We're continuing our monthly tradition: an update on all things new and refreshed last month at Jellyneo!
Here's a rundown of what's new here from the past month.
Neopian Times Guide Refresh
We've modernized our various guides on aspects of the Neopian Times to reflect the current state of the Times, such as how to participate in collaborative issues, the cadence of the publication schedule, and tips for getting your work published by the current editor. We've also united our guides into one central hub!
Festival of Neggs Coverage
The Festival of Neggs 2025 took place from April 10th through 19th. We kept our guide updated each day with the location of the hidden neggs, as well as summarizing the final prizes (which you can still claim, if you haven't yet)!
Similarly, we have all the details on the Festival's Neocash component, Dip & Dye Neggs, which will remain available through May 10th:
April Fools
We've added a recap of the April Fools shenanigans on Neopets.com, which saw the return of the Sceptic Tank originally featured in the
2023 April Fools prank, as well as some apropos banner ad parodies and a brand new avatar. You can read our full summary of it all here:
We also had a little fun for our own April Fool's prank, time-traveling our homepage by randomly displaying seasonal holiday news posts and site themes from the past year!
Jellyneo Dark Mode Site Themes + "Pirates & Scallywags" Site Theme
Speaking of site themes! We are in the process of putting the finishing touches on universal dark mode for all site themes here at Jellyneo. Currently, if your browser settings are set to use dark mode, that preference will be respected by our theme and turn JN into a darker version. We're still working on tweaking the themes along with testing it across departments, as well as adding a dark mode toggle regardless of your browser preference.
Also, enjoy our brand new "Pirates & Scallywags" theme! This will be our seasonal theme for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" on September 19th, but you can also opt in to use it year round. To change your site theme, scroll to the very bottom of any page here at JN and look for the "Your Site Theme" section in the footer. Your preference is saved to your device and sticks across most of JN.
Tales of Dacardia
Our Tales of Dacardia guide has continued to expand in the last month.
We've got a guide up for the Festival of Neggs event. The event's Donation Drive just wrapped up last weekend, but the daily login calendar will remain available through May 9th. We also have relevant event-related updates to our
Resources listing and
Premium Parlour guide.
We've also overhauled our
Wheel of Prizes guide with the latest changes, which includes a couple new slots as well as expanded opportunities for prizes on Neopets.com!
Faerie Fragments
The beleaguered Faerie Fragments mobile app received some much-needed stability improvements last month, allowing us to continue to enhance our guide.
First up, we have an event guide for the current seasonal event, the Enchanted Egg Hunt. This event continues with the same general format of previous events, while also adding a new activity: the Hatchery!
TNT is currently running a "Hatchery Challenge" promotion to reward the community with Neopets.com prizes for participating in the Hatchery. You can find out more on the details of this
in our news post.
We've also continued to develop more guides in our hub for what we are calling "Bonus Activities": the various minigames and features the app offers to earn (or buy) in-game rewards.
New Position at Jellyneo: Mobile Game Guide Updater
For arguably the first time ever, Neopets mobile apps have been getting regular updates. And as you may be able to tell from these monthly posts, it has already been a
lot for our regular content crew to keep up with. We're seeking new volunteer team members who are interested in helping maintain our Tales of Dacardia and Faerie Fragments guides, as well as any other future mobile apps. If this sounds of interest to you, check out our Volunteer page for how to apply:
Recurrent Guide Updates
Some site features are perennially updated by TNT, and so our articles about them are too!
Finally, we are always adding new entries to our databases. You can keep up with them at any time!
If you discovered something delightful or useful above, make our
day month by letting us know in the comments. Happy May!
