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 am new at this
I play mobile on my mom and dads phone so I can’t wait only 3 more days!!!!
When is all of this going to be available? It sounds super cool!!
So the wallpaper, flooring and items placed near the two outside corners of the room will sort of be cropped off?
Does anyone know when Webkinz X takes place? I am SUPER x-cited (lol) for it. I rrally would like to know.
I hope that the editing isn’t too complicated. Since I don’t have any mobile devices, I obviously don’t have the app and have no idea how the editing feature works so I do hope it is easy to figure out. ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
Hey Genelle!!!??? Will we finally be able to upgrade rooms sizes and delete/sell rooms back??? WE NEED THIS FEATURE!!!
Will this change/undo all of my rooms? I have spent a lot of time decorating my pets rooms and I hope it doesn’t change them. Does anyone know if it will reset my pets rooms or keep them the same? Thanks!
I hope we can eventually remove and rearrange rooms, despite it not being super realistic- neither is moving doors hahah! But I know it would be nice to get rid of some of the rooms I never use
I think that they should make adding a room with a new pet optional after your first pet. especially for people with a lot of rooms.
