Food Club Timing Issue Resolved

Posted by Kenny on February 11, 2026, 4:16 pm NST

A longstanding bug with Food Club has been addressed by TNT!


The ability to place bets is always closed from 1:45pm to 2:15pm each day. The Food Club round was meant to complete during this time, but ever since the server transition to Jumpstart in 2014 it has drifted a few seconds later each day. As of yesterday, rounds were closing ~5:25pm, an accumulated drift of over 3 hours!

Round 9777, which began last night, concluded today at the as-designed 2:15pm time, and bets are now open for Round 9778! If you have reminders to bet, make sure you adjust them accordingly!

Oh my GOSH FINALLY!!!
I sent in questions to the editorial SO MANY TIMES!
I mean, my question was if they could just get rid of the stupid closed gates as they served literally no purpose anymore.. but it's something.

I usually place my bets before I go to bed, which more often than not is actually exactly when the stupid gates are closed so I usually placed them right after they reopen and then go to bed... So I'm going to REALLY have to remind myself to place them earlier now.

A few years ago, I could check results after the news. Then after nap. Then closer to 8:30.

Now they're actually done when they're supposed to be, so 5:15 my time? I can't believe it, either!

i liked some of the oddities with the drifting clock stuff. i really miss the games high score reset table night when you had like a mad dash of a little window of time to get on fresh leaderboards. either spam as many games as fast as you can and pray its enough, or buckle down and focus on a couple games and try hard to get good scores.

Removing food club will help kill the bots. So of course they'll never do that!

Nice! Do you think they they will also fix NP lottery timer?

Isn't anyone concerned how this might affect the mega-botters?!

I feel so lost ngl, since there Is some coffee break thingy time or Idk what exactly It Is x _x

@dakukuu there's several other things affected by the time drift...in addition to Lottery, the Wishing Well and Trophy script come to mind. I'm sure there's at least a couple others not top of mind. would love to have them address all of these.

I would also venture to guess that this was not "fixed" so much as they managed to reset it. it's probably still drifting. but it won't matter til it drifts past the gates-closed window again, which will take a long time.

FYi, it seems they changed mystery pic rarity items. Just received r97 Neopias Past book. Next week's reward is Serpentine Dervish Plushie, r99. Didn't notice any official news about this, maybe they listened to feedback?
