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!
Players using our mobile app had an early preview of the new room and a few of its updated features. But now everyone will be able to play and design in the new version of the room when they log into Webkinz.com on July 8th!
Here’s what the new room will look like:
One of the best features of the new My House room is that it will now expand to fit in any size screen. We’ve also updated the look and layout of all the buttons and tools, some of which we’ve already previewed, like the new meters including the Pet Care Heart, the new Dock and the new Things To Do menu.
The buttons and options along the top of the room have also been updated and improved.
Top Left:
- NEW Hide/Show challenge icons
- House map
- Zoom (with NEW feature for scrolling in and out)
- NEW Edit ON/OFF button design
Top Center:
- KinzCash and eStore Points Display
- NEW Pet Care Hearts filled (for KinzCash and Family Score bonuses)
- NEW Family Score Display
- NEW Show Family Score Prizes button
Top Right:
- KinzTime display
- Friends List cell phone
- KinzPost mailbox
- Message Center
- NEW Options menu
Editing items will also work the same as they do on the mobile app, with new edit controls and the ability to switch into edit mode by clicking and holding on an item. While you’re in edit mode, the doors at the bottom of the room will disappear to make it easier to move and add items.
While being able to change and remove doors from a room isn’t quite ready yet, the new room was designed with this long-awaited feature in mind and will be added in a future update soon.
The new room will also do a better job at handling stuck items or decorations misplaced by the doors added between rooms. If an item becomes stuck or misplaced, when you reload the room, it should automatically be removed and sent to your Dock.
Stay tuned to my column on Saturday, July 4th 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!

What about moving rooms?
oooh that’s a good point! my house really needs that… i’ve got a bunch of random small rooms in the middle of my house that I have no idea what to do with. so I hope that moving rooms will become a new feature soon!
Agreed! And removing rooms too!
I agree a lot! I have to many rooms and its overwhelming. I actually stop playing for awhile because of it. I have a friend that stop playing a long time then started a new account because she had to many rooms and pets she felt like she was neglecting them.
Yeah… I also stopped playing as often as I used to because of the rooms :(
I third that motion. I have rooms that really need to blend and I can’t unless I strip them bare and redo them.
Wow! We sound like men in Congress! (Sorry. :-P been seeing too many things about the American Revolution. :-P )
what a change. i love it.
These sound like positive changes. I will be ABSOLUTELY THRILLED when the door removal function is finally in place. Thank you guys for making things better & better!
We’ve been waiting a long time to be able to move/remove doors. I’m sure it will be worth the wait when it’s finally available. It will make room design so much more flexible. Thank you, Ganz!
Omg I’m first!!!!
Actually you were 6th :P
this is so cool
i am not really happy with the new webkinz x was before but now i am not:(
Yay! This is my favorite update so far, as room decorating is my favorite thing to do! (I totally called the release date too! July 8!) I’m so excited to start using the new updates and I’m glad we can hide our challenges!! FANTASTIC! This is AWESOME!! ☺§
And it also looks like y’all updated the style of the doors in the room. Is that correct? ☺§
Yeah they did. =] Isn’t this exciting?
AMAZING, I’m so excited for this awesome and great change. I can’t wait to try this. The new stuff looks very good and all is fantastic….Thanks for these awesome changes Ganz!!! :)
I am excited for changes, I think the new stuff looks awesome!! Change is a coming!!
Is the Webkinz X update all on July 8th or just this part of it?
Awesome!! I love how the top isn’t cut off as much. I hope movable doors come soon
And omg, July 8th!! I’m so excited because me and my cousin who loves Webkinz too will be together on that day so we’ll get to go on Webkinz X together. Plus it’s still fairly early in the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to raise my family score and get new prizes B)
Oh yeah I didn’t notice that! I think the door design has changed too. What do you think? ☺§
I agree! I can’t wait for movable doors! I will also like seeing the top of the room when I’m designing. Also – The update for Webkinz X wasn’t there yesterday and still isn’t there today?
Its certainly X-citing. I cant wait to try it.
I am really looking forward to the door placements being movable. I think that may be the best change to all this new stuff. As long as we don’t lose the things we really love.
I agree. it will take room decorating to a whole new level! I am excited for that! :D
I had my doubts about this whole remodel, but so far absolutely LOVE it! I can’t wait to see it all in action! *~**Starburst Stream**~*
I am the 100th COMMENT! Yayayayayayaya…….I am the 100th comment?…..
I don’t like this. The colors are ugh. And the room is just too cluttered. With all the new stuff. I might quit after all.
HEEEEYYYY this is totally beside the point of webkinz x but……. wouldn’t it be cool if webkinz had a day called “Deluxe for a Day” where non deluxe members could be deluxe for a day and see if they like it. If you like my idea please respond to my comment!!!!
That is a really neat idea!!
that is such a great Idea, ooh! maybe they could even give everyone discounts on deluxe membership or E store points. and it helps them because some parents what to see if its worth it before they buy it this will help with that problem. yay!!!!!!
1 word… “GENIUS!” Ganz, you should do this! You would make every webkinz player happy AND you would probably get a LOT more people joining deluxe! BRILLIANT!
Thats a great idea!!
Snowandlindsey? It’s 1zat!! How are you?!
Hey 1zat! I’m great!
Amazing idea! I would love that to actually happen!
this is the best idea ever!!!!
This is a great change i love it!
I agree! I love this new change. Looks more fun, convenient, and cooler! I LOVE this! Home run, Ganz, home run.
Its OK not a HUGE fan of webkinz x but its growing on me. Personally I don’t like the way you edit things on the mobile app but its ok
Oh. My. Gosh. This is so cool!!! :D :D FINALLY THE OPTION TO REMOVE DOORS! AND THE ABILITY TO SCROLL IN AND OUT IS SUPER COOL. AND OUR ROOMS FIT TO ANY SCREEN. THAT IS SO AWESOME. I’M SUPER HYPED. SOOO CRAZY!!! :D (Okay, ignore the fact that before I didn’t like Webkinz X, the past few posts I’ve loved it!!) Words to describe Webkinz X: awesome, amazing, super cool, exciting, crazy, stunning, incredible, surprising, and definitely EXTRAORDINARY! (So exciting I have to use tons of HTML tags ;D)
JULY 8! WHAT HAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO WEBKINZ NEXT?!? WEBKINZ Y!?!
Nope, WebkinZ–
(Hopefully you know I’m kidding. <xD)
What are HMLT? Plz tell me how to make word go…black? They look AMAZING! I asked Ako-san and Kakashi-kun but they said they didnt know….help….plz. XD I cant believe I am involving my pets into this! Well see ya tails!
and , no .s …hopefully that helps. ^^;
ACK, IT WON’T LET ME TELL YOU. O_O Well, it tells you under where you’re replying.
Oh Hey! I didn’t even link together that the mobile room was this new room! Well it won’t be too bad then. It seems more useful for mobile but not as bad as I thought.
Can they also make an way to delete rooms?
I completely agree; this definitely needs to happen! :)
Yes, and moving rooms!
THIS IS AWESOME!! I HOPE WE CAN MOVE/DELETE ROOMS!
Me too!
ME TOO! Please let us control our house map better as well – like show entire house and make it bigger – add drag and drop for moving rooms.
I am deluxe, and when logged into my account today, I did not get my monthly gift box. Why is that?
I like the idea about fitting any screen! It used to be so aggravating! This is definintly my favorite post.
Ahh this is gonna take so much getting used to! XD I really am going to miss the old dock though :P The new way to edit our rooms easier surely is better, but I really did like our old dock… I wonder when all these changes will be taking place?! Probably pretty soon! It is summer now after all ~lavadragon~ ☼
@lavadragon Yeah I agree I don’t like the new dock but yeah the new way to edit rooms is nice cause it is a lot like mobile. I don’t know if you have that but yeah! Lol
Yeah, I actually wanted an item to be by the door, and I forgot about it when I went on mobile. Super annoying…. No more secret passage for Merlin, I guess.
Wow I REALLY love the new zoom!! :D
Woah, moving and deleting doors? I actually didn’t expect that…I expected moving and deleting ROOMS. <xD
Also, not really a glitch but a nuisance, crops still give the removal warning, even if it’s on it’s first stage… -w-’
…I dont really get it is this just for mobile app or what?
Computer version. I haven’t tried on mobile.
⊙o⊙ Wow I am lovin’ these changes!
I love the updates. But WHAT IS THAT WALLPAPER I LOVE IT!
July 8 for the first part of Webkinz X!!!! Can’t wait to try it out! I hope it won’t be long until we have door editing. That’ll be really AWESOME! love to all! :D – Avzora ♥
Totally true. I don’t want the things we enjoy most about webkinz to go away. :(
Scared scared scared :0
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I can’t wait until we can move doors! Since it stated that we will be able to move or REMOVE doors, does this mean that we can delete rooms or move them??? I REALLY hope so! And WOW, that’s a LOT of Kinzcash o.O God Bless!!! -PinkPiano =]
Yeah. The doors always getting in the way with my room designs. This’s gonna be great.
It really does look like we won’t be loosing anything we love! SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE DOORS! Heh, My Ten Year Magic W Pup is named Oaklie. This one is Annie. ANNIE OAKLIE!!!! :p
This all seems great. My huge concern is that the new changes already affect our rooms and activities (Bingos for example). As of today around 12 pm, the rooms on the left side of my House Map stopped loading properly so that the furniture and the Marshmallow collection icon are missing. Interestingly enough, the most affected rooms are the ones with WebKinz prizes related to the 10-year celebration (10-year floaties mostly). I hope this gets fixed very soon.
this will be really cool, but it might take a while for me to get use to it if u know what i mean…
I hope these changes doesnt happen while I am at camp! I was excepted for music camp yayayayayayayayaya or was it brave camp…………?
I believe the big update is on July 8th. I may be wrong.
when does webkinz x start?
Yes! Door placements! Wooh-hoo! This is awesome! (did anyone see how much kinzcash that person has? WOAH!)
So happy I can get rid of those doors, its really annoying when I have to find a way to cover it up with items
So, it’s July 4th (happy Fourth of July!) and there’s no update…
They said July 8th. (This may be late by happy 4th of July. Funny I said that, since I am Canadian. :-P )
Excuse me? After they updated Webkinz to Webkinz X I haven’t been able to log in to my webkinz account! I could really use some help to get back on to my account. Thanks!-RTR
