Since the riddle for Bonju has been solved, here at Sunnyneo we thought we should try and answer some more riddles.
Hyhen and I have been reassigned to the Edna Project, to see if we can find any pattern to receive her avatar, or if it truly is random.
So, check out the new founded Edna Project, and start questing.
You're foolish to try and understand me... *cackle*

The second NC Mall Goodie bag has been spotted! It's free and it's called the Korbats in the Meowclops Goodie Bag. You may get two NC items, a wearable Sparkling Jack-o-Lantern and a food item (Candy Corn Cupcake). You can also get a bonus discount code for a neocash purchase (150 NC off a purchase of 1,000 NC or more before November 9). The code seems to be the same for everyone, but will only work if you opened the bag and were awarded the code on your account. Remember, don't collect on side accounts!
I'm feeling batty!
Update: We've gotten a few questions about the "don't collect on side accounts" part, so we now have a NC Goodie Bags page that lists TNT's recent opinions on this matter.

As you may know, Neopets was working on a new PC game called P3 Habitats, or Petpetpet Habitats. When the premium beta test began, we made a P3 Habitats guide about it to keep everyone posted on the game.
For premium users there was a neoboard to test the game and talk about the details, the game itsself was downloadable on this page. Currently, the neoboard is gone, and the download page is a 404. We assume that Neopets has given up creating the game and is cancelling the idea. This is just our guess though, we cannot be certain.
Currently all there is left is this FAQ page. If we find out more, we will keep you posted.

As mentioned in the new features earlier this week, Neopets has changed the top navigation bar on the site.

Just a few hints on the spooky quests you can complete in Edna's Spooky Surprise:
How smart are you?
- Start with the Brain Tree Quest. The Brain Tree will ask you the date and location of the death of a fictional neopet. The answer to his question is randomly generated as you complete two Esophagor Quests.
- Do two Esophagor Quests to get the answers the Brain Tree needs, then complete the Brain Tree Quest. When typing the answer, be exact.
- Edna's Quest can randomly award an avatar.
- You should have until November 1 to complete one of each quest. If the items are too expensive, just let the quest expire and try again later.
How smart are you?
With tonight's new features, a new seasonal daily was announced, Edna's Spooky Surprise. Every day until November 1st you can collect a daily item from Edna, play spooky games (submit scores five times!) and complete spooky quests.
Update: If you complete all three quests (Edna, Brain Tree and Esophagor) you should get a bonus item, the book Tales of the Esophagor. You may get the congratulations message even if you haven't completed all the quests, but you won't get the item.
Items received from Edna's trick or treat seem to be spooky foods and other spooky items.
