Halloween Party Recap

Hi friends!

We hope you all had a fun time celebrating Halloween with us; we sure enjoyed hosting it! The party featured magic, rain, music, and a specially designed "Trick or Treat" quiz, where some questions give nice prizes while others don't reward. Here are some pictures to recap the awesome party:

There was also a Halloween costume contest during the entire event and three spooky winners have been picked and are ready to be announced! Congratulations to the following:

You three have been rewarded with 3 days of citizenship and 5,000 bugs! Enjoy your rewards!

Happy Halloween!

Robofactory Competition, Halloween Costume Party

Hi friends!

It's time to announce a new competition and this time it's Robofactory! The rules are simple: Match the colored gear to the corresponding color on the machine and put three all together to get rid of the gears before it reaches the end.

You have until October 31st to land yourself a spot in the top three on the scoreboard.

But wait! Before you go, please take this invitation!

5pm EST, 2pm PST

It's that time of the year where skeletons and zombies come out, ghosts and pumpkins give you frights, and who can forget -- lots of apple cider and candy! But none of these things would be enjoyable without you guys, so please make sure to attend this spooky Halloween party on October 29 (there will be rain, magic, and a special Halloween-designed quiz!).

If you plan to attend the party, we ask that you dress up (wear a costume!) as this is a Halloween event. The shops have been added with some costumes and Halloween outfits, so please make sure to visit and purchase some scary clothes!

We will be judging best Halloween costumes, picking up to three winners, to win some very cool prizes (they will be announced in the party recap) so we highly suggest particiapting in this dress-up event.

I can't wait to see all of your costumes at the party!

See you then,

So, if you would you like to see an item in-game, here is your chance to design one and see it implemented! Please read the following guidelines and conditions if you are interested in entering:

Guidelines & conditions:

Chess Competition

Hi friends,

Grab a friend and get your thinking caps on because a Chess Competition is already underway. Chess is a strategy board game and can be played at the Academy here on Chotopia. The ultimate goal is to trap or capture the opponent's king piece.

If this will be your first time playing, it is a great opportunity to learn the rules of the game and possibly pick up new tactics. The competition concludes on the October 15, so you have a full week to do your best to place on the scoreboard.

Have fun,
Katic

Recap of Summer 2016

Hi friends!

Do you recall this summer? We sure do! We had such a great time with all the surprise mini events, and we sure hope that you recalled some of them. If not, we had gathered an album of pictures of all the events and parties that took place this summer. Lets take a moment to view them together:

Here's the list of all the available events that you could have attended to:

•      Mini Music Party
•      Mini Pictionary Event
•      Mini Summer Themed Party
•      Mini Hide and Seek Event (x2)
•      Philip's Birthday Party
•      Mini Hangman Event (x2)
•      Mini Father's Day Party
•      Mini Cho-Trivia Event
•      Mini Quiz Event (x3)
•      Mini Costume Party
•      Mini Animal Party

This year's summer events were definitely a huge turn out, and we want to thank everyone for attending any of these. They were all at different, random times (that is why it was called "surprise" mini events, duh!) so that way all of our users could enjoy and participate in the fun! We will most definitely try to do this again — possibly next year!

Again, thank you so much for attending any of these; you guys were the ones who made it so much fun!

Have a great rest of the weekend,

Sylva
