Preview: Keeping The Park Clean
After spending the last two months working hard on the Webkinz Arcade, we’ve decided to focus our energies on a different part of the site. After launching late last year, the Kinzville Park has become a popular place to play in Webkinz World. There’s always new people to meet and play with in the Park! While the park has become popular, though, it has also become dirty. Trash has begun to appear in the park, and it’s up to us to think of the environment and clean up the park! That’s why we’ve got a brand new activity called “Keeping The Park Clean,” which challenges each and every one of you to help us keep the park pristine! More details and a screenshot follow after the break.

Preview: Tunneling Twigzy, Our New Arcade Game
With the addition of Polarberry Jam and Jumbleberry Fields in December, the Webkinz Arcade has been bustling lately. And while everyone has been enjoying deftly dodging Yetis and collecting berries, we’re not done with the Arcade yet. Coming soon is another brand new arcade game for your playing pleasure that will not only provide some fun solo play but will also give you the chance to compete for high scores in the Tournament Arena. Introducing Tunneling Twigzy! Tunneling Twigzy is part puzzle game and part action game, requiring both quick fingers and a quick mind. As the courageous caterpillar Twigzy, players must dig through a tree trunk to reach the ultimate party pad located towards the bottom of the trunk. While digging downwards, players must also move left and right to avoid the falling debris that tumbles down behind them as they move down the tree. More details and a screenshot follow after the break.
In Room: Signature Dutch Bunny
As has become tradition, the Tree Kangaroo, Old English Sheepdog, and Beaver featured pets for February will be joined by a special Signature pet, the Signature Dutch Bunny. February’s Signature pet comes with Boerenkoleslaw and a Tulip Garden, which is pictured below. Soft to the touch and happy to hop into your arms, the Signature Dutch Bunny loves to snuggle. You’ll have to mind the vegetables in your yard around this one, though, as it tends to trounce about its Tulip Garden in search of carrots for some breakfast Boerenkoleslaw. Snag a Signature Dutch Bunny in February 2010!
In Room: Old English Sheepdog
Along with the Beaver and the Tree Kangaroo, the Old English Sheepdog is one of our featured pets for February 2010.

The Old English Sheepdog is a refined rascal who is always ready to go for a ride in its dashing Double Decker bus. This proud pet loves to feel its shaggy white coat rustling in the wind while wheeling around Webkinz World almost as much as it loves snacking on some Sheepherders’ Pie. Shop for this Sheepdog in February 2010!

Joining the Beaver as one of our featured pets for February is the Tree Kangaroo. The Tree Kangaroo comes with a Tropical Fruit Flan and the Remote Rainforest, which is pictured below.

Preview: Duck Crossing, Our New Arena Game
The Webkinz Arcade has received a lot of attention from us recently. Earlier this month, we launched Polarberry Jam and Jumbleberry Fields, two new games for the Arcade. What about the Tournament Arena, where you can play multiplayer games against your friends? We haven’t forgotten about the Arena, and this week, we’re giving you a sneak peek of our newest Arena game, Duck Crossing! Duck Crossing is a strategy game that requires planning and patience. Each player controls a duck, and the goal of the game is to move your duck from one end of the pond to the opposite end. Players take turns moving ducks one space at a time. Players can also spend a turn placing “reeds,” which are walls that the ducks cannot pass through. Strategically placing reeds is the trick to winning. More details and a screenshot follow after the break.

Preview: Jumbleberry Fields, Our New Daily Game
The Webkinz Arcade has been in the spotlight as of late. With two new games planned for the remaining few weeks of the year, the Arcade will be a hotbed of activity during the holiday season. Last week, we gave you a sneak peek at one of the two new games coming, Polarberry Jam. This week, we’re giving you a sneak peek of our new Daily Activity game. Introducing Jumbleberry Fields! Jumbleberry Fields is a game of chance and strategy that players can play once a day. Players roll a set of five dice, each of which has 10 faces. Each of the faces, marked with either a type of berry or a pest, has a different point value. Jumbleberries and Sugarberries are common, Pickleberries are less common, and Moonberries are rare. Players move through 9 rounds, rolling each dice up to three times in an attempt to earn the most points possible by making varying combinations of berries. More details and a screenshot follow after the break.
