Preview: Communal Contests
Improving the community is one of our goals for Webkinz World this year, and we’ve been working diligently to reach that goal. We’ve enhanced the community aspects of Webkinz Newz, and we’ve improved the biggest social area in Webkinz World, the Kinzville Park, with some great new features to get more people meeting and chatting with one another. But we’re not done yet! We’ve been working on a brand new feature that will bring together Webkinz World members in a whole new way, and that feature is Communal Contests! This new weekly activity, which can be accessed through the Kinzville Times in Webkinz World, allows members to vote for prizes and participate in competitions every week! More details and a screenshot follow after the break.
