Neopets is ready for spooky season! Trick-or-treating and the Festival of Fears celebration are just around the corner, along with an upcoming brand-new story game, new avatars, page conversions, Pet Styles, and more. Keep reading to see everything happening on Neopets this October and beyond!

Not only will we be making some exciting quality-of-life changes to Quest Log later this month, but we also have an updated announcement regarding Battle Pass for players to read ahead of our upcoming seasonal events.

Sneak Preview: Kanrik Chronicles

Coming later this October, get ready to step into the shadows with Kanrik Chronicles, a brand-new Choose Your Own Adventure visual novel-style experience!

Join Kanrik on a daring heist to steal the mysterious new "Star" jewel from the Brightvale Museum. As the new Thieves Guild Rookie…do you have what it takes to become Kanrik's right-hand man?

With four possible outcomes, each featuring its own unique prize and avatar, every choice can lead you down a different path. Replay and unlock all four endings to earn a one-of-a-kind completion prize!

Behind the scenes, the Neopets Team has had so much fun working on this new character-driven initiative. Envisioned by a core team dedicated to finding new ways to deliver gameplay and storylines to players, we're incredibly excited for you to experience what we feel is the first step in testing out new gameplay and character interactions, seeing what resonates with players, and building towards bigger updates.

This passion project, although still in its very early stages, has given the team space to experiment with new gameplay ideas, richer character interactions, and more immersive storytelling. We can't wait for you to see what we've been working on!

Keep an eye on our News Portal for more information on Kanrik Chronicles, Festival of Fears, and more upcoming events!

We've teamed up with our friends over at Makeship to release two more NPC Neopet character plushies! Neopia's most iconic villains, Dr. Sloth and The Darkest Faerie return in new intimidatingly cuddly forms. Pre-orders are open through October 22nd, so get to scheming!

Tales of Dacardia

Spooks, sweets, and scary stories have come to Dacardia! Go trick-or-treating with your Dacardian pals, then join Captain Cora Sayri and her friends as she takes you through the Tale of the Zombie Slorg Attack. Complete quests, craft decorations, and play a brand-new minigame in Tales of Dacardia's new Halloween event!

And if that's not scary enough, batten down the hatches, as something else BIG and scary is coming... It's the Monstrous Moach! Crabby Hopbobbin is gearing up for another Donation Dome, and she needs your help to fight off this fearsome foe. She's got a terrifying arsenal of prizes to give away this time... and so does Captain Quickfinger! So make sure to stop by their shops on your trick-or-treating journey.

Finally, there's an all-new book to be collected and read to your pets, available only in Tales of Dacardia: Dacardian Ghoti-Wrangling! With so many treats to look forward to, you may be waiting for the tricks... But we promise, there are none! Unless you count the pranks the Crabby-bots are playing on each other... but don't worry, they're nothing to be scared of.
