Highrise, the best mobile virtual world for making real friends, expressing your style, and building your own digital universe, today announced an enchanting collaboration with Neopets, the legendary virtual pet game where players can adopt, customize, and interact with Neopets in the vast world of Neopia, bringing the mystical pets, worlds, and games to the tens of millions of Highrise users worldwide.

Highrise players will experience the excitement of Neopia by collecting beloved Neopets, completing thrilling challenges and games, and showing off their Neopets style. Beginning April 17th, players can choose from Neopets Kacheek, Xweetok, and Aisha and customize them with their favorite colors and paintbrushes. Neopets will accompany players on adventures across Neopia Central, which includes Tyrannia, Faerieland, and Terror Mountain. Players can also collect paint brush variants that work across all species, spin the Wheel of Excitement, enter the Money Tree raffle, play games including Volcano Run II and Whack a Beast, collect 30 epic accessories, and more. 

“We’re dedicated to ensuring Highrise remains the best user-generated virtual world today. Neopets is a legendary game we all grew up playing, and it's the perfect match for our users, who come to Highrise to make new friends, customize avatars, and play games together after outgrowing the features and communities of other platforms. At their core, Highrise and Neopets are both about eternally resonating themes of expressing your creativity and true self. We’re excited for players to interact with Neopets in an entirely new way with their friends in Highrise,” said Anton Bernstein, CEO of Pocket Worlds, the makers of Highrise.

“I’m thrilled to see Neopets evolving into a place where our community can hang out together, no matter where they are,” said Dominic Law, CEO of Neopets. “Highrise is the perfect home for this next chapter. By bringing iconic Neopets experiences into a social, mobile-first world, we’re giving fans a fresh way to explore Neopia together. Whether you’ve been with us for twenty years or are just starting your journey today, this partnership creates a playground where everyone belongs, creativity thrives, and every player can tell their own story.
