Neopets 26th Birthday Celebrations

UPDATE ~1PM NST: We're starting to get reports that second spins are back to normal. If you had trouble before, try it again now!



UPDATE: The Wheel of Celebration is broken for non-Premium members, only allowing most users to spin once due to the "Watch an Ad" button disappearing and not being accessible today.



Neopets is celebrating its 26th birthday today!




A variety of celebrations are happening throughout Neopia:

  • Need the "Happy Birthday!" avatar? Visit the New Features page today.
  • The Swashbuckling Academy is offering free training to all pets all day. If you've already enrolled for a course you haven't paid, just cancel and re-enroll to get the free course.
  • Treasure of the Black Pawkeet is free today and costs 150NP (half price) for the rest of November.
  • Neopians have increased chances of a good result at Coltzan's Shrine today.
  • The number of tickets for sale at the Ticket Booth is increased to 25,000 (instead of 5,000) today.
  • All users have access to the Birthday Site Theme on both the classic layout and the mobile revamp. This site theme increases your chances of Random Events.
  • For the next three days you may submit 5 scores for Neopoints on Flash games instead of the usual 3 (or 4, for Premium) until the end of Monday the 17th. This applies to classic Flash games only, not those converted to HTML5.



Free NC Goodie Bag
A free goodie bag is available at the NC Mall, available to claim on your sides as well. Inside, you'll find a hair bow wearable:



Additionally, there is a limited time discount code available at the NC Mall through the goodie bag. Use Y27BIRTHDAY at checkout to get a discount of 150 NC off any total purchase of at least 1,000 NC. The item description indicates that the discount code will only work through December 13th.



Anniversary Pet Styles
Yesterday, 111 prismatic Anniversary Styles debuted in the NC Mall's Styling Studio! These styles depict the star-patterned Neopets we've seen showing up over the couple years, but in alternate colours. Styling Studio Prismatic Brush is also on sale for 50% off through end of day tomorrow, November 16, which is a better deal than any bundle of them!

Here is a sampling of the new styles:





Wheel of Celebration
The Wheel of Celebration returned on November 12 and will be available through November 22. It's been refreshed this year with a few new prize pools! It can be spun twice each day: once automatically and once after either watching an ad or having a Premium subscription.




Mobile App Celebrations
Tales of Dacardia has a pair of login calendars ongoing now through the 30th, one of which is specifically themed for the 26th birthday! Head over to our event guide for the details. (A non-birthday related Donation Dome will begin on Monday.)

Faerie Fragments is offering a pair of one-off login prizes today in addition to the usual Daily Stamp Card prize. There will not be a notification in app, but you will receive these two books on Neopets.com:




TNT has also announced several other on-site and merch-related celebrations on the Neopets portal.

There are 96 comments below. Add yours!

A lot of people have been talking about on the neoboards and reddit that today they couldn't get a second spin on the wheel of celebration, both premium and free members.

For free members, some people said they watched an ad and still didn't get the spin, some got a message saying there was no ad, and some people (myself included) didn't even get the usual prompt to watch an ad, it just went straight to the whole "be sure to come and visit me again tomorrow" message with no watch an ad button.
by ruruskadoo on November 15, 2025 4:10 AM NST
Yeah I watched an ad and refreshed and it was acting like I'd already spun twice when I obviously didn't.
by sima232005 on November 15, 2025 4:17 AM NST
Still bummed out. It's the word b-day event ever. TNT has been greedy, site has been very glitchy, and no word are being spoken about this all. They'll 'stick to their guns' of giving us crumbs in a wonky, broken site so it seems. They DON'T care. I'm waiting 'till the event ends to see if MAYBE they will do the right thing FOR ONCE, If not it's bye bye neopets dot com time. I'm tired of this all.
by silvia on November 15, 2025 4:17 AM NST
Yeah, watching an ad does nothing.. I hope they fix that before the end of the day..

Anyway: Happy Birthday Neopets~!
by apophis324 on November 15, 2025 4:19 AM NST
I'm a free member whose Wheel of Celebration is behaving as @ruruskadoo detailed above -- came here straight away to see if I was alone in this, and apparently I'm not!
by fellfroschtagge on November 15, 2025 4:20 AM NST
yeah, no second spin for me either...
by purplehumf on November 15, 2025 4:32 AM NST
I was worried I didn't get a second spin because I landed on the amazing discount code part. I see just the "Check My Codes" button now. While I'm relieved to know that's not the problem, it still bites it IS a problem! So many rare stamps and avatars!!!
by apophis324 on November 15, 2025 4:40 AM NST
Odd, my second spin worked fine.
I won 25k for the millionth time, and +10 intelligence.
May as well not have gotten a second spin.
by biediep on November 15, 2025 4:43 AM NST
we've had a couple reports that second spin ad is still working on mobile...like the issue is somehow related to using a desktop browser....can anyone confirm this?
by kenny on November 15, 2025 4:43 AM NST JN Staff
Happy birthday Neopets!

Sadly, the constant errors, reduced stuff for free players, anniversary colous paywalled for some pets, and low free nc compared to the past only makes me want to not support the site with this specific team. However, I do like they added the possibility of getting retired avatars.
by spongegrundo on November 15, 2025 4:54 AM NST
i did my first spin as a premium member on mobile, and the second spin didn't work for me either...

I am on iPhone, Safari browser.

Also doesn't work on desktop (or actually tablet acting like a laptop XD) either.
by alltimemarr on November 15, 2025 5:02 AM NST
For Darcardia they also re-released the Celebration Aisha pack in the store! I hope they'll do the same for some of the others too, coz i only started playing when they added it to quest log so I missed all the limited time pets
by saralance on November 15, 2025 5:04 AM NST
@Kenny: I only try spinning the wheel on mobile after getting the suspicion that I'd only ever get money on PC. So, unfortunately, Samsung's browser on my android phone is not letting me spin a second time.
by apophis324 on November 15, 2025 5:11 AM NST
i dont even get the option to play an ad for a second spin, the button isnt there
really weird
by iloveeevee on November 15, 2025 5:18 AM NST
I've been spinning twice so far this week and today I also didn't have the button to watch an ad show up. On Firefox on desktop.
by dragonair23 on November 15, 2025 5:31 AM NST
@kenny I just checked on mobile, and it's still not offering me an ad for a second spin, but I did my initial spin on desktop, so maybe it's too late and whatever the glitch was already made it register me as having had 2 spins.
by ruruskadoo on November 15, 2025 5:31 AM NST
Oh my!

And I was crying like a baby about It (not really but the excitement from getting a Starry Night Background just to get an error from not getting a second spin ruined the mood, especially after just getting neopoint rewards Thrice-Once In a row ). Thank god I am not the only one..... not meaning It In spite or anything. I'm sorry you guys are going through the same D:

[TNT better not think getting the Bank Interest reset random event will relieve me from this error but still appreciate It ]
by maninshi on November 15, 2025 5:49 AM NST
Got 500Np from Pawkeet; nothing at all from Shrine.
by bodhi on November 15, 2025 5:57 AM NST
Moehogs were stiffed again......
by ducksbreath on November 15, 2025 6:04 AM NST
Happy Birthday avatar is not being awarded through the converted page, adding / after phtml changes it to the unconverted page which does award the avatar
by o_ya_toe_knee_is_gr8 on November 15, 2025 6:15 AM NST
@kenny I did the spin on mobile while using Chrome and also didn't get the second spin < ,>
by maninshi on November 15, 2025 6:40 AM NST
DIdnt get a 2nd spin and my first spin was just 25k (again). This wheel just isn't hitting.
by gazzletron on November 15, 2025 6:43 AM NST
same, spun the wheel on browser, didn't click "ad watch" and went straight to mobile. I use chrome browser, logged in and there was no watch ad option, just saying come back tomorrow >.< lol neopets cant catch a break. seems like last years fiasco is repeating itself
by dakukuu on November 15, 2025 6:51 AM NST
I'm a premium user but got both my spins today on chrome mobile browser.

Happy Birthday Neopets!
by miss_colly on November 15, 2025 7:33 AM NST
Received an avatar that's already listed (Nova Plushie) and Stack It High Cake.
by delia357panda on November 15, 2025 7:44 AM NST
Worked for me, iOS using chrome
by doethedragon on November 15, 2025 7:46 AM NST
Hey, I got the book "How to Get Past the Guard" from the Wheel, which I believe is not listed as a possible prize.
by keike49 on November 15, 2025 7:56 AM NST
I visited both the converted and unconverted page and didn't get the avatar
by hyebinahhx3 on November 15, 2025 8:32 AM NST
Didn't get my second spin either. Did it on Chrome on PC.
by go_bruce on November 15, 2025 8:36 AM NST
No Varwolf?
I was hoping they would release it as a part of their Bday celebration.
by maxgarou on November 15, 2025 8:37 AM NST
Happy Birthday, Neopets
by andantena on November 15, 2025 8:46 AM NST
Wheel of Celebration - won the NC Discount Code thing today and now the Watch Ad button is replaced by "Check My Codes" and I don't appear to be able to watch the ad for a 2nd spin.
by glopixi on November 15, 2025 8:52 AM NST
Welp, today I didn't get my second spin even though it's been working for me the previous days. When the page first loaded I got the "Wowee, wasn't that fun?" dialog, as if I'd already spun once, but I was allowed to spin anyway, and then the ad loaded correctly, but the kacheek's dialog refreshed and I wasn't able to spin even though he was encouraging me to spin, so, just adding myself to the list.
On desktop firefox
by mercy_graves on November 15, 2025 8:55 AM NST
oh its not giving me the happy birthday avatar for some reason?
by honeyburnt on November 15, 2025 8:58 AM NST
edit to my previous comment about the avatar:

it only works on the classic new features page apparently!
by honeyburnt on November 15, 2025 9:08 AM NST
I'm not getting a second spin either. I got the NC code for my first spin yesterday and it let me watch an ad for a second, but then didn't actually spin. Today I don't even have the option for an ad.
by bspiral on November 15, 2025 9:59 AM NST
today when i went to spin the wheel, it said "watch an ad for a second spin" however, i had not spun the wheel yet. i watched an ad, the page refreshed, and then gave me the message "come back tomorrow for more spins."

i am too exhausted by real life problems i am dealing with but please tnt, why can't u make things work right out the gate
by labardoodle on November 15, 2025 10:10 AM NST
I spun once, watched an ad, and never got my second spin.

I swear, each update feels like "TNT try not to break Neopets challenge (impossible) (gone wrong)"... I think the day the site is actually fully functioning as intended should be holiday.
by lumanare on November 15, 2025 11:02 AM NST
watched ad...was told to come back tomorrow...guess I should be happy it worked for two days...
by thegreatestneo on November 15, 2025 11:28 AM NST
Hilarious that it works fine when TNT's around but as soon as it's the weekend and there's no one around to fix things, the stupid thing breaks. On their actual birthday. Great job.
Hope everyone who missed out on a spin (or two, if this continues tomorrow, which I'm sure it will) will get compensated :/
by biediep on November 15, 2025 11:42 AM NST
Weird. I spun between midnight and 1am NST and it was working then. The advert did keep saying unavailable, and required page refreshing before it loaded though. iOS using Safari browser.
I got an avatar & 10 defence levels today.
I hope they compensate for missed spins.
by zombii on November 15, 2025 11:49 AM NST
1 pm EST. Ad just worked for me
by dakukuu on November 15, 2025 1:05 PM NST
Nst*
by dakukuu on November 15, 2025 1:06 PM NST
Ditto. I just clicked through the image link from the My Pets page and it prompted me to watch an advert to unlock a second spin.
by weepit on November 15, 2025 1:08 PM NST
i couldnt second spin when i tried immediately after midnight but it finally worked this time!
by sima232005 on November 15, 2025 1:18 PM NST
Yeah, It worked out for me too :o

Guys, try and check It out for those who didn't get a second spin! (and hope no lame prize Is not yoyr reward )
by maninshi on November 15, 2025 1:23 PM NST
Free player on desktop Firefox who couldn't get a second spin earlier today -- it just worked for me too! The button to watch an ad for a free spin finally appeared, in addition to and separate from the 'check my codes' button.
by fellfroschtagge on November 15, 2025 1:30 PM NST
Glad I was wrong and they did fix it! Good for you, TNT
by biediep on November 15, 2025 1:44 PM NST
I still can’t spin for the second time as a premium members… sigh.
by alltimemarr on November 15, 2025 1:47 PM NST
Watch the and but no 2nd Spin
by vtx_11 on November 15, 2025 1:48 PM NST
I am still mortified about how ads features are working everywhere but with the exception of battledome (and maybe hospital shift, but we never got a chance to witness that, I think)

Also, Is It just me or those featured ads to spin a wheel or claim those 1k NPs In homepage will open only once the video ads start to pop up on screen? Like, not the ones we gotta watch, but the ones that appear automatically whenever we go to a webpage It also happens that In the battledome webpages those video ads don't pop up, which Is probably a nice thing
by maninshi on November 15, 2025 2:10 PM NST
I'm a premium member who was robbed of a second spin as well.
by fan__tt on November 15, 2025 3:04 PM NST
I haven't even got my first spin for today. Just logged on for the first time a couple minutes ago and it says I've already spun.
by weygre on November 15, 2025 3:19 PM NST
It'd feel a lot more celebratory if I didn't keep landing on the 25K spot on the wheel. 6/8 times just doesn't feel statistically probable. I submitted a ticket requesting they review the code for the wheel, because people on the NeoBoards and on the FB group are reporting the same thing. It's very frustrating, especially with not getting the wheel avatar last year.
by cheshire420 on November 15, 2025 5:17 PM NST
I feel having the retired avatars has just opened them up to feel the frustrations of too many users. I'd have to land on it six times to get all of them, so it's inevitable there will be some sense of having missed out. For most other users, that sense is probably even worse.

I'm worried that if we complain about it now, they will take it away, and I want to land on it at least once, but it seems that not every spot has an equal likelihood of being landed on, and it's frustrating because if you never land on the space there is nothing you can do about it - you can't buy avatars off other users like you can the stamps and gourmet foods.

Just a shame to have imbued a celebratory birthday event with an inevitable feeling of missing out.
by dennykins on November 15, 2025 6:45 PM NST
@ Someone who works at JN !!!

The link on the dailies page is wrong for the wheel for this year!!!

when you go through the link on the dailies page it says youve spun for the day but I hadnt!
by doodleponie on November 15, 2025 7:38 PM NST
I couldn’t get a second spin and I have premium
by xxsinger on November 15, 2025 8:07 PM NST
@doodleponie we updated the link on our dailies page at 4:15pm back on the 12th.

have you possibly not refreshed the tab since then? or maybe you have the same weird glitch a few others are reporting in here
by kenny on November 15, 2025 8:49 PM NST JN Staff
For those having issues getting their second spin with the anniversary wheel, go to the wheel from the front page. It seems to fix the issue and lets you spin.
by dakajojo on November 15, 2025 11:09 PM NST
Second spin is working for me now. Thanks, TNT!
by dragonair23 on November 15, 2025 11:49 PM NST
2nd spin not working for me anymore (just tried now)
by toucaan on November 16, 2025 12:45 AM NST
Did they fix it?
Still angry they're staying SILENT on the uproar about this year's show of greediness amongst all the bugs. A few world would be appreciated. Still sticking to their guns?
by silvia on November 16, 2025 1:50 AM NST
Today: 25k and NC Item wedge: Chocolate Bonbon Dress
by pooglepearl on November 16, 2025 1:58 AM NST
Free member. Yesterday I watched an ad but didn't get a second spin. Today I get the message there is no ad available to watch.

Yesterday's one spin got me a map piece, today's 25k NP.
by woodstocki on November 16, 2025 2:55 AM NST
the second spin hasn't worked since day one for desktop for me
by tbmisaki on November 16, 2025 4:26 AM NST
I got Lava Monster Stamp from the wheel!
by catamander on November 16, 2025 5:06 AM NST
if i get 25k np again i am going to screammmm all I've gotten are NC discount codes I can't use and np I don't need x0
by kelthulhu on November 16, 2025 7:01 AM NST
I went back 3 times and nope still can’t get my second spin
by xxsinger on November 16, 2025 7:27 AM NST
Guys odd question and unrelated to Wheel of Celebration (to an extent because... but:

When clicking on a videogame from the HTML5 site, Does anybody get sent to an additional website to press "play" then read a blank screen saying "the game will be available after ads Skip ad In seconds.... Loading Game..."? (In my case since I have adbloc on my computer It won't open an ad, but like, that's a new feature, and kinda very unnecessary one

Bringing this up because this one feature Is a really odd one. Like, Is there an Intention with this, like trying to track adblockers or something like that?
by maninshi on November 16, 2025 8:19 AM NST
@maninshi yeah, super annoying. I already find ridiculous there's like two videos playing by themselves and an ad covering the whole page + other ads if you don't have premium/adblocker. The very first time I saw something like that on a browser game
by spongegrundo on November 16, 2025 10:16 AM NST
Oof, after the first day, all I've landed on are 25ks, NC coupon codes, and 1 stat boost. I'd rather have the 25k over the insulting coupon codes, that one easily hurts the most of all.
by animestar on November 16, 2025 10:40 AM NST
I've hit 25k NP, 8 times already. I think my wheel might be broken too, be so for real.
by okimsorry on November 16, 2025 11:52 AM NST
My second spins worked up until today and now getting a message saying that the ad isn't available. Seconding that, other than one item prize, I've only received the 25K NPs and discount code prizes and I try not to be too annoyed about things, but I'll be so annoyed if I'm not able to snag one of the avvies.
by surferboard_girl on November 16, 2025 2:00 PM NST
I also got the "wait for ads before you can skip" message on the HTML5 version of Fashion Fever. I have an ad blocker (no premium) so no video loaded, just made me wait a few seconds, then it reload the game page. Don't like the idea of adding more ads to the site. Even more irritated by the idea that they add it each. tie. you. want. to replay. the game.
by dalekruler on November 16, 2025 2:22 PM NST
My second spins worked up until today and now getting a message saying that the ad isn't available
^
after the jellyneo post yesterday, it worked perfectly fine and today it doesn't work again. It just a fight to get the second spin. I didn't get the avatar last year and I'm sure I will not get it this year. This is just bs. I've got 25k spins on the first and just could spin 1x for the ad watch and it gave me a chia item. I wish tnt would fix it. The site itself without ad block is a mess. Esp. the big ad banner sliding in from the bottom to 1/3 of my screen or even better is the big ad all over the screen. Why isn't that enough? Why do we have to load an special ad, who doesn't work 90% of the time.
by nataliea on November 16, 2025 2:29 PM NST
I have premium but my second spin is broken
by blue82182001 on November 16, 2025 4:45 PM NST
getting codes for a prize stinks, but its even worse when you get the same thing 3 days in a row. ALL TO GET US TO BUY... WHAT A GREAT THING FOR KIDS!!!
by katerinx on November 16, 2025 5:37 PM NST
The Y27BIRTHDAY code isn't working for me
by thrixxy on November 16, 2025 9:55 PM NST
I lost two free spins.
by xxsinger on November 16, 2025 9:58 PM NST
I got the 25k twice today!!
and before i got the codes twice!!
codes i need the NC for that we only got 260!?
As a 23+ year player this is ridiculous. Its sucking the fun out of the birthday, and becoming a wheel of disappointment.
"guess im going to spin 25k or codes today!"

I keep getting 25k, this is ridiculous. take those two off, please TNT.

I feel like when I was a kid, watching some other kid celebrate their big birthday, and i got handed a "goodie bag" with some fake money......pretty close. -__-
by imaginationodd13 on November 16, 2025 10:32 PM NST
to add to my last comment, i think they should make up for it by keeping it going through November.
And seriously taking off the 25k and codes,
by imaginationodd13 on November 16, 2025 10:35 PM NST
Like everyone else, all I keep landing on is 25k neopoints. Yay, I suppose.. but like.. what the french, toast?
by shaymusall on November 17, 2025 2:53 AM NST
It would be nice to land on something else besides the neopoint wedge
by jadebinkx100 on November 17, 2025 4:44 AM NST
Yea my last 2 days of spins have both been 25k np :/ it would be great to actually get some prizes. Tnt had a year to tweak the wheel but yet it feels like we are getting the exact same issues as last year. Started with the missing spins and then it was the same prize every spin and iirc there was another issue after that.
by weygre on November 17, 2025 5:01 AM NST
Ever since the 16th, I've only been able to spin once as it starts me on the second spin for some reason. I am a Premium player.
I sent in a ticket yesterday and have not received a response yet.
by starleogirl09 on November 17, 2025 6:30 AM NST
Still having trouble getting that second ad/spin to work. It seems to help to spin one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but then it still takes several refreshes.

Today's were 2x the 25k NP. The balance seems a little out of whack. I don't think I'm getting any avatars off this.
by woodstocki on November 17, 2025 7:53 AM NST
Really wish with all the amazing prizes available they hadn't included a neopoints wedge. Also, landing on the NC codes a second time should grant some kind of consolation prize (or they should find a way to change the mechanics of the wheel so you only land on that wedge once and can't again).
by hlf1997 on November 17, 2025 9:03 AM NST
Actually yeah agree with other users here that they should do away with the codes wedge entirely, since most of us don't have that much NC for them to be worth anything anyway! I really saved the screenshot of mine as if I don't only have 310 NC.
by hlf1997 on November 17, 2025 9:06 AM NST
Some suggestions: get rid of the NC codes, make an extra spin for premium users, lower the chance rate of landing on the neopoints item because it seems high and most people are landing on it.
by j3nnyx on November 17, 2025 10:07 AM NST
They could replace the NC code with an extra spin like Wheel of Knowledge does (which I dislike anyway )
by maninshi on November 17, 2025 11:18 AM NST
My ad hardly ever works and when I finally get it to work it freezes and I'm stuck on a screen forever....
by singing1633 on November 17, 2025 10:02 PM NST
They actually made a Anniversary Korbat token *wipes tears from my eyes* they remember my favorite little guy!
by dumbby on November 18, 2025 9:42 AM NST
ugh still haven't had a single cool thing from the wheel, very icky no good
by monster on November 18, 2025 10:33 AM NST
Landed on gourmet food and received Flotsam Fin Soup, which I see is not yet listed in your guide
