After getting all 6 bags you'll get the following message:
Congratulations! You have found all of the Trick or Treat Spots and collected all 6 goodie bags. As a special bonus, 50 Free NC has been credited to your account. Visit the NC Mall now to check out all the great items for sale. (Note: you may only redeem Halloween Goodie Bags and earn the 50 Free NC bonus in your main Neopets account.)
In addition to that the Plot Cover now has an overview of the prizes given out, for those who missed it.
We've also updated the Keyquest page with the new tokens from plushies series 6 (Royal Gelerts, Scorchios and Unis).
Thank you bryan_cuties for letting us know about the new tokens!
Win Spoo-key prizes!
Please be aware that there is a glitch going on in Keyquest. Sometimes if you hand in gold keys at the vault you'll receive prizes for silver; if you hand in a silver key you may receive prizes for bronze, etc. If this happens to you use the Keyquest Bug report form on Neopets.
Earlier we reported about the existance of the petpetpark.com website. However, we never said that you could play the beta test, we merely pointed out some interesting pages to read. At this moment you cannot login and play Petpet Park. Once it opens for beta testing we will post on the news here with some more information.
I'm a cursor!
Guide Albert through the maze using your arrow keys. Keep a close eye out for enemies as you go -- they could be just beyond the light from Albert's lantern, waiting to pounce! If they hit Albert, the light circle from his lantern will become smaller and smaller. Use the spacebar to knock the loose tombstones onto your enemies to defeat them. There are also glowing power-ups to help Albert along the way, and power-downs to make his task more difficult. Collect all the items to move on to the next level! Just make sure to watch the candle on the screen. When it burns down completely, Albert's hopes for escape will be snuffed out! For the best possible game-playing experience, please make sure that you are using the most recent version of your browser and that you have closed all other applications on your computer. If you have an older computer, you may want to set the game quality to Medium or Low before starting your game. |
And also some screenshots:
At the top of the screen you can see the foods that Albert needs to collect. Because he has little light you cannot see where the foods are, or if there are any enemies approaching. Some of the gravestones can be pushed over by presing space while pushing against them. This way you can kill your enemies, but it is rather hard to do so.. running may be a better idea. Enjoy this nice halloween themed game!
Complete the guide and ill belong to you!
Thank you to bunny9785 for alerting us to this activity.
The spooky prizes will be added to the guide soon.
Read the guide to find out who I am!
As for now, not much can be found on the site. It does say that you will be able to login using your neopets account, so you will not need a new account. But since it's not on the Neopets website, we're unsure what the relation between the two will be. There are two pages that are open for visit, they are: About Petpet Park and Petpet Park FAQ. Especially the FAQ page is quite interesting, as it gives you some insights on what the area will be like and which features there will be.
Yurius: They'll never pull this off! I'll make sure of it!
Also a friendly reminder for the players of Keyquest. If you are not a premium member do not play the Premium version of keyquest. People are getting suspended for doing so, so stick to the regular version.
So most likely your lookup, gallery, shop and what not will look awful now. Please do not mail us if we know the solution, whenever we find one if there is one we will surely let you know.
Update: It seems there are several workarounds available currently.
Change the style tags to <style //> and </style //> or
Change the style tags to <style > and </style > keeping in the space.
For Shops and Galleries, use the second set of style tags with the extra space.
Please let me know if normal style tags with disallowed words work in any area for you.
PS. we will not be changing our graphic immediately, since we hope TNT will fix the filters and allow the usage of these disallowed words in most areas again.
Thanks to everyone mentioning workarounds
Good luck everybody and may the best team win! :)
To learn everything about the new version, please do visit our renewed guide!
This is the NF Test Board, it has all the new features!
You are now able to choose from a plethora (loads) of different Game Boards.
For instance, you will be able to choose from only specific Mini Game Boards, a Charm Board, an Alignment Board and many more.
Also new powerups, hexes, charms, neopian characters were added to the different boards.
We are currently gathering information about the new additions to the Key Quest Beta, so keep an eye out on our news for more information about it.
You could also visit our Key Quest Guide to see information about the game we got so far.
Update: Our Key Quest Guide has now been updated with the newly found powerups, charms, hexes and Neopian characters.
Secondly all items related to P3 Habitats now have a little leaf on them to indicate they are for the game (like they have done for neohomes as well). For more information on P3 Habitats, be sure to check our guide.
We have also updated our Keyquest page, with all the new tokens from the Neopets Plushies series 5 (see newspost of September 22nd).
Our new feature is a Lablog Statistics page. On this page you can find four things.
First of all an overview of the total numbers of different zaps. From this table you can gather that currently a gain in hitpoints is the most common zap of Lablog users, with 12.38%.
Secondly there is an overview of average pet statistics. This table shows if the lab on average is positive or negative towards pet stats such as level, hitpoints and strength. This table shows that on average level doesnt go up or down, while hitpoints, movement and strength go up with the use of the lab.
The third table shows the colours that are most often zapped, until now, faerie seems to be the winning colour.
The fourth table shows the same, but then for species zaps. The lab appears to be a fan of zapping Kyriis.
Faerie Kyrii says: Please note that the statistics page will change over time as more zaps are being recorded into our system daily.
We would also like to attend you to the fact that Neopets is redoing their Login page today. This means that most likely at some point of the day you will be logged out and you will need to re-login. This login page may ask for additional information such as your birth date, e-mail address or PIN number. So be sure to write those down for all your accounts, so you don't lose the access to them. We assume that the new login page is being created in order to do something about the cookie grabbing problem that is still going on on Neopets.
