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.
