Neopets Edna’s Shadow is a Neopian twist on the classic item gathering-enemy avoiding game genre. With an experiment gone bad, Edna was separated from her shadow, but together, the two of them must collect ingredients to make a potion to unite the two once again. However, can both Edna and her shadow avoiding the petpets that skitter and scamper throughout the Haunted Woods, or will it drive you batty trying to accomplish this feat? We do not apologize for that pun, and if anything, we apologize for not having more funs throughout this site. Without further ado, let’s dive into Edna’s Shadow!

Basics

The usual control mechanics are applied in this setting as well. The up arrow key and the down arrow key move both Edna and her shadow in the respective directions of up and down. However, with the left arrow key and the right arrow key, this is where things get a bit more complicated. For Edna, the for mentioned arrow keys will move her left and right, respectively. However, for her shadow, the left arrow key will move her in the right direction, while the right arrow key will move her in the left direction. It’s a bit odd at first, but after a few levels of gameplay, it’s become second nature to controlling both of the characters.

The goal of the game is to gather each item within the game, while avoiding enemies that move around. There are no items that will harm either of your characters, so don’t be afraid to touch random objects in the game. A good rule of thumb is that anything that is stationary, and doesn’t move ever, you need to get to complete the level. While some enemies might stop moving, if it ever scampered, skittered, or slithered during game play, it’s best to avoid it. However, spikes, bones, and frozen spiders are all fair game! Once the shadow and Edna collect the items they need, it’s time to meet at the red cauldron! Both Edna and her shadow must meet at the red cauldron to proceed to the next level. If unsure about having collected all the items needed to proceed to the next level, look at the red cauldron. If the red cauldron is green, bubbling, and glowing, you’re all good to go and proceed back to the cauldron.

Enemies

So, you’re starting to get the hang of this whole shadow and Edna thing. The controls aren’t that scary anymore, and gathering those ingredients is a piece of Glaring Cheesecake. All of a sudden, a spooky little petpet starts to charge up to you. What the heck do you do now? You need not worry, dear player. Notice the space bar on your keyboard? If you press it, a zap will be casted! Both Edna and her shadow still have her magical witch abilities, and if an enemy is hit, not only do they get disintegrated, 10 points is awarded to your score! However, you cannot walk and zap at the same time. Be careful not to walk straight into an enemy! However, what happens if you do walk into an enemy? You’ll be quite happy to know that the concept of “lives” and “lives lost,” is not existent in this game! If Edna or her shadow is hit by an enemy, they will become frozen. Simply take the non-frozen character, walk over to them, and unfreeze them! You’re unable to collect items or proceed to the next level if one character is frozen. However, do take caution. If both Edna and her shadow are frozen, the game will end. This is the only way to lose the game.

Scoring

While there is no avatar to be earned from this game, a shiny new trophy for your user lookup is always fine and dandy! Each item gathered is worth 5 points. As mentioned above, each enemy zapped is worth 10 points. However, this game is timed in the sense of bonus points! Any remaining seconds on the timer will be translated into points, with a one second per one-point ratio. Speaking of points, the Neopoint payout is about .91 of a point per 1 Neopoint, with a score of about 910 points giving a payout of 1000 NP. This is a pretty decent deal, especially if gained to the maximum amount of times your score is submitted.

Misc. Items

To be clear, there are no items that will have an intentional negative effect on your gameplay with Edna and her shadow. However, it’s good to keep in mind what each item does, and for what period of time!

• Glowing Green Orb: This item freezes all critters for about 4 seconds. You’ll start seeing this item at level 3 and forward.

• Potion: This item switches the controls for Edna and her shadow. As described above, the left arrow key and right arrow keys control the left and right directions for Edna, but the same keys control the right and left directions for her shadow. With this potion, for the rest of the level, the statement above is switched. The left arrow key and right arrow key control the right and left directions for Edna, respectively, and the left and right directions for her shadow.

• Pocket Watch: This item is ESPECIALLY useful, because it can give you potential additional points! This item adds an extra ten seconds to your timer, and if you finish the game quickly, can result in those extra bonus points!

Cheats

Lucky for you, dear player! We have a code for you. If you type, “edmoretime,” at some point during the game, you will receive an extra 25 seconds to your timer! Bonus points for everyone to enjoy! As a parting tip, we suggest you look out for the blocks that look a bit different than the rest! If you zap them, you might find an apple core or two, worth 5 points each, to help beef up your score. There’s 14 levels to Edna’s Shadow, and with each playthrough, the game mechanics will become more fluid with each go about.

As per usual, good luck, dear player!

Neopets’ Legends of Pinball is a kind blast from the past, from a former era where everyone would crowd around that deaf, dumb and blind kid, who I heard could play a mean pinball. Song references aside, Legends of Pinball is a faithful representation of the game we all know and love, with of course, a hero of Neopia twist. Strap on in, and let’s blast into a fun journey of knowledge and strategy with the Legends of Pinball game.

Basics

With your left and right arrow keys as your respectable traditional pinball flippers (the left and right CRTL keys if you have them can also work as the opposing pinball flippers), your aim is to accumulate as many points as you can. The down arrow key is used to launch the initial ball to start the game. To continue on with the pinball flippers, there will sometimes be more than the two pinball flippers on the bottom. For simplicity case, the pinball flippers located on the left will be controlled by the left arrow key, and pinball flippers located on the right will be controlled by the right arrow key. Five balls will be given at the beginning of a level, per level, and if you run out of those five balls? It’s game over for you, pal. Try to avoid that, however, no further points are gained for balls remaining, so don’t be too worried about ball loss. Play around with strategies, see what works best for you when it comes to point accumulation. Speaking of which, on to the point

Points

In order to proceed from level to level, one must hit a designated target on the top of the screen at least three times. It’s in your best interest, however, to get as many points as possible per the four levels given, to not only maximize your payout, but to also try to get a trophy! With an averaged ratio of about 2.15 points per 1 Neopoint, with a score of about 2150 earning you a profit of 1000 NP, it can be an easy game to get a hang of to bring home the big bucks. Practice makes perfect, after all!

Pinball Bumpers on the first two levels earn you five points per hit on the first two levels. However, when you move onto the last two levels, they’re only worth four points per hit. Try to stretch out your time wisely. An additional 60 points per hit of the top target will be awarded a maximum of three times before transitioning to the next level, with 100 points awarded for simply finishing a level. It’s very easy to finish this game, however, as mentioned earlier, it’s in your best interest to gain as many points per level as possible.

Level 1.1

 

In order to progress to the next level of the game, you must hit the top three hangars at least once. Traveling through the tunnels will earn you ten points. The smaller side bumpers will earn you nine points per hit. As exhibited, there are three pinball flippers. The upper left one should be used to get the left hangar target, but should be avoided until the player wishes to progress to the next level. It’s seen as the easiest to control, target achieving wise.

Level 1.2

 

In order to progress past this level, you must hit Gorix and/or Cylara at least three times. They are considered moving targets, since both of their characters will be walking around. Keeping this fact in mind, don’t worry so much about trying to hit them. Focus on accumulating points within the board, you’ll eventually end up hitting Gorix and/or Cylara regardless of intent. In the upper left hand corner, you may notice a dark circle lined in red. If your ball gets stuck in there, it’ll remain stuck for a few seconds, before being released. This will trigger one of your five balls to come out of the reserves, giving you the option to play with duel pinballs. While having two balls on the field can gain additional points, it’s important to not let them fall through the cracks, otherwise, you’ll have no pinballs at all. We can’t have that, now can we?

Level 2.1

 

 

 

To progress to the next and final level, hit the target of the Draik Soldier with the pinball 3 times to wake him up from his slumber. This will result in him lowering the drawbridge to the final level! The black hole of sorts that we spoke of in the paragraph above is represented by the wishing well. However, notice the sleeping Turmy in the upper right hand corner? He’ll eat your ball if you hit him! You need not worry though, dear player. Simply click his head, and he’ll spit out your ball. He’s not cruel, after all.

Level 2.2

 

 

In order to end the game, you must hit Jeran, with his shield not protecting him, 3 times. The torches are magical, in the sense that they act like a buffer from balls falling into the drain. This is the easiest level, in many players’ opinion, to gain points. The manhole in the upper right is our black hole in this level. Do your best to gain as many points as you can, before you call it quits and start gunning for Jeran. However, please do keep in mind and remember, that once you hit Jeran a third time, it’s game over. Ensure that you get all the points you want before you start consciously try to hit Jeran as a target in this level.

Cheats

While there are no magical codes to give you additional points, or to reset the targets you hit, here are some parting tips before you go out on your pinball journey! The “P” key on your keyboard can pause the game, so you need not worry if you need a snack or have to use the bathroom. You’re taken care of! In addition, while in the real world, we make sure that ball flings out as quick and wild as possible, it’s best in this game you just give it enough power to just make it onto the board. It makes it a bit easier to control, and you’re not as likely to hit all of the targets that enable us to go to the next level. Lastly, keep your eye on the ball. This is not the game to get distracted on. It’s easy to grow careless as levels progress, but it’s simply not going to carry you far into victory. Always be aware of the targets you hit, and try not to get your ball into a sticky situation that results in the gutters.

As per always, good luck, dear player!

Or shall we say, dear pinball wizard!

Neopets Clockwork Codebreaker is a fun nostalgic game with one of the most easy trophies to obtain. Far beneath the ground a city run by clockwork lays hidden. This Moltaran machine chugs on effortlessly day by day, but occasionally, the machinery needs some maintenance, which is where you come in! Just like its predecessor, Time Tunnel, You have twelve attempts to figure out the correct combination of runes in order to break the code, hence Clockwork Codebreaker. Doing so will earn you a thousand points, the maximum score, and with this you’ll automatically receive a spiffy new Clockwork Codebreaker trophy for your userlookup.

Controls

Upon playing the game, your screen will look something like this:

The dial at the top left keeps track of the number of attempts left to break the code. You get 12 for every level. The four lights above the dials indicate the closeness of your guess to the solution.

Green – Correct rune, correct colour
Yellow – Correct rune, wrong place
Red – Wrong rune, wrong place

As the levels increase and each rune solution is longer, the number of lights above will increase to five, and then six. Unfortunately however, the position of the light does not match up with the position of the runes. Theres no way to know if that first green light is because the first one is correct, or the second, third or fourth. Just that one of them is correct.

In the centre of the screen are your dials and their runes in neat concentric circles. You can click each dial to move it left and right, thereby aligning your guess in the top centre segment beneath the lights. Once you’re satisfied with your guess, press the large red button in the middle of the screen to see how accurate.

Gameplay

First Stage

In the first stage, you start off with four gears and a possibility of five different runes: White, Pink, Orange, Red and Blank (yes! Blank counts as a possible part of the rune sequence). The aim of the game is to align each colour rune in the correct place, it could be a random combination, or four of the same colour. For every rune you manage to place in the right place, you will score 30 points and theres a bonus at the end of this round for 100 points. If you’re bad at logic, the best method is to take notes as you’re going along, which colours you can eliminate and which to keep. Since theres no clock timing you, you can take as long as you need and this will not affect your points. This same method applies for all stages.

By the end of the first stage, you will have 220 points.

Second Stage

In the second stage, you now have seven possible rune colours to choose from, yet still only twelve guesses. The new set of colours are as follows: White, Purple, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Red and our old friend Blank. If you didn’t have a specific tactic in the first round, from here on in logic is your best friend. The best method, alongside writing them down, is to eliminate each colour in a system.

You click the red button straight away, and however many reds / yellows / greens for the blank set make a note of this before switching to the next colour along, White. For example if you received one green light for Blanks, you’d keep one rune blank in your guess, and the other five as White. Perhaps this one will give you two green lights and one yellow – you now know your final combination will contain one Blank and two Whites. Repeat this until you’ve a set of five lights all green and yellow indicating you’ve established all of the runes, just not necessarily their position. It will have taken up a maximum of 7 of your 12 attempts. If you’re smart, you’ll have changed the position of the runes you’re certain of as you go along and made notes. In this case, you may not even need the last 5 guesses, it might only take 1 or 2.

By the end of the second stage, you should have 520 points.

Third Stage

The third and final stage is by far the most difficult, but if you’ve made it this far its nothing you can’t handle! By now the combination you’re trying to guess is six runes long, out of a possible 9 coloured runes. The colours are as follows: White, Purple, Pink, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and (you guessed it) Blank.

You’re going to have to use the trial and error method of eliminating each colour as you go along, but be careful this time, guessing all nine different runes will use up almost all of your guesses. Once you reach the end, unless by stroke of luck you find the combination early, you’ll only have 3 more guesses remaining. This means that more than ever you need to make this round count. Don’t be afraid to constantly change the position of the runes you know are in the solution. Approach this particular level calmly and logically and it should be no more complicated than the previous levels.

By the end of the final stage, you will have earned 1000 points, the maximum score and guaranteed yourself a trophy. Congratulations!

Neopets Clockwork Codebreaker Cheats

• The Neopets Community can be your best friend. After all you’re not timed, so theres no rush to finish the levels, especially not that last tricky level. Take a break, go ask a friend or your go-to forum for help, be that the Neopets boards, Reddit or TDN.
• Write down notes as you go along, or take screenshots if thats more convenient. If you’re stuck on the final level just points away from the trophy, glancing back can be a saviour.
• Contrary to popular belief, this game is not a random game. The codes generated are random, but how you apply the logic to Clockwork Codebreaker is not. It is easy to get the hang of it after a few trial runs.

Neopets Turdle Racing is a game located in Meridell, where you will be a turdle and where your main objective will be, of course, to win the race. Neopets Turdle Racing is similar to Poogle Racing. Unlike the other one, Neopets Turdle Racing does not give you an avatar, but it does not mean the game is not fun itself. It is one of the best thing to have reached the world of Neopia!

Gameplay

When visiting the Turdle Racing Kiosk, you will see a Starry Scorchio that will tell you the current time along with how much there is left for the end of the current Neopian day. He will also tell you the amount of bets you will be able to make during that specific day.

You should then be able to click on the “Go to Betting Page” that will get you back to the Turdle Racing Betting place. From there you will be able to place a bet, which cannot exceed 1,500 NP. This bet will have to be placed on the Turdle you will choose, and to make sure that this Turtle (the one you’ve placed your bet on) is ready, you can feed it with a food to give it a little boost.

Sometimes, the Starry Scorchio will give you hints by saying some information. For example, he can say that X Turdle is Fast. He can also say that X Turdle is sick. You should consider what he says, because most of the time it turns out to be true. However, it does not mean that the sick Turdle will not win and that the fast Turdle will take the race. It is simply to give you an idea about which one has more chance of winning and which doesn’t.

Know your Turdles

Below you will see a list of the five Turdles along with a short description of them and their chance of winning. Note that this list should give you an idea of which is more likely to take the race and which is not, but you should always listen to the Scarry Scorchio to see the hints he will provide. Turdle #4 and Turdle #5 will also have less chance of winning, but if you feel that they are champions for the current race, feel free to pick them.

1. The first Turdle is called Stinky and it is the fastest Turdle in the who race. Sometimes he will be behind the others, but you should not worry as he is known to make victories through the last second. It is actually the best Turdle with a win ratio of 1 win per 3 races.
2. The second Turdle, Poopy, is known to be a sort of jerk. He will try to use different types of strategies to win the race. His win ratio is 1 win per 4 races.
3. Smelly is the third Turdle, win/loss ratio based that is popular for his advantage of being dirty. For that reason, other Turdles will avoid him, meaning that he will be racing far away from them. His win ratio is 1 win every 5 races.
4. With a win ratio of once per 7 races, Squelchy is not really a Turdle we can count on because of the fact that he sticks to the ground from time to time. It is unknown if during that time he is taking a break or a rest, but he is for sure not someone we can count on.
5. Nutty, the last Turdle is a champion. However, he will run straight to the end of the race, before the finish line. Unfortunately, he will then have spent all of his energy and will fall asleep giving him a win rate of 1 per 9 races.

Bets

After successfully picking your Turdle, place a bet on it. The bet will not be able to exceed 1,500 NP. The more NP you spend, the greater your chance of winning or losing. There is a limit of 3 times a day to place a bet. You will be able to feed your Turdle something to eat, like an incentive so that it runs faster. If you are absolutely looking forward the victory, there are some pricier items for you to purchase. You will not be able to keep them after the race though, so choose wisely based on your economy.

Once you place your bet, you will see the racing sector where the racing will take place. There, you will see the Turdles running along with the one you have placed your bet on. You should not pay attention to how they are running, as sometimes they come up with surprises.

Neopets Turdle Racing Cheats

This game is all based about fun and luck, but you should always listen to the hints provided by the Starry Scorchio, simply because when he says something, he does really mean it. Finally, it is recommended that you do not place a bet on Turdle #4 and on Turdle #5 because of their lesser chance of winning. But, if you believe in them, go for it and place a bet on them. After all, who knows?

1. What is Food Club?

Food Club is a betting game that lets Neopets players wager Neopoints on the outcomes of pirate eating competitions held on Krawk Island. Players choose which pirates will win in different arenas, with the chance to win NP multipliers if their bets succeed. While it’s primarily a game of luck, smart players can increase their odds by following certain strategies.

---

2. How to Play Food Club

1. Select Arenas: There are five arenas with four pirates each. Each pirate has an assigned win probability, based on stats like weight and strength.
2. Place Bets: Players can place up to 10 bets daily, selecting pirates they believe will win in each arena.
3. Watch the Competition: Competitions are held once per day at a set time, and winners are declared based on a roll.
4. Collect Winnings: If your bets are successful, you’ll receive your Neopoint payout based on the odds.

---

3. How to Place a Bet

Step 1: Select a Bettor

Visit the Food Club boards in Help Chat or Games Chat to find popular bettors. Different bettors have varying risk levels, so choose one that suits your risk tolerance.

Step 2: Place Bets in the Correct Round

1. Check the Round Number – Ensure you’re betting in the current round.
2. Set Up the Bet Page – Use the “Place a Bet” page and cross-reference the bettor’s page to ensure your bets match the current round.

Step 3: Choose Your Bet Amount

Your bet cap depends on account age. Most bettors wager the maximum allowed for their account age, typically capped at 8,230 Neopoints per bet. A general rule is to lower your wager for high-odds bets to maximize the 1 million NP limit per win.

Example Calculation:
If a bet is 144:1, calculate your wager by dividing 1,000,000 by 144. This comes out to about 6,944 NPs, which means any amount over this would cap at 1 million.

Step 4: Place Each Bet

1. Select arenas and pirates according to the bettor’s page.
2. Enter your bet amount and place the bet.
3. Repeat this process for all ten allowed bets.

---

4. Food Club Cheats and Tips

While there are no guaranteed ways to win every time, some tactics can maximize your chance of success.

• Study Pirate Stats: Check each pirate’s win history to find out which ones tend to perform better. Pirates with high win rates and favorable odds are generally safer bets.
• Check Community Tips: Many Neopets forums have daily discussions on optimal Food Club bets, where users share insights on favorable outcomes.
• Track Results Daily: Tracking daily wins and losses of each pirate can help you predict patterns and adjust bets accordingly.
• Take Advantage of Safe Bets: Some pirates have consistently high odds, making them safer bets. Avoid putting your NP on high-risk pirates unless you’re willing to take the risk.

---

5. Recommended Bets: Safe Bets and Risky Bets

There are two main types of betting approaches: safe bets, which aim for smaller but more consistent winnings, and risky bets, which offer high payouts but come with a higher chance of loss.

Safe Bets

Safe bets often involve selecting pirates with high odds of winning, even if the payout isn’t enormous. Here are a few safe strategies:

• Stick to High-Stat Pirates: Choose pirates who have favorable stats and good win histories. Generally, selecting at least two pirates with high odds in each arena can increase your chances.
• Consistent Winners: Track pirates that perform well daily. Some top choices include Scurvy Dan the Blade and Ol’ Stripey, known for their consistency.
• Single Arena Bets: Choose one strong pirate per arena and place single bets. This approach lowers the payout but also reduces the risk.

Example:

Total Possible Winnings				2305200 NP

Risky Bets

If you’re feeling adventurous, these risky strategies can lead to high payouts:

• All-in on Long Shots: Place a high number of bets on lower-odds pirates. While risky, the payout can be enormous if they win.
• Mixing High- and Low-Odds Pirates: Choose a combination of high and low-odds pirates to create a range of payout possibilities.
• Bet on Underdogs with Good Stats: Pirates like Lucky McKyriggan can have decent stats and may surprise with a win, leading to big payouts for low-risk bets.

Example:

Round	Bet Info	Amount	Odds	Winnings

Total Possible Winnings				5019184 NP

6. Understanding the Odds and Multipliers

Knowing how odds and multipliers work is key to maximizing winnings:

• Odds: Each pirate has odds assigned to them (e.g., 2:1, 5:1). Higher odds indicate higher risk but better payouts if they win.
• Multipliers: The more bets you make in an arena, the more your payout multiplies. For example, winning in all five arenas with different pirates can yield massive payouts.

---

7. Tracking Winning Pirates

Certain pirates have high win rates over time. Keeping an eye on these winning pirates can help make safer bets. Below are some frequently winning pirates:

• Scurvy Dan the Blade: Known for reliable wins and good odds.
• Ol’ Stripey: A favorite choice for safe betting due to consistent wins.
• Sir Edmund Ogletree: Often wins but has high odds, making him suitable for both safe and risky betting.

Tip: Some players keep spreadsheets or follow guides on forums that detail the past performance of each pirate, giving them data to base their bets on.

---

8. Daily and Seasonal Food Club Patterns

While the outcome is random, some patterns seem to emerge based on daily events and seasonal trends:

• Daily Patterns: Track each day’s winners to identify streaks or patterns that may help predict future outcomes.
• Seasonal Trends: Holidays or Neopets events can sometimes influence pirate behavior. For instance, certain pirates might win more frequently around pirate-themed events.

---

9. Advanced Betting Strategies

Doubling Down

One popular strategy is doubling down. This approach involves placing multiple bets on the same pirate across different bets. If they win, you stand to gain a much higher payout.

Multi-Arena Combos

This strategy is riskier and involves betting on different pirates across multiple arenas with the hope that each arena yields a winner. This is also referred to as the “5-pirate bet.”

Last-Minute Bets

Wait until the last 10 minutes before closing to place bets. Many players share their final recommended bets on forums, and you can use their insights to finalize your choices.

Pooling Bets

Some players pool bets across multiple accounts or work together in groups to maximize the chances of winning across a broader range of bets.

---

10. Trophy Holds and Tracking Your Progress

What Are Trophy Holds?

Food Club trophies are awarded to those who earn the most winnings over eight rounds or less. Your Total Winnings on the Collect Winnings Page acts as your “score,” which, if high enough, could place you among the top players.

Tracking Your Weekly Progress
