What's New at Jellyneo: May 2026

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.



Mega Mini Game Collection Guide
The first Neopets console game in over 15 years released at the end of March. Last month we debuted our guide! Check it out for a rundown of Story & Arcade modes as well full lists of games, cheat codes, and achievements:



Neopets Companion App Guide
The Neopets Companion App has been getting small but steady updates since its launch in January, so we set up an overview guide to keep up:



Kiko Match III Guide
One of the games on the Companion App is Kiko Match III, and we now have a guide covering this brand new game.



PAX East Recap
Neopets attended PAX East 2026 in Boston, MA, on March 26–29. Scroll through our recap for pics and details of the booth, merch, fan meetup, official panel, and a speedrun of Neopets: The Darkest Faerie!



Spring Trivia
We brought back our Spring Trivia event! Each day for 8 days, visitors had the ability to answer a spring-themed trivia question. 25 random players who answered all 8 questions correctly each day were chosen to win a PAX East 2026 exclusive prize code!



Neovision History
Our retrospective article on Neovision, the bygone videomaking creative contest, has been enhanced with modern conversions of some archive Flash files and a survey of known contest themes!



Unreleased Pet Artwork Update
We've overhauled our compendium of unreleased pet artwork at the Book of Ages. What was once a loose gallery is now much more organized and with some added context. We've also added quite a few recent archeological finds and submissions!



Banner Ad Archives
Our archive of banner ads from the original "yellow sidebar" site layout has been expanded with 124(!) additional images. These were originally created in Flash, but have been converted to a modern format for your viewing pleasure!



Cheapest Painted Petpet Options
We've updated our At the Petpet Puddle section on item info pages in the Item Database. Now, the cheapest paintable petpet will be displayed as the best option for painting the petpet you're viewing.


For example, you may want to paint a Ghost Sharky instead of a more expensive regular Sharky to make a Green Sharky!



Wheel of Monotony Grease
Our Wheel of Monotony Guide has been updated with information on the newly released "greasing" speed-up mechanic.



April Fools' 2026 Recap
Our coverage of TNT's annual April Fools' pranks has been updated for 2026.



Creative Contest Prize Pool Update
TNT has once again updated the Creative Contest prize pool late last month, and we've begun re-upating our guide with confrimed prizes. If you recently won the Art Gallery, Caption Contest, Neopian Times, or Storytelling Contest, let us know what you won by submitting a contact form. (You might also get a Neomail from noileh, our honcho on this initiative!)



The Void Within Coverage
The Void Within finally returned last month with Act IV, and we've covered it breathlessly!

We have a guide for the new plot game, Puzzles of the Past.


We likewise have a guide for the new Adventure Pass feature.


Our prize shop guide is up-to-date with a battery of new prizes added alongside the relaunch:


The relaunch saw the start of Altador Attack II, including the Voided Blighthound challenger with exclusive prizes! Check out our guides for the most accurate current mechanics and prizes:


And our Story and Achievements guides were updated with the new additions to each:


Finally, we have a guide for the new Neocash event tie-in, Gifts from the Rift.



Festival of Neggs
The Festival of Neggs 2026 concluded on April 15. We kept our guide updated each day with the location of the hidden neggs and the final prizes!

Similarly, we have all the details on the Festival's Neocash component, Dip & Dye Neggs.



Tales of Dacardia
Tales of Dacardia once again held a Donation Drive. We have a guide up covering the mechanics and prizes:


Captain QuickFinger also rotated the stock in his Travelling Treasure Trove, and we added a value guide for that too:



Faerie Fragments
Last month we rolled out a guide for Badge Collection in Faerie Fragments, a new feature to earn additional prizes through different types of gameplay.


We've also updated our Neopets.com Rewards and Achievements guide with the slew of new prizes added in the last update:


And of course, an event guide for the recently concluded Enchanted Egg Hunt, whose prize shop remains open through May 5.



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!

Hey The link to the Banner Ad Archives is pointing to Neovision; I think you meant to link it to https://bookofages.jellyneo.net/history/layout-banners/ ?
It's an awesome resource, I was really hit by a wave of nostalgia when I started to browse them!
by blue_star_51 on May 3, 2026 4:27 PM NST
Thank you so much for all your work! I use your resources daily, and I would be lost without them. You make playing neopets much better, and easier to manage with the massive amount of items and information. We appreciate you!

@blue_star_51: Oops, all fixed!

fr, the JN staff are more responsive and helpful (and clear and communicative!) than the actual TNT staff. thank you for all the hard work.

Why is the jigsaw puzzle addict avatar so huge? That... has to be an error?
by sakaarson on May 4, 2026 1:32 AM NST
I'd comment at length about all JN does for us, month after month, so faithfully.

But I wore out my scrolling finger, just going down that marvelous monthly archive of achievements.

Go, Congealed Ones, Go!!!!!
