Neopets Shenanigifts Guide

OVERVIEW

Shenanigifts is the latest game to come from the NC Mall in which users can exclusive NC wearables! After buying in-game “invitations,” which can be found in the Mall, users can attend parties and use “Power-Ups” to win Neocash prizes. Read more below to see how to play and what you can win!

GETTING STARTED — INVITATIONS & POWER-UPS

In order to play, users must have an “invitation” which are necessary to enter a particular party. Invitations can be purchased from the NC Mall individually or in packs:

As you can see, buying packs will save you NC in the long run. While a 1-pack values an invitation at 150 NC, buying a 5-pack values them at 100 NC each. If you plan on playing Shenanigifts multiple times, consider buying a pack! When you’re ready to play, simply go to your inventory, click on the invitation, and click “Activate” in the scroll-down menu. The item will activate in-game and will never expire.

There are also optional Power-Ups that can be used in the game, also purchasable through the NC Mall:

Power-Ups will not show up in your inventory, but instead, you will find them in your in-game inventory.
These three Power-Ups have different functions:

Extra Chance Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up to choose a fourth Elephante during the game.
2 Gift Party Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up to win a second prize! This is both the most expensive and most popular Power-Up.
Second Look Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up after you’ve taken your third turn

While Power-Ups are not necessary, you may want to consider them if you are aiming for a specific prize.

PICKING A PARTY

In Shenanigifts, the different parties give out different prizes, and each has a specific theme. There are currently three active parties: Garden Party, Lunar Festival Party, and Caroling Party. If you want a specific prize, check out the items you can win in the “Prizes” section of this article and choose the corresponding party! Each party has the same amount of items to possibly win.

PLAYING SHENANIGIFTS

Shenanigifts is a very simple game. First, choose a party to attend on the main page and then click “Join the Party”. Once you’re inside of the party, you will start giving gifts by selecting a party attendant, confirm that you would like to in fact choose that guest, and then the (surprisingly nameless) purple Elephante host will present you with their gift. Now, you decide if you want to take this gift and exit the game or continue receiving gifts. If you want a different gift, click “Pick Another” and then select another party guest. Warning: Without the right Power-Ups, the Elephante whose gift you rejected will fade away and cannot be re-selected. Every round you play (1 invitation), you can choose up to a third Elephante. If you reject the first two gifts you receive, you will be with the third gift you receive. Rarely, you can win a bonus item, which is completely random. Your gift(s) can be found in your item inventory at the end of the game.

You can use your Power-Ups during and at the end of the game, so this is where the only game strategy will take place. You can see how many of each Power-Up you have on the homepage, and you can always buy more at the NC Mall.
