NYC Meetup: Scavenger Hunt Adventure - Bella Azbug Park 

A huge thank you to everyone who came out on October 10th to join us at Bella Abzug Park for our NYC Meetup: Scavenger Hunt Adventure! 

We’re especially grateful to our amazing hosts, Jeran and Corvus Cantum, for guiding the hunt and bringing the fun rain or shine (though we’re glad the weather held out).

To everyone who stopped by the Neopets Community Meetup at RetroGameCon: thank you for making it such a memorable and heartwarming experience!

It was incredible to meet so many passionate Neopians in person. We loved seeing you connect with fellow community members, dive into puzzles and challenges, and share stories about your favorite pets, plots, and proudest in-game moments (yes, those high avatar counts).

One of the highlights? The Neopets Team had the joy of meeting a multigenerational Neopian family! Grandparents, parents, and kids who’ve been playing together for 25 years! It’s moments like these that remind us just how special this community is and how deeply Neopia continues to bring people together across generations.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, your stories, and your love for all things Neopian. We’re so grateful to be on this adventure with you.

And thank you to Community Ambassador Macosten for cohosting! 


Thank You, Neopia!

As always, thank you for being a part of this wonderful community. Your feedback, creativity, and passion help drive Neopia forward! Stay tuned for more news, events, and surprises in the weeks ahead.

With gratitude,
The Neopets Team
