Your first task is to register ownership of the particular character purchased, through what is called the adoption centre by simply entering your code number.
Once you've done that the Webkinz world is open to you and your pet who is now metamorphosised into an online version of the cuddly toy sat on your knee. Online you can build him a house and decorate it in a very detailed and customized way, dress and undress him with endless clothing combinations, play online games and even answer trivia.
It really is it's own little world. You can earn KinzCash, the virtual currency of Webkinz World, when you successfully play games and answer trivia which allows you to build and decorate your Webkinz home, buy articles of clothing, and feed your pet.
