NEWSFLASH: New Kinzville Class, Quick Draw, Contest, Webkinz Wheel of the Month!

Written by Justin

Saturday, 03 November 2007

Midnight brought another change to the newspaper and some very cool announcements and features in Webkinz World came with it! The first change is an intelligence class was added to the Webkinz Kinzville Academy. We hope you all get to work and help us figure out what action your pet can learn from this new class!

Don't forget to be in Webkinz World from 3-4 PM Kinz Time today to spin the Wheel of the Month!!

UPDATE: It appears that the Wheel of the Month is still not working and gives a blue screen followed by a long wait and an error message that says "I am sorry, we had trouble loading a required file. Please try again."

The other announcements are as follows: Quick Draw has returned to Webkinz World, Webkinz Wheel of the Month, A new contest is coming November 7th.

As you can tell from the announcement, there are a bunch of new things just introduced to Webkinz World.

Quick Draw
We have some details on the Quick Draw game. Since the introduction of the new time zones, some people's Kinz Time is quite far ahead of normal Kinz Time so they've been able to try out tomorrow's quick draw and provide us with some screen shots, as well as tell us how it works.

From what we've been told, Quick Draw is much like a scratch-and-win lotto ticket. You scratch the numbers, trying to match the number on the bottom. You use your mouse to "scratch" each number, and you're given 4 tries to match. If you do, you win the prize listed! This new game is being offered at various times throughout the day tomorrow.

Wheel of the Month

We weren't as lucky with the Wheel of the Month tonight. Those who were able to test out the Quick Draw waited up late in order to give the Wheel of the Month a spin, but when the time came, they were unable to, complaining of a "blue screen" and no wheel!

From what we've gathered, the Wheel of the Month is much like the Super Wheel, and is rumored to yield better prizes than the Wheel of Yum and the Wheel of WOW. We've heard speculation on what the prizes will be, but no one knows till we actually spin it!

While this "spin" is for everyone in Webkinz World, we've heard that there will be future opportunities, but they may be for Pet of the Month owners only.

Don't forget to be in Webkinz World today from 3-4 PM Kinz Time to spin the wheel! Unlike the Super Wheel, you have to be in Webkinz World during the time in order to spin it.

UPDATE: It appears that the Wheel of the Month is still not working and gives a blue screen followed by a long wait and an error message that says "I am sorry, we had trouble loading a required file. Please try again."

New Contest
There's a short contest being run in Webkinz World, from November 7th - November 9th. It's a haiku contest, so head on in to the "Creative Writing" section of our forum and get some ideas on your Autumn-themed haiku. As you may remember, we've had some good Fall Festival poems already. (Maybe that's what inspired the new contest?)
