m glad they finally made it look different for a change! The last few times they updated it, all they did was rearrange the buttons!
