Enviroment

See also: List of Neopian worlds

The entire game takes place on (or in orbit around) the planet of Neopia. The main setting is Neopia Central, a city where the main stores are based. There are also different themed settings, called worlds: Tyrannia (prehistoric), Faerieland (faeries), Mystery Island (Polynesian), Haunted Woods (Halloween/spooky), Krawk Island (pirates), Lost Desert (Ancient Egyptian), Maraqua (Underwater), Terror Mountain (winter/Christmas), Virtupets Space Station (Space station), Kreludor (moon), Meridell (medieval), and Brightvale (medieval with an emphasis on knowledge and enlightenment, à la the Renaissance).

There are also mini worlds and sub-worlds, such as Roo Island, Kiko Lake, and The Lost City of Geraptiku. Each of these worlds (which are, in reality, more like regions or settings) has unique shops, games, and activities pertaining to its theme.

These worlds are generally introduced through in-game plots that involve their "discovery" or "destruction". For example, Maraqua (underwater) was originally destroyed by Captain Dread and his pirates in one plot-line, but has been rebuilt and reopened as a result of the "Curse of Maraqua" storyline. In the most recent plot, Qasala was discovered in the Lost Desert.

There have also been hints of the other side of Neopia, since only one side of the planet is shown. It is believed this is where Jelly World and Altador, the "other side" of Neopia, are located. It is possible that it will be revealed in Winter 2006.

In addition to the visible worlds, there are also places inaccessible via the map. Jelly World is the only one currently in existence. Jelly World's existance is constantly "denied" by the Neopets staff, but it is one of the most well known secrets in Neopets.

Gameplay

There are many activities a Neopets player can perform to advance towards a goal. They can train their pets to become fighters to participate in the occasional wars that occur, usually when new worlds are "discovered", as well as just to fight against the regular built in challengers, or challenge other pets. They can also become merchants, collecting and selling expensive items. People can also send in their drawings or stories and become known for their creative skills.

Most of the games on the site are divided into three categories: puzzle, action, and luck/chance.

The action games are arcade-like games. They include games like "Hannah and the Ice Caves", a multi-levelled game where you guide the characters Hannah and her sidekick Armin through increasingly difficult icy caves while collecting treasure and avoiding snow beasts. Puzzle games are games requiring some thought during gameplay, such as "Spell-or-Starve," a game where you must spell words by clicking letters on the screen. Luck/chance games include various slot machine games such as "Brucey B. Slots" and other gambling themed games. Luck games also include games such as hide-and-seek and card games such as Krawps (craps).
