********************** AUTHOR'S NOTE **************************
Started on the game updates here, Mynci Beach Volleyball increased to about 12
times the length it was originally – all quality, not filler! They'll all be
like that eventually, but had to start somewhere. That's the only new update
for this week, but I'd like to see how well received these changes are before I
do more updates. Making an entire 230K FAQ twelve times as long will be hell to
download (and upload – I have dial-up myself! 3MB! Ouch!). Guess if it's good
quality people shouldn't complain though.

If the game you want is not listed above, it means it either has out of date
information, or just hasn't been covered in my update schedule yet. There is
most likely some information on the game, but more in depth information will be
available in later updates. You'll need to find this game manually (or type the
game name into the search box, that should find it too).

I may let you host it. Ask. The only requirement is you post the ENTIRE FAQ,
UNEDITED. No changing any of it, and it has to be all there. Try to keep it
updated as well; the most recent version will always be found at GameFAQs.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION BEFORE HOSTING THIS! If not, you are in breach
of the law. Obviously, you can not make profit from this guide by selling it or
anything similar. Once again this is illegal. You can make a copy for personal
usage though if you're that way inclined. I got no problems with that. It's
your printer ink and paper you are wasting. Please think of the environment

Got a question or got some info you feel should be included? There are a few
ways to contact me:
* Email: ringwormrulez[at]gmail[dot]com
* Neomail: send it to ringwormrulez, INCLUDE IN THE SUBJECT WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
This is probably the preferred method.
* GameFAQs message board: Put an ATTN topic on the neopets board
(http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=916642) and I'll reply
ASAP, or somebody else will. My user name at GameFAQs is Ringworm, and I'm on
the site a few times a day normally.
I may take a while to respond, just letting you know. Also, make sure what you
want to ask is not covered already. Generally, I respond to anybody that needs
help. If I feel the FAQ makes it perfectly clear, and you just haven't read it
properly though, I may not. If I'm around, I should reply within a day or so.
IF YOU EMAIL ME: Include the game name, or something that makes it obvious what
it's about. I will NOT read ANY emails with attachments, or ones with no
subject line.
I'd like to take some time to thank the people that have helped with this
guide. Firstly, I'd like to thank all the staff at the neopets website for the
many hours of enjoyment I've had there. The webmasters that host this FAQ
should get a bit of credit too I guess, as you wouldn't be reading this
otherwise. I'd also like to thank you, the reader, for choosing this guide, and
I hope I helped in some way. Also, to all the people that have helped me since
when I first started, even that little bit, and there are WAY too many to list
here, I am eternally grateful towards. You rock! Special thanks also to jelly
soup, I've got a lot of the avatar information from his excellent FAQ that is
also available at GameFAQs.

[ ][ ]
=========================================================================
The main reason I joined Neopets was because I heard from a few people they had
some good games, and as a long time gamer, this appealed to me. I have to agree
with them. With well over 150 games to choose from, I'm sure there's at least
one or two that you'll find enjoyable.
In this FAQ, I have given links to most of the games on the site (some are
quite tough to find, although most are in the game room). I have also included
information on the scoring for the game (where appropriate), neopoint rewards
(called NP from here on) and trophies, general information, avatars available
(if applicable), passwords (in some cases), and my hints, tips and additional
information for most games.
Hopefully this guide will assist you in raising some of your high scores. I
believe it will help anybody from a first time player to somebody with numerous
gold trophies. Sure, I'm not great at all the games on the site, nobody can be
legitimately, but I'll try to help with the ones I'm not good at as well.
Generally where I have a really low score for a game, it's due to a lack of
attempts, rather than a lack of skill (that's my excuse anyway =D)
Before I get into the main part of the guide, I'll list some tips for improving
your scores.
* PRACTICE! A lot of the skill based games I still improve my scores on as I
play them more often. You can't expect to get grand master rank for every game
on your first attempt.
* Try playing the game in full screen. You can change the size of flash games
to full screen, which helps with some games. It will sometimes slow a game down
slightly, which is helpful for some games (and not for others). Experiment with
high and low quality when they are offered too. Higher quality is generally a
bit slower. Turning sound on and off can also affect game speed.
* Focus on a few games per day. When you think you are competent at them, try
some of the others. You'll never play every game, every day. Find some you are
either good at and/or really like, and play them daily. You'll find you get
better scores this way. I do anyway.
* For most games, if you want to earn NP, you can only send your score 3 times
per day. Set a limit of what you find a minimum acceptable score for the game,
and don't send if you get lower than that. This takes a bit of knowledge of the
game, but once you've played a few times, you'll have a fair idea. The maximum
amount of NP you can get per game is 1000 NP, getting a score that should earn
more than this will still only get you 1000 NP.
* Even after sending your score 3 times, you can continue playing the game.
It's good for practicing. Even though you can't earn NP from it, it will help
you earn more per day in future by increasing your skills.
The main aim of the games is to have fun though. If you aren't enjoying it, you
may as well stop. There are plenty of other games to play if a certain game is
frustrating you. I've sent scores for over 200 games, and this is just a small
part of what Neopets has to offer. Get comfortable, and read on. You may just
learn something!

=========================================================================
So, you are in the mood to play some games right? Firstly, you need to have an
account. Use this link to get to the site:
http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=ringwormrulez then click on the
"create an account" button, found near the middle of the screen. You will also
need a neopet for most games. I recommend adopting a pet from the pound:
http://www.neopets.com/pound.phtml but if you want more control over the name
and appearance of your pet, you can create a pet here:
http://www.neopets.com/addpet.phtml
Done all that? OK, if you are logged in to your account, you can start to play
games. Not sure you are logged in? Look at the yellow bar at the top of the
screen, below the ads. If you see a line of text similar to this: Welcome,
ringwormrulez | Pet : ringwormrulez | NP : 200 you are logged in. If not, log
in by clicking on the login! link on the left hand side of any page (direct
link: http://www.neopets.com/loginpage.phtml ), enter your username and
password, then you are ready to go.
To choose a game, click on the games link on the left hand side of all pages
(link: http://www.neopets.com/gameroom.phtml ). On this page, you will see four
main categories of games (Puzzle, Action, Luck/Chance and Featured Game), and
below this, links to eight other pages. This is described in detail below.
The first three main sections have a relevant section below, so I won't explain
in more detail just yet. The featured game deserves a bit of recognition
though. This game will change daily, and it can be any of the flash and
shockwave based games that can be found in the puzzle and action sections of
the game room. What's so special about it? Playing the game will earn double
the NP for that day. The NP cap per game is still 1000 NP per game, but you
only need half the score you normally do to get this amount. I strongly advise
you play the featured game three times every day, if you have time.
The eight links at the bottom are as follows: Neopets TCG, Stockmarket, Beauty
Contest, Neopets BATTLEDOME, High-Score Tables, Collectable Cards, Multi-Player
Games, Other Contests. These are explained in more detail below.
Neopets TCG (http://www.neopets.com/tcg/home.phtml ): Go here if you want to
find out how to play the offline trading card game (TCG). You can also check
which cards are available in various TCG decks, and which of the TCG cards
(items on the site) you currently have in your deck. In all my time on Neopets,
I have NEVER received a TCG card item. I believe the way to obtain them is
either by trading in rare item codes (found in real life TCG packs and some
other merchandise), or from a random event on the site (fairly rare). Of
course, you can also buy them from other players. This section is a waste, and
now you know what it is, I don't see any reason why you would want to go there
unless you have a LOT of NP to waste on TCG items (which are generally VERY
expensive) and want to check which you have.
Stockmarket ( http://www.neopets.com/stockmarket.phtml ): This is a decent way
to make NP, but you need a reasonable amount to begin with. Every day, you may
buy up to 1000 shares in any of the stocks that are trading at 15 NP or higher.
If you buy the maximum at the minimum price, you will be spending 15000 NP per
day on stocks. Sounds like a lot? It can be, yes.
My recommendation is to buy 1000 shares in any company trading at 15 NP. If
none are, wait half an hour and check back (the stock prices are adjusted every
half hour: on the hour, and at half past). Do this every day. Once the share
price hits 35, sell all 1000 shares. This will net you 20000 NP for that trade,
minus a small commission you have to pay for selling shares. This is 20 NP per
transaction. Even if you are selling more than one lot of shares, the total
commission will still be 20 NP. Just a warning that playing the stockmarket can
be risky, as quite often, stocks will slump to single digit range for a while.
If all your stocks are down, and you need NP in a hurry, you will be losing out
if you need to sell. I recommend having around 300,000 NP before buying stocks.
This should be enough to cover all your stockmarket expenses, especially if you
are also getting NP from other sources.
Very occasionally (only once in the first twelve months I was on Neopets), a
stock will go bankrupt. If this happens, any stocks you had in that company are
gone, and you will not get the NP back. It is a risk you take with the
stockmarket. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. As long as you spread
out the stocks you are investing in, you won't lose much at all on the
extremely rare chance it does happen.
There are many variations on the way to invest in the stockmarket, but I've
found my method works quite well. I earn enough from other sources (mostly
quests and games) to keep a decent amount of NP in the bank, as well as
increasing my portfolio value. These stocks I know will eventually get to the
magic 35 mark, and when this happens, I've earned more than double what I spent
on them. A lot of people will only buy occasionally, and may sell at much
higher limits. Some invest in higher priced shares (maybe in the mid 20 range)
and hope they go up to 50 NP per share (or higher). There are still others who
buy the shares trading at over 100 NP, but I can't see much reason for this.
Experiment if you want, but you'll find my way is about the best. You may
consider lowering your sell price to 30 NP per share (100% profit), and this is
not a bad idea. Most shares that rise to 30 NP will also get to 35 NP I have
found.
Beauty Contest (http://www.neopets.com/prizes.phtml ): Please note, that this
is not a direct link to the beauty contest, but rather leads to your trophy
cabinet. This page shows all the trophies you have earned from games, as well
as individual pet trophies won. These individual ones are mostly from the
beauty contest, but you can also get them by feeding rare foods to your pet
(gourmet club), or reading a lot of books to your pet (book award, and
booktastic book award for Kreludan books).
There is also a link to the beauty contest. These run for a week or two, and
involve you sending in a drawing of your neopet. The pictures with the most
votes when the voting time runs out will get trophies. These are categorised by
overall, and by species. I believe you also get an item as a prize, but as I've
never entered, let alone won, I can't confirm it.
Neopets BATTLEDOME ( http://www.neopets.com/battledome.phtml?battle_location=0
): The battledome is where you can use your pet to battle against other
opponents – both single player and against other users. This is reasonably
complex, and I may include more detail on it in a later update. There is
already a FAQ available on GameFAQs if you want more information.
High-Score Tables ( http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml ): If you want to
find out the high scores for the month for all the games on the site, this is
where you should head. It lists all the games on one page, however, you can
also find these tables in a link at the bottom of individual game pages.
Collectable Cards ( http://www.neopets.com/games/neodeck.phtml ): This is not
to be confused with the TCG, it is a completely different section. These cards
are actually buyable from the collectable cards shop in the bazaar (click
"shops" in the yellow sidebar, then click on the "more shops" sign). On the
page you can create and modify a NeoDeck (where you store your cards), add and
remove cards between your inventory and your NeoDeck, and see the cards you
still need to collect. It is still very expensive trying to collect all the
cards, some are worth millions of NP, and there is no reward for completing the
full deck (except satisfaction).
Multi-Player Games (http://www.neopets.com/games/lobby/mp_lobby.phtml ): The
individual games found here, namely Armada, Geos and Kacheekers are described
in more detail in the puzzle games section. However, you can start or join any
of these games here, playing against other site members. There is also a link
to the monthly tournament here.
With the monthly tournament (there's one for each of the three games), you will
be playing against a random opponent. This begins on the first of the month,
and you will be sent a neomail when the game begins. You then have a week to
get a result. If the game is not completed, both players get eliminated. If you
win, you play another game. Win the second game to get a bronze trophy. Win a
third match (between the 15th and 21st of the month), and you will get either a
silver or gold trophy, depending on the outcome of the fourth and final match.
I've gone into a bit more detail in the section for the relevant game.
Other Contests (http://www.neopets.com/contests.phtml ): This links to quite a
few of the contests that are available on Neopets, such as the beauty contest,
site spotlight and the Lenny Conundrum. Many of these are described in other
sections of the game room (mostly in the puzzle section), the others you can
look at for yourself. A few contests, such as the random contest, petpet
spotlight and neohome spotlight are not listed on this page. To find how to
enter these, you are advised to read through the news, as they are all judged
weekly.
Towards the bottom of the page you will see links to some old contests that
were run on the site. The entire page isn't updated any more, so if you aren't
looking to enter one of these contests, there's not much point visiting the
page.
That pretty much sums up what is available in the game room. The games
available in each of the three main sections are described in detail below.

Arr.... ya scurvy seadog, hurry up and take ya move
before I have to teach you a lesson...
Garr.. ya couldn't teach a Snorkle a lesson, you lilly livered coward...
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
I've never actually played this game. I'll try to make sure I do before the
next update though. I'm not a big fan of multi-player games as I hate losing,
especially to other people. We all know the computerised players cheat in
games, so it's perfectly acceptable to lose to them. :)

make up the background). The Marblemen will bounce off the bouncer. Your aim -
to get all the Marblemen back into the toy box!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
My only advice for this is to get a screen shot of each level and try to
memorise how to beat each one. This is probably the game I'm worst at out of
all of them. I can't really help with this one.
################

10,000 NP (depending on if they win or not), a rare item and a trophy for their
cabinet.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Never tried this. I've looked at some of the past winners and I generally
couldn't come up with anything of similar quality.

In the dungeons of the Darigan Citadel an eccentric (and, of course, evil)
prison warden, Master Vex, forces his inmates to play a game of his invention -
Cellblock. He keeps telling the prisoners that if anybody can ever beat him
they will be freed from the dungeon, but nobody has ever won a single game
against him... which is most probably a good thing, as he is lying through his
teeth :)
Since you are visiting, do you fancy a game? You can click here to go back to
the citadel if you don't want to play.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Note: I did NOT come up with this strategy. I found it on a pet's page by the
name of shiav
(http://home.neopets.com/templates/homepage.phtml?pet_name=shiav).
You may need to improvise on this, as the computer will not always follow this
pattern. If your opponent gets 3 in a row before you do - block it immediately.
The following grid shows the moves you should make to win every match in the
first 10 tournaments.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|A|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|r|b|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|5|b|r|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|4|3|D|1|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|6|_|2|_|B|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|C|_|E|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
r and b are the pieces already on the board. 1-6 are the moves YOU should make
(in order). A-E are the moves the opponent USUALLY makes (in order).
At this point, you have 2 open ended rows of 3 pieces. You'll win on your 8th
move. Your opponent will normally block off one, so make four in a row on the
other. Note: If the opponent blocks an end of the r36 line, make your next move
BELOW the 6 and NOT above the 5. You won't be guaranteed a win if you do this.
################
CHEAT!
################
Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/cheat/index.phtml
Game Type: HTML
Category: Puzzle
Avatars available: One. Catch Capara cheating at least once, and win round 1.
Scoring:
You get NP for correctly accusing somebody of cheating, and for winning a
round.
Plays per day: As much as you want I think.
Trophies: Gold - win rd 7, Silver - win Rd 5, Bronze - win rd 3.
Information:
Are you tired of those goody two shoes games where honesty and fair play are
the aim of the game? Don't you just once wish you could cheat and get away with
it? Well, now you can. Use all of your skill and cunning to beat your opponents
in a breath taking game of Cheat! If you beat the 3rd, 5th or 7th rounds, you
also earn a trophy!
It only costs 50 NP per play. So what are you waiting for? Get Cheating!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
This is probably the easiest game to get a trophy in. I don't cheat unless I
have to, and normally only accuse people when I'm sure they are cheating. If
somebody plays their last card - accuse them of cheating, as you'll lose if you
don't anyway.

CHEMISTRY FOR BEGINNERS
################
Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/chemistry.phtml
Game Type: Flash
Category: Puzzle
Avatars available: None
Scoring:
Beginner: Under ? points
Amateur: ?-199 points
Novice: 200-? points
Expert: ?-499 points
Master: 500-749 points
Grand Master: 750 points or more.
NP Ratio: 100NP per 100pts scored
Plays per day: 3
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
You are in a very scary lab... in a very scary part of the Haunted Woods...
The object of the game is to build molecules from the atoms given to you. You
only have a limited number of atoms available, so place them carefully! Refer
to the chart to see which molecules can be built. When you reach the needed
score for that level, you will advance to the next level where more advanced
molecules can be built. Avoid unstable compounds - if you build one of them, or
if you run out of atoms to build with, you lose the game!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Practice is the only way to get good at this. Generally, try to make the
longest possible molecules for bigger points. At the start, look for molecules
which can be made with the existing atoms. Clearing the board after level 6 or
so will give you a bonus 5 pts.

There's a pattern for most levels which saves backtracking, but I've got to
figure them out before including them. I don't play this much, but it isn't
that tough. Try to grab the crates ASAP, only get health when you need it, and
watch out for the water!

DESTRUCT-O-MATCH II
################
Game Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/destructomatch2.phtml
There is a lovely patch of land, down by a stream that would just be a perfect
place to build your Tyrannian village, but there is a problem. Boulders
everywhere! Blue boulders, yellow boulders, red boulders... and they have to be
cleared before you start building.
In Destruct-O-Match II you have to group up boulders of the same colour, and
then click to remove them. Only groups of 2 or more matching boulders can be
removed in this way. The more boulders you clear at once the more points you
earn, and to progress to the next level you need to achieve a certain number of
points.
Some boulders have symbols on - if you manage to clear one of these boulders
then something special will happen. Check the in-game instructions to find out
what each icon does!

This was one of the first games to get an updated version, and unlike most, the
sequel is actually better than the original.
As for which mode to play, I would recommend the standard mode. Extreme seems
to get slightly lower points for me, but if you have great reactions and skill
with the mouse, it may be the better choice.
Bonus bricks: "X3" will make the combo with that brick in it triple the normal
value.
"*" Will destroy all blocks of that colour on screen
"15" This counts down to 0. After 15 seconds, it turns into an un destroyable
block (except with the next one)
"Fire" Destroys all the blocks in a square around it (1 square in each of the
eight directions). Can destroy "crossbones" blocks.
"Crossbones" An undestroyable block caused by the timed block counting down to
0.
"?" Adds one block of random colours to each column on screen, including empty
columns.
In a level, I will always try to destroy the countdown blocks before they get
to 0. If you can do so, this has removed all time worries from the game, and
you can take as long as you want. I generally ignore the "?" blocks, and
leaving them until late in the level is generally a good idea. I ALWAYS leave
the fire block to the last move, as it can get rid of the last few blocks on
screen that are the only one of that colour remaining. The "X3" blocks I
obviously try to get into as large a combo as possible, and I work on this as
soon as I've removed the timed blocks. As for the star block, I generally
remove all other blocks that I can of the same colour first, as this will get
you a few extra points.
Bonuses occur depending how many blocks you have left. If you manage to clear
all blocks, you receive 250 bonus points, this bonus is reduced by 50 points
for every block remaining on screen. If there are 5 or more blocks remaining,
you receive no bonus. I save the code listed above (destroyboulders) for when I
am not going to make it through the level otherwise. This can sometimes open up
new scoring possibilities, and may enable you to reach the next level.

ESCAPE TO KRELUDOR

Game Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/etk.phtml
Gorix and Cylara have just jettisoned out the side of the Virtupets Space
Station in an attempt to flee the evil Dr. Sloth. Unfortunately he has noticed
their escape and sent his Virtupets Fighters to stop them! You must help our
heroes defeat the fighters and escape... to Kreludor!
Move the Escape Pod by clicking on the square you wish to move to. It can only
move one space at a time, however. Once you have moved, the Virtupets Fighters
will then move to intercept you. Click on your escape pod (or press Space) to
fire torpedoes out either side. Use wormholes to teleport to a random location,
and collect gems for bonuses. Comets are indestructible - avoid them at all
costs!

Information:
Welcome to the Faerie Crossword game! The Library Faerie needs your help to
fill in the crossword puzzle. She has clues but can't make head or tail of
them! So you'll need to read them and figure out what words go in each spot.
Words always go from left-to-right, or up-to-down (they never go down-to-up or
right-to-left, that would be crazy!) and must be filled in one letter at a
time. Once you have filled in all the letters correctly, you will be awarded
prizes! You can only receive prizes once per day (once per puzzle, in other
words) but you can solve a day's puzzle as many times as you want!
You can fill in words by clicking on the clue at the bottom, then typing in a
word above it and clicking "Go". If you put in the wrong word, you can put
another one in the same place: just click the clue again, and type in a new
word, then click "Go"!
Remember, if you start a puzzle too late in the day, the new one might replace
it before you finish the old one! So get started!

Imiya the Aisha is fast asleep... dreaming of butterflies, flowers and other

vital she gets as much sleep as possible.
... and then THEY arrived. Babaas, hundreds of them, all carrying maths
problems that have to be solved! Help solve the puzzles so the Babaas can jump
over the fence and keep Imiya sleeping!
Click on the Babaa with the puzzle you want to solve, and then use the number
pad to type the answer in and hit the Enter key. Try harder levels to earn more
points - but watch out for the Mutant Babaas, their puzzles are much harder to
solve!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Should be quite an easy game, but it's frustrating. The cursor keeps moving to
a different babaa, or the score won't type in properly. Gets very annoying. Use
a calculator if you want, nobody would know.
WilliamPorygon (GameFAQs) suggests playing on the division level. Answers to
the problems (except for mutant babaas) will either be the level number plus 1
OR twice the level number plus 1. For example on level 6, the answer would
either be 7 or 13. For level 453, the answer would be 454 or 907. You still
need to figure out the mutant babaas though.

It's not just Neopets that need to eat and drink. At this home for lost
Meepits, it's up to you to make sure all the little Meepit children get their
daily Juppie Juice.
In this game you are controlling the Juice-O-Matic, an overly complicated
machine designed to deliver fresh Juppie Juice to Meepits. Click on the each
pipe to rotate it clockwise so that there is a unbroken pipe between the Juppie
Juice and the Meepits. Sometimes you will have to mix colours together to
create a new one!
If a Meepit drinks Juppie Juice that is the same colour as them you get extra
points (they are quite particular about what they drink). However, they will be
satisfied with any colour. If a Meepit is not fed in time you will lose a life.
Lose three lives and it's game over.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
I work from the meepit, to the juice. I don't worry about the colour of juice,
but I'll try to feed more than one at a time if possible. I ignore the bonus

following item...
UPDATE : The first 10 people to answer correctly will be given 5,000 Neopoints
instead of 500, and 2 items instead of 1.
To enter, simply type in what you think the picture is. For instance if you
think its the tail of a red Scorchio, then type in 'red scorchio tail'. You
dont have to be exact with your description, as our computer program will try
its best to match your words with the correct answer.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
I like this, as I manage to win roughly one in every three times :). If you are
online just after it is released (check the news to see when a new one is
released), you are in with a decent shot of winning. I check the games board on
Neopets, it generally takes about half an hour to be solved. If you submit the
answer within about three hours of this, you are in with a decent chance of
getting the prize. Unfortunately, I haven't been around much lately, and I

In this situation, it means 1 of the surrounding 8 squares has a red negg, and
the other 7 are OK to click on. Sometimes you will need to guess where to
click, other times you will be able to work it out. It gets frustrating when
there are 2 squares left, with one being safe, one not, and you have to guess.
Especially when you guess wrong. That's the beauty of the game though, you need
a bit of luck, as well as skill to do well.

The goal is to push ALL of the treasure into the chest, so that the pirates can
pull it up to their ship. Use the Arrow Keys to move Karpoh around, and use the
Space Bar to push things.
If there are any locals around, it would be wise to try to trap them in bubbles
to get them out of the way, as they can get defensive about their treasure!

Information:
The sewers beneath Neopia Central haven't been repaired in years -- and now
they're broken down and flooding with nasty, smelly sewage!
You need to help Matt the Wocky repair sewer systems all over Neopia Central.
He's got the pieces, but he needs you to decide where they go! Sewage Surfer
Neopedia Article
In Sewage Surfer, the goal is to complete each level by placing pieces of sewer
pipe in order to connect the sewage source and the sewage drain:
You will get a random assortment of pieces in a random order. Click on the
empty squares in the sewer to place the next piece. If you get a piece you
don't want or can't use, you can discard it -- but be careful, because you can
only discard a certain number of pieces per level. Once you have placed all the
pieces, you can turn on the sewage flow -- but if your sewage system isn't
closed, you'll flood the sewer and have to start over!
It's okay to have extra pieces in the sewer, as long as they aren't attached to
your pipe system.
If your sewer system is complete, you score points based on the number of
pieces in your solution. The more pieces you used in the completed part of your
system, the higher your score; any extra pieces laying around the puzzle
subtract from your score.
You can restart any level at any time, unless you've already finished the
level. You lose 50 points for restarting the level. When the game ends (and
ONLY when the game ends!), you win neopoints based on your score. The higher
your score, the more neopoints you get. Neopoints are awarded when you finish
the last level, or if you quit the game. You need to score 5,000 points before
you will be awarded any neopoints -- the Neopian City Council doesn't reward
half-efforts, so get to fixing!

Only played once to get a score. The information above seems to describe it
pretty well if you ask me.

You need to change all the shapes into the goal shape (the sword), by placing

Information:
In this game you have to guide Dieter the Polarchuck (a very hungry Polarchuck
who just loves munching snow!) to the bottom of each level before the time runs
out!
Use the arrow keys to move Dieter around - he can climb only one block at a
time though. Press the space bar to munch those yummy snow blocks. As Dieter
eats he becomes more and more bloated, so pick up the Bloat-B-Gone medicine to
help him burp. If he gets to 100% bloated he will lose a life.
Watch out for the Snow Wurms - if you release them they will come after you
(but leave their treasures unguarded!) Lastly, collect gems for extra points.
Get munching!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
You need to keep an eye on a few things - your bloat level and the time. These
seem to be the main ones that kill me. I try to eat my way as fast as possible
to the next medicine item, and only get gems which get in my way.
For a few extra points per level, keep one level of ice blocks and eat ice to
the side of you, until Dieter is either at 95% bloat, or you are nearly out of
time (or you run out of ice to eat). Eat through the last layer to progress to
the next level.
It's probably one of the better games for getting NP. It's not too tough to get
over 500NP per game.

death?
To play the game you have to spell words out by following the blocks in any
direction (including diagonals). The longer the word the more points you get.
If you get a certain number of points then Neopet V2 will open the door to the
next level. Good luck, and try not to starve!

Another one I am no good at. You basically have a grid of letters, and need to
make long words. I guess you can use a dictionary to help.

STAMP COLLECTOR

Link: http://www.neopets.com/stamps.phtml
Game Type: Collecting
Category: Puzzle
Avatars available: Five - Complete the Mystery Island, Haunted Woods, Tyrannia,
Virtupets or Lost Desert pages of the stamp album.
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
Getting a full stamp collection is extremely hard, but also a lot of fun, and
here is the place to do it. Basically each page of your album can contain 25
stamps, and is of a certain Neopian theme. There are 20 stamps that are easy-
ish to find, and then 5 stamps at the bottom that are ultra-holo-foil-
extremely-rare stamps.
When you find a stamp, go to your items, click on it and you will get the
option 'Put in Stamp Album'. Each stamp can be put in your album only once, and
bear in mind... once the stamp is in there is no way to get it out.... so if
you have a rare one and you want to trade, the best place for it is in your
safety deposit box.
Where do I find stamps?
Stamps will be available at the Post Office Kiosk (follow the link at the top
of the page). You may also find stamps around the site when a random event
happens, as the reward to signing up with a sponsor, or as the prize to one of
the many games.
Do I have to lick the stamps?
No, each Neopian Stamp Album comes with easy-to-use adhesive pads, so no
licking is required.
Good Luck Stamp Hunters!!!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
I suggest looking at the albums of the people that are high up the list for
this. Find the names of stamps you need, and see how much they are selling for
on the shop wizard, or on the trading post. Some are worth millions of NP.

Information:
Legend has it that there was an ancient Geb named Sutek. He was stronger,
fitter, and cleverer than the other Gebs, and was praised by all for his
courage and wisdom. When he died, they built him a tomb that was the same shape
as him (known as a Gebmid). It had four triangular sides, and a square base.
There are now many Gebmids around the Lost Desert, but Sutek's was the first.
To stop people getting at Sutek's riches (millions of Neopoints), his advisors
placed a combination lock on the tomb. Strange symbols adorned an impassable
door. For the person who could figure out the pattern to unlock the tomb, well,
he would be the wealthiest person alive!
To play Sutek's Tomb you must swap two adjacent tiles (by clicking on each one
in turn). Your aim - to score points by getting three, four or five tiles in a
row. Set up combinations to earn bonus points. The Lucky Coin is indeed lucky,
as it acts as a wildcard, and the Bomb will destroy all the symbols in a row,
but only if it falls more than two blocks. Don't run out of time!!!
Zen Mode is just for stress relief. You can play for a very long period of time
but the NP is greatly reduced.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
If you want a decent score, play on hard mode. You have 60 seconds to get as
many points as possible. Combos will give you extra time though, so make sure
you look for them.
A tip some people use is to get a screenshot, pause, and find available moves
that way. I only do this when I can't see a move to make immediately.

Plays per day: 3
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
To understand what is going on here, you should read the Neopedia Article!
In the game you control Gilly, a poor Usul who was lost in the woods and
accidentally stumbled into the Castle of Eliv Thade seeking shelter. As you
enter, the heavy iron door slams shut, and locks behind you. Uh oh.
To escape, you must visit all four rooms, and collect an item from each, and
then head to the Crypt to put the spirit of Eliv Thade to rest. Beware, this
terrible spirit has been driven insane over the years and will do anything he
can to stop you escaping his domain.
You can move 1, 2, or 3 spaces using the mouse, but beware - each time you move
Thade will give you an anagram, and the further you try to move the harder the
anagram will be! Watch out for the cracked floor also - you don't want to fall
into the basement, oh no, that would be bad!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Just use an anagram solver in a different window. They generally have around
95% of the answers you'll need. It's the other 5% (often neopet related terms)
that's the problem. They are easy enough to find on the internet - use a search
engine. It's much harder to do yourself, but possible.
Don't land on a cracked tile. It isn't worth the risk. There are also two
hidden paths. You can find them for yourself :D

TIME TUNNEL
################
Game Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/timetunnel.phtml
In their adventures across the planet of Kreludor, Gorix and Cylara uncover a
mysterious door covered with symbols. They don't know what is inside, it could
be treasure, or more importantly - clues that will help them find the secret of
Kreludor and defeat the evil Dr. Sloth.
To play Time Tunnel you have to work out what secret code of four coloured
stones opens the door. You have twelve tries in total. Click on each stone to
change its colour, and then press UNLOCK to submit your guess.
Once you have guessed the door will tell you how close your guess was to the
correct answer. An Orange mark means that the stone is the correct colour, but
in the wrong position. Each Green mark means that it's the correct colour in
the correct position, and a white coloured mark simply means an incorrect
stone.

Information:
Doctor Sloth is up to his old tricks again! His latest batch of robotic Neopets
did not go according to plan... they had no weapons, no malice, no anger...
they were useless for taking over the world, and so he threw them away... into
a place he knew they would never escape from...
Your job is to get these Robotic Neopets to safety. On each level you must use
each Neopet's special ability to try and guide all the Neopets into the exit
(little brown door) in the fastest time possible. Each Neopet has a special
ability (for instance the Kougra can dig and the Mynci can climb).
Lastly, watch out for the spikes, lava and other dangers that you would usually
find in the toybox of an evil scientist :) Good luck!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
There's a great FAQ for this available on Gamefaqs already by KindarSpirit. I
won't bother with a guide, as that's much better than I could explain it. The
game is a bit like Lemmings, but nowhere near as good (although Lemmings is one
of my favourite games, so that doesn't mean much).

TREASURE MAPS

Game Type: HTML
Category: Puzzle
Avatars available: One. Purchase the Secret Laboratory Map pieces (approx
550000 NP for the set!), and have the ray change your pets species.
Information:
Welcome to the treasure hunt! Hidden around the Neopets site are nine pieces of
a map that lead to riches! When you see a part of the map, come to this page
and you can see your progress. When the map is completed, you will be able to
collect your prize!
Each actual map piece is an item, and this means that it can be stolen, traded,
sold, auctioned, disintegrated, and so on... so be very careful!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Don't bother with the underwater or space maps. These are retired and cost a
fortune for little return. The lab map is expensive, but is the only way to get
certain colour combinations for pets (such as robot). It can also raise/lower
your pets stats, change gender and species. The original map gives you five
rare items and costs approx 130000 NP. The spooky map is the cheapest at around
70000 NP, and gives you some spooky food items.
Generally, the lab map is the most sought after one. The original and spooky
maps can pay off quite nicely, and are worth trying if you can afford them. You
can get map pieces from players shops, auctions and the trading post. You can
also get them from random events, but these are very rare.

Information:
The pirates of Krawk Island are notoriosly bad spelers, and that is why it's
always a good idea to pay a trip to Captain Roundhoof's pirate school! As we
all know, pirates have a very short attention span (unless they are plundering
ships or drinking grog), so Roundhoof devised a game to get his pirates to
learn.
In Word Poker you are given a scrambled up word and have to make as many words
as possible out of it in a time limit. There are six categories that you must
score points in, three-letter words, four-letter words, five-letter, full
house, flush and wild. After each 60 second round has finished, click on the
category that you did the best in, and that score will be saved. The game is
over after all six rounds are up.
It sounds confusing, and it is, but you will quickly get the hang of it :) Good
luck, and more importantly, Arrrr!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
You will be given 9 letters and your aim is to make as many words as possible.
I find this hard, but some things I can recommend are:
* Focus on one category at a time. For example, try to get as many 3 letter
words in the first round as possible, and ignore longer words.
* Look for plurals.
* Anagrams are another thing to look for. As an example, the letters A,T,R,S
can form art, arts, tar, tars, rat, rats, star, sat, as, at, a, tsar. Quite a
few, just from four letters.

Information:
Start by shooting the peanut out of the Elephante's trunk. Click on the left
and right arrow keys to power up your throw. Once you get as high as you can,
click the up arrow to throw.
Now help the Puppyblew chase the peanut down using the arrow keys again. Use
the right arrow to move the Puppyblew forward in the screen and stay lined up
with the shadow.
To avoid the logs, make the Puppyblew jump using one of the following key
combinations:
Left Up Right => Front Flip
Right Up Left => Back Flip
Up Right => Straight Jump
Left Right Left Right Up => 2x Front Flip
Right Left Right Left Up => 2x Backflip
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
With practice, this game should get you around 1500 NP (or more) per day. Quite
good, as it takes about 3 minutes per game.
Power up the power bar by hitting the left and right arrows alternately, as
much as you can. When the bar has reached the maximum you can get it, press up.
I can generally only just make the red part of the gauge, but then I'm not a
great button masher. When you can control the Puppyblew, hold the right arrow
until you are just to the left of the shadow. Your next task is to focus on
jumping as many logs as possible - each log you jump will earn you 10 points.
Any jump will do, I generally just do straight jumps. The final part is
catching the peanut. If you miss it, you will not score any points for that
throw, so make sure you do catch it! Try for super catches. These are when you
catch the peanut in mid air. It is 10 points for a regular catch, 30 for a
catch in a flip, and 50 points for catching it in the middle of a double flip!
Takes a little bit of practice to get the hang of, but it's worth the effort.
You score 10 points for every 10 metres the peanut travels.
I power up the bar until it turns red, straight jump all logs, and do a 2x
Front Flip catch. Generally I get around 210 points per throw for this. Not
much, but if you are good at the button mashing part (which I'm not), you
should easily beat that.
Computer speed can affect your scores in this game. Mine is NOT good, quite a
few games don't run very well, this is one. I don't play this as much as I
should, as it's quite a good game for quick NP. It also seems a bit glitchy, as
often when you enter the jump commands, nothing happens.

faster than the computer-controlled Race Robot. Click on the 'Go!' button as
many times as you can to make Ace run faster.
However, the marketing department of Virtupets Studios has been trying lately
to earn extra revenues from this game's popularity... you have been warned!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
The game starts easy, but quickly gets very tough. Focus more on clicking the
Go! icon, rather than closing ads, because as soon as you click the button 30
times you will finish the level. Only close ads which are in the way, you may
need to drag some with the menu bar of the ad to get the 'x' on screen so you
can close it.
I suggest running the game in full screen. It's up to you though, you may find
this is worse. I always seemed to click out of the game screen when I didn't
run it full screen, wasting a fair bit of time.
One annoying thing that happens: part way into level 6 or so, the game will
close itself. Even if you are a long way in front. Not sure why it happens, but
it is VERY annoying. It's the main reason I don't play this much.

ATTACK OF THE REVENGE

It was very foolish of Garin to try and be a pirate on somebody else's turf,
and now he has to pay the penalty. One stormy evening a HUGE ship sailed right
next to Garin's ship, belonging to the fearsome Captain Scarblade - he was out
for revenge!
In this game you play Garin and your mission is to repel the pirate hordes! You
must use the arrow keys to move, and the Space Bar to swipe your sword.
Initially you only have to stop the pirates from climbing aboard, but later on
you will also have to fire your cannons at the Revenge. When your cannons are
on fire you will have to put them out with the bucket of water. Bear in mind
you can only carry one item at a time.
Good luck!

Meridell. Home to some of the finest fruits and vegetables in the whole of

decide they are hungry there is not a farmer in the land who can stop them.
In Attack of the Slorgs you play a resourceful Yurble farmer who has decided to
take things into his own hands. You have spent the last few weeks making your
Slorgeriser X4, a machine that spits out balls of Slorg-B-Gone.
Slorgs can only be repelled by balls of Slorg-B-Gone that are the same colour
as them, and it has to be at least three of them at a time. If you fail to
repel the Slorgs, they will increase in number - so watch out! Use the arrow
keys to aim the Slorgeriser right and left, and press the Space Bar to fire.
Good luck, Meridell is counting on you!

Information:
Welcome to the greatest, most fantabulous game show in Neopia - Better Than
You! Every week we will feature a new contestant who is .... Better Than You.
Fancy taking up the challenge and beating them?
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
The game for this changes weekly and can range from quite hard to impossible
difficulty. You need to be online when they update it (random time on Thursday,
generally in the afternoon) to have a chance at the gold trophy. You also need
to be good at the featured game.
I'll be honest, I haven't managed to win one of these yet. Some are almost
impossible to beat - 2000 points in Faerie Bubbles? 1400 points in Trouble at
the National Neopian? 300 points in Attack of the Marblemen? 800 points in
Raiders of Maraqua? Think YOU can beat these scores? Maybe this is the game for
you. They're all a bit out of my league.

For 1 player use the arrow keys to move left right, accelerate and brake. If
you wish to play with more than one person at the keyboard, each person gets to
use their own keys (it will tell you which keys when you start playing).
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Haven't played this much, but as far as I can tell, you need to keep YOUR
vehicles damage as low as possible. Computer cars often take themselves out, so
let them where possible. They drive in a straight line at you too. Get a
destroyed car between you and them and let them hit that car instead. Saves you
damaging your vehicle, and destroys there's (slowly). It'd probably be a fun
game with friends, but I haven't tried that yet. You can play 2-4 players on
one keyboard.
There is a glitch in this game too. Often at the end of a level, if you press
any key besides the space bar, you won't go to the next level. Nothing to do
but restart or crash if this happens.

Use the mouse to aim, and the mouse button to shoot. Collect the time, health,
and ammo bonuses for more time, health, and ammo respectively. Good Luck!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Another game I'm not very good at. The main targets are clowns legs when they
are floating down (1 hit kill) and the pies thrown at you. Clowns on the ground
take two shots to kill (I think). Bonus items are very handy (especially the
time), so try to get these when they are available.

CASTLE BATTLES
################
Game Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/castlebattles.phtml
Growing up at the Royal Nursery, Hagan and Skarl had an intense rivalry playing
games with their PluckoNM blocks. They would both try and build the biggest
castle, and then take it in turns to knock them down.
Playing as Hagan, your objective is to shoot your cannonball over to Skarl's
castle and knock the gold treasure outside of the red square. For additional
points, destroy the castle and knock over his silly Meridell flags!
To start, first select what type of castle Hagan will be using. Then click and
drag the green square with the gold treasure on it to the desired location on
the overhead map. From there the real fun begins. Use the arrow keys to aim
your cannon. Hold the Space Bar down to start to build up power and then let go
to release the cannonball. Whenever you defeat one of King Skarl's castles it
will be unlocked so you can select it the next time you play the game!

There are 3 different difficulty levels and six different questions total, but
sometimes the questions will get reversed. (For example, 'which does NOT start

I find medium difficulty to be the easiest here, but play on easy until you get

You play Dorak, an enterprising young Krawk in a rowing boat. Try and salvage

fired from the Black Pawkeet. Use the left and right arrow keys to turn, up
arrow key to accelerate and the down arrow key to reverse.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Takes a while to get used to the game, but this is one of the best games for
scoring neopoints. The strategy I've found the best is to move in circles
around the outside of the area, with the mines in the middle. Doesn't always
work though.

Information:
In this game, you play Samrin the Kacheek, a simple shepherd who has to get his
petpets to safety before Balthazar (who is very hungry after a day hunting
faeries) eats them all.
Use the Arrow Keys to move. You automatically pick up each petpet as you touch
it (use the Space Bar to drop the petpet). Try and put them all into the
paddock before Balthazar eats them. You have three lives, and you lose one each
time you, or a petpet gets eaten.
Picking up a Snowflake will freeze Balthazar temporarily, and picking up an
orange speed orb will give you a temporary burst of speed!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
If you have a choice to make between getting eaten yourself, or a petpet
getting eaten, choose the first option. This is especially true if it's the
bonus petpet. As you grab the last petpet, Balthazar will move to the top left
corner, and won't attack you. You can use this to pause the game if you really
want. I recommend putting the last petpet in the left hand entrance, so you are
near the corner where Balthazar appears on the next level, and can hopefully
save any petpets that may be eaten quickly.

Information:
Faerie Bubbles pop if you get three of the same type together, and it's up to
you to clear each level by popping all of them. Use the left and right arrow
keys to move the bubble cannon and press the space bar to fire.
If you get four or more bubbles together you will set off a combo. The first
three are good combos, and the bottom three are bad combos.
Water - This destroys all water bubbles on the screen.
Light - This changes all bubbles touching the combo to a random colour.
Fire - This burns all non-water bubbles that touch the combo.
Air - This is BAD. Don't do an air combo, seriously.
Earth - This makes a new line of bubbles appear.
Dark - All the bubbles in the combo will turn to random types.
The less moves you complete each level in, the higher your score will be. Also
look out for Nova and Rainbow bubbles, each with their own special effects!
Just in case you didn't know - you can click the little X in the top left hand
corner of the game board to get options such as turn music off and restart.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Very similar to games such as Bust-A-Move. Follow the advice given in the
information section - do NOT do the last three combos if you can avoid it. You
may want to try using a ruler to see exactly where you are aiming as well, I
found it useful.

You can also play this game 2 player against a friend!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
I always seem to run out of space before my opponent, and lose. Very rarely do
I win a game. Try playing "chicken" with your opponent - fly straight at them
and move at the last instant. I don't know if this is the best way to go about
it though, it seems to be a lot of luck to me.

Information:
Neopians have been playing with cute little figurines for ages, completely
oblivious of the dark secrets behind their production...
In this game you play a factory worker employed by Krelufun Industries, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Virtupets, Inc (the corporate arm of Dr. Sloth's
empire.) It's nearing the end of the quarter, and management have just sold a
huge amount of little Neopet miniatures, much more than the factory could
produce, but that's not their problem is it... oh no... and if that order
cannot be fulfilled it's YOUR job on the line!
So it's your job to produce the miniatures. Over on the right hand side of the
screen you will see what colour miniature you have to produce next. Blobs of
liquid Kreludite scroll across the top of the screen. It is your job to make
sure (by clicking on them with the mouse) that they fall into the correct vat.
Red blobs go into the Red vat and so on.
Kreludite is a very unstable material, and prone to mutation. This is why you
will see different blobs scroll across at less frequent intervals. Each one has
a special effect, but you'll have to work them out for yourself. Lastly, watch
out for the Grundo Thief, he'll try and steal from your production line, but
you can click him to bump him on the head!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
This is a game I've been meaning to try a bit more often, as it doesn't seem
very complex. More on special effects and other tips in a later update.

Information:
What better way to relax after a nice plate of rare, expensive food than a game
of bowls. We don't mean bowling either, that game has no finesse, no skill. We
mean bowls!
In this game, you play against a variety of opponents. You each get to roll one
of your bowls (yours are red, your opponent's are blue) down the green to try
and get it closest to the jack (the white ball). You may knock your opponent's
bowls out of play, and he may do the same to you, but if the jack goes out of
play your opponent gets 2 points.
At the end of each round, points are awarded depending on the number of bowls
in play that you have nearest to the jack. If there are two blue balls closest,
that means you score two points. The first to 7 wins the match, and moves on to
play a harder opponent! Lastly, watch out, in later levels there may be hazards
on the green that will hinder your play.
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Use the shepherd code at the start. You can also try using a ruler to line up
your shots. Apart from that, I can't help much.

Having completed the Pirate Caves, Hannah's back, and this time she's not
alone. In Hannah and the Ice Caves you have help from your friend Armin the
Bori. He may not be able to jump as high as Hannah, and he can't swim but Armin
can crawl through snow and destroy some enemies by running them over.
To complete each level you must guide both Hannah and Armin to the exit. Open
the door by collecting every piece of treasure on the level. Be careful when
running as the icy ground will make you slide all over the place!
To play, use the arrow keys to move and the space bar to jump. Use S key to
switch between Hannah and Armin. Good luck!

HANNAH AND THE PIRATE CAVES
################
Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/piratecaves.phtml
Game Type: Flash
Category: Action
Avatars available: None
NP Ratio: 1NP per 100pts scored
Plays per day: 3
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
Hannah the Usul always wanted a life of danger. Unfortunately, working in a
tavern on Krawk Island was both boring and badly-paid. One day she was reading
an old book that spoke of ancient caves, built by pirates many years ago - a
place where they could hide their loot, but unfortunately guarded by traps and
monsters. Hannah couldn't wait - this was exactly the thing she'd been looking
for.
The aim of the game is to collect all the treasure and get to the exit. Use the
arrow keys to move and the space bar to jump. The game has an excellent
tutorial, so we recommend that you go through that first. Good luck - Hannah is
counting on you!
NOTE - This game may run slowly on older computers, sorry about that :(

HASEE BOUNCE
################
Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/haseebounce.phtml
Game Type: Flash
Category: Action
Avatars available: None
Scoring:
Beginner: Under 100 points
Grand Master: 100 points or more.
NP Ratio: 300NP per 100pts scored
Plays per day: 3
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
Hasee bounce high to get the yummy Doughnutfruit (which comes in lots of
flavours)! Watch out for dung and other nasty things that make Hasee sick.
Collect the letters to spell HASEE to extend your time!
To play Hasee Bounce you will need to use the mouse. Move left and right to
position the Hasee in the correct place and then press the left mouse button to
make one Hasee jump down and the other Hasee jump up.
NOTE : Woogy the Orange Hasee only picks up orange letters and Jimmi the Purple
Hasee only picks up purple letters. They both love all types of Doughnutfruit
though!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Combos are your friend in this game! Getting multiple doughnutfruit in one jump
(both down with one Hasee and up with the other) will double the score for the
second, and triple the value of the third. Very handy if you can do this with
the high point ones.

NP Ratio: 2NP per 100pts scored
Plays per day: 3
Trophies: High score based. 1-3 = Gold, 4-8 = Silver, 9-17 = Bronze
Information:
Hubrid Nox has stolen all the Heroes from the Neopets Trading Card Game... all
part of his evil master plan to make sure that him and the other villains will
not be opposed when they try to take over the whole of Neopia!
In this game (which is based on the Neopets TCG of course!) you play the Poogle
Apprentice, a young wanna-be sorcerer who has just found out about Hubrid's
evil plans. It is up to you to reclaim the Heroes and save the day. It's not
going to be easy however, Hubrid's ghost minions will try to stop you every
step of the way.
To play, use the arrow keys to move, and the space bar to cast your shrink
spell. When you shrink an enemy, they remain small for a few seconds, then run
over them to squish them. Press the up/down arrow and the space bar together to
cast a teleport spell - handy for getting out of trouble!
There are 6 heroes to save! Good luck!
**************** Ringworm's Hints and Tips ****************
Learn how the various enemies attack, then work out how to avoid them. Make
sure to pick up as many items as possible.

HUNGRY SKEITH
################
Game Link: http://www.neopets.com/games/hungryskeith.phtml
Jellies come down the conveyor belt. Blue jellies go in the Blue vat. Red
jellies go in the Red vat. Green jellies, yes no prizes for guessing where they
go, the green vat. It's not a fun job, but somebody's got to do it.
At the Jelly Factory the Buzz Foreman takes great pride in making sure that the
Jelly is of top quality, and that is where the Skeith comes in - he gets to eat
all the other food (ice-cream!) that makes its way down the conveyor belt.
To play, use the arrow keys to control the Buzz Foreman. Pick up the Jellies
with the Space Bar and drop them in the correct vat at the back of the factory.
The Skeith is not allowed to eat the Jelly
