Daily Dare 2012 Prizes

This morning I tried to collect my prizes from this year's Daily Dare.  I was able to beat AAA everyday, so I got the ultimate trophy (gold). The prizes I am  supposed to get along with the trophy include the following: Abigails Compact, Daily Dare Through the Years (book), Roo Island Pier Playset, Petpetpet Covered Foreground, 10,000 Neopoints, and Daily Dare Site Theme.  The site shows it as if you get the prizes, but currently the trophy and prizes are not actually be awarded.  Update: The prizes are now being awarded properly.

Note for Silver (all challenges bat, beating AAA at least once) you get Abigails Compact, Daily Dare Through the Years (book), Roo Island Pier Playset, 8,000 Neopoints, and Daily Dare Site Theme.  For Bronze (Abigail beat every day) you get Abigails Compact, Daily Dare Through the Years (book), 5,000 Neopoints, and Daily Dare Site Theme.  For the Participation Medal (beating AAA or Abigail at least once) you get Abigails Compact and 1,000 Neopoints.

I am glad I finally got the gold trophy at Daily Dare.  However, I am kind of sad it is over and it was not the typical all month event.  I would much rather have the longer Daily Dare and not be able to beat AAA every day than this shorter version.  Any Daily Dare is better than none, but I am not a big fan of it being shortened.  Here's to hoping it goes back to normal in 2013.

This is the final day of Daily Dare 2012.  I cannot believe I actually beat AAA everyday for once.  There were only two challenging days to beat him and even then only one seemed like I might not get it at all.  A lot of the AAA scores seemed rather too easy this year.

There are only 3 levels to this game.  You need to be quick and get good time bonuses to beat AAA.  One tip is to just click fast in a circle around where the bugs usually appear.  Another is to use tab and enter to get the bugs when they first appear, but this can often lead to hitting end game. Some on the Neoboards thing it is a glitch and you could end up banned.  However, to me it seems more like an accessibility addition to the game.

Daily Dare Day 13 Bonus Prize Extended through March 21

Due to the Ghost Bopper game being buggy, the Neopets News announced that you have until the end of tomorrow to beat either AAA or Abigail and get the prize for beating them on the day the game was released.  This also means you get extra time to practice if you are having trouble with beating AAA, although this is a very easy one if you are not dealing with glitches at least in my opinion.  Find out about the Day 13 prizes here.

The prize for beating AAA is Cobweb Shoes (wearable). The prize for beating Abigail is Haunted Dream House Playset.  The bonus prize for beating AAA or Abigail on the day the challenge is released is Ghost Bopper Cake.

Games Room Back to Old Version for Now

The new Game Machine games room has been taken down and the Games room is back to normal.  Speculation on the Neoboards is that it is a mini Daily Dare plot.  Whatever it is, I hope the new Games room comes back, as I liked it much better.
