Welcome to Kacheek and Seek, a delightful game where you’ll engage in a round of hide and seek with your active Neopet! This guide will help you navigate the various difficulty levels, earn Neopoints, and secure that valuable avatar.

Kacheek and Seek Game Overview

Objective:
Your main goal in Kacheek and Seek is to find your active Neopet hiding in various locations. The quicker you find them, the more Neopoints you’ll earn!

Kacheek Seek Gameplay Mechanics

1. Starting the Game:
   Begin by selecting your active Neopet, who will prompt you to play hide and seek.
2. Choosing Difficulty Levels:
   The game features four difficulty levels:
   • Easy Peasy: 5 hiding spots
   • Medium: 8 hiding spots
   • Hard: 10 hiding spots
   • Quite Hard: 15 hiding spots

   The higher the difficulty, the more Neopoints you can earn—up to 30 NP per game! However, keep in mind that the longer it takes you to find your Neopet, the fewer points you’ll receive.

3. Finding Your Neopet:
   As you search for your Neopet, use your mouse to hover and click on potential hiding spots. You can also navigate faster using the Tab key and Enter for selection, which is a more efficient way to find those hiding places.
4. Hints from Your Neopet:
   Your Neopet will provide hints like “Getting warmer!” or “No, getting colder…” to guide you as you search. Pay attention to these clues to improve your chances of finding them quickly.

Strategies for Success

1. Select Easy Peasy for Quick Finds:
   If your primary goal is to earn the avatar, stick to the Easy Peasy level. Fewer hiding spots mean a quicker find, reducing the chances of your Neopet getting bored and quitting the game.
2. Stay Aware of Time:
   Keep an eye on the clock! If you take too long, your Neopet will become bored and will no longer participate in hide and seek for the rest of the day.
3. Maximize Your Efficiency:
   Use the Tab key to cycle through hiding spots rapidly. This method can save valuable time and lead to a higher score.
4. Avoid Changing Active Pets:
   Once you start the game with a Neopet, you cannot switch to another one. Be mindful that your current Neopet may not want to play anymore if you take too long to find them.

Earning Neopoints

While Kacheek and Seek can yield up to 30 Neopoints per game, it’s not the most efficient way to earn NP. Many players find that once they have obtained the avatar, the game may not be worth the effort. However, it can be a fun diversion!

Kacheek and Seek Avatar

One of the main attractions of Kacheek and Seek is the avatar you can earn for your account. To obtain it, follow these steps:

• Complete a game successfully, ideally on Easy Peasy.
• Collect the avatar and add it to your collection.

This avatar is a great addition to your account, especially if you enjoy using avatars on the boards or increasing your avatar count for lending purposes.

Conclusion

Kacheek and Seek is a charming and straightforward game that offers a mix of fun and strategy. While it may not be the best way to earn Neopoints, the pursuit of the avatar can be enjoyable. So gather your Neopet, choose your difficulty level, and get ready for a playful game of hide and seek!

Neopets Yooyuball is a classic staple of the massively popular annual Altador Cup. Each year, teams from 18 different Neopian lands descend on the Colosseum to compete in a Yooyuball tournament and earn glory. On a personal level, winning a game of Yooyuball will land you prizes in the Cup, an avatar, a shiny trophy, a site theme, and of course, Neopoints! Take control of the team you’re supporting, and wipe the floor with the competition!

Yooyuball Instructions

Yooyuball is basically a game of soccer: your objective is to shoot the adorable petpet past your opponent’s goalkeeper and into their goal as many times as possible. You also have to defend your own goal from the other team’s attacks. Once the three minute game has finished, the team with the most goals wins!

At the beginning of each Cup, you will choose the team you wish to support. Your options are:

1. Team Altador
2. Team Brightvale
3. Team Darigan Citadel
4. Team Faerieland
5. Team Haunted Woods
6. Team Kiko Lake
7. Team Krawk Island
8. Team Kerludor
9. Team Lost Desert
10. Team Maraqua
11. Team Meridell
12. Team Moltara
13. Team Mystery Island
14. Team Roo Island
15. Team Shenkuu
16. Team Terror Mountain
17. Team Tyrannia
18. Team Virtupets

The team you choose at the beginning of the tournament is the one you will take control of in every game of Yooyuball for the rest of the competition. Your opponent will change as the cup progresses, but the objective always remains the same: score more goals than the other team! When the Altador Cup isn’t in session, you can still play Yooyuball against the practice team (Jelly Land) for Neopoints. Your rival is always played by the computer.

Users are given the option to control their players using either the mouse or keyboard – we recommend picking the mouse, but it all comes down to personal preference. Try out the two control schemes and choose the one that works best for you.

At any one time, you control the player that is highlighted with a glowing circle. You can move your players with either the arrow keys or your mouse’s cursor. Players will automatically pick up a vacant Yooyuball when they touch it. If your opponent is in possession of the ball, you can press the spacebar or left click when in close proximity to them to dash and tackle them. If you’re in possession of the Yooyuball, hold down the spacebar or left mouse button to charge up your shot, and release it to sling the ball.

Should the rival team manage to get past your defenders, press the V key (it’s the same no matter what control scheme you use) to take control of the goal keeper, and move the player about to stop the Yooyu from entering your net!

Before the start of every game of Yooyuball, you’ll also have to choose your formation. There are three different options, and different ones are suited to different playing mentalities. The 3:1 formation (three defenders, one attacker) is suited to a defensive philosophy, 2:2 will give you a balanced team, and 1:3 is essentially an all out attack. Like the control schemes, your formation is all down to personal preference, so play around until you settle on the set-up that you’re most comfortable playing with. During the game, if your players become too scattered or clump up together, press the shift key to get them back in formation.

So far, so simple. However, this is Neopets, and there will always be a little twist! It’s time to learn about the seven (that’s right, seven!) different Yooyus you can play with.

Yooyuball Yooyus

At the beginning of every game, and after each goal is scored, a new Yooyu enters the pitch for the players to play with. Each Yooyuball has their own special abilities that you need to be aware of when slinging them.

It can take a little while to get used to some of the Yooyu’s effects (particularly the Faerie and Darigan Yooyus, and by extension the Mutant one too), but after a few games you should become fairly confident with slinging all of them around the pitch.

Yooyuball Power-Ups

To sway the odds in your favor, you can pick up one of four power-ups that randomly appear on the field and gain some special abilities. Each power-up lasts a maximum of 15 seconds, but will also expire if a goal is scored by either team. All four power-ups give you a massive advantage, and nearly always guarantee you a goal. The available power-ups are as follows:

Goal Enlarger

Makes your opponent’s goal wider, making it easier to sling the Yooyuball past their keeper.

Wing

Makes your team temporarily faster, allowing you to outrun your rivals.

Ice

Freezes all of your opponents to the spot they stand in when activated.

Glove

Gives you a more powerful throw, and makes you temporarily immune to dash tackles.

Yooyuball Cheats

Sadly, there are no passcodes or specific cheats you can use to land yourself a victory. However, there are plenty of strategies you can follow to bag more goals!

• You don’t need to use power-ups as soon as they appear. Save them until later on in a play, as the rival team will become steadily more aggressive. After a particularly long run of play, a power-up may be required to regain the upper hand.
• Since you need to play so many games of Yooyuball to increase your prize points, it can quickly become repetitive. The best way to reduce the amount of time spent playing the game is scoring goals! Every time a goal is scored, eight seconds are taken off the clock.
• At the start of each new round, let your opponent grab the ball first, then quickly dash tackle it away from them. Not only will this save you time, it will usually leave you one-on-one with the keeper.
• Run straight towards your opponent’s goal. When you’re half-way between the center and their goal, shimmy down slightly so their keeper isn’t blocking your path, and shoot with full power.
• Aim for the center of the goal with the Faerie Yooyu, as it will typically curve around their keeper.
• The Dargian Yooyu is volatile and unpredictable, so just focus on keeping it near your opponent’s goal, and it will end up in the back of the net one way or another.

Good luck on the field!

Neopets Zurroball is a game of gravity and ferocious clicking, where you must keep a ball in the air for as long as possible. Zurroball is an unforgiving game which is notoriously difficult to master, but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s a whole lot of fun! What’s more, with a bit of practice Zurroball’s trophies are fairly easy to obtain when compared to other flash games.

Zurroball Instructions

In each game of Zurroball, you have to stop your chosen ball from hitting the ground by clicking on it as gravity takes its hold and it descends. Every time you play, you are given three attempts to get the highest score possible. Once you’ve used all three lives, the game is over. To build your score quickly, you can pull off a series of tricks to earn extra points. Tricks are an essential part of the game if you want to be earning a healthy amount of Neopoints!

Zurroball Balls

There are a total of six different balls you can play with, and each has unique qualities that changes how the ball behaves. There are three different attributes that each ball possesses, they are: size, weight, and speed. The size of the ball determines how easy it is to click on it as it falls (the smaller the size, the more difficult it is to click accurately). Meanwhile, the weight of the ball determines how it reacts to gravity. A heavy ball will not rise as high as a light ball when it’s clicked. Speed is fairly self-explanatory: faster balls whizz around the screen, while slower balls are easier to keep track of.

The default option is the Zurroball, a brown meteor which is big, heavy and slow. It’s a great ball to start out with and get to grips with the game, but its speed means it takes longer to rack up a high score.

As well as the Zurroball, there are five experimental balls you can choose to play with. The snot ball behaves a lot like the Zurroball, but it’s smaller and therefore harder to click on and keep in play. The metal ball hits a nice middle ground between the size of the first two options, and its incredibly slow speed makes it very easy to keep track of – but difficult to score points with quickly.

The energy ball is probably the most difficult to play with, as it’s the smallest in size, very lightweight and zips around at great speeds. The eye ball is similar in speed and weight to the energy ball, but its slightly bigger size typically makes it easier to play with.

Finally, there’s the Grundo Ball – a hidden option that you won’t find on the list of the title screen. To be able to play with the Grundo Ball, click on the blue “N” badge on the Grundo’s space suit. This option strikes a great balance between the size of the Zurroball, and the light, speedy nature of the energy ball. It’s a great option to use if you’re still getting used to the game, but want to be able to string together plenty of tricks quickly.

There are pros and cons to each ball, so spend a few games experimenting with each of them until you find one that suits you best.

Zurroball Tricks

There are four different tricks you can pull off to maximize your points total. Some of them are more difficult to perform than others, and award more points accordingly.

The Right Zurro will earn you 3 points, and is achieved by bouncing your Zurroball off the right wall.

The Left Zurro is a lot like the Right Zurro, except guess what? You earn your 3 points by bouncing the Zurroball off the left wall instead.

You can perform a Boomerang by bouncing the Zurroball off one wall, before clicking on it once to make it bounce off the opposite wall. This will earn you 5 points.

If you can get the Zurroball to bounce off both walls WITHOUT clicking on it in between, you will earn 10 points for pulling off an Around the World.

Finally, a Grounder can be achieved by clicking on the ball to bounce it just as it’s about to hit the ground. This will also bag you 10 points.

In order for points from your bounces (and tricks) to count, the Zurroball must cross the threshold, indicated by two red lines at the top of the screen. If the ball doesn’t cross this threshold before it hits the floor, you won’t earn any points earned since it last hit it.

Zurroball Cheats

In order to earn a lot of points without putting in too much effort, follow these tips and tricks and you should do just fine:

• Always play the game in full screen mode. This will make everything (and crucially, the Zurroball) much bigger, but your cursor will stay the same size, making it easier to land a bounce.
• If you get your cursor perfectly lined up with the center of the Zurroball, it will bounce straight. This way, you don’t have to worry about moving your mouse around, and you can just focus on timing your clicks to land lots of bounces!
• At the bottom of the screen is an open hatch with a grey border. If you keep your mouse in line with the ball’s center, and just above the lowest point of this border, you can land plenty of Grounders and string lots of tricks together!

Neopets Bilge Dice can be a frustrating game, because it’s almost entirely based on luck! In fact, most Neopians only play Bilge Dice to try and get the two avatars you can win from it: ‘Bilge Dice’ and ‘Bilge Dice – Lucky Streak!’. Despite its unpredictable nature, Bilge Dice is a relatively easy game to understand, and once you know the nuances of playing you can maximize your chances of landing those elusive avatars – as well as making Neopoints!

Bilge Dice – Instructions

At the beginning of each round of Bilge Dice, you must select your ante (the amount of NP you wish to bet). When you first begin, you’ll be limited to 10 NP or 50 NP. The more Neopoints you bet, the more you’ll receive if you win. If, like many, you’re only playing to try and get the avatars, you should bet as little as possible, or else your total investment will stack up surprisingly quickly.

Once you’ve placed your stake, you’ll be taken to the game screen, where you’ll be presented with six die. During each game, you have to compete with your opponents Monty, Grimtooth, and Deadeye to achieve the highest score possible. Your score is the total value of your four die. That’s right, four. In order to qualify for each game, you also have to keep a dice with the value of 1, and another with the value of 4. Neither of these count towards your score’s total, but are required to have your score counted. If you don’t finish the game with those two qualifying numbers, you can’t play.

In each round, you have to select a minimum of one die to keep before you can re-roll the remaining ones. You can choose to keep more than one die in any one round, but you must select at least one. Once you’ve selected the die you’re keeping, all those that are left will be rolled again and a new round will begin. When you have ‘kept’ all six of your die, the scores are added up and a winner is declared. The winner is the player with both qualifying die who has the highest total score.

If you’re aiming to get the ‘Bilge Dice’ avatar, you need to achieve a perfect score of 24. That’s the two qualifying die, plus four different die with a value of 6. The avatar is awarded randomly when you manage this.

Bilge Dice Cheats

Unfortunately, there aren’t any cheats or surefire ways to win a game of Bilge Dice. However, there are a few tips you can follow to maximize your chances of winning.

• Don’t just focus on getting a perfect score – the qualifying die are the most important part of the game. It doesn’t matter if you manage to keep four 6s if you don’t qualify! Always aim to secure a 1 or a 4 as early as possible.
• Of course, sometimes luck just isn’t on your side and you don’t roll either of the qualifying die in the first round. If this happens, keep the highest value die you have rolled. So if you roll 2, 2, 5, 2, 3, 5, keep one of the 5s and re-roll the other die.
• Don’t worry if you only get one 6 in the whole game, it’s still very possible that you will win, as long as you achieve a higher total than your opponents.
• Pay attention to your opponents’ hands, and adjust your strategy accordingly. For example, if the others are keeping lots of 2s, you can win the round with a string of 4s. If you already have your qualifying die, it’s better to win the game with a middling hand than keep rolling in the hopes of a perfect round – only to end up with a bunch of 1s.

Bilge Dice – Winnings and Ante Thresholds

Each player bets the same ante in every game, and the winner claims everyone’s stakes – so you quadruple your Neopoints if you win. For example, if you bet 10 NP and win, you’ll get a total of 40 NP back. A winning game with a 50 NP ante will return 200 NP. If you’re lucky enough, you will randomly be awarded a bonus 1000 NP when you collect your winnings. However, this is just as rare at the ‘Bilge Dice’ avatar, so don’t hold out hope for it.

It’s fair to say that Bilge Dice is a relatively low-earner in comparison to other revenue streams, but as you win more games, more ante amounts become available to you. When you first start playing, you’ll be able to stake the default 10 NP or 50 NP bets, but you can unlock other options by doing the following:

• 100 NP Ante (400 NP winnings): Win ten games of Bilge Dice
• 200 NP Ante (800 NP winnings): Win four games of Bilge Dice in a row
• 500 NP Ante (2,000 NP winnings): Win fifty games of Bilge Dice
• 1,000 NP Ante (4,000 NP winnings): Win one hundred and fifty games of Bilge Dice

These wins aren’t time sensitive, so you can win seven games in January and another three in August, and you’ll still unlock the 100 NP ante.

Winning 4,000 NP per game is a much more attractive proposition than 200 NP, isn’t it? Well, unfortunately, even when you bet the highest ante amount you still won’t be banking too many Neopoints from Bilge Dice, as you’re capped at 5,000 NP winnings per day. You can carry on playing once you’ve reached this limit, but you’ll be losing the money you stake each game. There is one way to circumvent this cap though: you’ll still receive all your winnings until you hit that point. For example, if you’ve won two 500 NP ante games and one 200 NP game (giving you a total of 4,800 NP in winnings), you can still earn 4,000 NP from a 1,000 NP ante game. This method would give you 8,800 NP in winnings – taking you comfortably past that threshold.

Bilge Dice Avatar

As mentioned above, the Bilge Dice avatar is awarded randomly when you win a game with a perfect score (1 and 4 to qualify, then 6, 6, 6, and 6). To get the perfect score, focus on the qualifying die first. If you roll 2, 6, 6, 3, 6, 6, don’t keep all of the 6s, because this is going to require you to roll one of the qualifying numbers in the next round, and the other in the final round. Should you receive a hand like this, keep one or two of the 6s and re-roll until you have both 1 and 4. It can be disheartening to abandon a perfect score, but not as disheartening as it is to achieve the elusive 24 but not even qualify!

Instead, focus on getting the Bilge Dice – Lucky Streak! avatar. You can achieve this avatar by winning ten games in a row – and all in the same calendar month. Yes, you read that correctly! This avatar is incredibly difficult to obtain, and requires a massive amount of luck. But if you focus on getting that ten win streak, you’re sure to pick up plenty of perfect scores along the way. Always aim to qualify, and once you have get the highest score you can. You’ll land both avatars eventually!

Bilge Dice Trophy

Unlike most games on Neopets, Bilge Dice awards two sets of trophies! The first set are awarded to the players with the highest win streak, the other ones are given to those with the highest amount of earnings from the game. To give you the greatest chance of winning the second set, aim for 8,880 NP in winnings a day (one game with a 1,000 NP ante, then two games with a 10 NP ante, before a final 1,000 NP ante – or any other combination).

Good luck – you’re going to need lots of it!
