Latest Update: October 14, 2025
We are happy to announce that early access for the browser-based version of Webkinz Classic is now available! Now you can play with your account on either the browser version or on the Desktop App – all of your data is the same, and you can go back and forth. While this is early access, most of your favorite features are already up and running. We are continuing to work on the features that are not yet available, as well as fixing bugs. We are happy to report that both TVs and the coloring book are working again on the browser version!
Known Issues:
We have a detailed list of unavailable features and current known issues below. These issues relate to the Browser Based version of Webkinz Classic only. If you are playing using the PC/MAC Application, these issues will not appear. The mobile application for Webkinz Classic has limited features and is also not affected.
General Issues:
- Some error messages are not being displayed. If the game just stops working, please refresh your web page and the game should start working again.
- Dragging items from the dock is not working perfectly. We recommend holding down until the icon attaches to your cursor before dragging the item.
- While the game has been coded to scale to any size, the Things to Do menu is not scaling at this time.
- While you can go to the browser-based version of the game on your phone or tablet, the game has not been optimized for these platforms, and we do not consider the game playable on these platforms at this time.
My Room:
- Pet Actions are not animating properly in the room.
- The following in-room items/activities are currently still in-development:
- Movie Maker
- Jigsaw Puzzle
- Air Hockey
- Go Fish
- Trading Card Series 1 Binder
- Trading Card Series 2 Binder
- Star Collector’s Carousel
- Gem Hunt Jewel Box
- Webkinz Figure Display Case
- All Building Kits
- All Saplings
- Clocks
W-Shop:
If you have the Pet Action dock open, then open the W-Shop, the Shop’s close button will not work. Please ensure that you have the item dock visible before opening the W-Shop.
Arcade:
Note: Some games, like Cash Cow are using the original versions, not the later versions used in the App. This is intentional.
The following games are not currently available on Browser. They can still be played in the PC/Mac App, and mobile App where applicable:
- Flutterbugged
- Goober’s Atomic Adventure
- Grand Grotto
- Jumbleberry Blast
- Leapin’ Llama
- Pet Party Parade
- Spree
- Tile Towers
- Wacky-er Zingoz
- Webkinz Scrambled
- Whimsy Sky
- Zingoz Pop
- Zingoz Zangoz
Curio Shop:
All items in both the normal and Deluxe shops are showing all items as Arte’s Favorite. This is just a visual error. Incorrect items will not be counted as Arte’s Favorite items for Challenges.
Daily Activities:
- Jellybean Challenge is not working. If this activity is available, it must be played in the App version.
- Super School Day bonuses are not recognized.
- The link to Spree does not work as the game is not available.
- Quickdraw events do not properly award prizes. Please play on App version to avoid missing prize.
Clubhouse:
Some events/giveaways are not currently working in the browser-based version. These events are working in the PC/Mac App version. The events affected are:
- Halloween Ghost Event
- Countdown to Christmas Event
- SantaKinz Event
- Cinnamon Chocolate Stand (Valentine’s Day)
Zumwhere Zum Room (Magical Forest):
The graphics for toys, food, and furniture do not appear in room or in the game’s dock. This is a display bug only. The items are there and can be dragged from the game’s dock into the world and the Zums will react to them. That said, this makes it very difficult to play. We recommend using this feature on the PC/Mac App at this time.
Sections In Development:
Some sections of Webkinz are not currently available in the browser-based version. These areas are in development and are currently planned to be included in the final version.
- Adventure Park
- Kinzville Park
- Music Starz
- Webkinz Stadium
Additional Issues:
- Nafaria will not appear to trade for your gems. She is still appearing in the PC/Mac App.
- The New Account tutorial and Ms. Birdy Fundamentals are not working at this time.
- Your in-game Phone (Friends List) cannot be customized.
If you find an issue in the browser-based version that is not included in this list, please let us know in the comments below. If you have an issue with adopting a pet or with an eStore purchase, please contact Webkinz Customer Support directly.
Some clothing is not showing up properly, like the halloween fairy dress and circlet are not showing up on my pet in the room, but are showing up in the “dress my pet” section, “my pets” and on the bottom left icon. The halloween fairy dress shoes are showing up on my pet in the room. Also the movie director beret is appearing to be red in my pets but normal color in dress my pet. Small things! Amazing work so far!
On Hoppy Little Rocketship, I noticed a bit of bugs within the game. First the background doesn’t move throughout the entire game and remains at the same place throughout your whole play through, it doesn’t become darker or show how far you are to the moon. The next issue is that the Pink Peacock and Blufadoodle Platforms don’t appear, and are invisible the entire game. Also the clouds don’t cause collisions, but I don’t mind that as much. But these issues are what I discovered when I played Hoppy Little Rocketship on the Browser Demo.
I can’t seem to even access the clubhouse at all. The button to enter the rooms isn’t clickable. I am playing on an updated version of chrome. Also the dock will not lower, only the little menu on the right side.
Same here, but I am so glad to be able to access the browser based Classic again!
The Wheel of Wishes from Today’s Activities takes you to the deluxe Wheel of Wishes instead of the special Saturday wheel with the birthstone prizes. It didn’t let me spin, gave me an error of “something went wrong”, took me back to the activities page when I clicked okay, and the arrow for the activity was removed when nothing was awarded.
Even if your button disappeared in the browser app, the button will be there in the desktop app and you can spin there. This happened to me this morning as well.
I tried to spin the Wheel of Wishes from the Activities page- got an error message and then the page reset itself/logged me out before I could even read what it said. When I logged back in, the button was gone as if I had already used that action.
Oops, I missed one item that is silent and shouldn’t be: Valentine Music Box, though to be fair, this has been silent for a decade since Webkinz X was implemented. I really want the sound back for this music box. :D
Today’s Bug Report…as always, I am playing with the Firefox browser on a Linux Mint OS.

Serene Stone Wallpaper, Fairy Den Wallpaper, Four Seasons Tree, Magic W Coaster, Whiplash Splash, Dragon Adventure Rollercoaster, Underwater Cavern Wallpaper, Changing Seasons Tree, Alyssa’s Star Challenge Wallpaper
Magical Forest glitches
* Fairy Falls is broken. You can choose a path to take, but once you click on a fairy, all the fairies disappear and you get no prize.
* Woodland Wonders and Magic Mire – you can click on a fairy and get a prize, but you can’t click the “OK” button to exit from the prize screen. You either have to click the “X” button at the top right or leave the Magical Forest and go to the arcade to escape from the prize screen.
* Alyssa’s Star Challenge – You can get a star, but when you get to your collection screen, Alyssa never goes away and you can’t rotate your collection using the arrow buttons, nor can you switch to one of the other collections. You have to go to the Arcade to get out of the star collection screen. Also, Alyssa repeats the last word of each sentence, i.e. “Look at the star you’ve found! Found! I’m always looking for stars to add to my collection! Collection!”
<Miscellaneous glitches
The floaty clicky medallion is moving verrrrrry slowwwwwwly across the screen.
I cannot drag anything from the dock to the Wshop to sell it.
Growing Gardens seeds have to be harvested by clicking on the very bottom part of the plant or the soil the plant is growing in; clicking any part of the plant no longer works.
When you click on the Fall Fest item Glowing Fall Lantern, your pet says things like “Good Eats!” or “Mmm to the mmmmmax”. The pet thinks it’s being fed when you click the Glowing Fall Lantern!
In the Arcade, the game of the day is blank. I have no idea what the game of the day is, lol, nor can I play it, because the big blank space is not clickable.
Fiona Feathers’ animation is weird when you mail a package.
On the good news front, everything that works is blazing fast!
And the secret to moving items out of your dock is to click something and hold it until a ghost image of the item appears above your cursor, and then you can move the item.
On Polar Plunge, the ski ramps aren’t affecting movement. Inukshuk sleds through them like they don’t exist.
I keep receiving a “Stage3D error: Context3D not available” error after logging in, every time I log in on browser. I tried a different browser to see if the issue is because of the browser (chrome instead of my usual firefox) and it did fix the issue technically (it’s just that going to a different browser is as inconvenient to me as opening the webkinz-specific app, so I won’t be able to actually use the browser version until it’s available on firefox as well)
* “Don’t Rock the Boat” game on Vacation Island is broken. The window opens with the game, but the fonts have disappeared from the window and the sign is not clickable, so the game cannot be played. This happens on some of my Deluxe accounts but not all. * For the Wacky Challenge, asking people to send Jet Packs didn’t work whether I was asking a host or one of my accounts, yet that part of the challenge was suddenly completed, and Amanda Panda, Alyssa Fairy, and Arte Kinz were shown to have sent the Jet Packs. Prior to showing up as having sent the Jet Packs, all three of those hosts were still showing up on the friends list even though I sent them requests several times. (I would check the box and hit Request, and open the list again, and those three hosts were still on the list, so it seemed like the requests did not go through.) So I’m surmising there is a long delay between sending the request and the Jet Pack being sent. * This pop-up message in the Message Center was received upon logging in after doing Peek-a-Newz on Webkinz Newz: “You have been sent undefined undefined from [site]! It has been added to your account.” *Wheel of Wishes: the sound is out of sync with the graphics. I won KinzCash on the Wheel of Wishes, and I knew that as soon as I spun the wheel, and before the wheel stopped spinning, because the KinzCash award sound played before the wheel spinning sound. * Exclusives that retired are suddenly available for purchase from the Wish Factory again. ( I strongly advise people not to buy those, because that might be counted as a exploitable glitch by Ganz!) * You have to click very precisely on the KinzCash Machine in your room, or you do not get the 100 KinzCash coin the machine is supposed to dispense. You cannot click anywhere on the machine, only on the top quarter of it, where the cursor changes from an arrow to hand.
