Webkinz Clubhouse – More KinzChat Plus
You may have noticed that the KinzChat Plus area is open longer these days — it’s true, we’ve officially extended our KinzChat Plus hours until 8pm KinzTime (EST). Now you can chat longer and later, and we’ve added more of the rooms that you really love: Trading Rooms. To make space for more people over the coming holidays, we’ve removed some of the less popular rooms and added more color zones. What could be better? Soon we’ll be open on weekends, too! So stick around, watch Webkinz Newz for updates and keep chatting!
