It's that time of year again! Happy birthday Neopets! The site is turning 27 soon, and to celebrate there are some new and returning features.
The Wheel of Celebration returns! Spin for your chance at retired avatars, Neopoints, and other item prizes!
The 26th Birthday Map can be redeemed again if you have already done it.
If you submitted to #NEOPETS you may have been selected as a winner to play in the all new game A Piece of Neopia!
Note: there will be a part 2 announcement of the winners as TNT works on redrawing items for the site.
Also new this year to the birthday event but not new to Neopia is the Celebration Pass which is part of the new-ish battle pass system. If you are premium you get it for free but otherwise it costs 649 NC in the mall.
You can earn new and old items, including an all new stamp and all new paint brush!
Because you need to get points along the track, there are even more features this year. Besides all of the above earning you points towards the track, the mobile games Tales of Dacardia and Faerie Fragments will allow you to earn points. There is also a community boss battle event, the Monoceraptor Raid.
This will last during the duration of the event. He has 6,000,000,000 (!!) HP so you should be able to get some good whacks in. Even though he will beat you, you can earn prizes including a new business card (stamp). There are also prizes for beating him individually and as a community. You can earn a site event trophy for your lookup, and if you deal at least 1000 damage during the event you will qualify for the avatar.
According to the FAQ you earn points by:
- Deal damage to Monoceraptor (10 points for every 100 damage dealt (Max 300 points per day))
- Spin the Wheel of Celebration (25 points per spin)
- Completing the Birthday Treasure Map and claiming your prize (300 points)
- Complete any training course (5 points per hour trained (Max 150 points per day))
- Send a birthday Neogreeting (10 points per greeting (Max 100 points per day))
- Complete the event questline on Tales of Dacardia (250 points)
- Collect 1000 Bronze Coins in the ongoing Faerie Fragments event (250 points)
- Submit a score for A Piece of Neopia (20 points per game with at least one puzzle complete)
Note: November 10th and 11th both count as day one for points.
TNT made a sneaky improvement to the Neoboards! You can say words that were previously banned!
We aren't talking bad words of course. But ones like cucumber, grape, uncle, seaweed, and more! There's still some innocent words that directly have double meanings such as cyber or booby that are banned. But this is a giant step for making NC trades or petpage wishlists. This also helps for most image URLs as well, so post your Let It Snow avatar to your heart's content.
The Space Faerie Scratchcard for Premium Subscribers was updated today. Head on over to our Space Faerie Scratchcard guide to see the new pool of items. Find an item not listed yet on our guide? Neomail Bloom or Melanie.
Happy Pteri Day! Pteri can now be painted Relic! The Airaxer Pteri outfit can be found at Cog's Togs. Our Rainbow Pool database has been updated!

As of November 4th, 2026, TNT has added in Pronouns to our NeoBoards! You can access them in your NeoBoard Preferences page in Settings. There, you can find a list of Pronouns (and more) under Neotitle. We've given a screenshot of what Pronouns are available to choose from. This does, however, take the place of, and is not in-addition to, other Neotitles.
We’ve added pronoun options available in Neotitles (accessible in your Neoboard Preferences page) to give players more ways to express themselves and help everyone identify and refer to one another more comfortably. The updated pronoun list will offer a range of options, making it easier for players to choose how they prefer to be addressed.
Neopets is a place for everyone, and we want all players to feel welcome and respected. As we introduce these new options, we encourage everyone to be mindful of how they refer to others and to respect each player’s chosen pronouns.
The second item in the NC Collectible series, Sophie's Swamp Secrets, is now available in the NC Mall: Sophie's Powerful Collectible Wig
Check out our NC Collectibles guide for an overview of all items released in all of the NC Collectibles Series.
Happy Monday from TNT. Today they have debuted a new feature: the Pet Bookshelf. Similar to the Archive Bookshelf (check out our guide for more info!) this one is actually specific to what your pet has read. Each pet has their own bookshelf.
As part of this update, the Quick Ref page has been updated. You can now get to Quick Ref by clicking the "My Pets" icon (not from the dropdown) in the sidebar. Go here, then you should notice two different ways to get to the pet's bookshelf like in the example below.
Directly underneath the pet is a "Pet Bookshelf" button, or if you click the arrow at their image you can get a drop down to do many things including visit the Pet Bookshelf (fourth option).
Once you are there you can see what your pet has read, split into both regular and Booktastic books.
If you click "Enter Pet Bookshelf" you will see a screen that is familar to you if you have looked at the regular Archived Bookshelf. Here you can view and customise each pet's individual bookshelf and swap between them in the top left. Each customisation item may only be used on one bookshelf at a time.
You can also buy extra shelves. They start at 3000 NeoPoints, and will go up by 500 NeoPoints for each additional one. For every 150 unique books your pet reads, you will also earn additional shelves. These free ones will not increase the cost of your next paid one.
Read a book to your pet for all new prizes. They seem to be based upon number of books read, but at this time we are still collecting data on each threshold. There are even more books, a stamp, a coin, and wearables you can obtain the more you read. Note that this can be a book they have already read. When you do you will get a popup saying to check your inventory (see above). Also note that you cannot lend a pet out who has already claimed the milestone rewards. Similarly, if you adopt a pet who has read 300 books you cannot claim the previous milestone rewards, just the subsequent ones.
After that you can check your lookup for a new trophy! We are also still collecting data on those thresholds.
But wait! There's more! TWO new avatars!
1000 Books – Have your pet read 1000 books, can be combined between Booktastic and Normal.

On Wednesday morning, SunnyNeo performed maintenance to update affected PHP software and implement additional safeguards to strengthen site security. We continue to closely monitor SunnyNeo and our infrastructure while working on further security enhancements and upgrades to provide additional layers of protection.
Additionaly, TNT has published an important announcement in the New Features section addressing recent security concerns and providing further clarification and tips:
A Note on Site Security
Hello Neopians! You may have seen recent reports about security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology that a huge portion of the internet (Neopets included) is built on. We wanted to let you know what we’ve done about it.
As soon as these reports came out, our engineering team reviewed Neopets against them, applied the necessary updates, and put additional safeguards in place. We’ve found no evidence that any player accounts or data were affected.
We’re actively monitoring the site and will keep strengthening our defences as more details are released. We will keep you updated when anything changes. Neopets is safe to use, and you don’t need to take any action. That said, it’s never a bad time for a little account spring cleaning:
- Sign in with NeoPass. If you haven’t already, link your account to NeoPass and use it to log in. It’s our recommended way to sign in, and it means one less password to remember (or accidentally reuse!)
- Use a strong, unique password that you don’t reuse on other sites
- Make sure the email on your account is one you can still access
- Never share your password or PIN with anyone, including anyone claiming to be Neopets staff
If you ever notice something odd on your account, submit a ticket and we’ll take a look.
Thanks for playing, and thanks for your patience while we took care of this behind the scenes.
— The Neopets Team
