Petpet Park Grand Opening Celebration

Today a new area of Neopets opened called Petpet Park. It is a new virtual game thing that you pick a petpet and train them and do stuff with them. It is not fully done, yet, but there they are kicking it off with a celebration.

This celebration includes free daily prizes at the Weltrude's Toy Chest area. Today I got a Second Edition Altador PetPet stamp. I am not sure if it is random or everyone gets the same thing.



Another aspect is a new game every week. This week's game is a matching game a lot like Kiko Match that is called PetPet Pair Up.

Better Than You: Techo Says

This week's Better Than You features Techo Master. Below is his challenge statement.

"One must be quick of mind in addition to possessing physical agility to master the ways of combat. Practice here, prove yourself, then return to me for a reward."

To beat him you must get 305 points in Techo Says. I am actually going to try this week. Already just improved my high score from 155 to 235, so maybe I can do even better.

Prize is Square Stepping Stone for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Good Luck to all and remember to comment and share your tips on this game to help other readers out.

Game Guide and Review: The Neopian Lottery

My last Game Guide and Review by id number was on Snow Wars. The next game going in id number order is The Neopian Lottery with an id number of 58. If you have a request for a guide on a specific Neopets game, then just comment on any of my game guide posts and I will put that on top of my list of games to review. When I do not have requests, then I will just continue going in order by id number.

The Neopian Lottery

This is not much of a game, but it is what is one of the luck games. Basically all you do is purchase a ticket for 100 Neopoints. You select six different numbers between 1 and 30. The winner is the one (or ones) that match the most of the numbers drawn in the daily lottery. The winners often get a good haul of Neopoints, but since it is luck based you are not lucky to win often. I think this is a pretty boring game and a waste of Neopoints, so I never go here except today as it popped up as the next game to review.

Game Guide and Review: Snow Wars

My last Game Guide and Review by id number was on Neggsweeper. The next game going in id number order is Snow Wars with an id number of 55. If you have a request for a guide on a specific Neopets game, then just comment on any of my game guide posts and I will put that on top of my list of games to review. When I do not have requests, then I will just continue going in order by id number.

Snow Wars

This is a Neopets themed Battleship type game. I love it more than battleship because of the snow theme. Yeah, being an Arizonian I kind of love the idea of snow. That and I have a passion (some may say obsession) with penguins that goes so far that I have an Antarctic/Penguin themed bathroom (ok, so yeah it may be an obsession because of this). Anyways, if you have not by now guessed my favorite area of Neopets is Terror Mountain and Snow Wars is among my favorite games. Now I do not get around to playing this one much, but I do enjoy rediscovering the thrill of this strategy game every once and a while.

Unlike real battleship you do not get to start by placing your things where you want them (check out Snow Wars II if you want to be able to do that), as they start out automatically generated in position. Thus you jump right into the game and start trying to find your enemies things. Personally I kind of like this because I take too much time deciding the best strategy of where to place my ships (seriously I almost drove the kid I babysit nuts the other day when we played battleship since I took so long to position my ships).

The objects you are looking for are 2 one space snowmen, 1 two space cannon, 1 two space snowball pile, 1 three space catapult, 1 four space big snowman, and 1 four space igloo. My strategy is to start at A1 and then guess every other square until I find everything. If I find something, I then just leave it and come back and finish attacking the rest of it after I find the other objects. The nice thing is you really know what you hit because it shows the part of it you hit unlike in real battleship where you then have to figure out what thing you hit. This every other space method tends to get everything, but sometimes at the end you have to start clicking the in between spaces to find the one space snowman or snowmen left.

Overall this is a nice game to play to get a trophy for your profile and for strategy game lovers like me. It is a little luck based finding the one space snowmen, but other than that it does involve mostly strategy. I like that it is just a click game and does not require flash because then I can play it on my slow old desktop and not have to play it on my laptop, which I have to do with most flash games.

Better Than You: PetPet Cannonball

This week's Better Than You features Benny the Blade. Below is his challenge statement.

"Hey there matey, up for a friendly game of Petpet Cannonball? Winner takes the prize, and the loser... well, they get to walk the plank."

To beat him you must get 1,360 points in Petpet Cannonball. This week I am still too bust watching the Olympics and writing articles for Associated Content to try. Next week I hope is a good one to try because the Olympics will be over and so will my Wednesday night bowling league, so I could actually try the Better Than You.

Prize is Sultans Treasure Chest for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Better Than You: Stowaway Sting

This week's Better Than You features Scrap. Below is his challenge statement.

"Hey, give me a hand, will ya? These oafs are after me, but I'm innocent... really! Put my hat on, and run this way, and I'll run that way to split them up. Good luck, I think you'll need it!"

To beat him you must get 1,360 points in Stowaway Sting. This week I am too bust watching the Olympics and writing articles for Associated Content to try. Besides my best score is not even 500.

Prize is Black Skull Candle for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Better Than You: Carnival of Terror

This week's Better Than You features The Chia Clown. Below is his challenge statement.

"Tee hee hee hee! Ready for some fun everyone? Welcome to my carnival! I'm sure you'll have a blast playing with my friends. Prove yourself to be an expert pie-thrower and I'll give you a prize! Hee hee hee!"

To beat him you must get 700 points in Carnival of Terror. I cannot do very good at this game since the redo. I am in particular having problems with lag and it does not really work at all on my slow desktop that is badly in need of being replaced. My fast laptop works okay, but I do not do well with its mousepad.

Prize is Clown Kacheek Wig for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.
