Tia's Seasonal Exchange - Cookout Season Sizzle
The "Tia's Seasonal Exchange - Cookout Season Sizzle" event began on July 31, 2025. According to the in-game countdown, participation will last through August 27, with the prize shop remaining open through September 2.
Upon opening the app, a pop-up will inform the player of the event. All players who play Faerie Fragments during the duration of the event participate automatically; nothing special is needed to activate it!
The event can be accessed at any time by clicking the chef hat icon in the upper left corner of the overworld screen.
Event Participation
The event involves collecting Bronze Coins primarily by clearing levels.
- Regular levels award 20
- Hard levels award 30
- Very Hard levels award 40
- Champion levels award 25
- Tower levels award 10
- Side Story levels award 20
However, there is an option to boost these values by 50% for a limited amount of time! To activate this, open the event interface and press the grey star icon to the far left. You can boost for 4 hours for 2,000 or 24 hours for 3,500.
You can track how much time is left on an active boost in a few different places.

Daily Quests
In addition to coins earned by clearing levels, you can earn even more coins by completing Daily Quests. These can be accessed by clicking the icon in the lower right corner on the event screen.
Five quests are available to you each day, resetting nightly at 2:30am NST. (Depending on your screen width, you may have to scroll down a bit to see the fifth quest.) These offer up to 100 extra each day in addition to any you earn from clearing levels.
The quests will have the following requirements:
- 30 for clearing 1 main story level.
- 20 each for three of the below quest types.
- Matching a certain number of a specific basic tile in main story levels: 30, 30, 30, or 30.
- Generating a certain number of a specific special tile in main story levels: 5, 5, 5, or 1.
- Clearing 5 main story levels.
- Using a certain character's ability 5 times.
- Using a pre-level booster 1 time. These refer to the Missile, Bomb, or Nova Rod you can select prior to starting a level. (Boosters from "unlimited for X minutes" rewards do not count.)
- Using a powerup item 1 time. These refer to the Mini Wand, Mega Wand, Magic Gloves, or Rainbow Negg you can activate while playing a level.
- Changing a partner Neopet's appearance in the Closet.
- Buying a new clothing item in the Closet. This may require you to spend at least 1,000, however, unlocking clothing items from the event also counts!
- 10 for completing any three other daily quests.
You can only progress these quests from tiles matched or generated directly by you; tiles that are cleared or generated as a result of a combo or during the level-end process do not count. You also can only progress these quests from actions on levels you complete; if you fail a level, you will not earn any progress from actions during that failed attempt.
Rewards
Upon reaching specific thresholds of Bronze Coins, you will automatically unlock in-app rewards. There is one set of "Event Rewards" available for free; an additional set of "Premium Rewards" are available by purchasing a pass for $6.99 (or equivalent local currency) through August 13th, or $9.99 (or equivalent local currency) after August 13th. If you purchase the pass after reaching some thresholds, those Premium Rewards will be granted at the time of purchase.
The Premium Rewards are shown in the top row, while the regular Event Rewards are in the bottom row. The thresholds required are listed in between them.
When you have rewards available, the event icon will show a green "Open" button. To claim the rewards, simply visit the event page after reaching the required threshold. Your prizes will be granted automatically.
Neopets.com Rewards
Additionally, a special Neopets.com item award is available for earning 3,000. You can track your progress towards this by clicking on the image of the book on the far right side of the event screen.

Event Shop
In addition to rewards unlocked by reaching certain milestones, an event shop has been added for this event. The shop allows players to use accumulated Bronze Coins to purchase items; there is both an "In Game items" section and a "Neopets.com items" section.
Neopets.com Items
This section works a little differently. Each player may redeem Bronze Coins for a maximum of one of each item during the course of the event. However, the stock of each item is limited per week. Once the stock has been claimed, no more of that item are available until the stock refreshes the following Thursday morning at 2am NST. Due to this limitation, only up to 1,200 players will be able to redeem for the most valuable prize—the Fire Breathing Scorchio Stamp—even if many others qualify.
According to the in-app event announcement, restocks are planned for August 7, 14, and 21. However, a specific time within those dates is not yet known.

There is a total of 9,250 of limited items, comprised of the below:
- 4,100 for Fragments
- 1,000 for event-exclusive wearables
- 4,150 for coins, tokens, lives, power-ups, and boosters
If you have earned even more than 9,250, you can exchange 40 for 10 an unlimited number of times.
If you have already collected 20 from this event and/or previous events, you will not be able to purchase the Fragments; attempting to do so will present an error message. This just means you are free to spend on other things!
