New Game Challenge

What is the New Game Challenge?
New Game Challenge is an ongoing Neopets site event that takes place in the Games Room. It was first introduced in July of 2009.

The event is mock-hosted by Aristotle A. Avinroo, better known as AAA, his little sister Abigail and their cousin Lulu. Each time a new flash game is released on the site, a New Game Challenge will be available. Each Challenge will be open until the next new game is released. Much like in the game Better Than You, you must then play the game and send a specified score set by TNT. AAA, Abigail and Lulu will each have a different score and different prize reward. AAA is better at games than his little sister, so his score will be set higher. Lulu's score is generally higher than Abigail's but lower than AAA's. For this challenge, you do not need to choose which of the regular challengers (AAA or Abigail) to challenge. Just submit a score that beats either one and you will get the prize. Unlike Daily Dare, if you have beaten Abigail, you may play again to try for AAA's score. You will still receive the prize item.

There is not a specific time limit for completing the challenge. Each challenge will be available until the next new flash game is released. Of course, we won't know if the next game is due in one day or a few weeks! You may also send scores for neopoints five times a day as long as the game is active in this challenge.


SunnyNeo Daily Dare Goodies
We have created some cool Daily Dare goodies for you to use. These feature the same characters as the New Game Challenge, so you might find something you like here, including sweet stuff such as adoptables, a userlookup, icons, and shields.




NC Mall Challenge
Cousin Lulu is also a challenger for the New Game Challenge. To challenge Lulu, you must purchase a New Game NC Challenge Game Ticket from the NC Mall. A single game ticket costs 200 NC. There are no multi-game tickets. Once purchased, you must activate your ticket before you can earn a prize from Lulu. Once activated, the ticket cannot be used again. The tickets will be valid for any single New Game Challenge. The design of the tickets may change with each new game released. Prizes earned from the NC Challenge are also NC items and cannot be sold for neopoints.

Score 1700+ points on Darigan Dodgeball Darigan Spike Ball (Click to Preview)	Score 400+ points on Darigan Dodgeball Rocky Ground (Click to Preview)	Score 650+ points on Darigan Dodgeball Churning Red Clouds (Click to Preview)
Darigan Dodgeball NC Game Ticket Design: New Game NC Challenge Game Ticket - Series 4	Game Codes: No known codes for this game. Tips: Try to avoid hitting anything with the Kiko as long as possible. Each second is about 100 game points, so for a score of 1700 you'd need about 17 seconds. The spike balls always start out heading the same direction. The smallest ball travels down and to the left, the grey ball that's really weird goes down and to the right. The purple ball with blue spikes goes up and to the left, while the large grey goes up and to the right. This may help you plan your first few seconds of the game. Thanks for this tip to millionare_wana_be.

Spinacles NC Game Ticket Design: New Game NC Challenge Game Ticket - Series 3	Game Codes: No known codes for this game. Tips: On the lower levels, try to build your score up before clearing the level. To do this, group bubbles in pairs as much as possible before allowing a third bubble to touch the pair. Try allowing lots of bubbles to accumulate before clearing groups. Use the multipliers to your advantage: the first set of three or more bubbles will earn you 1 point each, second set is 2 points each, third set is 3 points each. Try to clear the groups all in a row.

Legends of Pinball NC Game Ticket Design: New Game NC Challenge Game Ticket - Series 2	Game Codes: Typing the letter "P" will pause the game, type it again to resume. During beta testing the word �pin" would skip a level. Tips: If the ball gets stuck in the well or a similar hole, either shoot another or wait a few seconds. If Turmy eats the ball, try clicking on his mouth to set the ball free. If your ball is stuck, you can start another and when the first is released from its trap, you'll have two going at once. For the earlier levels, you have to hit the characters at the top of the screen a few times to advance to the next level. On the last level, do not hit Jeran or your game will end immediately.
