The Experience

Webkinz are plush toys available for sale all over the world. The toys come with a secret code that is redeemable through the online Webkinz game for a virtual pet. Users can interact with their virtual pet by feeding it and playing games with it.

Much of the gameplay involves the making and spending of Kinzcash, the Webkinz World version of virtual currency. Earning Kinzcash involves playing multiple minigames. Kinzcash can then be used to purchase items for the virtual pet. Virtual environments are very popular right now and ElectroServer is used to power several of them!
