Kinzville Hangouts

A Kinzville Hangout is an event where two Ganz staff members visit the Webkinz Next Kinzville Park and chat with the players. These used to occur every Wednesday, but as of April 2022, it has been changed to occurring every other Wednesday.

The Ganz staff who can appear are Mandy, Michael, Sally, Dorothy Lou, Steve, and Betty Butter. Other staff members, such as Karl the Creative Director and Howard the CEO of Ganz, have not appeared in these meetings.

During a Kinzville Hangout, the staff members answer questions and ask for feedback. They do not speak about upcoming features which have not been announced yet. They sometimes give codes for items, but this is very rare.

All of them have easily identifiable World Names, except for Sally, who is named Fire Shadowglow.
