Halloween Events Have Begun in WW!

 I apologize in advance for my atrocious attempts at alliteration
So now that you have your pets clad in creepy costumes and your house in spooky splendor, it's time for more Halloween haunts for you and your Webkinz!

Participate in a chilling challenge: the Halloween 2012 Challenge is up! Go to your pet's room to begin the 3-part Challenge, which starts today and goes on until October 31! The grand prize isn't really a surprise--it's in the Challenge icon--it's the eStore Midnight Monster Golem!

Here are the prizes:

Stage 1: 50 KinzCash, Chocolate Tombstone to eat.

Stage 2: Slimesicle to eat, Bloodcurdling Bat Sticker to place on a wall

Stage 3: eStore Midnight Monster Golem furniture item.  Well that escalated quickly

At the same time, you can satisfy your cravings for candies with the Halloween Candy Challenge! On the Map to Kinzville, click on the Vampire Pop that should be there, next to the My Page button. Just for clicking on it, you get a piece of candy; then, ask your friends for more pieces! You can gain an additional piece from finding an advertisement on WKN, but that's giving out Fall Fest prizes right now so that's good luck for those who missed a few but not so much for those who'd rather get candies. You can only get 5 pieces of candy per day from friends...or buy them for 500 eStore points (50 cents) a pop instead. Either way, you're either out 5 days of asking and clicking, or 15,000 eStore points (15$).

Here are the milestones:
5 pieces of Candy gets you an edible Vampire Pop.
10 pieces of Candy gets you a Vampire Costume your pet can wear.
20 pieces of Candy gets you a Frightening Lightning Window, a retired Halloween item that can be placed on your wall.
30 pieces of Candy gets you a Haunted Hickory Sapling which you can plant in your yard and decorate. 

Then, check back in on October 20 in the Clubhouse for the Ghost! Same as it's been for years, just hang out in a Clubhouse room until the Ghost appears. Then, click on him and get a piece of candy! The Ghost will keep coming back until October 31. Collect all the pieces of candy he has to give you and get a special prize!
This year, the Ghost will exclusively appear in the Reading Room.

Wednesday Updates April 25, 2012

Sorry about the delay. Went camping on Wednesday.

The second half of the Spring clothing has been added to the KinzStyle Outlet. 

From the top left corner to the bottom right corner, these clothes are:
-Striped Cotton Dress--300 KC
-Layered Skirt--200 KC
-High Cut Runners--175 KC
-Purple Denim Jeans--225 KC
-Long Knit Sweater--185 KC
-Blue Argyle Sweater--190 KC
-Spring Fedora--150 KC
-Beige Toque--80 KC
-Lemon Lime Sash--110 KC
-Checkered Board Shorts--200 KC

Also, three more WKN exclusive clothing items have been added.
GanzWorld Striped Cotton Dress; GanzWorld Layered Skirt; GanzWorld Spring Fedora

 These three items--along with the second half of the Spring line--can be found from April 27-May 9 at Webkinz Newz, in a click-to-win. Just look for the floating PJ Collie to win!

Two new Challenges have been added in Webkinz World.

These next few weeks, at least, will be a doozy for players keeping up with their Challenges!
The first is CampKinz Canoe Trip, which is unlocked after completing the CampKinz Counselor challenge. This Canoe Trip challenge is categorized as a Mega Challenge, which, according to WKN, has "more challenging tasks and better prizes". This challenge is the first Mega Challenge in Webkinz World!

And by Mega, they are not kidding. I just checked, and these are the first three tasks in the challenge:
Ask your friends for 30 Maps
Earn a total of 25,000 points playing Pinky's Big Adventure
And...earn a total of 250 KinzCash playing Zacky's Quest in the Arcade
Dear goodness. It's a good thing that those KinzCash and points will accumulate over plays, so you don't have to get it all in one shot. Let's get to playing, I suppose! 

The second challenge is Plumpy's Great Advice, named after the book of the same name. It is unlocked after completing the Smarty Pants challenge. If you have a free vacation ticket, save it for this challenge--you will need it. This challenge is much easier in comparison to the one above--buy a hat, buy a book, earn 3,000 points in Goober's Lab. There are, however, 6 sets of tasks.

Contrary to what the WKN article said, the Webkinz Road Trip map has not been added to the site. 

The article in question said that the Road Trip map would be added to the site on April 25, but they either haven't put it there yet, or they did and just hid it really well. 

A Retro Replay Video Challenge has been added to the POTM video, "Tiger Tiger". 

The video, which was made for the Bengal Tiger (POTM for July two years ago) featured an unidentified pink monkey wearing some sort of dress that you couldn't find anywhere else. The monkey later turned out to be a Glamorous Gorilla, which was released a few months later. And now, you can get her outfit, too!
Just watch the Tiger Tiger Retro Replay video here, and answer the trivia to win this dazzling Dance Party Dress:
Your pet even wears the bracelets!
And yes, the dress can be traded and sent in KinzPost. 

They finally fixed that thing where when you win stuff it doesn't show up in a window

Here, here, let me explain it.
A lot of months back, Ganz added a feature where, when you won a prize from WKN, a window would appear upon logging into your account that would tell you exactly what you won. This was a really helpful feature, especially for click-to-wins with random prizes, as there is an incredibly high amount of players who had so many items in their docks that they couldn't take the time to discover what they'd won.
Unfortunately, a few months later, accounts with a certain amount of pets found that the window didn't show up for them anymore. Eventually, nobody was able to see the window.

As of today's update, my account with 16 pets on it is able to see the window! (where we discover that we've won yet another rain coat.)

And in Let's Talk Webkinz related news, sometime today, we reached our 10,000th pageview!

Plus, we got 99 pageviews in all of yesterday, which happens to be the current record on this blog. Huzzah! The viewership has been doubled! 
Thank you to everyone for helping us get this far!

Wednesday Updates 1/2/12

As promised, the Valentine's Day Quest has been added to the Adventure Park for anyone to play.


However, the author's computer cannot tolerate a room with 10 Webkinz in it, much less the park with 45 Webkinz in it like the one I found myself in, so details on this new Quest will be added at a later hour, perhaps in its own post. I do know that you have to talk to Alex the Tiger to start the Quest, if this helps anyone, and that, among other neat prizes, the Grand Prize for this Quest is the Chocolate Factory Machine (which is animated, too!).

Remember that this Quest ends when February does, and afterward the Quests are limited to just AP pets, so play while you can!


Three new Exclusives have been added.



In place of the Elephant Fountain, Wading Pool, and Tractor that were retired today, three new Exclusive Items have been added to the Wish Factory. If your pet is a budding scientist, then the Time Machine is for them...make sure they read the user's manual first! Speaking of the past, the Medieval Torch is a perfect addition to that castle your pet's been working on. Or perhaps they prefer to preform? If so, then the Dance Rehearsal Costume Rack will fit nicely in their room. 

Two new Challenges have been added.

Does your pet have team spirit? If you answered yes, then there's a perfect challenge for them: the Cheerleader Tryout Challenge. This is a 3-part challenge. Also, the Kinzville Babysitter Crew Challenge is available, which contains 2 sets of tasks. This Challenge is for Deluxe members only!

Ganz introduces a Retro Video Challenge.

 This is a normal Video Challenge, featuring A Dog With A Bow In Her Hair, the POTM song for the White Terrier, the Pet of the Month for February 2010. After watching this video and answering the questions, you are awarded with a A Dog With A Bow In Her Hair album cover, previously an eStore item. Limit 1 per account per day.

Webkinz Newz is holding a special Valentine's Day Click-To-Win.
Running daily from February 2-14 (excepting Feb. 4 and 11), you are searching for this heart.





Once you find it flying around, click on it to win any of the below prizes...
You can win a Heart Warming Wall Art, Be Mine Sneakers, Love Topiary, or Love Chocolate for your Webkinz World account. Sweet! These are all new prizes, even if some are merely recolored vectors, but hey, freebies. I'll edit this when I find out if the Love Chocolate is decorative or edible.

Wednesday Updates 18/1/12

As promised, the new game, "Scrambled", is out in the Arcade for all to play. 
I express slight concern for the omelet-making chickens.

Valarie VonScribe at Webkinz Newz has posted a how-to video, in case you need a little bit of help. 
In this new game, players are given the role of a chef for a restaurant, serving omelets to hungry Webkinz customers. You earn 1 KinzCash per every 40 points. 
You are given a flat of 12 eggs at the beginning of each level, and they don't regenerate until the start of the next level, so try not to waste them! 

This is what the layout will look like.


At the beginning of each level, a customer will arrive. Click on the customer to get their order.
Wherever the customer sits is where their order appears on that metal clipboard ring up there--for instance, a customer sitting on the far left side of the screen will have their order appear on the far left side of the ring.


Now that you know the customer's order, you can begin to make it. First, click on the egg flat to put the egg in the blender. (the eggshells automatically move to the trashcan under the counter.
Next, click on the bowl with whatever filling the customer wants for their omelet. In this case, it's onion, so click on the bowl with green chunks in it, and it will be added to the blender. Finally, click on the blender to mix it up, and click on the grill in front of your pet to start frying.

At first the omelet will look like this. After a few seconds, it will turn golden brown. Click on it when it does to fold it in half, and wait until it turns golden brown again. Then, click on the customer who ordered that omelet to give it to them.
Now you have served the first customer! Repeat these steps for every customer.
Some tricks I have discovered are:
Put the filling in the blender before the eggs to save a few seconds of time.
You can multitask. For instance, take an order while mixing up the omelet, and serve the omelet to a customer while preparing another one.
If your memory is good, you can try to fry multiple omelets at the same time.
If frying multiple omelets, don't serve one to a customer while pouring another onto the grill. You'll lose the omelet you've just poured.
You can blend the omelet before the filling is all the way to the blender.





Unlike what I previously thought, the customers in the game are totally randomized Webkinz, not some of your own. However, the pet you're playing as is the chef. The game is a good choice for those who play games for KinzCash, however, it can get pretty confusing very quickly. Practice will be key for this game! 
Remember that you get a neat trophy if you get past Level 10. 




To celebrate this new game, Webkinz Newz is having a Click-To-Win. Daily from Jan. 19-27, 2012, (excepting Jan. 21 and 26) watch for a flying omelet at Webkinz Newz. Click on it and fill in the form to win an Omelet, Egg Chair, or Egg T-Shirt! Exciting!
Here they are!






The Clubhouse has been updated, and The Classroom has been added.
Unfortunately, with the new layout, you cannot choose what room number you end up in, as it appears that this system has been done away with entirely and everybody ends up in the same room. 


I've made a list of the gains and losses from this new system.


There are more items added to the Winter 2012 KinzStyle Outlet line.


These items are:
  • Blue Earmuffs (120 KC)
  • Embellished Foldover Boot (170 KC)
  • Flannel Cuff Khakis (210 KC)
  • Fuzzy Winter Hat (90 KC)
  • Lime Bubble Coat (160 KC)
  • Mock Neck Sweater (140 KC)
  • Polar Fleece Coat (150 KC)
  • Sequin Hemmed Jeans (200 KC)
  • Stay Warm Sweater (250 KC)
Goodness, it's expensive for a Webkinz to stay warm in style. 

Three new Challenges have been added. 
 
 They are the Jungle Safari Challenge, CampKinz Counselor in Training Challenge, and CampKinz Counselor.

Winterfest Extended by 2 Days, Winterfest Challenge to be Added

Webkinz Newz has just posted an article that concerns Winterfest 2012. Due to the unexpected WW downtime on Tuesday, Winterfest will run until January 15, 2012, rather than January 13, 2012. This not only means two more days of Snowflake fun, it also means Webkinz fans get a chance to catch 20 more snowflakes. As you may know, there's a limit to 5 snowflakes per account on weekdays, but on weekends, you can catch 10! So, if you attend every day of Winterfest this year, you will have 65 prizes to eat, wear, and decorate with! (or throw in a storage bin so you can trade them in 4 years, or to sell for a large sum, if you'd rather do that.)
That's not all! Webkinz World players who log into their accounts this weekend will be given a free Winterfest Party Pack.
And last but not least, there will be a new Winterfest 2012 Challenge added to Webkinz World this weekend. Judging by this WKN article, which contains a video that tells what the prize for this Challenge is, there is only one set of tasks for this Challenge, but of course we will have to wait and see to make sure.

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.
