Neopets Kiko Pop Guide

On 4 September 2014, a fun game over at Kiko Lake was released: Kiko Pop! Based on a famous real-world carnival game, Kiko Pop is a strategic daily that can offer some poppin’ prizes. See what I did there?

PLAYING KIKO POP

Kiko Pop is a very simple game that you can play once a day. You are given one dart so you only get one chance!

The host Elvin the Yellow Kiko will give you three options to chose from:

After you’ve chosen your difficulty, you will be presented with your spinning wheel, which will spin more quickly based on the level of difficulty that you’ve chosen:

Here’s where your strategy will come into play. The center balloon is the easiest to hit because it does not move as much as the other balloons. With harder difficulty, there will be very short pauses in which the wheel is not spinning, as it changes direction. This would be the best time for your dart to land on a balloon. Timing is very important! You should not throw the dart while the wheel is paused, but a moment beforehand, since the dart needs a moment to travel in the air. It might take some practice on each difficulty setting before you really have the hang of it. And, of course, there is no way to guarantee that you will hit a balloon even if you have timed it perfectly. The game, to an extent, is rigged. Hey, it’s a carnival game – what did you expect?!

If you miss a balloon, you’ll get this message:

If you have popped a balloon, you’ll notice a ticket with a certain symbol on it. This is an indication of the prize you will receive! Click “Reveal prize” at the bottom of the screen to collect your winnings:
