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!

The items bought at the estore can they be used on both games, new and old? If no, will it be a possibility at some point? It seems like such a shame and very sad to have to choose between the two games. The new game is awesome for many reasons but I’ve had a classic account for many years with lots of pets and items. Also when will it be possible to send items between the two and send items from the store? Please advise. Thanks
You don’t have to choose — you can play both! They are different games. Right now there’s no way to send stuff back and forth.
My daughter has been playing this game for a few months now. I thought she was logged in with her Webkinz classic account, but I found out today that her sister created a new account for her using the “I’m New” button in the Webkinz next app. Neither of them remember the password so I cannot add her to my parent account. I also cannot figure out how to reset her password. Her device remembers her log in for her so she can currently still access the account, but if something ever goes wrong she will not be able to get back in. Her allowance comes to her in the form of gems, so I have spent a lot of money in that account and would like to secure it. Where can I find instructions to add her to my parent account or reset her password? Using the forgot password feature in Webkinz classic does not work.
hello mysticneonglow. That is frustrating. please contact customer support at webkinzsupport@ganz.com
Will you add everything back from the website onto Webkinz classic please. I don’t have my own laptop. I think this new Webkinz making you start over with pets is not fair to people who cannot play on the desktop anymore. I know you can still play classic but the mobile classic barely has anything besides your house and the w shop and some arcade games. You can’t get a job or go to the kinzville academy, curio shop, clubhouse, tournament arena, park, zumwhere, or kinzstyle outlet on the phone. I saw on the new Webkinz things like the curio shop are “coming soon.” It is the one that will get all these new features so you will probably be making us choose between playing with these features or playing with our own Webkinz we have had for years and have become attached to. I don’t want to play with some random dog that only exists in the app that I have little connection to. I want my Webkinz that I still have the stuffed animals and know all their names. Are you sure I won’t get ignored?
If not is there a way to convert desktop app to mobile or download pc apps to a phone? I found an article on “running Windows desktop apps on mobile devices. so it sounds possible. I guess I understand why you can’t transfer but if you can’t make that work at least give us this so I can trust you not to take it away.
There’s no need to convert because Webkinz Classic and Webkinz Next are two separate games and both are available to play. You can download the Webkinz Classic mobile app to continue playing on your phone. The Webkinz Classic Desktop App is not mobile compatible — it would require a full re-write to make it available on mobile
You don’t have to choose. Both games will continue to be supported.
Yeah I realize now the new pets have two codes. It’s just that usually that isn’t the way new generations of toys are so I didn’t know. But I already am playing both apps so that’s not completely what I mean by choosing. I meant more like you can either have one or the other at a time. One app lets you go places like the park and the Curio shop and one lets you play with your old pets. The only way I can go places with my pets and do lots of things with them is on the desktop. I was more concerned that with the desktop app and this new app being so much newer than the classic mobile they would get more updates and we would still have so much less things.
i don’t know about anyone else but I’m running in to many glitches. baby flies out of house when relieving itself, cant get clothes off pet, just to name a few.
Yes, I have the same problem for over a week, have contacted customer support and they say they will work on it. I cannot answer any requests from a pet, and yesterday Timber looked so tired and wanted to go to his bed, and he is flying in the blue screen on the far left side of the screen under the challenges, and I cannot even access the pool, trampoline or garden food that is in the back yard. Hoping it gets fixed fast, have tried clearing cache, as they said uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. Tried both of those then hard shut off on computer, and restarting. Nothing seems to help.
Hi, if anyone knows Ice Brightwinter on Webkinz next and has type chat, tell them I said you have to craft the pressed flowers picture. – Prince Huskyfate
there already is one
i mean, desktop app
lilana
Why cant you play on Chromebook? Disappointing. :(
Saaaaame
Is there an estimated date for the MacOS version of Webkinz Next 3D? I prefer my MacBook to the iPad app. Can you post that release date or estimate on the website or Webkinz News? I don’t want to miss out on a single day of Webkinz fun!! Thanks so much for all you do.
My Question?When will the new Webkinz be on a desktop app??
will this app work on a chromebook? i tryed to keep playing the webkinz classic but it said that it was no longer supported.
