Here’s a great sketch by Sabina for Zoey’s Design Academy (below):
Is there an age limit or an age recommendation for Webkinz?
There’s no age limit but Webkinz is recommended for children ages 6-13.
1: Where did you get the idea for a golden magic w for the signature pets? I love signatures, but it’s sad you stopped them. :,,,,,,,,,,( 2: I’ve seen pictures of webkinz accounts with long happy, health, and hunger meters, and the park of you dock that says how mush kinzcash you have is UNDER you pet. How long was this dock style used, and when was it changed?? (PS I’m misty900, on a new account. ;) )
How can I access the game “Dice Kinz” All the time? I played it yesterday, when I pushed the big cash button, because it was advertized during the “Big Button of Cash ” game!!! I would like to play it again, but I can’t seem to find it!! please help! :)
okay here is a question: how do you judge the design a dog contest? is it random? IS IT VOTES? do you pick like 500 randomly and take the best from that? how will you judge?
The team at Ganz HQ will choosing the winners! It’s not based on votes.
My question for next episode is: Will Webkinz last forever or is there a plan to have a Finale?
OOH! OOH! i know what the first Wishing Well was like! it was kinda like a slot game, but im pretty sure they removed it cuzz parents were complaining cuzz they didnt want their children to be “gambling”, im not 100% shur tho.
