Please be aware, although we sent out our newsletter and updated our blog, many of you are still experiencing issues logging into Webkinz World™. One thing to try is log in and give it a full minute to let the page load! There were lots of updates and it took me a long time to get to my main newspaper home page. I'm sure Ganz is aware of the problem and working to resolve it as soon as possible.
Ever wonder what the back of the Curio Shop looks like? Due to a bug yesterday and today, some people got a rare glimpse into Arte's World :) Scroll to the bottom to see the picture...

Halloween theme is finally here!! Check it out in the W-Shop....
Also, special thanks to Gale who had the chance to adopt a Clownfish, Pink and White Dog, Hummingbird, Bubblegumasaurus, Blue Triggerfish, Porcupine, and Buffalo! and for sending us pictures of all of them
10/1/2008 9:12:41 PM
Thanks to everyone who sent in pictures of the new exclusive eStore online pet Bubblegumasaurus. We'll get them posted later tonight... Congrats on your adoptions!
10/1/2008 11:23:55 AM
We have added a picture of the new exclusive item Wading Pool.
We added the Crafty Critters Trophy... you can only get for having your craft selected for display
in Crafty Critter's Corner. The Giant Bamboo Garden was the new
exclusive in the Webkinz eStore today. Also, pictures of a few new Aztec items
have been added....Finally, a new party picture of a fantastic Wishing Well cake...
9/28/2008 5:48:58 PM
Giant Bamboo Garden available as a brand new item in the Webkinz eStore today.
Seems like some problems in the trading rooms the past few days... everyone is getting a System Error message...
Bullfrog owners, don't forget to do your bonus Wheel of the Month today! Everyone doing the jellybean challenge at 7pm KinzTime should take a quick peek at our guide
9/28/2008 8:28:20 AM
Don't miss the Wheel of the Month on Saturday! Many of you have been asking questions about items already on the site, but maybe you couldn't find them... and search wasn't as obvious as it should have been on the Home menu above... so use the search here in the middle of the homepage to find things like 'Flip Flop Flapjacks' or 'Trickle Treacle'. Thanks, and enjoy the site!!
9/26/2008 10:11:28 PM
Not much to new to report... Fall Fest is over... hope you got a chance to grab some items and decorate a room... We'll post Room of the Week favorites soon... we have added some more pictures to the Aztec theme.... Hope you are still enjoying your vacations! Anyone have 3 pieces to the puzzle yet?
9/24/2008 9:18:43 PM
The problems in Webkinz World have been fixed and the leaves are falling again! Enjoy Fall Festival!! You should be able to catch a lot more items again...Also, many of you reported a glitch in the QuickDraw... hope you were able to use those 100 entries and win yourself something good!!
9/21/2008 10:22:18 PM
We have a great fall festival room from long time community member Bubette... we also filled out the Aztec theme and checklist and await dock pictures from everyone :)
School Room of the Week ends today... get those school rooms in and we will post our favorites as soon as possible...
9/20/2008 8:45:53 AM
DAILY ACTIVITIES ARE BACK... we thought Ganz had changed their programming, but it must have been a glitch... we are happy to report the schedule is back and you can once again plan your week in advance!! Don't miss Token Balloon Dartz on Saturday and again Sunday for POTM.
Fall Festival is underway... we have collected pictures of all the items under Pictures->Other->Holiday Gifts. I was able to easily catch 10 of them just by hanging out in my room. They came every few minutes, even if I missed one. Orange Cable Knit Sweater, Decorative Cornucopia, and Fall Festival Place Setting seem to be the 3 new items this year, along with a bunch of the ones from last year too.
We also posted the Tropical Vacation Pirate Costume to the costume page under Pictures->Collections->Costumes... this is a great time to start thinking about how to dress your pets for Halloween.
9/18/2008 10:04:55 PM
New Theme today from Arte... it's called Aztec Theme and the first item became available today in the Curio Shop... thanks to everyone that sent in pictures. Also some new clothes in the W-Shop. Check 'em out.
In other great news, I have been informed by Ganz --perhaps because of our survey-- that KinzChat Plus and Coral Cove
have been worked on and will continue to be improved. However, to make them temporarily better, with today's release,
Player vs. Player games have been shut off. That means you can not play games such as Atomicolicious, Chef Challenge and Supermodelz.
The goal is to have them back and running by Christmas, while keeping all the fixes to the clubhouse working!
We were also given a set of tips on using the clubhouse...
Don't forget Fall Festival starts tomorrow... click on a leaf if you see it floating across your screen! We will have the
complete collection posted as soon as possible. Click here to see the 9 items from last years collection.
9/17/2008 8:59:29 PM
Webkinz Wednesday at the eStore brings back the Floral Fox today... this great pet is only available online and only some Wednesdays...
9/17/2008 11:26:40 AM
Sorry the site was down this morning... our hosting provider had some problems and helped us get the site up as soon as possible.
9/15/2008 12:50:38 PM
Our September Newsletter went out last night. If you are not already on our
mailing list, or didn't get it for some reason, you can see it and sign up here.
Over the past few months, I have received lots of requests to have checklists for all sorts of different picture
pages. We have designed a way to automatically have a checklist associated with each picture page!
For all of you that are checklist crazy like I am, enjoy... aside from the master list, you can also get to
the checklist from the picture page.
We started a new School Room of the Week contest. Thanks to Stacy for sending in
the suggestion... if you have others you would like to see, let me know...
Spinneretti is solved!
9/14/2008 8:37:10 AM
This week Surprise Saturday brings us the Atomic Lamp! Enjoy...
Our apologies to the players of Smoothie Moves... although we thought the high score was fixed, it is not and even at 400 you get an error and no KC. Sorry!!
PLEASE take our new survey below! I receive many emails a day from users who can not use the Coral Cove and I would like to forward the results of this survey to Ganz!
9/13/2008 8:21:05 AM
A bunch of people have asked me about Smoothie Moves... saying they got an 'unreasonable' high score. Ganz has raised the high and people good at the game can get up to 500 KinzCash before you receive that message.
We are hard at work on a complete checklist collection and it should be out this weekend. We will have matching checklists for all of our picture theme and collection pages!!
9/11/2008 8:19:21 AM
Webkinz Wednesday at the eStore today... along with the regular Wednesday Grey Wolf, today you can also buy the Floral Fox (online pet only). Special thanks to Terri K. for sending in pictures of her new adoption.
9/10/2008 7:59:34 AM
Room Names - Webkinz has redesigned how we are able to name our rooms. You can no longer type anything you want (which hasn't worked in over a year now). Now you select a room name from a list. You are given a nice selection of prefix's like your pet's name and suffix's like kitchen/bath/backyard.
Halloween Update - The most common question I get this time of year is when the Halloween items will be available. I have been informed by Ganz it will either be Oct 1st or Oct 15th (they haven't decided yet). Furthermore, this year, all items will be available in the W-Shop. In years past some items were 'rare' and only appeared in the Curio Shop. Also, they have some great new items, but have retired some of the older items... and they wouldn't tell me what they were :(
9/8/2008 5:18:14 PM
Please check out the new Travel Agency menu item on the Other Stuff tab above... We started an information page and have the picture page! Please email me any additional info you want me to add to the page.

Chickadee, Eagle, and Floppy Pig pictures are added...
Work is underway to collect and organize all of the vacation items... here is a sneak preview

A small bug has been fixed on the Gem Hunt Card... If you were getting N or NaN that should be fixed now.

We'll have them posted soon too!
Please remember to use our sponsors if something interests you... they have helped keep this site free for two years and will continue to do so in the future!
