In Revel Roundup you play as Orrin, a Nimmo from the past Neopet’s Event, Cyodrake’s Gaze. Orrin is trying to prepare for the Shenkuu Lunar Festival, but unfortunately some of the costumed Snorkles have managed to escape. Your job is to save the festival by catching all the Snorkles. For every .47 points you earn in game you will earn 1 Neopoint.
Revel Roundup Basic Instructions
You will begin the game standing next to Anshu, who was a doctor in the Cyodrake’s Gaze crew. He will hand you a shopping list of items, which will be located on the left-hand side of your screen. This list will not only include Snorkles, but other various items for the festival that are left laying around the garden. If you collect an item that is not located on your list, denoted by a yellow exclamation mark above Orrin’s head, you will have to walk back to Anshu before you are able to collect the remaining correct items. Once you collect everything you will advance to the next level; there are 3 levels total in Revel Roundup. You will have 2 minutes at the start of the game, with each yellow light (on the in game circular clock in the upper left corner of your screen) representing 10 seconds. Once a light turns green, it means that you have lost that time. Beware, your clock will not fully reset at the end of each level, instead you gain back 3 yellow lights, or 30 seconds.
Revel Roundup Controls
The controls in this game cannot be any simpler, it’s the good old up down left and right arrow keys. These keys will move Orrin around the Revel Roundup map.
Roundup Items to Collect
In each of the 3 levels you will be asked to collect a certain amount of items.
- Level 1 – 6 items
- Level 2 – 10 items
- Level 3 – 12 items
For every level your list will be EXACTLY half Snorkles and half festival items. There will never be any “extra” Snorkles laying around on the map in Revel Roundup, so if you see one on your list, pick it up! However there may SOMETIMES be extra festival items laying around on the map. If you spot an item on your list that is not easy to get to, blocked by another item, or just out of your way, you might consider ignoring it in hopes of finding another one in a more accessible spot.

Revel Roundup Items to Avoid
Along with items to collect, there are also items you will want to avoid in Revel Roundup. These items are decoy items are there just to cause you more trouble!
Decoy Items
Pandaphant |
Juma |
Picking up these items will cause you to lose 3 points (-3) and time while walking back to Anshu. Sometimes these items will be placed infront of you, blocking the way, and you need to decide whether it is worth the 3 point deduction and loss of time or to find an alternate path. Typically if the item is not in the same square as Anshu you would want to look for an alternative path.
Revel Roundup Scoring
Scoring in Revel Roundup is very simple. You earn 4 points for each Snorkle you recover, and all other items on your list are worth 2 points each. Picking up an incorrect item will lose you 3 points. At the end of each level you will receive a time bonus. Each yellow light left on the clock is equal to 1.3 points. The raw points (score not including time bonuses, deductions, or other level scores) is featured below.
- Level 1 – 18 points
- Level 2 – 30 Points
- Level 3 – 36 points
Revel Roundup Strategies
The most efficient way to conquer Revel Roundup is to have a specific route to travel around the garden. Each user will have his own preferred method of moving, but pick one and try to stick to it. The one we are suggesting is as follows.
Think of the map as a grid if 9 squares labeled as such (see Map of Revel Roundup below for more details)
1 | 2 | 3
4 | 5 | 6
7 | 8 | 9
Square 1 is the top left (where you will spawn next to Anshu), square 3 is the top right, square 9 is the bottom right, and square 7 is the bottom left. We suggesting moving around the map in the following order:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 8, 5, 4, 7.
Of course as you learn the map you will be able to develop a path of movement that suits you best! Just remember it’s best to try and finish each map as soon as possible because you will be rewarded more points in the long run, which mean more neopoints!
