GAMES ROOM - Have you ever looked at the flash game hi-scores and wondered, "How
do they get such high scores?" Or, have you ever looked at someone's trophy cabinet
and wondered, "How do they get so many trophies?" This guide will help you get
some easy trophies and help you on your quest for some of the tougher trophies.
Let's start off with some of the easier trophies.
Cheat!
Hey, it's Cheat. This is a classic card game. To get a trophy in this game,
simply beat all the players to get your Cheat Champion trophy. You can play
Cheat here!
Go! Go! Go!
This is another card game. This one isn't as well known as cheat, but it's
still simple enough to play. To get your trophy, just beat all of the opponents.
You can play Go! Go! Go! here.
Snow Wars
It's Battleship but with snowmen and catapults. The game is simple, click
on one of the question marks and hope you hit one of your opponent's pieces.
There are 10 opponents and your get a trophy after beating certain ones. There
are a total of 7 pieces to hit. One is a snowman (4x4 square), a palace (4x4
square), a catapult (3x1 rectangle), a cannon (1x2 rectangle), a snowball cache
(1x2 rectangle), and 2 small snowmen which are each 1x1 squares. You can play
Snow Wars here.
Each competition starts at the beginning of each month and ends at the end of
the month. There are a total of four games, one game is played every week. If
you are lucky, your opponent may not make a move in 24 hours. After 24 hours
you can send them a 'move or lose' Neomail. If your opponent still has not moved
after 24 hours of receiving the mail, you can automatically win the game. If
you make it to the third week and lose, you'll at least get a third place trophy.
Multiplayer Games - Geos
Here's another multiplayer game. Like all multiplayer games, you have to sign
up for the multiplayer competition that starts at the beginning of every month.
The object of the game is to create shapes one piece at a time. The playing
board is a large square and players take turns putting pieces on the board.
You and your opponent cannot see each other's pieces. If you place a piece on
the same space as your opponent's piece, your opponent's piece will be destroyed
and you will get another turn. But if you place a piece on one of your opponent's
completed shapes, the piece will stay and you will lose your turn. The same
'move or lose' rules apply to this game. If you make it to the third week or
past, you will get a trophy.
Multiplayer Games - Armada
This is the last multiplayer game. It's a game of strategy played by two players.
Like all multiplayer games, you have to sign up for the multiplayer competition
that starts at the beginning of every month. The object of the game is to conquer
as much of the board as you can, or completely annihilate your opponent's pieces.
You and your opponent take turns moving ships along the board. If you move a
piece into a square that is adjacent (next) to the square that the piece is
on, you will create a new piece in that square. However, if you move two spaces
from the square the piece is on, the piece will jump and leave its former position.
My strategy: I like to spawn pieces along the edges until I am 3 spaces from
my opponent's pieces. I then spawn diagonally closer to my opponent's pieces.
If my opponent does not move closer to my pieces, I will jump and take 3 pieces.
This is a very important thing to look for! If you ever see 3 pieces in a straight
horizontal or vertical line, go for the middle piece. Your opponent can't take
back all of the pieces in one move, which gives you the upper hand. I try to
avoid jumping as much as possible unless it will give me the upper hand or lure
my opponent into doing something that will give me the advantage.
Mystery Pic
This is a competition that USUALLY comes out on Wednesdays. This will appear
on the news page whenever a new one comes out. Players are given an enlarged
picture of a picture that appears on the site and they have to try to guess
what it is. This is a bit harder to get a trophy in but it's still easier than
most. There is a maximum of 500 winners every week. There is really no strategy
to getting the mystery picture. I've noticed that the pictures are often from
new games, old caption contests, or anything new on the site. If you have explored
the site a lot, you may be able to recognize the picture. Some people like to
go to the 'help' chat board and ask for the answer. That works very well unless
you are under 13. The Mystery Pic can be found here.
Caption Contest
This is a competition that comes out every 4 or 5 days. This will appear on
the news page whenever a new one comes out. Players are given a picture and
they have to think of a witty caption to go with it. If the Neopets staff decide
it's good, it will be put up and players will vote for what they think is the
best caption. The caption with the most votes gets a trophy. Make sure your
caption is original, there's nothing less funny than a copied caption. Try to
think of a caption before you read others, if you read others, you are more
inclined to say something similar. You can enter the Caption Contest here.
My strategy: Pick 2 multiple-use weapons and fierce attack (or berserk attack)
until I've beaten him.
That's about all for the easy trophies.
