Neopets Mystery Pic

Neopets’ Mystery Pic game is a contest of memories long past, extreme focus, and pure angst towards everything in Neopia. However, we here promise you that it is NOT impossible, though sadly quite tedious. With some gained knowledge, learned speed, and much needed perseverance, we can help make the Neopets Mystery Pic game a little less scary, a tad more attainable for the average player, and perhaps get you and many others one of the most coveted trophies in all of Neopia.

Basics

First off, what is the Mystery Pic game? Twice each week, the Neopets Team will release a zoomed in 150×150 image of something that exists within the Neopets game. This will typically be on a Wednesday and Friday. This can be virtually anything, anywhere, or anyone. However, it’s near impossible at this point to guess just from zoomed in pixels. In fact, it can be quite off putting. Never fear, dear player. Using your preferred image manipulation program, adjust the dimensions to a 12×12. This removes the blurry pixel view, clears our image up, but, as you can see, it’s quite tiny. The 12×12 adjustment is just the typical go to, but, feel free to play around with it. See what works for you, but keep those numbers identical, otherwise it might get a bit too distorted. If that happens, don’t worry your little head. Just adjust back to the base of 150×150, and try again!

How to Answer

If, at this point, you can safely determine what this image is, it’s time to submit your answer. Humans do not screen answers, though. Rather, a computer will detect keywords from answers submitted by players, and select those as close to the answer as winners of the contest. You don’t have to be exact, but if you can guarantee your answer, type in the exact answer as shown. However, if you do not know the exact word, be vague. This helps the computer detect your answer more clearly, and increase your chances of being flagged as a winner! Just list the bare minimum. You’ll do just fine! For example, if the pixels are taken from a Blumaroo Steak, type in “blumaroo steak,” without the quotation marks. There’s no need to be specific about where the Blumaroo Steak is from, vague is key!

screenshot_fullsize_105_1_v1.png

The Search

However, if you’re like the general population, and that’s perfectly okay, you probably can’t determine the answer from this point. If that’s the case, it’s time for the toughest part, the search. There’s nothing particularly difficult, by comparing the pixels to other images, but it will more than likely be a long and tedious process. A Neopets image database such as Dr. Sloth’s Image Emporium would be best. Be sure to put on your logical person hat on. Look at color patterns. Where would you most likely see this color? Does this small area ring a slight bell in the back of your mind? Be precise in your searching, and be prepared to dedicate some time to this. Again, this will probably take you many times before you find anything remotely resembling something that could be a potential answer. This is normal, and speaks nothing about your abilities in this contest, or lack there of.

246_faerie_distress.gif

Payout

Of course, once this is all done, what’s even in it for you? Hours of grueling research, comparing image after image, without even a snack break! Worry not, dear player, for even though this contest is almost impossible, the prizes are well worth it. If you are one of the first 250 people to submit a correct answer, congratulations, dear player! You win not only a bronze trophy, but an item exclusive to the contest itself. If you’re one of the first 50 people to submit an answer, you get the item, but also a silver trophy! If you’re one of those first 10 fabled submitters that are correct, an item and a golden trophy for you! But that’s not all! Even if you’re not quick enough to determine, you aren’t without compensation. Everyone who shares a correct answer gets a piece of the 2,000,000 Neopoint pool. Remember, it benefits you to NOT tell anyone the answer! You don’t want to shrink your prize chances or payout, do you?

Neopets Mystery Pic Cheats

Don’t we all wish there was a magical cheat to get that answer easily and quickly? Alas, there’s no legit way to do as such. It’s best you just put the time and effort in, and learn to GIT GOOD. There’s no instant solution, but that’s what makes this contest so satisfying once you finally and successfully complete this game.

Good luck, dear player!

Neopets Let it Slide

Neopets Let it Slide is one of the many platform scrolling games the Arcade has to offer. Platform scrolling games have been a staple of the video game world. With the introduction of Space Panic in 1980, but popularized by games such as Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s no surprise that Neopets Let it Slide is one that falls under this popular genre.

970-7143594

Basics

Your goal is to control the Snuffy to get through the Ice Cave. Your controls are left and right arrows to maneuverer, and the up arrow to hop. For an extra spring to that hop, simply hold down the up arrow. There are only three levels, and with three lives, it seems easy enough, right? Alas, this game has the infamy of being one of the more difficult games on Neopets, however, you can be the judge of that, can’t you dear player?

Basic controls aside, let’s get into the details of the game. Terror Mountain is known for their icebergs, and I suppose their floating ice platforms. Some have even said they haven’t been touched in eons. That said, when your Snuffy hops upon an iceberg, be careful! They will sink underneath your paws. It cannot support your weight for long periods of time. If you hop upon an ice platform, your paws will sink right through if you aren’t quick enough. They will melt within a short period of time, so make those hops count! Speaking of ice, keep that terrain in mind. You will slide to a stop if you cease to move, be sure to keep the surroundings in mind.

lg_letitslide-3916345

Points in the game are gained by accumulating green diamond-like gems, which are worth ten points apiece. While the Snuffy starts out with three lives, additional lives in the form of hearts will be found on each level. For each heart found, an additional 50 points will be given. This is a game of speed, for when you finish, any remaining seconds remaining on the timer will be converted into points, with one point to one second. For those playing for the elusive Neopoint, there is a 2.42 point to 1 Neopoint ratio in distribution, with a score of 2420 giving a reward of 1000 Neopoints. And, for those wanting to boost that avatar score, keep stepping. This game awards no such thing.

Gabars

So, it seems easy enough, right? Just avoiding melting ice, the sinking icebergs, and the sliding about! INCORRECT. There was one tiny thing we forgot to mention. Your Snuffy isn’t alone in this journey. Little petpets, called Gabars, will be seen about your adventure. They are NOT your friends. Rather, armed with snowballs, they want nothing more than to keep you out of the Ice Caves, and probably out of Terror Mountain all together. This is strange, according to our NeoPedia, Gabars adore cuddling and playing with everyone! However, we mustn’t question what’s going on in the game. There is no way to disarm, or disable these little creatures. Do not hop on them on any circumstance. Avoid them at all costs, and dodge those snowballs! They can walk, run, or even fly.

Of course, what is a game without a boss? The Boss Gabar will show up later in the game, and this spunky little fella is about twice the size of a normal one. He will hop up and down, simply time the hop, and run under him. He won’t chase after you, it’s really anticlimactic, just run and never look back!

 

Environmental Obstacles

Gabars aren’t the only way to lose lives, sadly. We spoke earlier about the floating platforms and icebergs, however, what happens if you aren’t careful enough and manage to melt through or sink?

Water is not a Snuffy’s friend. Being in the water for even a second will result in the loss of a life. Be sure to time your iceberg jumps accordingly, you do not want to end up in the water. In addition, be sure to look before you leap, or slide for that matter! With many ice ramps for sliding, it’s crucial to watch what’s underneath your feet. However, water won’t be seen until level 2, which is good for you! Use level 1 to get acclimated to the game, and to conserve your lives, as well as getting all the gems you can.

caption_882-5998761

Level 3 introduces the mighty stalagmites. Do not run into them, do not land on them. You will lose a life. However, they’re stationary, and pretty easy to hop over. Your true main concern with these little guys are sliding into them. Just be sure to remain in control of your Snuffy at all given times.

 

Benefits

You might be wondering at this point, “Do I have to worry about getting run over by a boulder?” No, but boulders are a part of the game! Simply hop onto a boulder, and let gravity do its work. If gravity needs a boost, simply walk backwards on the boulder to propel the boulder forward. It’ll take a bit of balance, but we have all of the confidence that your Snuffy will do just fine.

Geysers also have an appearance in the game, and in your favor! Simply walk over a geyser, and before you know it, it’ll give you a helpful boost into the air. Use this wisely to get to places that have more gems, or to advance closer to those Ice Caves. Hold down that up arrow for an even larger boost.

It is Neopia, afterall. What would a game be without a handy dandy propeller hat? Not a finished one, I assure you. Simply walk over to one if seen, and prepare to be introduced to the magical world of gliding and flight. Jumps are more controlled with this feature, and helps enable the Snuffy to reach additional gems, but also to avoid pesky Gabars and bodies of water. Use them smartly!

Cheats, Tips, Final Words

All in all, with some time and effort put in, this game can be a lot of fun to play. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even get a trophy if you really get the hang of it. As a kind parting gift before you head into the the freezing land called Terror Mountain, have a helping hand. Type in the word “stalactites” during the game to gain an additional life, and to gain an additional 50 points if that life isn’t lost.

Good luck, dear player!

Neopets Hannah and the Pirate Caves

Hannah and the Pirate Caves is a puzzle and action game, in which you will play as Hannah, a brave Usul girl who is always on the lookout for action and adventure. One day, Hannah reads a book about mystic caves built by ancient pirates. She just so happens to stumble across these caves, beginning Hannah’s great adventure of Hannah and the Pirate Caves on Krawk Island!

c-349-8178736

Hannah and the Pirate Caves Controls

The controls in Hannah and the Pirate Caves are very similar to those of many other games on Neopets. You will use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to control Hannah. To make Hannah look up, you use the up arrow key. To make Hannah jump, you simply press the space bar. Occasionally, you will come across a space that will be too small for Hannah to walk through, when this happens you can make her crouch by pressing the down key. Occasionally you will come across a passage that will be too narrow for Hannah to walk through (that’s when you will need to use the down key). Also, once in a while you will encounter a wooden platform that you will need to jump through. Just remember: space bar, right, left, up, down. That’s how you will maneuver Hannah around.

666_lowjump2-1073203

Hannah and the Pirate Caves Game Play

Now to begin on the different aspects of game play. One of the most commonly encountered being the wooden crates. These wooden crates can be easily bashed by either jumping or walking on them. However, metal crates cannot be bashed. In each level, there will be treasure chests that Hannah must collect. You may not pass onto the next level until all of the treasure chests in that level have been collected.
If you are thinking “So far, this game sounds like a breeze!”. you are wrong! In each level there are dangerous arrows, some even loaded onto the crates. These arrows will kill you. When these crates are broken, the box containing the arrow in it will fire. In some of the more difficult levels, the arrows will be shot at Hannah. They can, however destroy and break open the metal crates, so there is one decent use for them!
Some of these crates may also be loaded with dynamite which, if fired at you, will kill you. However, dynamite can also destroy the metal crates. If a crate containing dynamite is hit on the left, it will fly to the right, and vise versa. It is also possible that you may encounter dynamite that is in a metal crate, which means you cannot break the crate. When this occurs, only an arrow will be able to break it. Be warned, explosions caused by other dynamite if nearby can set off a chain reaction!

666_squeezejump-2664101
Another component in Hannah and the Pirate Caves is boulders. They can block your way, but if you have enough room, Hannah can push these boulders along. Be careful not to put two boulders together (in a row/column) then they will be unable to be pushed. If a boulder falls upon a wooden platform, it will smash. Beware of falling boulders, for they will kill you. If a boulder is pushed onto a spike, then it will smash the spike. Hannah and the Pirate Caves is a mind puzzle, so arrows, boulders, and other things may also set off traps!

In some levels, there are also pools of water. But not to worry, Hannah can swim! However, your time in the water is limited due to Hannah needing to hold her breath. At the bottom, left side of the screen will appear a row of bubbles. These bubbles represent how much air Hannah has left and if they run out, Hannah will die.

So now that Hannah has escaped the arrows, crates and dynamite, all that is left to do is find those gems! Be sure to keep an eye out for green gems, they add an additional 5,000 points to your score!

This is just the beginning! Enjoy the adventure!

Neopets Techo Says

Neopets Techo says is a medium rated game that was the first one to be ever created by Neopets. This game was then discarded in the Game Graveyard and it had the tag of the gameid #1. Three years later, it was restored and brought back to the game as #1000. TNT has then decided to never update it or add any new contents to it for the simple reason of respecting its original art. This game will require a lot of memorizing and it grants you a pretty fair amount of neopoints, though. If you play it for a trophy or even for for neopoints, it is a good game for both. Neopets Techo says is also a good game for those who want to boost their brain memorization process. This game is an easy 3k NP a day and it can be done daily.

caption_913-1432019Game Controls

This game doesn’t require you to be a genius or anything of the same kind. Your main objective, during the game, is to watch the pet that will pop up from the hiding table every new round and you will have to memorize the order they used to pop up. In other words, you will have to recall the exact sequence when each pet start to appear (pop-up) and once they finish, it will be your turn to click on them in order. In the game, there is a total of ten different levels and the more they raise, the harder they become. A total of ten levels which of which each one will contain five rounds. A total of 275 rounds are found in the game and it is quite a lot! 275 rounds will have you memorizing like a machine. The pattern is the order that the pets on the table will pop up. Be prepared to repeat the order exactly as showed. You only have one chance and if you miss, you will lose the game, meaning you will have to start over. Each round will add one more pet that you will have to “remember”. At the very end, you will learn a new way to avoid remembering the order. Round one has one pet, round two has two pets, round three has three pets, round 60 has 60 pets to memorize and so on. You will notice more distractions in the background the further you progress in the game. You should really not pay close attention to them and if you prefer, you can even mute the sound if it distracts you.

Some Information

You may already know that Techo Says is probably one of the most boring games out there, even if it is one of the funniest at the same time. The game itself is pretty much simple and that is the main reason that will make you so bored. New players are really considered to try and play this game because it is very simple. It will introduce yourself to the game pretty quickly. Also, for the newer player, it may sound almost impossible to achieve high scores to get certain trophies. This game is an almost guaranteed win and you will know why in the Neopets Techo Says Cheats section. You will literally be able to win all of the levels by using little effort. You will not even have to memorize anything at all.

There is actually a way to minimize (by a lot) your chances of losing at this game. It is a really useful method that is quite simple to do and will almost guarantee your success in it. Basically, you will have to take a piece of paper and a pen. If you prefer the computer method, launch microsoft word, notepad or any other program that is for editing of your choice. Look at the picture in the game and give a number of each case lot along with each pet. Games are all different. If you would like to use this method, you will have to start from the beginning. Here are the instructions. Lets say the first pet that pops up is a Poogle, you will have to write the number that corresponds with the pet itself. For example, if there is a series where the next 5 pets that will pop up are Blumaroo, Quiggle, Moehog, Moehog, Moehog, you will write or type 4, 1, 6,6,6. The numbers to correspond with the image you’ll have to click correspond to the sequence without memorizing. Yes, at first we said that this game will need a lot of memorizing, but this strategy is the best thing ever. You will achieve super high scores with simply little to no work at all. All you will have to do when the rounds will start progressing faster is to remember the last pet and since you have everything already typed down, it will be very easy. So far, this method is the one that gave everyone the most success and it is what will let you win. Because even if you’re the best human in the world when it comes to memorizing, it is possible to fail. This is why this method is the best one. Even for those who can not, does not want to memorize, they can perfectly achieve, practically, the score they desire.

ctp_1000-3110169Finally, as described above, if you’re really interested in getting a shiny golden, silver or bronze trophy, you can use the mentioned method to get there. Keep this tip as a secret and if you have friends playing that also play Neopets, you can send them a game challenge, win easily and start laughing out loud (of course, do not tell them that you’re laughing because they are such “unskilled” players because your account can get frozen for it). Just keep it to yourself.

1_3-17375521_2-66194611_1-4829432 The trophies right there are the old trophies and also the first “flash games” trophies to have ever been created. They are no longer obtainable.

Neopets Test Your Strength

Neopets Test Your Strength is one of the rigged game that is located at the Haunted Woods. The game is totally random and completely based on luck. Some people always point out how unlucky they are and some even don’t approach luck games because of that. Know that no one is luckier than another and you have the exact same luck as winning as any other person. Your objective is to get there, and play. Well, it is not really a “game” it is based on one click. Obviously, since it is based on pure luck, you will never know for real how strong you’re really are. Whenever you want to try your luck, go see Arnold, the owner of the Neopets Test Your Strength game and pay him with 100 Neopoints. To do so, click on the Click To Start! button and click on the red button. Where you click doesn’t matter. When you aim and click, you will see your final result. If you’re terribly in the need of “playing” this game, the good news are that it is playable every 6 hours, meaning a total of 4 times a day (of 24 hours).

How to Play Test Your Strength

In Test Your Strength, you pay 100 Neopoints per turn. Once paid, you can pull the hammer back and release it, hoping to hit the target with just the right amount of force to ring the bell at the top.

  1. Click the Hammer Button
    After paying the fee, click to grab the hammer. Aim to hit with full strength for the best rewards.
  2. Watch the Gauge Carefully
    The power gauge will fluctuate. To score high, aim to release at the highest point. However, this gauge moves fast, and it can take several tries to master the timing.
  3. Receive Your Prize
    Depending on your score, you’ll receive a prize. While many rewards are common, hitting high scores occasionally yields rare or valuable items.

Tips and Tricks for Winning at Test Your Strength

Winning at Test Your Strength isn’t easy, but these tips can help increase your chances:

1. Focus on Timing

The biggest key to success is releasing the hammer at the exact right time. Practice watching the power gauge until you can release it when the bar is at its highest point.

2. Set a Budget for Neopoints

Playing Test Your Strength can quickly eat through your Neopoints if you’re not careful. Decide in advance how much you’re willing to spend and stop once you’ve reached that limit.

3. Play Consistently

Like many Neopian games of chance, frequent play can improve your odds over time. The more you play, the more familiar you’ll get with the timing of the power gauge.

4. Visit During Off-Peak Hours

Playing when fewer users are online (such as during the early morning hours in Neopian Standard Time) can sometimes increase your odds, though this may vary by player experience.

Prizes

The prizes you will be awarded with are mostly spooky-themed items. Some are cheap and popular while others are exclusive to the game. You can get some pretty rare items like the Mummified Negg and the Halloween Paint Brush. Most of the time, you will get a small amount of Neopoints or cheap spooky items (costing 1-100 nps). The jackpot was once glitched and wasn’t possible but it was then fixed, meaning you can get as much as 1,000,000 Neopoints. Again, chances for this to happen are very slim but you will have to play it, daily, because who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky and become an instant-millionnaire. Sometimes dreams do come true.

Strategies for Consistent Wins

While Test Your Strength is ultimately a game of chance, a few strategies can help improve your consistency and give you an edge:

Strategy 1: Record Your Timing

Many experienced players record the timing of the power gauge for multiple rounds. Tracking your release points can reveal patterns or increase your awareness of your most successful timing points.

Strategy 2: Practice Patience

Sometimes, Test Your Strength may take dozens of tries to yield a significant prize. Set realistic expectations, and consider each win a small victory toward your goal of scoring a rare item.

Strategy 3: Combine with Other Fairground Games

Since the Test Your Strength game is located in the Deserted Fairground, consider combining your visit with other games like Bagatelle or Cork Gun Gallery. This way, you can rotate between games to keep your experience varied and potentially increase your winnings overall.
