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!

I’m so excited about this! Can’t wait until we can change and remove doors, that’s going to be the best feature!
Well, I’m not big on changes; I love Webkinz just the way it is! BUT… once I get familiar with all of the changes I’ve been reading about in Ella’s updates, I think playing in Webkinz World will be really fun!! :D
I’m not sure what to think about EVERYTHING, but I will acknowledge that the new room does have some nice features. I take lots of pictures of my pets, and it’ll be nice to have the ability to hide and show challenge icons. I have also always wanted to be able to move or remove doors. I didn’t think that it would be a possibility because of the way the site worked, but it will make it easier for me to add new rooms to my house without throwing off any room designs. Webkinz is going to be changing a lot in a few days. I’m not looking forward to everything, but I am willing to go into it with an open mind. There are a few things that I am looking forward to, after all. So far, I like the current addition much more than Webkinz X, but I’ll wait and give the new system a try before giving my final opinion.
Out of all Webkinz X things I pretty much only like the caring for your pets is rewarding! The stuff we can get for caring for our pets is like pretty much GanzEStore stuff! But the room updates to me is just confusing!
Yay! I love how they made sure that the new room fixed the old bugs. I really hope that the new room also fixes new bugs too :D everything looks awesome so far!
Hey! When will this Webkinz X be able to play?
Wow!! Very, very cool looking. It will definitely be an adjustment for a while, but I’m very much looking forward to trying it. And wow, one more reveal this Saturday?? I thought this was all of it. Can’t imagine what else new there could be!
I have no idea what it will be… But i sure am excited! I hope they will put a date on this project soon!
Yes, I totally agree!!

Okay, so I wasn’t really exited about WebkinzX at first but now I’ve slightly changed my mind. I think this new room thing is pretty cool, but I’m mostly exited about the family score. The prizes are EPIC! Hope some more users have changed their minds about WebkinzX!
