Since Christmas in the northern hemisphere is in winter and in the southern hemisphere is summer, we’ve decided to do a reversal - it’s Christmas in July!
So the northern hemisphere can experience a warm Christmas and the southern hemisphere can finally have a white Christmas. So activities are both winter and summer themed.
Got it? I’m just as confused! Enjoy…
It wouldn’t be Christmas without an Advent Calendar… We’re giving away some great holiday treats for our active Guild members. At a random time each day nBnGallery will but up some goodies at the Trading Post, all you have to do is bid an item (like a Tombola item) on the trade. Good luck and enjoy your goodies!
This Event is now closed.
To make it fair, you can only receive an Advent Calendar gift every second day. You must have more than 10 posts to be eligible and have made a post on the Guild board during the week.

It’s that time of year again when the spirit of giving is all around… why not spread some holiday cheer and participate in the nBn Guild Secret Quiguki? It’s like a Secret Santa or Kris Kringle but with a Neopian theme. All you have to do is submit your username to our Secret Quiguki and make sure you tell us which category you would like to join up with. You may write up a brief wishlist if you want. You will then receive another Guild member’s name and you will buy some gifts for them. Once you’ve got the gifts, send them over to our Secret Quiguki helper and they will distribute the gifts on Christmas Eve - July 24th. Follow the directions below…
You must have posted 10 messages on the board with your current account to be able to participate and have posted 1 quality message on the board during the week.
1. Submit your name
Send in your username and what category you would like to participate in. We have two categories for you to choose from:
| Snowball - gifts must be 5,000 NP in total Snowflake - gifts must be 10,000 NP in total |
If you would like to submit a wishlist, enter the what you would like to receive in the wishlist field. Your wishlist can be as general as you want (i.e. Faerie) or very specific (i.e. Fire Faerie). Just remember that items on your wishlist must not be more than the price of which category you have entered.
Make sure you are able to receive NeoMail, if you can’t receive NeoMail, you won’t be able to participate in Secret Quiguki.
You have until 11.59pm Monday 9th July NST to get your username and suggestion list in.
2. Who did you get?
Our Quiguki will then NeoMail you back with a Guild members name for whom you have to purchase a gift for and their suggestion list, if they have submitted one.
Don’t fret if your person has not submitted a suggestion list. Be creative, check out their gallery and see if they collect anything. See if they have a suggestion list on their pet page.
Make sure you are able to receive NeoMail, if you can’t receive NeoMail, you won’t be able to participate in Secret Quiguki.
You will be NeoMailed on Wednesday 11th July NST with the Guild members name.
3. Buy the gifts
Your task is now to purchase an item/s for the Guild member.
The total purchase price must not exceed 5,000 NeoPoints, if you have chosen the Snowball option. The total purchase price must not exceed 10,000 NeoPoints, if you have chosen the Snowflake option. If the gift does not cost more than the category price you have entered, then purchase some fun stocking stuffers.
4. Send the gifts
After you have purchased the gifts, you now must send them to nBnGallery. Do NOT send your gifts to the Guild member that you have received - it’s supposed to be a secret!!!
You must also NeoMail nBnGallery stating who the gifts are for and what gifts you have sent over (e.g.) My gifts - Fire Faerie and Cobrall. They are for nbngallery.
The reason why we ask you to send the gifts to nBnGallery is so we can keep it a surprise as to whom is buying gifts for whom.
If we have not received your gifts by the below date, you won’t be able to participate in Secret Quiguki.
You have until 11.59pm Monday 23rd July NST to send the gifts.
5. Receiving the gifts
On Tuesday 24th July NST our Secret Quiguki will distribute the gifts among the Guild members. Please ensure that we are able to send your gifts by clearing out your inventory.

As the chickens were preparing for their special "Christmas in July" party, their list of what they needed for the party went through a paper shredder. Can you help the chickens unscramble each of the items names in time for the party?
Special thank you to Alyssa for creating this Event.
