Kinzville Newz is now Webkinz Newz!
Kinzville Newz has just had a make-over: we’re now known as Webkinz Newz! Our new official URL is www.webkinznewz.com, but you can still use both www.kinzvillenewz.com and www.kinzvillenews.com to reach us. We’ll be updating the newspaper in Webkinz World soon, too. Can you guess what its new name will be? (Hint: It’s not Kinzville Newz… that would be too easy!)

Weekend Challenge Results
I went over by a minute by the time I finished taking screenshots — but around 100 KC in just over 20 minutes isn’t half bad! I played casually, and did not manage to complete many challenges, so I probably could have done better. How well did you do?
Weekend Challenge – Bamboo Break
Have you tried Bamboo Break yet? It’s one of our newest games, found in the Arcade and the Tournament Arena. This weekend, the challenge is to make as much KinzCash as possible in 20 minutes of playing Bamboo Break. On Monday, I will post my before and after KinzCash. Why not join in on the challenge — how much can you earn in 20 minutes?
