Home Before Dark Try to get your Webkinz pets home before the sun sets! Click the pieces of the game board to rotate them so as to make a path to the houses. Collect toys and bring the Webkinz to the Party House for extra points. The game is over if the sun sets before all of the Webkinz are safe at home. Play Home Before Dark in the Games Arcade on Webkinz.com and help the pets find their way home by rotating tiles to create pathways to their houses. Complete the Home Before Dark Challenge before January 26th (midnight, Eastern Standard Time), to win the trophy! The Home Before Dark. Sep 28, 2007 To the poster who has played a similar game - we also spend alot of time over on Neopets and play games there - they have one called Meepit Juice Break - which is one of my favs - I think Home before Dark is very close to that that. I would certainly join the adult Webkinz Addiction Support Group - let me know when the first meeting is scheduled.
Parents and kids might notice a new symbol in many areas of Webkinz World. Introducing the Webkinz ‘Educational Badge’. When you see this badge on a mini-game or activity, you’ll know that activity was developed in line with North American curriculum standards.
At Webkinz we know FUN is the most important thing to kids. We also know parents are always on the lookout for games that will help their children learn and succeed. In creating Webkinz World, we recognized that having fun and learning can go hand in hand.
We have consulted with trained educators to create a world that is stimulating and challenging. Webkinz encourages players to use critical thinking skills while giving them the freedom to express themselves creatively as they build a home to care for their pets.
While educational content has always been a part of Webkinz World, we recently made it simpler for parents and educators to recognize which areas of the game provide educational content.
Educational Badges are easy to spot on our Things to Do menu and are proudly displayed on each activity. We hope you find the new ‘Educational Badge’ helpful when guiding your child in online play.
We’ve worked hard to make Webkinz a fun virtual world for children, but we never lost sight of the fact that we have a responsibility to our young players. We strive to create an environment that is safe, engaging and ultimately beneficial to their development. We’re parents too, and we want to give every player the best possible start.
