"In October
I'll be host
to witches, goblins
and a ghost.
I'll serve them 
chicken soup
on toast.
Whoopy once
whoopy twice
whoopy chicken soup
with rice."
- Written by Maurice Sendak in Chicken Soup with Rice, 1962

SunnyNeo wishes those who celebrate the holiday, a Haunting Halloween! We have a few reminders for you to do before the month of October draws to a close!

Today is the last day to explore the Haunted Mansion, a traditional NC Event. Head on over to the NC Mall to purchase a 1-, 5- or 16-pack of Spooky Skull Candles to unlock various wearable items. To find a full list of what items are given out on which day, check out our Haunted Mansion Guide. We have to say, a lot of this year's items looks spook-tacular!

Be sure to collect all of this year's Halloween Trick-or-Treat bags that are hidden across Neopia! Collecting all 7 bags awards you with the Trick or Treat 2023 avatar. Be sure to read each bag's item description as each one has a haunting tale, perfect for the night.

^{Click on each bag to find them!}

We are not sure if the new avatar, Dead Chia, is only given during the month of October. We wouldn't be cautious if we did not put out a reminder right now to get the avatar today just in case! We will continue to check after October if the avatar is still redeemable. 

The classic Haunted Woods Site Theme is available to redeem between 11:59:00pm and 11:59:59pm NST tonight (on October 31st). To redeem the site theme, refresh anywhere on the site within that second of time. Good luck!

Lastly, Count von Roo will be spending all of October 31st awake to celebrate the grand night for not so good Neopians. This means that you can play Deadly Dice with him throughout the day and win a chance for the avatar! Be sure to check to see if you have the avatar prior to playing Deadly Dice as a losing round forces you to lose your avatar until you tie with him again. Good luck!

Happy Korbat Day! Here are a few new Korbat fonts for you to enjoy made by the one and only, Melanie!

Mon, Oct 21 Update both Android and iPhone users are now able to reaccess the game. Happy playing!

 

Fri, Oct 18th Update!! Maintenance on the mobile game was to end in the evening of October 17th. When trying to access playing the game, a new and updated notice of maintenance states that the game will resume the morning of October 18th.

Last night (10/16) Neopets: Faerie Fragments was released on the Google Play and Apple App Store. It was taken down shortly after due to reported bugs of people being logged in to Neopass accounts upon download that were not their own and being unable to play for being logged into multiple devices. When you launch the app you are currently greeted with this notice, so sometime today it sholuld be back online:

Some new onsite rewards have been given out. For connecting your Neopass account you will get Luxinias Island Themed Background:

For reaching certain levels you can get new exclusive prizes. Golden Luxinia Shoes, Bobbing Walein, Glowing Flying Wings, Luxinia Ball Gown, Luxinia Ball Cape, and Mini Flying Luxinia are what are currently known.

There are also existing items being given out at certain levels.

The prizes in app for preregistering are in your mailbox in the game.

We will have a more comprehensive guide coming to you soon!

For those of you who are attending this year's New York Comic Con (NYCC), we hope you have a great time! Of course, while Neopets themselves will not be there, be sure to visit WYP's booth (#3053) to enjoy all Neopets' amazing new merchandise!

SunnyNeo is aware that there are exclusive items that come with attending NYCC. We are also aware that said items have been spoiled elsewhere. However, with this said, we will not release any NYCC items until one day after NYCC in our WHQ. This is to prevent any spoilers among the Neopian community.
