The Transformation Temple was released 18th August 2008 and the site has changed a lot since then. We have updated the layout of the Temple to make it easier to use on mobile devices, we have new artwork and it's final prize has been changed. The Staff of the Light Fairy has been moved to the Millionaire's Lodge (will retire from here June 30th) and the final prize has been changed. You can now select any missing pet colour transformation for the pet inside the temple - similar to what a Fake Costume does. This means that if your pet is currently a Decadal, you can select any costume a Decadal can wear that the pet hasn't already been before and it will add this transformation to it's collection but will not change the pet at all.



Some of the oldest Balloons have new artwork - which also refreshed the Balloon Burst game. There are also 15 new balloon items on sale at the Balloon Shop.

A new Punk Account Upgrade Set has been released, with 7 new Punk themed items, a Punk Costume (retired since April 2008) and either a Punk Enchanted Plushie or Punk Potion. This set is on sale until July 31st. You can choose if you would like the main prize to be an Enchanted Punk Plushie or Potion. There is 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition Limax instead of Kaala, Knutt or Tantua.





All of the other pets that can wear the Punk Costume have been updated.

Our new summer event started midnight June 1st. All players are automatically invited to join a Band to complete challenges for. Are you Marching Band or Rock Band? There are over 70 different types of challenges you could be asked to complete - including quests, missions, restocking and battling! You will earn a point for your band after you complete each challenge and you may also win an MP or item prize. All prizes retire at the end of the event.

There are 30 different badges for you to collect - one for each day in June. Complete 20 or more challenges each day and you will receive the badge. Earn all 30 badges for a gold trophy on your profile, 20 for silver and 10 for bronze.

The more badges you earn, the more prizes that will unlock for you to win! When you earn 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 badges, new prizes will be unlocked for you to win! This means that a small amount of the item prizes can only be won from players who earn most badges!


At the end of the event, the winning band (if you earn 3 or more badges) will receive extra bonus prizes - so keep earning points for your team! There will also be prizes for the top 150 players who earn the most points and each day random players will earn Account Upgrade Credits to 10 random team players who receive a badge each day.

A new Musical Treasure Chest is on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire July 15th. You can open this item to receive 8 different, random new items, including new clothes, wigs, footwear, minipet, gourmet food and accessories. You will not receive duplicate items inside a single treasure chest.





Can you find these new Hidden Avatars?

A new Giveaways feature has been released in Lowlyhood. Players can donate any (or all) of their MP to this feature and it will be added to the prize pot. Whenever there is MP in this prize pot, all players can visit here for FREE once every 2 hours to empty a piggy bank and grab some of the prize pot! The more MP in the prize pot, the more they can grab!
Players who have less than 1,000,000MP in total can visit this feature once every hour.

Every time you donate MP to this Giveaways feature, your total donated will increase. The top 100 players who donate the most will be listed on the Walk of Fame in Lowlyhood.

We would like to take the chance to remind all players that:

1. Trades are for the exchange of items and/or currency with an equal value that's a fair exchange.
2. Using trades to send, receive or move currency is against the rules and you should only use the Currency Exchange.
3. To keep the game fair and evenly balanced, players are only allowed one account.
4. All items, pets or currency gained from your account through the many Free Games, Games, Points to Play games, Quests, Missions, Pet Dailies, etc are for your account only.
5. While we appreciate and encourage Marapets players to be generous and help each other out, there is a fine line between being generous and cheating. If in doubt, open a Support Ticket for staff approval.
6. Excessive gifting to another player is, and has always been against the Marapets rules. This unbalances the game and gives certain players an unfair advantage above others. This rule has and always will remain in place.
7. You can donate as many items you want at any time to the Pot of Gold.
8. You can give away any of your pets to the Pet Pound.
9. You can give away as much currency as you like, in MP, at the Giveaways feature.
10. The site rules are linked at the bottom of every page of the site. Trying to find loopholes to bypass any site rule or using any feature on the site in a way that it shouldn't be is against the rules. Creating "junk trades", for example, is using abusing the use of Trades and can result in account termination - use the Currency Exchange!

The Olympics is back and better than ever! Just like before, you can enter each pet into Olympic competitions every 2 hours (or one hour with the Olympics Giftbox released in 2009). Just like before, pets can enter and compete in each competition. There are now 30 different competitions, each with different stat requirements. These also update every 10 minutes, getting harder or easier throughout the day. There are also 4 different groups to compete in, the higher your pet's stats are, the higher category you can enter and the more Olympics Points you can win!

A new Olympic Event happens on the 15th of every month for pets to compete in all 30 categories, with huge prizes to be won! To enter, your pet will need to win 1st Place in any of the Olympic competitions they enter. The more they win, the higher their level, the more chance they will win the Olympics on the 15th! Pets who make it to Ultimate category of any event and win 1st Place will automatically be entered into a new Olympian group where they can earn higher Olympic points than before! The stats needed to enter as Olympian increase by 1 every time the pet wins 1st Place. They will also have a new medal for their pet's profile.


The Olympic Redemption Shop has 18 new items on sale for you to spend your Olympic Points on.

A new Health Tonics Shop has been released. It's not exactly a new shop but has instead replaced the Magic Shop in Gigantic Paradise. All items previously in the Magic shop, except for 'Healing Potions' which have changed to 'Health Tonics', have been renamed and moved to the Weapons shop. They will still work as they did before, but instead of being named 'Wands' they are 'Magic Staffs'. Wands are a new type of item from a new shop coming later this year.

There are 308 Health Tonics now restocking - 4 health tonic items per pet. They are all gourmet food items that your pet can drink. If the health tonic you give to your pet matches the species, it will heal their Health stats, needed for battling by either 25%, 33%, 50% or 100%.

The Bubble Pit was recently changed (actually fixed) so that when Pleon is busy, she will tell you to come back tomorrow. This was an original feature of the Bubble Pit but the odds of it happening were so rare that it hardly ever happened. Players who battle often also have the Battle Giftbox which automatically heals their pets after every battle so have never noticed/reported that the Bubble Pit was in fact broken for so many years. If you are timed out from the Bubble Pit, you can now use a health tonic to restore your pet, add the giftbox to your collection or wait until the Bubble Pit resets at midnight.








One of the most requested features since the release of Bingo was a way of buying all bingo tickets in one click. This wasn't added originally because Bingo is very server intensive, running games every 15 minutes, all day, every day for thousands of tickets, for hundreds of players. As a compromise, there is a new Bingo Giftbox for £1 AU Credit for those who want to buy all Bingo tickets each day at the click of a button.

We are very pleased to announce that our Dress Up Dolls have been upgraded. They are now 100% mobile friendly and you will no longer need to have a browser with flash enabled.

We first released our dolls on the 1st of January, 2006 (did you know Marapets is 2 years older than Facebook?) and we were the first pet site to ever have such a feature and they were very, very innovative back then by allowing total customisation, different layering of clothes and colours to be changed for every layer. Back in 2006, Macromedia Flash was the future! Now, as you may know, flash will be obsolete in 2020 and our flash games and flash dolls would've been too. This update solves this issue and allows our players who play by mobile or tablet to update their dolls much easier.


The Lush Fountain has had a major update. It will now show every single item your doll is wearing. Click on any and it will show you every colour that you can change it to. There is no longer a difficult form for you to fill in and it is 100% mobile friendly! If you are on a Drew quest, the fountain has been updated to show you which clothing needs changing and also brings the colour you need to change right to the top. You can also now use the Lush Fountain for wardrobe items like Hair Dye, Lipsticks, etc to update those much easier and see every colour you have. There is also an option for these to only show Hair Dye colours that match colours you have unlocked from Glowing Eggs!

Drew quests have been improved. The Lush Fountain is much easier now whenever you are on a Drew quest, showing you the clothing and colours you need to complete his quest. When you start a Drew quest it will also now show you which Glowing Egg the colour code he asks for is from, with the option to Check Price of this egg.
Finally, there is a new Drew Giftbox that will allow you to change your doll to wear exactly what clothing and colour that Drew is asking for, in one click, if you have these items in your collection!

There have been too many updates to the site recently to list them all here so this is just a quick update of some of the major ones. Anything that isn't listed here, if it was asked for at the Editorial, I will answer that soon with more information.

A new Price Order Giftbox, Pixie Dice Giftbox and Jelly Castle Giftbox are on sale at the Giftbox Shop. The Pixie Dice Giftbox allows you to play this game every 8 hours instead of every 16 hours and the Jelly Castle Giftbox allows to you visit twice a day instead of only once.

The new Price Order Giftbox unlocks a great new feature that automatically checks the price on the Shop Search of every single item you have in your Attic and allows you to sort them by cheapest, most expensive and unbuyable! It also allows you to sort all of the items you are missing from your collections by price, so you can buy the cheapest ones first!


You can now sort the Wishlist items and all items in your Attic by newest and oldest items, based on the date they were released. You can also sort your Attic by amount, showing the items you have the most of first.

When you buy the item you need for a Cosmonaut or Desert Spy quest, you can now complete these quests from the shop. You can also complete a Knutt Knight or Sumo Sally quest from the Battle Arena.

Every single Reward feature has been updated. You can now see how close you are to the next reward much more easily. Pet rewards will show your default pet but you can visit each rewards page and click the 'View All Pets' button to see how close each of your pets is to the next reward.

The Site Layout has been updated and improved. We have tried to keep everything as much the same as we could, but it may still take some time to get used to the changes. If you click on the main character artwork on every page, such as a shopkeeper or game character, it will return you to the feature. The top right corner of every feature has a 'Return to' button to go back to the world it is from. We have replaced most smaller text links with bigger, easy to click buttons. Whenever you need to select an item or pet you now do so by clicking it, rather than tiny little radio form buttons that are difficult on mobile devices. Bigger buttons, larger text and many other changes have been made almost everywhere to make the site easier for all.


The majority of the site has Suggested Links at the bottom with links, in alphabetical order, to features that are similar or useful. If you find a page or any feature that is missing or would be useful, please let us know in the Editorial so that we can keep improving it.

The Basil, Daisy, Limax, Lorius, Snookle, Speiro, Walee, Willa, Xoi, Yakubi and Yuni can now wear the Lava Costume. This means that ALL 77 different pets can now wear this costume!
Remember, the Lava Account Upgrade retires in less than 48 Hours.

November 2006 was when the Trunx's Theatre mission was first released. The artwork was over 13 years old! The mission has been relaunched with brand new artwork and new Phanty Potions and Enchanted Plushies to win.




The Phanty can now wear the Lava, Leopard and Sewers Costumes. The Devil, Millionaire and Prison Phanty have been updated.

The Christmas Treasure Map has been renamed to the Ice Caves Treasure Map. The Ice Caves were first released in January 2007 and wasn't a very useful feature. It has been over 12 years since it was first released. In those 12 years, Marapets has changed a lot. We've released goals, progress goals, treasure map collections, the Native Fairy and we relaunched the Ice Caves last April making it a much more useful feature. All of these changes have meant that more and more players have wanted or needed this map. Pieces 1, 6 and 12 were always much rarer and have never been on sale with the other pieces in Treasure Map Shop. These pieces are now on sale for RP in this shop, at much, much higher prices than the other pieces.

The Crindol, Eyru, Feliz, Jessup, Sindi, Snookle, Tasi, Ushunda, Walee and Xoi can now wear the Thunder Costume.

The Arinya, Gizmo, Huthiq, Jessup, Quell, Raulf, Straya, Sybri, Tantua, Tasi, Viotto, Vixen and Zetlian can now wear the Lava Costume. Remember, the Lava Account Upgrade retires in less than a week!

We have relaunched one of the oldest games on the site. The Test Your Strength game has brand new artwork and there are new prizes to be won!

We have changed the way that future Account Upgrades are released, starting with the newest Spring Set. These are no longer called 'Gold Account Upgrades', a name which made sense 10 years ago when we still had Bronze and Silver Account Upgrades. They are now called 'Account Upgrade Sets' named after the Costume that it comes with. Each set will come with a choice of either an Enchanted Plushie or a Potion.

There is still a 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition pet with each set but from now, there will be many more non-limited edition pets available as the other prize, rather than just one item. If you purchase three of the same Account Upgrade set, you are still guaranteed at least one limited edition pet. For example, if you purchased 2 Spring Sets and received a non-limited edition Enchanted Plushie or Potion for each set, the 3rd Spring Set you purchase will be guaranteed either an Enchanted Spring Lati Plushie or Spring Lati Potion. Just as before, this guarantee is only for the first three of each set you purchase.

A new Spring Account Upgrade Set has been released, with 7 new Spring themed items, a Spring Costume (retired since June 2013) and either a Spring Enchanted Plushie or Spring Potion. This set is on sale until June 30th. You can choose if you would like the main prize to be an Enchanted Spring Plushie or Potion. There is 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition Lati instead of Azul, Crindol, Equilor, Fasoro or Knutt.





The Azul, Crindol, Equilor, Lati, Lorius and Straya can now wear the Spring Costume.

Lost Sock Awareness Day
Today is May 9th, which everybody knows is National Lost Sock Awareness Day. This is Shusan's Day where the whole world joins her in celebrating having matching pairs of socks! Today is the day to say good bye to all of the single socks. Now is the time to let go and move on. Clean out all of your left behind socks! Or you can complete her quests between now and May 20th and she will give a random player online a brand new matching pair of socks! There are 25 new socks and 10 other prizes to be won from this event that will all retire. She may even give you a matching pair too!

The Crindol, Doyle, Fasoro, Paffuto, Reese, Renat, Rofling, Rusty, Sindi, Troit, Ushunda, Vlad, Zoink and Zoosh can now wear the Lava Costume. Remember, the Lava Account Upgrade retires in less than two weeks!

The Echlin, Ercuw, Feliz, Gobble, Hump, Ideus, Ike, Justin, Lati, Murfin, Newth, Nino, Oglue and Osafo can now wear the Lava Costume.

We have relaunched one of the oldest games on the site. The Mystery Item game has brand new artwork and new mystery items for you to guess. You can play every day for FREE and will win 2,500MP just for entering!

If you guess correctly, you will be added to the daily list of winners. At midnight, three of these players will be picked at random to win a Time Machine Token.

The original version of this game had special items as the winning prize. These and 10 new items are now bonus prizes you may win when you enter each day.






The Time Machine Token is also on sale in the Account Upgrades Shop permanently. The token will be needed for a brand new feature, the Time Machine, that will be released in a couple of months.

We have completed all 77 different pet Potions. All of the basic colour pets now have a potion and the older items have been released or revamped. Potions with a different costume will updated gradually, so you may notice some change at random times in the future. All missions with a limited edition pet as a prize now has new potion prizes and the Potion Shop has hundreds of new items restocking. Basic colour potions for limited edition pets from Account Upgrades are complete and will be added into the Account Upgrades Shop at a later date as a special, limited, flash sale.












The Ferris Wheel in Slater Park has been updated with new artwork. We have also fixed the links to the profiles of your Minipets here, at the Resort and on the Minipets section of the home page.

We have listened to recent feedback about old, retired Treasure Maps and have changed the way they are going to be re-released. Instead of releasing them along with revamped costumes as an Account Upgrade set, they will instead all be added to the Account Upgrades Shop, starting with random pieces of the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions, Foxfire Pond Treasure Map and Kamilah Pyramid Treasure Maps. These automatically retire from the Account Upgrades Shop after 30 days and will be replaced, automatically, by 3 random, different Treasure Maps. There are 16 different maps, instructions or passes that will rotate automatically.


Never forget to complete a mission or play a game again with our new Notification system! If you visit our Free Games, Points to Play Games and Pet Dailies sections you now have the option to select which features you would like to receive reminders or notifications for.

If selected, you will be notified whenever you can play a game again, buy a newspaper or magazine again, when a pet has finished training and more! There is an option on the Missions page to be notified whenever you can start a new mission and reminded to finish one you have started. Banks also have an option to receive reminders to collect interest and your shop till has the option to be alerted every time someone buys an item from your shop.

If you do not want these notifications, you can untick all of the options to turn it all off and whenever you want a reminder for a certain feature, you can turn it on again. Please note that mission levels with less than 15 minutes remaining will have a notification on every page for all players to make sure you do not fail by mistake and this feature cannot be switched off.


The Shops page has been updated with a new layout, new icons for each different currency and a countdown until the next restock of new stock for each shop. The countdown has also been added to each shop.

Goals also has an upgraded page with more information, the Progress Goals and everything else that is possibly related to goals. If you are a high enough level, you will be given information about how many players are currently a higher level than you. There are also new random events to encourage players to complete their Progress Goals, as there will be lots more special bonuses, features and rewards in the future for higher level players.

Thousands of items that had wrong or missing information on Price Check have been updated, including all the different colours of each Minipet that now link to the Minipet Colours section.


The Mission page has new links to the Peasant Fairy and Monthly Mission Contest, more information about the Magic Carpet and Beanstalk and if a treasure map needs to be collected to use a mission, it will now tell you this.

Some of the oldest Countdown Timers around the site have been updated. There will be no more 710 Minutes! Instead it will say 11 hours and 50 minutes.

The Editorial also has had many new features, fixes and site tweaks that I have not listed here. There will also be many more answered soon.

And finally, the Quest page has a cleaner design and brand new countdown timers for each and every quest. If a quest requires a treasure map to access, this page also now tells you about it.

We're pleased to announce that our Server Maintenance was completed yesterday without any downtime and was a success. You may remember that on March 23rd we wrote in the news about the new load balancer. Back then we had hoped for it to be completed and live by March 25th but as usual, things don't always go as planned and it took an extra month of work and testing to be sure it worked correctly.

For those who would like to know more about what the changes mean, I will try to explain:

Before yesterday, Marapets had 24 different servers that load the PHP scripts and generate all of the pages that you visit around the site. Whenever you visited a page, one of these would be picked at random and you would be sent to a random one. This worked OK, but not great. Random is random and it would send too many people to one server and less to another. It also didn't know the diference between a CPU intensive page and a basic page, so some servers could be getting lots more load while others are sitting idle.

We now have 63 different servers that run our PHP scripts - nearly 3 times as much as before! And we also have a brand new, very smart Load Balancer that makes sure that each time you load a page on Marapets, you are always sent to the server which has the lowest load! You should notice that Marapets is running faster and smoother than ever before and will continue to do so at all times of the day, no matter how many players are online.

Marapets has had 100.00% uptime performance so far for the whole of 2019 and we are constantly working to make sure this remains. Thank you for all of the Account Upgrade buyers who have helped us to manage this!

Our servers are located in Canada and our players in North America currently have a slightly better experience than our players in the rest of the world. Our next planned upgrade - which we hope to manage later this year - will be to improve the speed of our network for players outside of North America.

The Photo Parlour in Lush Lake has been improved and has brand new artwork. Staff also have a new system in place now where they can upload and release new photos and plates to the site without my help. From now on, when a new pet colour or minipet is added to the site, staff will aim to have their photos and plates added to the site later the same day. There may still be times when they are added a little later that that - so it is not a guarantee - but it will still be much faster than before!

All Lava, Easter, Genie & Jinn pets will receive FREE TRAINING at the Gym and Elite Gym until May 10th.

And all Lava, Easter, Genie & Jinn pets will receive FREE LESSONS at the School until May 10th.

The Azul, Crikey, Dakota, Eyru, Figaro, Flab, Gonk, Kaala, Kidlet, Kronk, Leido and Poera can now wear the Lava Costume.

A new Lava Account Upgrade has been released, with 8 new lava themed items and either a Lava coloured Chibs or Grint Enchanted Plushie. This AU will retire May 20th.
