BREAKING NEWS
After a recent period of calm, moderate weather conditions it has now started Raining in Marada - just as our scientists predicted! The last time Marada had rain, it sadly developed into the destructive Storm Maranormous. Could this be the reason for King Baspinar's self isolation? Does he know something that we do not? As always, whenever there is Rain in Marada the following happens:

The rain has brought with it stronger winds, causing the Windmill to spin faster and generate more electricity. You will be guaranteed to gain a stat for your pet from it and all electricity bills will be FREE at the Power Station.

Completing a level on any Mission during this rain and you'll win a random Umbrella for your Wardrobe.


The Books, CDs, DVDs and Video Game Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items to help you keep your pets entertained inside while it rains.

The rain has made the Lake in Lush Lake flood. For your own safety, you cannot currently visit.

With Lush Lake flooded from the rain, the Coffee, Contact Lenses, Hair Dye, Lipsticks and Olympic Shops are all closed.

With the miserable rainy weather outside, pets are concentrating better at School, the Gym, Elite Gym and University and earning Double Stats.

Pets are all working harder at their jobs as it rains outside. This means there is TRIPLE the chance of receiving a Job Promotion random event and DOUBLE the chance of the promotion actually being given by your pet's boss!

While you wait for the bad weather to pass, why not play our Puzzle Games? All games with a Daily Raffle will have double winners for each prize! For example, the Solitaire raffle now has two winners of £5 Account Upgrade Credits and four winners of £2 Account Upgrade Credits

This rain has the residents of Marada doing a lot more indoor activities, like Shopping. But it also is a chance for Shopkeepers like you to increase your shop sales and the amount of items you have on sale! Upgrading your Shop Size is currently Half Price!

And finally, Queen Eleka will be giving out extra FREE Loyalty Raffle Tickets for players who fill up and price their own Shops. While she won't reveal her secret formula, the more new items you add and price in your Shop, the more extra tickets she will give out!

BREAKING NEWS

BREAKING NEWS
For centuries archeologists have been trying to uncover the secrets of the lost world of Simeria without success. The Simerian Explorer first realised that Runes were the key to understanding its ancient language but this still wasn't enough. Several missing letters from this ancient language were found at the top of a newly discovered Simerian Temple, unknown to residents until Storm Maranormous cleared the forest that was hiding it from view. Can you rescue these missing Runes from the top of the temple?

To play Rune Rescue you must gently click and destroy each temple block under the Rune to bring it closer to the ground, where archeologists can reach it. Be careful - each temple block is a different shape and the game will end if the Rune falls off the side.

Earn 1MP per 2 points. Earn up to the maximum of 2,000MP each play. Rune Rescue can be played up to 3 times per day.

BREAKING NEWS
Baspinar's Castle was the first world in Marada to have electricity but they named it magic. The King still powers his castle using the same Windmill that first brought this magic energy to Marada. Legend has it that each blade of this windmill represents a different type of energy - Strength, Defence, Speed, Level, Health and of course, Magic.

The Windmill is powered by the wind and is totally dependent on the current weather in Marada. Visit on a normal day and you can stop it from spinning. If you land on one of the six magical blades, your pet will receive a stat. If you have the Pet Stats Giftbox in your collection, you can also select which pet will receive this stat before you play!

Visit when the weather in Marada changes and this Windmill gets very interesting...

You can play the Windmill for FREE once per day. Game resets at 00:00MST.

Another of our oldest features, One in a Million has been relaunched as Prize Drop in Lush Lake.

You can play this game for FREE once every 16 hours. All of the same prizes have been moved over to this game and new ones have been added - we've made it less frequent so that payouts can improve!

Whenever you play Prize Drop you choose which position you would like to drop the ball from. There are ten different balls and you will be given one at random each game. Each ball has a different weight, different speed and different prizes! For example, the Beach Ball is painfully slow to drop but has better prizes, the Bowling Ball is so heavy it drops so fast you could blink and miss it if it didn't smash all of the pieces on its way down! There is even a Bootleg Ball that stops and gives you a very creepy stare as it falls!



When the ball finishes its journey down to the bottom, you will win the prize at the bottom. The first prize (first from the left) is either a Millionaire Plushie or Enchanted Millionaire Plushie from the prize list. The second prize is a random Gym stat for one of your pets. The third prize is nothing, while the fourth prize position is a random, smaller amount of MP. The fifth prize slot is a random School or University stat. Land in the sixth prize slot (the one far right) and you'll win a higher prize of MP - which can reach as high as 1,000,000MP for some balls!

BREAKING NEWS
It's been a crazy six weeks since King Baspinar's Palladium Jubilee celebrations ended. Vortex Park has been thriving since its rebuild and the pirates of Dukka Caves have been busy with new, top secret construction projects.

No one has seen or heard from the King in over a month. He ended his celebrations in anger, launching his sword into the new Sword in the Stone and locking himself away in his castle. The residents of Marada are not sure what to make of it.

Why is the King on self-imposed lockdown? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough! In the meantime, have your umbrellas ready - rain is forecast for Marada this week...A new Royal Treasure Chest is on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire June 30th. You can open this item to receive 8 different, random new items, including new clothes, wigs, footwear, minipet, gourmet food, weapons and accessories. You will not receive duplicate items inside a single treasure chest.







A new 'Royal Palace' experience has been released. Can you find it?

A new game has been added to Candyland. After the Great Gingerbread Crisis of 2001, Candyland started to construct its houses with a newer, more flexible material - Gummy Bricks. Houses made with these bricks are just as delicious as Gingerbread Houses and they come in nine different shapes. You'll be given three of these different shaped bricks at once.

BREAKING NEWS
The first of a new type of Game has been released. Pearl Hurl has been added to Jenoa and is our first game to have levels for you to complete and unlock. Jenoa has been home for the Clam for thousands of years but divers (and more recently the Quack Mafia) have been stealing his pearls. Stop more of these pearls being stolen in Pearl Hurl. Aim and tap for the Clam to hurl his pearl towards the chain of pearls about to be stolen. Match three or more of the same colour pearl to save them. If you manage to rescue all pearls in time you will complete the level.




Pearl Hurl (and future, similar games) will work differently to the other games we have. You can play Pearl Hurl up to 4 times per day for FREE. Earn 1MP per 10 points. Earn up to the maximum of 2,000MP each play. Game resets at 00:00MST.

What makes this game different is that there are 40 levels for you to complete. Levels get progressively harder but your score will also increase for each level. When you play a level and the game is over, you will have the choice to send score like you do with the other games.

Play and complete a level for the first time and you must send score to unlock the next level. Each level of the game has a new type of Level Reward you will win whenever you complete a level. These can only be won once per level, per player.

The main Level Rewards for this game are the chance to skip any level of the Clam Mission and a Capsule Machine Token.
There are 15 levels that you will earn this reward, they stack and will be saved to your account to use at the Clam whenever you need to.
Whenever you start a Clam mission, you can use one of these to pass the level without bringing the items that the Clam has asked for. You will move to the next level of the mission but you will forfeit any MP or item reward that mission level was to reward you but still gain any Hidden Avatar and pass any Goal related to that mission.

While the other games have Bonus Prizes (that you may randomly win as you play) these level based games will not. They will still have High Score Rewards, with these extra prizes earned each time you reach a certain score, and these will be released with the High Scores List for this game in the future.

A new game has been added to Jenoa. You can play Echo for FREE once per day.

Equilor have the worst memory. They swim around Jenoa making friends and having conversations but they forget it seconds later. These four Equilor will each make sounds and you will need to remember the correct sequence and repeat it back to them. The score will increase each time you repeat the sequence correctly. The sequence becomes progressively harder and longer and the game will end whenever you echo the wrong sequence.

You will earn 500MP per point for the first ten points, 400MP for the next ten points and so on. Any scores above 50 will earn an extra 100MP per point scored. Score 5 or more points and you will also receive a random School Stat for your pet. Remember, with the Pet Stats Giftbox in your collection, you can select which pet will receive the stat before you play!

A new game has been added to Dukka Caves. You can play Word Pirate for FREE once per day.

The pirates of Dukka Caves are always on the move, sailing the seas of Marada looking for more treasure. As they travel, they experience new languages and new words. Are you a Word Pirate? Prove it! You have 10 minutes to find as many three characters or more words (including common Marapets words) as you can. You can find words from any letters in the grid. Simply drag and highlight any connected letters, in any direction, to spell a word.

Pirating Tip - as you can spell words in every single direction, creating lines up, down, left, right, diagionally, backwards, forwards, etc it can take a little practice working the controls - especially using a mouse. We suggest that you do not send score on your first try but instead practice using the controls first, as you often need to create a line from the middle of each box in the grid.

Earn 4MP per point, up to a maximum of 7,500MP per day.
Each letter on the grid has a number on it. This is used to calculate your score, by adding up the numbers of each letter you use. This will then be multiplied by the number of letters in the word - the longer the word you find, the more points you'll earn!
Over 400,000 words are in the Word Pirate dictionary. However, only a limited number of three letter words (those most commonly used in the english language) will count.

You can also win between One Dukka Coin and Ten Dukka Coin each time you enter. The chances of winning these bonus prizes increase each time you find a long (or high scoring) word. You may also be one of three daily winners of a Two Hundred And Fifty Dukka Coin.

A new game has been added to Biala Mountain. You can play Dominoes for FREE once every 8 hours.

Play a Dominoes match against Booth, Sleuth and Ruth the Newth. Dominoes are played in a chain on the table, with each tile connected with matching ends. Each player must play one of their tiles on their turn or they hit an iceberg. The game ends whenever a player places their last domino on the table. The winner will score the combined value of their opponent's unplayed dominoes. The first player to reach 100 or more points will win.

These Newths have been in living in Biala Mountain for hundreds of years and have never missed a day of the Advent Calendar. Each day they will pick a random retired item from the past Prize List and will each give two of them away.

Win a Dominoes match against the Newths for 4,000MP and two entries to their daily raffle. Lose a match and you'll win 400MP and one entry.

You could be one of six daily winners of Greatest Hits by Syn D the prize selected for today! Raffle prize changes daily at 00:00MST.

Mill starts with each player, in turns, adding one of their nine pieces on an intersection of a horizontal and a vertical line of the grid.

Once both players have all of their pieces on the board, they must move one of their pieces to an adjacent free space when it's their turn. Capture seven of your opponent's pieces (so that they cannot create another Mill) to win. You cannot capture a piece from a Mill unless there are no other pieces to take. If your opponent cannot make a move on their turn you will also win the game.

Win, lose or draw and you may also be one of three daily winners of a random retired item from his Prize List. We have selected 60 retired items from past Halloween and Undying Festival events as his daily raffle prizes.

As we have mentioned in the past, having over 22,500 of our 59,000 items retired (with their supply shrinking each day) isn't sustainable or fun. When we first started over fifteen years ago, retiring items forever seemed like a good idea because no thought was given then for a decade and a half into the future! Items will still continue to retire but it's meaning has changed several times over the years. One thing that hasn't changed though is that once an item retires, it will never be re-released to be easier, cheaper or more readily avaliable than when the item was first introduced!

Another of our oldest features has been relaunched. The Anagram Sam game in Dukka Caves never made sense, it asked you to complete puzzles so difficult the only way most people could win was by cheating and even if you did manage it without, it wasn't fun! We revamped the artwork for Sam months ago waiting for the final version of the game to be released and here it is!

You can play Anagram Sam for FREE once every hour. Sam is a Crikey who likes to swim in and around the waters of Dukka Caves. He helps to keep the Dukka Town Item Wishlists organised, and knows everything about every item in Marada and loves to play games with them.
Sam will give you six different letter tiles he found floating by and you will have 90 Seconds to try and solve as many of the words (words only found in Marapets item names) he has chosen that contain only these letters.

Once the time is up, he will reveal all of the words he selected and reward you for each word you guessed correctly.
You will earn 25MP for each letter in each word you guess correctly.
If you manage to solve his special bonus word (shown on the golden yellow tiles) you will earn 100MP for each letter in this word.
You will also gain one entry to his daily raffle per play.


Anagram Sam may also reward you with a special bonus prize from his Prize List each time you play. Sam loves letters so much, his bonus prizes include many items that have letters on them, such as Hieroglyphics, Runes and Toy Blocks!

There will be three daily winners of a random Blood prize based on raffle entries earned.

A new game has been released in Dukka Caves. You can play our Colours game for FREE once every 16 hours. This new game is very similar to the classic card game of Crazy Eights and the Mattel brand game of UNO.

The winner is the first player to have no remaining cards. On a player's turn, they must play a card that matches the number, colour or symbol of the card on the table, play a wild card (if they have one) or pick up a new card, which they can play if it's possible.There are also several action cards in the game, forcing players to pick up extra cards, miss their next move or change the directon of play. It's important to remember that when you only have one card remaining, you must press the 1 Button on the table or you'll have to pick up two more cards!
