Wednesday Updates: July 6 2011

To start, the first half of a brand-new theme has been added to the W-Shop! 

It's the CampKinz theme! Cue lots of cheering from me, who has been waiting forever for a theme like this.

So far, the theme, which is outdoors or treetop only, consists of:
CampKinz Archery Range--325 KC. Decoration only
CampKinz BBQ Grill--630 KC. Can be used to cook food for your pet.
CampKinz Dead End Trail--125 KC.
CampKinz Fishing Chair--640 KC. Your pet can sit on this item.
CampKinz Marshmallow Pit--550 KC. Animated item. (Actually "anmiated", due to a typo.)
CampKinz Nature Trail--150 KC.
CampKinz Picnic Bench--280 KC. Your pet can sit on this item.
CampKinz Picnic Table--600 KC. Decoration only.
CampKinz Curvy Trail--150 KC.


A new treasure hunt has been added. 
The prize is a virtual Koala Archaeologist figurine. The contest begins today and will end August 2, 2011. 
The only downside is that the hunt has been removed for repairs, after players who made it to clue #3 were just being sent back to clue #1. 
There's still time to complete the Treasure Hunt for the Dear Diary Leopard Figurine, however! Hurry, because this hunt ends July 15. 

The Wheel of WOW has been Smurfified!

You may have noticed the floating Smurfs that have been flying around Webkinz World for a while. Well, now the Wheel of WOW has been updated to match. 

Contests!
 1. Rooster Contest--Running from July 1 to July 31. Submit a list of your top 10 favorite activities to do at camp, and you could be randomly selected to win 1 of 5 codes for a Virtual Rooster. The Rooster is the POTM for August. Here are the Rules. (though why it says the prize is either a Winged Tee or, more rarely, a Zilma Sweet Zum, is beyond me...)


2. My Great Webkinz Collection Contest: Starts July 6, ends July 13. From the Webkinz Newz....Show off your Webkinz collection in a creative way and you could win a virtual code for the Webkinz pet of your choice (the Prize)! Your choice is limited to regular Webkinz pets that are normally sold as plush, and non-promotional eStore pets. Signature, Signature Endangered and promotional pets are not eligible prizes.
Here are the Rules.
3. CampKinz Room Design. Starts July 8, and ends July 10. Design a room using at least 1 item from the CampKinz theme, and you could win a Camping Prize Pack. Any room can be used, but you must use only W-Shop items (retired items are OK.) Here are the Rules.
Enter these contests here!

Judy Moody, Bactrian Camel, new clothes, and more!

Today's updates have brought us many amazing things in Webkinz World!

Firstly, let us announce July's Signature Pet...the Bactrian Camel!

Remember when we told you about the Judy Moody room, which was to be added to the Clubhouse soon? Well, as of today, it's a reality! 

The room is available in both KinzChat and KinzChat+.

Each day when you visit the room, you can watch a trailer for Judy Moody and the Not-So-Bummer-Summer. After the trailer, you answer some trivia. Then you win some Judy Moody related prizes! Click around the room after winning your first prize, and you can find some extra ones! How fun! You can even win a paperweight the size of a Lil'Kinz.

The Key to Kinzville is even easier to get now. 

Webkinz players who were around when the Key to Kinzville was introduced may remember how ambitious it was. You had to attend the Academy and Employment Office for 3 days, make and spend an incredible amount of KC, go through a whole category of Quizzy's questions...a number of Webkinz users simply gave up. Then Ganz made the game easier, but younger players and those who didn't have the time to work up enough KC were still having trouble. Well, today, Ganz has made the game easier still!


The Today's Activities Page has a new layout. 

Rather than the activities being in their separate tabs, they are all now on a single page. The kind of activity is defined by a sprite to the left of the activity title: a Deluxe symbol for Deluxe-only activities, an Arcade symbol for games-related activities, and so on. The theme has changed to blue rather than yellow. 

The Wacky Zingoz Hot Air Balloon and Giant Zingoz Plushie are now a vehicle and chair, respectively. 

The Balloon is won from the Wacky Zingoz Log-out Carnival, and the Plushie is from the SPREE! game. 
They were supposed to be a vehicle and chair, but their programming glitched and they were decoration only--no longer! Ganz has fixed this.
