Introducing the all-new Webkinz.
In 2005 Ganz introduced Webkinz and changed the world of toys forever. With a line of lovable plush and an exciting online world that brought the toys to life, Webkinz has been enjoyed by millions of kids, teens, and parents around the world.
Now we’re going to do it all over again. An exciting new Webkinz World, created from the ground up for a new generation of players and devices with tons of improvements and exciting new features…
NEW PETS
Pets in Webkinz are now better than ever! They look better and move better, with richer emotions. And your pet goes with you everywhere! Even when you play games at the arcade your pet will be with you to cheer you on.
INTRODUCING… BABIES!
Yes, we did it. Now your pets can combine their Sparks to create all new baby pets! Babies combine features of their parents and may also get unique colors and features all their own.
Every baby has rarity as well. Will yours be a rare or super-rare?
Then bring your baby home and care for it. Feed it, sing to it, play with it… even clean up after it.
Your baby will also make requests. Watch for Growth Moment requests… complete enough of these and your baby will grow (if you’d like) into a Kid Pet… then into a Full Grown Pet with Sparks of its own! Combine pets through the generations to create incredible – and super cute – babies. With billions of combinations, how will your baby look?
NEW MY HOME
Webkinz has always had the most exciting home-building system in any virtual world, and now it’s even better!
First, it’s an actual home! All your rooms are connected, with yards automatically added as your family grows. So now your windows show what’s outside and doors can be added, moved, and changed! No need to load your home map. Jump between rooms with a simple zoom out!
And how about editing? Every item can be placed where you want and how you want. Is there room on the table for one more glass? Place it! Place items on fireplace mantles, dressers, kitchen counters – even shelves! Are you an advanced decorator? Then turn on our all-new Advanced Mode and we’ll turn off the grid for perfect item placement and full item rotation!
NEW DRESS MY PET
Forget flat clothing, now all of our clothing is fully 3D and can be enjoyed from any angle! Expand your options with backpacks, necklaces, and bracelets.
And you’ll always see your pet dressed – in the dock, in Kinzville, even in games – with no restrictions on when or where your pet can change their clothes!
ALWAYS SOCIAL
In Original Webkinz hanging with other players and chatting were restricted to only a few areas. In the new Webkinz we’re always social. Chat anywhere, visit your friends at any time and invite them to join you anywhere, not just your home.
NEW KINZVILLE ACADEMY
Time for Class! Complete three classes and a pop quiz each day to earn school ribbons.
Exchange these ribbons for cool prizes your pet can wear or decorate with, or trade them in for skill cards that change the game itself in interesting ways.
NEW CURIO SHOP AND GEM MINING
Collect rare items and turn in your Wish Tokens for exclusives and other special prizes, and then head to our immersive mine and hunt for gems with other players!
Be sure to take a look around and explore the waterfall, the mushroom garden, and more. Complete your collection to earn the fabled Crown of Wonder!
INTRODUCING CRAFTING
Collect materials and use different crafting tables to create cool clothing and items for your pet.
SEASONS
Earn Season Points by completing tasks to collect prizes — get rewarded just for playing the game! Unlock the premium rewards level with a Season Pass and collect even more prizes.
ONE GAME FOR EVERYONE
However you like to play – on your PC, on a phone or on an iPad – you’ll always be playing the exact same game with the same items and same events!
A WHOLE NEW WORLD
The new Webkinz is completely new. Right now you’ll be getting in on the ground floor and watching our new game blossom and grow! It truly is an exciting time to play!

So come, Join the Family! Download Webkinz on PC, iOS or Android (MacOS coming soon) and begin a new journey of fun, family and play!
This feels like Club Penguin going to Club Penguin Island kind of. I woke up seeing this and I’m now having many mood swings. I’m sad the company will no longer work with Webkinz “Classic”. I like the new 3D look, but it’ll take some getting used to. I’ll stick with Classic for now :3
I heard that the Webkinz team will still be updating the classic version!
How does one “Combine Sparks”? Thanks
I have no idea, I’m pretty sure it’s in a kid friendly way and not one intended for adults
Go to the adoption center and click on the machine with the heart. Choose two of your pets and click Use Sparks. Unfortunately, this costs diamonds,
which costs real money. I hope this helped!
Will there be a website for the game, or will the updates be posted on this blog?
Do we not get to keep our old pets for the new game?
The games are completely separate. You can continue to play Classic with your existing pets.
so it’s not shutting done aug 2021? like the rumors going around are saying?
No, it’s not. That’s nonsense.
oh thank goodness. There would have been a lot of sad people around. Guess that’s why they’re called rumors.
I really enjoy the game a lot, this just bothered me.
Can you play the new Webkinz on the Computer? If so, How can I get it to work?
Yes, there’s a link to the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 machines.
please tell me what I am doing wrong. I went to Microsoft Store. It tells me I Own This Game. So I click on Play, and it takes me back to the store. I’ve gone in this circle over and over the last 2 days. So I tried Google Play. It says I have no devices to install on. I want it on my PC, not a device. Why can’t it install on my computer??? I would like to at least check it out, but it is not working for me. What’s wrong?? Will appreciate an answer.
p.s. I do have Windows 10
Check your Start menu to see if you’ve already got it installed. Otherwise, go to the Microsoft Store app in your dock and search for Webkinz. It should come up with the landing page and say Play
So if we continue to log in to like we always have, it will still stay the same?
Yup
Will there be updates to the webkinz classic app. I am bummed that i can’t do all of my usual tasks for the day like gem hunting.
I can’t get in, or when I do get in, it loads sections slow or not at all. The W Shop either doesn’t load, or when it does, it doesn’t show all of the items. Is there a way to scroll down? I type in my Classic Webkinz username and password, but I’m told it’s wrong. I’m frustrated and ready to quit!
this will not download on my laptop…..do you have to have windows 10 to do this?
Yes, the Windows version requires Windows 10
I have Windows 10, and I uploaded it the other day. This game would not let me use my password (told me it was wrong/invalid) and there was no button to go back. I literally had to shut off my computer because it opened up full screen and I could not make the tab smaller. Deleted off my computer for now..
If you mouse over the top of the screen, you can see the minimize/resize/close options. You can also use Shift-Windows-Enter to switch to a smaller sized window
