Pick Your Own

How to get: Collect 6 dung-free items.
NT Game Guides: blazewolfpup
Hints:
  • If you do pick up a piece of dung, click on it in your basket and discard it. There are nine sections of the farm and you can click once on each section giving you nine chances to get non-dung items.
  • Try not to pick up twice on the same area map. I've noticed if I did that my chances up picking up dung intensified. (kitty_kat159)

Plushie Tycoon

How to get: Make the top 50 for Plushie Tycoon. Re, the game lasts a full MONTH!
Game Guides: cinders_lair | evil_ptgod | m_evard | parkerchempro | roweslab | sirinja | starbred
NT Game Guides: m_evard
Hints:
  • You can earn the av by playing just the final week of the game.
  • To avoid getting hit by the taxman, bookmark the warehouse or other spot and do NOT go to the main page until you put enough jobs out to drop below 50k. Remember, he visits every 6 days! (cinders_lair)
  • Prices of gems will vary depending on which time zone you are in. Use this to your advantage! Start the game and check the price of gems. Change time zone. Check the price of gems. Restart if necessary. Using the cheaper of the time zones, purchase your gems, THEN set your time zone for game play. (cinders_lair)
  • There was also a big article on PT in the 2nd issue of Neopets Magazine which you can likely find at your local library.
  • If you are about to run out of money on the hour your shop is selling out, bookmark your shop. When you return to the shop, it processes that first, avoiding a bankruptcy, even if you would have gone into the negatives. (cinders_lair)

Poogle Racing

How to get: Bet on the winning Poogle.
Hints:
  • Always bet on the same Poogle. This will increase your odds of winning.
  • If your Poogle loses, press F5 on the race screen to replay the race with a different outcome. NB: The race MAY have a different outcome, but I have not yet seen MY OWN Poogle win by refreshing.

Raiders of Maraqua

How to get: Score 800+.

Game Guides: darkwing693 | musicofmyflute | nobody11010010

NT Game Guides: solidus_snake
Secret Codes:
1morekarpohplease Extra life at start of game if you have less than 5 lives. Once per game.
Hints:
  • Do not rush to complete levels, you will get the increased score needed by continuing to collect the floating 10 bubbles. Later collections are worth more than 10. (cinders_lair)
  • The hammerheads ARE your friends, let them make you bubbles so you can continue to kill the other enemys. Once you kill a certain number you will get a score bubble. - Side note, you cannot just sit and wait: If you fail to move for a short while it restarts the level minus a life. (cinders_lair)
  • I found I got the most points in level 19. You are allowed to kill more fish in that level, and since there are so many, shots of 2+ are really lined up to get 15 points or more (I got 20 in one shot). Im pretty sure I earned well over 300 points in that level. If someone has managed to save all their lives when they get to the level, it's even better. (melancholyangel)

Sewage Surfer

How to get: Quit during Level 50.
Game Guides: barbara725 | htamale
NT Game Guides: togepi_forever

Hints:

  • Out of discards? Just place the pieces you don't need on the board in a place that is out of the way!

Shapeshifter

How to get: Complete Level 5, visit another page, and then return to the main game page.
Game Guides: aquamarine33 | htamale (advanced) | myhatbarks
NT Game Guides: htamale | rosebud2554 | sillyliss
Hints:
  • The goal of the game? To change all the blocks to look like this:
  • Every time you place a piece on the board, each of the symbols under it will change to its opposite.
  • This is a puzzle game. Keep thinking ahead. Jot down your board and your pieces on a piece of paper to help keep it all straight in your mind. Place each piece in a different spot and see if it will work. If not, try it in another spot!
  • Keep in mind that if you have two pieces that are identical, if you place them in the exact location on the board, they will cancel each other out. This can be helpful when you have so many pieces in later levels to decrease the amount of planning ahead necessary, however doesn't always work.

Snowager

How to get: Random when you get blasted
NT Game Guides: modestmouskateer
Hints:
  • Visit the Snowager when he's sleeping. You could get a free item, blasted (needed for the av) or he'll wake up and look at you.
  • Times in NST (Neopian Standard Time)
    6 AM - 7 AM
    2 PM - 3 PM
    10 AM - 11 AM
    Keep in mind that this is Neopian Standard Time -- this may not match your time zone. NST and Pacific Time are the same.

Snowmuncher

How to get: Score 5000+.

Game Guides: astealore | coridabrat | dontforgettofloss | zarrosfaerie

NT Game Guides: battle_c | coridabrat | heart_tedy_bear | lemonlovingcutie
Secret Codes:
buuuurrrrrrrrp (4u's and 8r's) will take 50% of your bloat away. Once per game.
dieter Multiplies your score and makes Dieter yodel. As soon as you send your score or eat another block, it will go back to normal. (Just for fun)
Hints:
  • To earn a lot of points by eating snow, rather than eating tons of big blocks of like-coloured snow, try to eat the blocks under them to make them fall. Four or more blocks stuck together will disappear when they fall, giving you points without bloating you. This also works if you join other blocks of the same colour.
  • Staying near the center of the screen will help ensure you can reach either side of the screen as needed.
  • Make sure you have an amazing first level (over 700 points) and an above average second level (1700-2000). (chalistar)
  • Level 2 is the easiest level to get a good score on. Try to get all the gems -- the purple ones will get you the most points! Since this is the easiest level to score on, when you reach the bottom, STOP eating snow and time-out. You can eat the bits around you to help you bloat by 95%, but wait for time to run out. If you do, you will restart the level, complete with your score from your point of death. Repeat this level again, but rethat the third time through, you are on your final life. If you're lucky, you'll finish Level 2 with a score around 4,500. If you're careful on Level 3, you'll easily earn the last 500 points needed to get the av.
  • After level 2 do not got stray from a straight path down unless you are getting a potion: You do not have the time or blocks. Make sure that you only get the bonuses on the way. (chalistar)
  • In the higher levels 3 or 4 + be sure to not hit the combinations of 2 or 3 bricks. Instead go underneath those bricks -- It is safer that way (as they will shield you from bricks falling on you). (chalistar)
  • Try and not lose your first life until you are over 3000 points, or else things will be really tough! (chalistar)
  • When you are on the last block of snow make sure that you eat the blocks of snow around you until you are up to 95% bloat, then use the last 5% to eat the last block below you and move to the next level. (smokeydoodles7)
  • Before getting a Bloat-B-Gone make sure your at 50% bloat or over, if your not, eat some blocks around you. (smokeydoodles7)
  • If you hold the arrow while pushing against a block and a block falls on top of you, you will not die. However, if you let go of the arrow and a block falls on you, you will lose a life. You MUST hold down the arrow the entire time. This works well for manuvering around to get gems without getting bloated. (crzytilprvnothrwise)

Snow Wars II

How to get: Score 10,000+.
Game Guides: kalamun | saratheo
NT Game Guides: ohguesswhat | raverchris | x_ryot_grrrl_x

Stowaway Sting

How to get: Score over 1200 points.

Game Guides: duanezz | sweep_the_doghouse

Secret Codes:

scrap To restore your health, type in at any point of the game.

Hints:

  • On the first level, wait until you have collected 4 money bags before completing the level.On level 2 collect 5 money bags before proceeding, from level 3 and above try to collect 5 money bags and 2 diamonds a level. (viperine17)
  • Use the cheat in between levels when your health is below 40%. (viperine17)
  • You will probably get the avvie score on level 6 or 7 if you use these tips. (viperine17)
  • On level 7, if you are near the avatar score but time is running out, turn as many squares green as possible and jump into the hole just before the time ends, then you will most likely be given some extra points for the completed squares, *note this doesnt happen all the time* so use it as a last measure. (viperine17)

Sutek's Tomb

How to get: Score 2000+.

Game Guides: astealore | coolgal_0420 | crazy_candy272 | sueyr | titian_starfire

NT Game Guides: gypsybaby | kitokat_mh | silverfawx | thehopechest
Secret Codes:
pyramibread Gives a hint to line up 3 in a row (Unlimited Use)
plzsutekcanihavemoretime 30 second bonus. (One Time Only)
scarabaeus No Longer Works!
Hints:
  • Scarab - Get this tile to the very bottom of the board to clear the entire bottom row.
  • Sutek's Ankh - Get this tile to the very bottom of the board to clear the entire bottom row, and the entire row it is in vertically.
  • Oliver Head Combo - Get his head to the bottom of the screen to get 500 points and your timer reset. (maxturtle52)
  • Every combo you get (ankh, beetle, bomb, and multi combos) adds more time to your clock (so work fast to get as much time as possible).
  • Having trouble? Figure out your print screen option. This is most often the PrtScn option. Start the game and do a screen capture, pause the game, open the paint program and paste to it. You will have the whole screen. Plan your moves and unpause, repeat as you go on and start to get stuck. (cinders_lair)
  • You can only pause your game 3 times now! Beware! (omelette_cafe)
  • When you use the codes, it is better to pause the game first, then type the code except for the last letter, resume the game and type the last letter. It may take some practice to perfect this but it helps! (crazy_candy272)

TNT Staff Smasher

How to get: Score 2250+
Game Guides: squidonstick | star138 | tigger_rulez
NT Game Guides: alexmax13 | axel_roze | princess_dizzy_dayz | sum41girl2k
Secret Codes:
a5paragu5 Get a bigger hammer. (One use only) (cinders_lair)
Hints:
  • Wait until the later levels to make use of the secret code, a5paragu5. (cinders_lair)
  • Don't risk clicking off the screen and losing precious time in your game.... the larger your screen, the least likely this will happen. HOWEVER... weigh your options. Remember that the smaller the screen size, the less mouse-travel is needed to click on the next staff-member's head.
  • Most people find Level 12 'impossible' to do, so you have to score 2250 by Level 11. Therefore, it is best to score 200+ points per round until level 11 if you want that av. You don't need to have all your points before that level, although it helps. If you only need like 20 points or so it is possible to get them in level 12. Easiest way to score points in level 12 is to pick a spot, stay there and just click when people pop up.(stopfreezingme22)
  • Best tip is get the staff members in the order of when they pop up so you can get all possible points. Once your on the higher levels and they're moving fast, then go for the girls first, but if you're still fast enough go for them in order of when they pop up. The girls are somewhat higher than El Pickulsaur. But if you're used to playing the game, you'll know how many points will be recieved for hitting a certain staff, so take priority on who to hit first. (stopfreezingme22)
  • On levels 11+ focus on one side of the screen. I've gotten good enough that I can do both sides for level 11 but level 12 is like impossible. (soccerstar712)
  • Take breaks between each good score, 20 minutes recommended, it helps. (soccerstar712)
  • Don't get frustrated, don't click off screen and don't hit neopets (soccerstar712)
  • If you get a high enough score, send it, who knows if you hit a neopet and end up losing points. (soccerstar712)

Top Gamer

How to get: Score in 250 games in Neopia.
Hints:
  • You don't need to score well. Even a score of one in most games will get the game added to your list, getting you one step closer to the av.
  • The key? SPONSOR GAMES!!! Play them all! Want to know the latest ones out or where to find those hard to find Neopian Games? These two pet pages will help you out: My_First_Little_Pony and neo__bori

Turmaculus

How to get: Have Turmaculus eat your petpet.
Game Guides: picovamde
NT Game Guides: agnoline
Hints:
  • Turmaculus only wakes up once a day, and even then it is at random times. Pay attention on the boards or Guild Message Board for when he is awake. However, just because he is awake for most, doesn't mean you can wake him.
  • Ensure the petpet attached to your active pet is a cheap one -- I suggest an Abominable Snowball or a Tenna.
  • If you want him to eat your petpet, then do something nasty to him. If you sing or tap dance for him, chances are, he'll give you a prize. If you kick him or hit him with a stick, you'll have better chances to have him snack on your petpet. Be aware though: This is RANDOM! This will not guarantee he will eat your petpet.
  • Also be aware that once you try to wake Turmaculus up, you cannot try to wake him again for 30 minutes.
  • A pattern has been discovered for Turmy's wake-up times! Add 5 hours to his hour of awakening and you have tomorrow's time. Of course, it could be AM or PM -- this is still the unknown!

Typing Terror

How to get: Score 3600+
Game Guides: endgame | lylbayescuex
NT Game Guides: crazyginger83 | gwenfrewi | incheesuswetrust | scarvogue | sillyliss
Hints:
  • Aim to get 500 points in the first round. If you don't, chances are you won't get the required points to get the avatar, so may as well start again.
  • Don't bother fighting the boss battle unless you have at least 2,500 points going into the fight. The boss battle can give you 1,100 points if you have all 3 lives and score a perfect accuracy. (j_tinebra)

Tyranu Evavu

How to get: Make at least 15 correct guesses in a row.
Game Guides: thecity0fangels
NT Game Guides: fire_faerie_872
Hints:
  • Very simple: If the card is 6 or below, choose Tyranu (higher). If the card is 8 or above, choose Evavu (lower). If the card is a 7, good luck! This won't guarantee you'll win, but will make the chances of winning slightly higher.
  • Beware: The Tyranu and Evavu change places every so often to mix you up!
  • If you hover your cursor over the button and look at the link, it also mentions that Tyranu means higher and Evavu means lower.

Ultimate Bullseye II

How to get: Score 100+.
Game Guides: auntielee | nova022
NT Game Guides: s57v58
Secret Codes:
catapult Gives you a power up. Be sure to use it before shot 10, or it will be wasted unless you get a bullseye on the final shot. Once per game. (cinders_lair)
Hints:
  • Always shoot at the red and yellow balloons and let it hit the board to get 30+ points! (azfar_96)

Underwater Fishing

How to get: Catch a Titanic Giant Squid
Game Guides: darkx__xwonderland | psx3001
Hints:
  • It is believed that catching something is random, but try when you can! If you don't try, you can't increase your skill level and will never get that av! Levelling up is also random.
  • Titanic Giant Squids have been caught as early as level 80.
  • Reading the book "Fishing Made Easy" will increase your pet's fishing level by 1-3 points.

Volcano Run II

How to get: Score 1500+.
Game Guides: chaosrocket | mesmeretics
NT Game Guides: dahlia_angela | emtz
Secret Codes:
glubgar Extra life. Once per game. (theordinaryboys)
Hints:
  • Avatar previously available by playing Volcano Run prior to retirement.
  • If there's a moving rock about to hit you, hold c to go backwards and move out of its way. (theordinaryboys)
  • If you want to pass something quickly, just hold v till you are past it. (theordinaryboys)
  • Don't risk your lives to get all of the bonus points. Unless you've been playing the game a while, don't attempt to collect every gem. -- However, if you DO want to try and get them all, here's a tip.
    --no_html_comments- If there's a fireball crossing over the gems, hold down "c" before you pass the diamonds. Once the fireball is gone, you can drop down and collect all three.
    --no_html_comments- if you're stuck between the wall and a rock/fireball with a very narrow path in between, hold down "v" to speed through it. the majority of the time you'll make it. (hieisandbakurasgrl)
  • The points for the bonus gems (if you collect them all) always end at 450 (lowest) through 500 (highest). (hieisandbakurasgrl)

Wise Old King

How to get: Random when you score 750+ or an A+.
Hints:
  • Scores are random.
  • You can try once a day.
