Webkinz is a plush toy line and toys-to-life virtual world franchise created by the Canadian soft toy and home décor company Ganz. The brand combines collectible stuffed animals with a connected digital experience, where each plush includes a code that unlocks a virtual version of the pet online.
The franchise currently consists of two main games: Webkinz Classic, the original 2D virtual world, and Webkinz Next, a 3D version of the game. Both versions operate simultaneously and receive ongoing content updates.
