Treats Exchange & Candy Shop Opening + Sweet Battle winners

Hey Chobots,

I am here today with exciting news to deliver! To start, the Chobots Team have fixed a couple of glitches that our users were experiencing with the 'Halloween Treats' exchange earlier on - as of now, you should find that it works smoothly. Along with updating and re-writing the exchange system completely, the Candy Shop has also been renovated, offering exclusive items at affordable prices. It will officially open in November.

Additionally, all sold out shop items have been restocked. Brand new items will be purchasable in due course, when the specific in-stock amount runs out! Click here to browse the Candy Shop.

FAQ:

How do I earn treats? As we've mentioned before, you can earn them by accepting and completing any of the in-game quests. To name a few: The Reaper, Choproff, Chistochob, and Samantha will reward you. Upon completion, you will receive 2 treats.

What do I do with the treats? How does the exchange system work? Once you have surpassed 200 treats (with at least this many), they can be exchanged for 15 candies. You will be prompted the messsage:

click "yes" to receive 10 candies

What are candies for? Candies are used as the currency of the "Candy Shop", hence the name. You can buy candies with a credit card (please ask for your parent(s)' permission), or you may earn and trade in treats to obtain them. When you have enough candies to pay for your desired item, hit the arrow button to be redirected. You will be asked to log in to confirm your purchase. Your item(s) should be appear on your Chobot shortly after you refresh.

Congratulations to Laceh, Firexavina, and Courtney! You all will receive your prizes very shortly!

If you didn't win don't worry! There will be more contests coming your way!

Halloween Party Recap! Sweet Battle Contest!

Hey Chobots!

We hope you all had a fun time celebrating Halloween with us, as much as we enjoyed hosting it! The party featured lots and lots of cool magic, exclusive Halloween items were rained, and Shadow and Rain played awesome music for our users to jam and dance to. Here are some pictures to recap (thanks to Bebot for the screenshots!):

It was spooky, and rather scary too as the Chlos Lab was dimly lit. Thank you all for coming, and for making this year's Halloween party a blast. With that being said, we hope you are still energised from the bash because another highly competitive contest has started! The Sweet Battle scoreboards close in a week from today. 

Here's your chance to win - head over to the Park or Rope Street with one or more friends! Be ready to engage in a friendly fight competition with sweets and food - good luck to all Chos who wish to participate. And of course, champions to earn the highest points will be rewarded sweet prizes!! Lastly, if you notice anything suspicious or cheating, do immediately report to support@chotopia.us with proof through visuals. 

Have fun playing,

Katic

More Halloween Updates + Party

Hey Chobots!

Before we begin, The Chobots Team would like to share a special video with you all in honour of Halloween. Below is the video clip of "This is Halloween", a Chobots cover by our talented Katara. For this excellent CMV demonstrating fantastic video editing skills, she will be rewarded a camera!

Next, the catalogues have been restocked with Halloween items and costumes for you to dress your Chobot in. These special occasion clothes arrive in the shop only once a year - I suggest you purchase them now before they're gone! 

Lastly, we are celebrating Halloween early this year! Calling all witches, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, zombies... Join us for a spooky celebration on Saturday, October 24 at 7pm cho-time. Expect there to be rain, fog, lots of scary magic, and music at this un-boo-lievably fun party! Let's get ghoulish and have a spooktacular time!

Gamezone Contests & Announcements

Hello Chobots,

You suggested and we listened! As promised for this next round of contests, we've decided to host an Asteriod and Robofactory contest - the two scoreboards have officially opened, so head on over to the Gamezone right now to start competing! Good luck to all contestants, you have until the 24th of this month to rack up the most points. There will be rewards for the top three players.

With that being said, there are several more announcements to be made. Moving on, I'd like to personally congratulate our three newest agents: Bebot, Katara, and Twixie. Welcome to the team! I admire how hardworking you've all been as such helpful members of the Cho community.

And of course.... Halloween is in less than two weeks! The Chobots Team would like to remind you that not only will The Reaper shower you with Halloween treats if you complete his quest, but so will Choproff, and Samantha (to name a few) will reward you. These can be exchanged for cool items (work in progress), but hurry, as these offers will only last for so long.

Have fun,
Katic

Halloween Updates, October Drawing Contest

Hey Chobots!

With Halloween nearing, the days are only growing spookier and spookier! If you hadn't already noticed, the air is suddenly misty, fallen autumn leaves scatter the ground, pumpkins and cauldrons have appeared, the shops and streets are haunted by trees, creepy crawlies & swarms of bats have taken over - but worst of all... Nichos roam free! Doesn't the world of Chotopia look prepared for this year's Halloween with its spooktacular decorations? Let us know what you think!

The Reaper

Also, you may have stumbled across a very mysterious, dark cloaked figure in the park. The Reaper seems intimidating at first, but is in need of your help so have no fear when approaching him! In other news, there is a new quest for you to now complete; discover what you can exchange with The Reaper by returning his bats immediately after finding them. 

Moving on, we've decided to host a drawing contest because we know how wonderfully gifted you all are as artists! Of course, a requirement is that it must be halloween-themed. Here are a few important pointers to make clear what is expected of you:

•    It has to be related to Chobots and to Halloween
•    You can draw using anything you like, as long as it is a piece of art! Some ideas for you to use: hand-drawn drawings on paper, graffiti on the underground walls (in-game), programs or software platforms for creating graphics like Adobe Flash or Photoshop are acceptable too
•    Use any medium of your choice; it's entirely up to you
•    You're allowed to be creative!
•    You may submit more than one entry; as many as you'd like
•    Please upload it to tinypic.com or imgur.com and provide us with the link so that we can all view your terrific drawings

With that being said, you have until the 12th of October to enter an entry/your entries in the comments below; send us your illustrations for a chance to win a special, cool prize! Though remember to read over the rules, and please do not copy or take credit for another person's work.

Good luck and have a fantastic week,

Katic and Shadow
