    Introduction
    What is the Games Master Challenge? The Games Master Challenge has been a yearly event since 2006. In this event AAA, also known as Aristotle A. Avinroo, comes to Neopia with games challenge where we have to beat his scores. AAA calls himself 'the Master of the Game Room' and thinks no one can beat him. He will offer you a prize for each challenge you can complete.

    Rules
    *The GMC will last a week long, from November 24th to December 1st.
    *Each day there will be 5 new challenges to complete (+two for the NC challenge)
    *Only games from the qualifying games list will count.
    *You will get a trophy based on the amount of challenges you have beaten. For the NC Challenge you will get a special medal based on the amount of challenges you have beaten.

    NC Challenge
    Aside from the main challenge there is also the NC challenge. Instead of AAA you will have to compete against Lulu. Her scores aren't really that hard and you should be able to complete them easily. You can get tickets in the NC Mall, 8 for 1500 NC or 1 for 300 NC.

    1 ticket should give you access to two challenges. Once you have bought a ticket you'll have to activate it. Go to your inventory and click on 'Activate your Games Master Challenge NC Challenge Ticket'. Now the ticket is activated, go to the main page of the NC Challenge, choose the challenges you want to do and click on 'Apply Ticket'. Then you're ready to go.

    Challenge Categories
    Each challenge will have an icon before it which indicates what kind of challenge it is. There are multiple kinds of challenges:
    [​IMG]
    The 3x Challenge: This challenge must be beaten 3 times before it will count.

    [​IMG]
    The Non-Game Challenge: This is a challenge where no game is needed to be completed.

    [​IMG]
    The Species Challenge: This is a just a challenge where a certain species is central.

    [​IMG]
    This is the Secret Challenge: The challenge does not say what you have to do in order to complete it. You will have to find out.

    [​IMG]
    The Heroes & Villains Challenge: This challenge is about the most famous Neopians.

    [​IMG]
    The Petpet Challenge: pretty-selfexplanatory.

    [​IMG]
    The Land Challenge: This challenge will involve a certain area to play in.

    [​IMG]
    The Many Games Challenge: You'll have to play multiple games to complete this one.

    Trophies
    Those will be the trophies you get on the end of the event based on the amount of challenges you have completed:

    FAQ
    How do I collect my prizes?
    Just go to the main page and you will receive your prize.

    Do I have to complete all challenges on the same day being released to get the highest trophy?
    No, you don't have to. You may want to do them on the last day as well. You will still get your trophy. That was the case for the previous editions.

    My trophy from my last year has disappeared from my lookup! What now?
    Don't worry, TNT announced in the news that this is just temporary and it will be fixed next week.

    I keep getting rewards! Will I get frozen for that?
    This seems to be a glitch that occured on Day 6. Everytime you visit the main page you would get the rewards again that you earned earlier that day. And no, you won't get frozen if you don't abuse it. Here is a reply from TNT:
    Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it :) Feel free to comment and post suggestions or tips that would be helpful ;)

    varies dramatically, a lot of deflation of course with the treasure map and other rares+

    the games are all pretty easy to beat, just play all of em :)

    Is it typically worth it to invest in the Coltzan's Negg or the Green Uni Morphing Potion for these types of things? How long does it take for prices to go back up? Faster than advent calendar, I presume.

    Invest in GUPs? Honestly, that's not a very good idea right there - before this they only sold for 13k or so anyways; now that's just going to get lower and stay low.

    Updated with challenges of Day 6.

    Note: It seems that a lot of users are having their rewards from today duped by visiting the main page again after they have claimed their reward. Some users have obtained a lot of items this way. If you're having the same thing and you're afraid of getting frozen I suggest you send in a bug report to TNT.
    And if you want to abuse this... go ahead but be careful :laugh:

    Also, there is a typo on the Ready to Roll challenge. People seem to get prizes with scores below 700 so I decided to test this. When I scored 70 I didn't get any prize but when I scored 80 I did. So I assume it should be 70+ then.

    Updated with Day 7. Sorry for being so late this time.
    The image of Ultimate Bullseye Balloon Bouquet seems to be broken. This will be updated when it's available again.

    Also, anyone who is interested in a SS list for the GMC? I might make one tomorrow for the entire GMC. Post what SS you're using, though, so I can know the format.

    Hey, does anyone know if there's any more prizes that correspond with how many challenges you've completed?

    Thanks
