Webkinz Newz Posts Sneak Peek of Updated Clubhouse Coming 18/1/12

Their account has 1 hundred million, one hundred and thirty-six thousand, six hundred and eighty Kinz Cash. What is this I don't even

 

Webkinz Newz has recently posted a sneak-peek of the new Clubhouse layout, seen above. This new layout will include color-coded rooms, coded by the color of the thumbtack; a room previewer, demonstrated below; and more rooms, one of which, The Classroom, we can already see. I'm hoping that, based on the extra space added to the board, that this will allow more rooms to be added without getting rid of currently existing ones.

It also appears that pets will be given more phrases to say. And, this could just be looking too hard, but see those items in the player's dock? They're all FSI (figure specific items). Could this be a secret sneak-peek of future Treasure Hunt prizes in the future? If so, then we'll all be able to search for Series 1 figurines. Provided this is true, then be prepared to find, in order of appearance--Summer Vacation Dalmatian figure, KinzPinz Panda figure, Soccer Star Chocolate Lab figure, Cool and Casual Pinto figure, Happy Birthday Cheeky Monkey figure, and Fire Chief Elephant figure.
Or I could be thinking too hard, and the player just likes to collect chairs. ^ ^

Another Treasure Hunt!+Click-To-Win event+Leonberger Promotion

There is a new Treasure Hunt at Webkinz Newz!

This is a Back to School Treasure Hunt, beginning today, September 6, and ending October 5, 2011.
The prize for this Treasure Hunt is a Three Cheers Tiger, which comes with the Figure Specific Item of a Pompom Bean Bag Chair.

You'll be looking for this guy during the event.

Starting September 7, search at Webkinz Newz for a floating Alex icon. Click on it, and you'll receive one of these eight Webkinz Plushies for your account. One prize per account per day. This event ends September 30, so there's plenty of chances to get a plush!
However, Alex will not be flying on the following dates:
September 10, 12, 17 , 21, 23, 24, 29.

This pet comes with a Puppy Grub Tub PSI and Baked Bean Bratwurst PSF.

The Leonberger was previously released earlier this year, and has come back as a promotional pet. For every 50,000 eStore points one buys, they will get a Leonberger pet at no extra charge.

The October 2011 POTM is the Webkinz Black Cat. 
This is the first time in Webkinz history that a Seasonal pet has been made the Pet of the Month!

There will be a new Curio Shop Only theme soon!

Coming soon to the Curio Shop, the Neo-Gothic theme is a beautiful bold black and pink colored arrangement of intricately illustrated interior design.

Quite a Few Updates Wednesday, August 3

There were quite a few updates this Wednesday in Webkinz World.


FIRST UP!

The eStore (the one already in WW) has been updated. 

You can now buy virtual Mazin' Hamsters, pets, charms and figurines directly from the eStore in Webkinz World. 

There's a new theme at the W-Shop!
Come to think of it, there's a new theme every month. 
Anyhow, this theme is the Super Fan Theme. 

I really do like the theme--it's like an upgraded version of the Trading Card themes. What do you think?
Crazy for Webkinz Carpet---525 KC
Devoted to Webkinz Sofa---950 KC
Superfan Study Station---420 KC
Superfan Swivel Chair---175 KC
Superfan Wallpaper--125 KC
Webkinz World Widescreen---1225 KC
Superfan Flooring---150 KC
The second half should appear during the next major update, which is August 17.

The Rooster POTM Video is now working at Webkinz Newz. 
Now you can listen to the August 2011 Pet of the Month, the Rooster, sing "It's A Beautiful Day" at Webkinz Newz. Afterward, answer some trivia to win a Farmer's Wife Straw Hat for your pet. 

5 new recipes have been added. 
They are Mataruck-Lucks, Glopsrisma, Keeleebabs, Wanapaneer, and Worblewraps. 2 are made on the stove, 2 in the blender, and one on the sandwich maker. 

There are 5 new Adoption Exclusives at the Wish Factory. 
They are the Speedy Scooter, Enchanted Garden Fountain, Happily Ever After Cake, Wild Water Ski, and Bubble Wrap Chair. For some reason, however, the Bubble Wrap Chair only goes in underwater rooms, not indoor rooms. Ganz has stated that they are looking into the issue. 


In additional news, for some reason, the Yellow Springtime Chick is available at the eStore again. 
What is strange about this is that the Chick is a Seasonal eStore Pet, last sold in March 2011. Also, a Blue Springtime Chick and Purple Springtime Chick were for sale also. This time, just the Yellow Chick is for sale. 

And, last but not least...
The PSI and PSF for all the September 2011 Pets have been revealed!
In a surprise move, they are all revealed at the same time! 
First, the Brilliant Bandit...

Eh. The dress is cool, but I'm still not liking the sequins.

       

...And then the Dodo Bird.

I love the PSI! Clever.

And now the Harmony Puppy!

The pet's still cute as ever!

Now, the Signature pet for the month, the Black Footed Ferret.

The ferret looks really cool, and the PSI looks nifty!

And then we have a pet that wasn't announced previously: The Big Top Elephant. This is a Virtual-Only pet, and we haven't been told how one would go about getting one.

Cute~

  

Treasure Hunt Returns!

The "Shrewd Searchers Treasure Hunt", previously scheduled to run from the 6th of July to August 2, 2011, had been suffering from some technical difficulty, and was taken down. To make up for it, the Friendship Treasure Hunt for the Dear Diary Leopard was extended to end on July 15.


Now, we are happy to report that the Shrewd Searchers Treasure Hunt has returned!
If you're having trouble finding it, here is the link.
Begins: Today, July 16.
Ends: August 15, 2011.
Prize: Virtual Koala Archeologist figure. This prize includes the item that comes with the figurine, the Backyard Dig Site, and, if this is your first figurine, access to Woodland Wonders and a Series 2 Figurine Case.



Remember, the more figurines you collect, the more likely you are to win better prizes more often in Woodland Wonders. 

Lots of new features in Webkinz World!

Lots of new things have been added in today's update!
Firstly, we have 2 new party packs in the W-Shop: the Beach Party and the Summer Party.

To celebrate Friendship Month, you can now add Webkinz Hosts as friends. 
Don't send the requests from your phone: they'll request you! You must complete a specific task for each host, however:
Arte Fact: Look for gems in the Gem Hunt. 
Ms. Cowoline: Complete 3 classes at the Kinzville Academy. 
Debbie: Buy a ticket at the Travel Agency. 
Sheldon: Buy an item from the Souvenir Shack  
Tabby: Complete a job at the Employment Office
Amanda: Make a wish at the Wish Factory
Fred: Look at the Stadium Schedule
PJ: Buy an item at the Kinzstyle Outlet

When you complete any one of the tasks, the respective host will send you a friend request. You can choose to deny the request if you want.

There is a new Treasure Hunt at the Webkinz Newz.
The goal of the Treasure Hunts is to search for clues, and when you find all 6, you'll win a free virtual Webkinz Figure! You get everything you'd receive with a figure code: a virtual figure, the special item it comes with, and, if it's your first figure, a display case for it and access to Woodland Wonders, a location in the Magical Forest that is only unlocked with a figure. The more figures you have on your account, the better prizes you can win from Woodland Wonders!

The figures are pretty tiny, though--this is how they look in a zoomed-in room.

Previously, the figure to be won was the Breaking News Cocker Spaniel Figure. Its Figure Specific Item is the Webkinz Newspaper Box.
Currently, the figure to be won is the Dear Diary Leopard. Its Figure Specific Item is the Secret Dreams Diary.

Just for fun, you can give your figures names. I named my Cocker Spaniel figure Skip, and my Leopard figure will be named Leslie.

Here's the link to the Treasure Hunt, if you want to participate. Better hurry! The hunt for the Breaking News Cocker Spaniel figure ends June 30, and the hunt for the Dear Diary Leopard figure ends on July 15.


There are new clothing items at PJ Collie's Store!
And just in time for Summer!



A new activity has been added to the Webkinz Newz. 
It's called the "Pick N' Win." Each day, there will be a poll, a quiz, and a survey. By completing any of these, you'll win a random amount of Kinz Cash between 10-500! You can also view the results for the survey and the poll, so you can see what other Webkinz World players think!
  
And...The plush image for the Halloween 2011 Pet has been released at Webkinz Newz!

This little sweetie will be at Webkinz retailers in August. Why not October, you may wonder? Because seasonal pets are released 2 months before the holiday. 

The Pumpkin Puppy is the seasonal Webkinz for Halloween 2011. Hmm...We've had a Clover Puppy and then a St. Patrick's Day Setter, a Love Puppy and then a Love Spaniel, and now a Pumpkin Puppy...perhaps next year we'll have a Halloween Hound? We'll have to wait and see!
