Can I write for the Newz?
|  |
While you can't write for the Newz, you CAN enter one of our writing contests. To see if a writing contest is open, please check the "Contest" page in the Newz. Sometimes we have poetry contests, sometimes we have story contests; the best part is, if you win you'll get a trophy and 500 KinzCash!

What is KinzPost?
| |
When you receive KinzPost mail, you will see a white envelope appear on the lower left corner of the screen when you're in your pet's room. Just click on the envelope and you'll see the message. When you close the letter, it will disappear.
KinzPost is where you can go to send a postcard to an email address, or a gift or a note to a friend on Webkinz World. You can find it by clicking on the THINGS TO DO menu.

How do I get on the High Score list?
| |
Getting on the high score list can be tough sometimes. But guess what? Every month the magic scoreboard fairy comes along and clears off all the monthly high scores, so everyone has another chance to see their name up in lights. Psst, be sure to try on the first day of the month!
|
|
|
I got a Tournament Arena high score, but I’m not on the Scores and Achievements high score page!
| |
We update the Tournament Arena scores every night at midnight. If you have a high score in the Tournament Arena, you'll see it on the 'Scores and Achievements' page tomorrow.

I was on the Great Plays list... now I’m not. What happened?
| |
Since people are always making great plays, their names are constantly being added to the 'Great Plays' list. This means that new names are always replacing old ones (the older great plays move toward the bottom of the list, and the newer ones appear at the top). Eventually, your name will disappear from this list, when enough new great plays are added. If you want to get back onto this list, you just need to make another great play!

|
Scores and Achievements page – what’s it all about?
| |
The Scores and Achievements page is a page in the Newz that shows all the great scores from all the fantastic games in Webkinz World. Check out this page to see the top tournament players, the high scorers in the arcade, and the trivia experts. Check out the 'My Scores' page to find out all about how many times you've played each game, what your average game score is, and what your highest score in a particular game was.
This is the page with all the game info you need!

When are the winners announced?
| |
All of our contests are VERY popular and some take longer to judge than others. Rest assured, the winners will be announced as soon as we have determined them!
|
|
|
When is the next contest?
| |
Our contest schedule varies quite a bit, so the best thing is to keep checking the Contest page in the Webkinz Newz to see when the next contest is up.

How do I get a friend code?
| |
In order to get a Friend Code you need to have someone send you a postcard from the newspaper section. When you get one, you can use it only when signing up for a new adoption. If you do enter the code with a new adoption, your pet will receive free extra gifts. So if you know anyone interested in adopting a new Webkinz pet, make sure you send them a postcard from Webkinz World soon!

|
|
Can I use a friend code if I am already a member?
| |
Sorry, but the friend codes are strictly for new members of Webkinz World.
