Wednesday Updates 04/01/12

There is also a Super School Day at the Kinzville Academy. During these Super School Days, every class a pet passes will count for 2 days of classes instead of 1.

After a short break, the first Wednesday updates of the year have arrived, and they bring many new and exciting additions to Webkinz World!

Four new Challenges have been added.
These Challenges are: 

• Journey to Treasure Island Challenge

This Challenge follows the theme of a pirate's adventures on the high seas in search of the legendary Treasure Island. This Challenge will be unlocked to those who have completed the golf-themed Webkinz Open Challenge. It has 4 sets of tasks to complete instead of the usual 3, so be prepared!

•    CampKinz Cookout Challenge

This Challenge is a fun trip through the forests to a CampKinz Cookout! This Challenge also has 4 sets of tasks, and will be unlocked to anyone who has already completed the Key to Kinzville.This is a Challenge that involves asking friends for assistance, much like the Christmas challenge in December.

• Goober's Assistant Challenge

This fun little Challenge features our good scientist Goober. You'll need to help him out by playing some games and collecting some items. Hope you're good at Goober's Lab! This Challenge has only 2 sets of tasks, and will be unlocked after the Meet Mr. Moo Challenge is complete.

• Egyptian Expedition Challenge

This Challenge has 3 parts, and is Deluxe Only. Players will get to prepare for a trip through Egypt, exploring the sands and finding ancient artifacts. It will be unlocked to Deluxe members who complete the All Star Astronomer Challenge.


The Winter Line has been unveiled at the KinzStyle Outlet!
This line consists of warm coats and sweaters, three pairs of boots, and even a hat and a dress. Save your coupons--the prices have raised considerably in comparison to the fall line. The items that make up this line are:

•  Argyle Sweater--230 KC (not to be confused with the grey, green, purple, and orange sweater of the same name, which costs 55 KC and has been around for awhile!)
•  Checkered Fleece Jacket--325 KC
•  High Top Sneakers--100 KC
• Cozy Sweater and Scarf--210 KC (yay! Scarves for our Webbies!)
• Lace Up Boots--150 KC
• Pink Beanie Cap--185 KC
• Puffy Crested Jacket--345 KC
• Rhinestone Buckle Boots--175 KC
• Slinky Pink Sweater--310 KC
• Tunic Tutu--235 KC (this is a dress, with a pink skirt, and a black and white striped top with some design you can hardly see on the front. If you like the Lightweight Striped Top and Ruffled Skirt, then don't buy the two, just buy this dress--it's cheaper and looks almost identical.)

The Winter Room and Winter House Party Packs are for sale at the W-Shop!
With these Party Packs, one can set up a wintery party at either their house (750 KC) or at the Clubhouse (1,000 KC). 

Also, don't miss the Polka Dot Welcome Mat, sold for 200 KC at the W-Shop. This is a piece of furniture that's sold to accompany the eStore Polka Dot Theme, but it's also very easy to use with any other theme. Though you should know that it's not really good value for 200 KC, as it barely takes up a corner of a single tile, and in-room, looks more like a bunch of circles somebody spilled while crafting than anything else.

Super School Day

Today is another Super School Day at the Academy!


Super School days normally occur about once a month, but lately they have been showing up every Friday. Will this be a normal event? We'll have to wait and see.

4th of July Clicky-Floaty Event at Webkinz Newz!

Visit the Webkinz Newz today for a really neat Floaty-Clicky event for Independence Day! Just look around for a floating Baseball Helmet, that looks exactly like the one in the picture below. Click on it, fill in the required form, and you will receive the whole Baseball Uniform (everything in the picture below) and a KinzStyle Shop bag. You may only win once per account.

This is the prize! A KinzStyle Shop Baseball Helmet, Pants, and Jersey!

There is a crucial difference between the KinzStyle Outlet and the KinzStyle Shop.

OUTLET          

PJ Collie. A very talkative host.

                                                                  

• Hosted by PJ Collie                                              
• Found on the Map to Kinzville, next to the W-Shop
• Can be visited whenever
• No codes required
• None of her clothes can be found in real life for plush pets (unless you make them yourself)
• The clothes are always the same (exceptions for Halloween/Christmas clothing)
• Unique features of the Outlet: T-Shirt Designer and Clothing Machine

SHOP

Persephone. The fashionable host for the KinzStyle Shop and SuperModelz.

• Hosted by Persephone
• Can only be visited if you have a KinzStyle shopping bag
• Can be visited whenever...if you have a shopping bag, and can't be visited again once you buy something. 
• A code for any plush clothing is required to get the shopping bag.
• The clothes are always the same, but aren't all in stock at the same time. Log out and visit again if you want the stock to change. 
• Unique features of the Shop: When you enter the code for any article of plush clothing, you will receive a virtual copy of that clothing for free in Webkinz World, along with the KinzStyle bag so you can buy something else.

Also, visit the Kinzville Academy today, because it's yet another Super School Day! They've been having a lot of those recently

Summertime Events in Webkinz World!

The Summer Solstice will be here tomorrow on the 21st. The Solstice marks the longest day of the year--it's also when Summertime officially begins!

Here are the events for June in Webkinz World.

June 21: A Click-To-Win event at Webkinz Newz. Be on the lookout for an Orange Table, which is part of the Farm theme found in the Curio Shop. When the Table floats by, click on it and fill out the form, and you will be given an Orange Table and a Pineapple Lamp for your Webkinz World account!

June 21: Is also another Super School Day at the Kinzville Academy! Just go to the Academy and go through your classes as usual, only on Super School Day, all classes will count double!

June 28: Be certain to log into Webkinz World today for the Summer Sensation! The Summer Sensation is an event that has been celebrated in Webkinz World since 2007. Today, you will receive an exclusive Summer Sensation Prize when you log in, and you get to spin the Super Wheel!
The Super Wheel is a very anticipated event in Webkinz World. To date, it can only be spun on the following days:
Webkinz Day (April 29)
Valentine's Day (February 14)
Summer Sensation (June 28)
Veterans Day (November 11)
Christmas Day (December 25) (since 2008)
Halloween (October 31) (since 2009)
The Super Wheel normally contains a rare item, 2 Exclusive items, a retired rare item, a very expensive piece of W-shop furniture or a seasonal W-shop furniture piece (for instance, on Christmas 2010 you could win a Winter Window), and, since Halloween 2010, even an eStore item. There's even a Bear Tapestry, a very rare item indeed since it only shows up on the Super Wheel and doesn't every time. The Super Wheel has always contained 500 Kinz Cash and 750 Kinz Cash, since its addition to Webkinz World in 2006.

June 30: Daily activities switch to the Summer schedule, starting at 9AM Kinz Time, and ending at 11 PM Kinz Time.
