2017 Rundown
This year's Daily Dare is back for in its usual spring slot. If you've never played before, this is a good place to start to get the rundown on how the event will be laid out and what you need to do.

Daily Dare FAQ
This year's set of daily challenges starts on March 20th and lasts through April 9th. Each day throughout the event, you get to challenge either Chadley or Abigail in a featured game. The goal of the challenge is to beat their scores by playing the game yourself and sending a score that beats either Chadley's or Abigail's posted score.
You may challenge them by visiting the Daily Dare Main Page. You cannot challenge both of them in a single day, but you can alter between Chadley and Abigail from day to day.
Difficulty Levels
Typically, Chadley's scores are higher than Abigail's and more challenging to beat. Before you select who to challenge, you're free to play a couple rounds of that day's game to see how you feel about choosing Chadley. Once you choose your opponent, you are not allowed to change your choice.
Other Information
Just like any other day, you may only send your scores in a game 3 times per day to receive Neopoints. In previous years, you would also be able to complete a challenge by sending your score after the initial 3 score sends of the day, but this is no longer the case. You must complete your challenges (whether it's the daily, double dare, or team challenges) within the first 3 score sends of the day.
If you complete each challenge on the day it was released, you will win a bonus prize in addition to the regular Chadley or Abigail prize. This is in lieu of your trophy at the end of the event being dependent on completing challenges on the release day.
Since this event awards items and Neopoints, you cannot complete any aspect of it on your side accounts.
Once you've completed a challenge, you must return to the main page and click on the box to receive your prizes. To return to a previous day's challenge, click on the corresponding pin on the map.
Strategy
Who should you go up against? Abigail or Chadley? Chadley's prize will almost always be more valuable simply because his scores are so high and not as many Neopians will be winning them. Luckily, there is a little method to get the best possible prize.
Before choosing who to challenge, play the game. Try to score as high as you can. Once you get a satisfying score that either beats Chadley or Abigail, do not send it! Go back to the Daily Dare page and challenge the appropriate person with a score lower than or equal to yours. Then you can go back and send the score, and it will count for the challenge! (Try to beat Chadley's score though. Some days, it is not as hard as you think!) Always try to complete each challenge the day it was released for the extra bonus prize.
The Double Dare Challenge
This challenge will be offered once or twice each week during the course of the Daily Dare. You can choose whether or not you want to accept it, but once you make your decision, it is final. To accept the challenge, you must challenge and defeat Chadley. If you fail, you will receive no prize for the day. You can complete the challenge another day and still receive Chadley and Abigail's prize, but you will not qualify for the bonus prize.
The Team Challenge
Team Challenge Hub
Three team challenges will be given this year. They will start on a Friday and last through Sunday. You will be able to challenge another user to go up against Chadley's or Abigail's scores for whatever that Friday's game challenge was. If you both beat the score you chose, you will be awarded a team challenge bonus prize in addition to any daily prizes earned.
Here is the complete schedule of when team challenges will be available:
- Friday, March 24th - Sunday, March 26th
- Friday, March 31st - Sunday, April 2nd
- Friday, April 7th - Sunday, April 9th
When a team challenge is available, you must visit the Team Challenge Hub to invite a Neofriend to play before you send your score. You can also click the Team Challenge icon on the main Daily Dare page:
You must also select to challenge Chadley or Abigail. Your teammate must also be willing to pick the same opponent—so only pick a teammate who can beat Chadley if that's who you wish to challenge.
After your teammate accepts your invite (or you accept your teammate's invite), you may now play the game and send your winning score. When both of you have done so, you will receive the bonus prize. If either of you fails to beat the challenge by Sunday, neither of you will receive the Team Challenge bonus item.
