Welcome to the enchanting world of Sakhmet Solitaire, the Neopian rendition of the timeless and beloved Klondike solitaire game. While it might seem a bit perplexing at first, fear not! We’re here to guide you through the intricacies of the game and help you become a Solitaire champion. Let’s delve into the magical realm of Neopets Solitaire together! 😊

How to Play Neopets Solitaire

Upon starting the game, you’ll be presented with the option to set your draw pile to draw either 1 or 3 cards at a time. Choosing to draw 1 card means you’ll go through the pile once, drawing each card individually. Opting for 3 cards allows you to go through the draw pile 3 times, with two cards hidden for each one drawn. Most players, especially beginners, tend to draw 3 cards for a more relaxed experience.

The initial setup involves dealing 28 cards on the playing area: 1 card in the first column, 2 in the next, and so forth, until the last column has 7 cards. One card at the bottom of each column is face up, while the others are face down. Here are the key moves to remember:

• Moving Cards: Cards must alternate color within the playing area (red, black, red, black, or vice versa). The Ace piles are stacked in numerical order by suit.
• Empty Columns: Only fill empty columns with a King.
• Pile Moves: You can move whole piles of cards at once. Click on the card up to which you’d like to pick up the pile and click on the card you’d like to place them on.

The ultimate goal is to get all cards into their respective Ace piles, from Ace up to King. Once achieved, you emerge victorious! Remember, it’s more challenging than it sounds, and a bit of luck always helps.

Scoring in Neopets Solitaire

Understanding the scoring system is crucial for aspiring Solitaire champions. You earn points for every card placed in the Ace piles:

• Ace: 20 points
• 2 to Queen: 10 points each
• King: A whopping 85 points

Your High Score is cumulative, representing the total of your scores from every game played throughout the month. Neopoints are awarded only for the first 5,000 points each day, but you can continue playing for no Neopoints to add to your high score.

Trophies and Achievements

Neopets Solitaire offers trophies to commemorate your achievements. Apart from cumulative high score trophies, you can earn additional trophies:

• Bronze Trophy: Win two games
• Silver Trophy: Win five games
• Gold Trophy: Achieve two consecutive wins (a challenging feat)

Luck plays a significant role in this game, so playing frequently increases your chances of securing a trophy. If you aim for the highest cumulative score trophy, be prepared to invest a substantial amount of time playing.

Prizes and Exclusive Rewards

Occasionally, winning a game may also bring you prizes. While these items may not hold high market value, there’s an exclusive reward—the Solitaire Champion t-shirt. Showcase your Solitaire prowess with this unique item that sets you apart in the Neopian world.

In conclusion, Neopets Solitaire is not just a game; it’s a journey into the realm of strategy, luck, and determination. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a novice, embrace the challenge, hone your skills, and aim for Solitaire glory in the vibrant world of Neopia!

Faerie’s Hope, formerly known as Neopia Studio, is a delightful mobile app accessible on both iOS and Android devices. This app boasts an intriguing development journey, initially recognized as “Neopets Match 3” during its early stages. In essence, Faerie’s Hope falls under the category of “match-three” games, where players skillfully arrange tiles to create specific configurations that prompt the tiles to vanish. Among its Neopets match-three counterparts are Sutek’s Tomb, Goparokko, and the now-retired Ghoul Catchers. Story Guide Faerie’s Hope unfolds its captivating tale in the aftermath of the Fall of Faerieland during the renowned Y12 Faerie Festival. For those eager to catch up on the events leading up to this point, the app provides a “Previously on…” flashback, recounting the history of pre-fall Faerieland, the villainous actions of Xandra turning faeries to stone, and the efforts of Brynn and Hanso in rebuilding the city on the ground. The new narrative commences when the app reveals a small abandoned house, a remnant of old Faerieland, still perched on a cloud foundation high in the sky. The discovery of this house remains shrouded in mystery, but it hints at Fyora and an unknown Faerie Shoyru being the ones who stumbled upon it. In this mesmerizing world, the story follows a solitary surviving faerie encased in a crystal. Guided by Fyora, the Faerie Queen, she emerges from the crystal with no recollection of her name. As Fyora helps her remember her elemental affiliation—light—the player gets to choose her name. With other memories eluding her, Fyora invites the player faerie to relax by playing a game with the assistance of Varia. It is revealed that the player faerie was found when Varia accidentally crashed into her house. Thus, the adventure begins. The main storyline of Faerie’s Hope advances through the exchange of purple Wocky Jelly, earned by conquering levels. Players have the liberty to progress through the story at their own pace, separate from their level achievements. They can redeem the Wocky Jelly to unveil several scenes of the story at once or opt not to redeem, though it means missing out on some rewards. Alongside the main story, players can also delve into side stories by accessing a realm called Dreamland, unlocked partway through the second day of the main narrative. In Dreamland, players utilize blue Wocky Jam to progress through these additional stories. They can switch between Dreamland and New Faerieland freely, with Dreamland levels advancing side stories and New Faerieland levels driving the main storyline. Characters from dreams may occasionally cross over into reality, creating intriguing connections. Interestingly, the Neopia Studio dream sequence was the original storyline of Faerie’s Hope during its early development stages. It involved building a movie studio in Neopia instead of focusing on the reconstruction of a part of Faerieland in the sky after Xandra’s devastation.

Faerie’s Hope offers an array of enticing rewards and incentives to keep players engaged. These rewards encompass additional characters, coins, coupons, and boosters, adding to the excitement of the game. Daily Login Bonus Upon logging in daily, players receive rewards based on the length of their consecutive login streaks. The rewards remain consistent for every seven days in the streak, with extra bonuses granted for longer streaks.

It presents a set of initial goals to work on, culminating in the coveted reward of unlocking Ascor as a playable character. Save a Faerie Doll Unlocked upon finishing level 16 of Faerie’s Hope Main Story, “Save a Faerie Doll” is a periodic mini-event that lasts for 48 hours. Players are tasked with completing up to 45 levels to rescue Faerie Dolls and receive gratifying rewards. Battle Pass Upon completing level 21 of Faerie’s Hope Main Story, the Battle Pass is unlocked, offering players the chance to earn bonus rewards by completing levels. For those seeking even more rewards, there is an optional subscription option. Battle Pass Guide At level 26 of Faerie’s Hope Main Story, “Match Dash” becomes accessible. It is a recurring mini-event that spans 48 hours and involves competing against four other players or NPCs to be the first to finish a specific level.

Pointers

• You do not have a set number of lives. It’s okay if you don’t catch every item.
• The only items that will fall until you have two items in your stack are: Twirly Fruit, Oranella, Spiky Orange Murex Shell, and The Ixi Adventure.
  Once you have 2 items in your stack, Speckled Jetsam Plushie, Mutant Jubjub Plushie, and Garlic Jubjub Plushie will begin to fall.
• You cannot lose the game until you have 2+ items in your stack. To optimize points, the first two items you should catch are Spiky Orange Murex Shell and The Ixi Adventure (worth 22 points each)
• When a Warf is coming, move to the left; he’ll stop as soon as he gets close to you, giving you more space to maneuver.
• When a Drackonack is coming, move to the right; he’ll stop as soon as he gets close to you, giving you more space to maneuver.
• Type “wocky” to make a Buzzer appear holding an orb, catching the Buzzer with your stack will prevent it from wobbling for approximately 5 seconds. Your stack will only be frozen if you have 3+ items stacked (the buzzer will still drop though) One use per game
• If your stack is relatively small (3 items, maybe 4) you may be able to run across the screen without dropping your stack; it is only recommended you try this if your stack is leaning almost all the way to one side and you need to get to the other side (ie. If your stack is almost all the way to the left and you need to move to the left side of the screen.) Once you make it across the screen, your stack should be leaning nearly all the way in the opposite direction than it was and can be very tricky to regain balance. This should only be attempted for a Harffel Fruit or Evil Coconut.

Playing the Game

When you start the game, type “wock” (the beginning of the code “wocky”) this way you only have to push “y” to make the buzzer come down later. As you cannot lose until you have caught 2 or more items, it is highly recommended that you do not catch any Twirly Fruit or Oranella; these two are only worth 11 points, catching two of these as your first items only gives you 22 points, and you can easily lose with only 22 points. However, catching Spiky Orange Murex Shell and The Ixi Adventure as your first two items will give you 44 points. Once you have 2 items and 44 points, you should wait until a Speckled Jetsam Plushie, Mutant Jubjub Plushie, or Garlic Jubjub Plushie drops.
The best strategy is to only catch high point items, low point items do little for your score and make the game harder to progress in
