events + upcoming

Chill period before our next event! 

The morning after the final Fizzy concert was a frantic one. Workers hurry all around the boardwalk cleaning up streamers, confetti, edible glitter... half-eaten soap bars.
You take a quick walk through the premises again, lamenting that it couldn't have lasted a bit longer.
In the distance, you see a big bundle of balloons. A giant bundle of balloons. Attached to the bundle, is Cupcake, attached to the strings like a ragdoll with Pierre, Caramel, and Fizzy in pursuit. She's being blown away by the headwind...
After a frantic session of helping the others untangle her from her decorations, you all settle by the entrance to the Soapwalk for a final chat.
"You were a great help kid." Caramel chimes, fanning themself with the tickets from their hat. "We would have been behind on prizes for weeks if it weren't for your help."
"Me too!" Cupcake joins. "There would have been a lot less streamers and balloons and sparkles and confetti and-"
She trails off, and you kind of tune her out, still nodding along.
"The show was a massive success! So many Soapuppies showed up and had a good time, so for me, the whole event was a massive success!" Fizzy cheers, almost singing at the end of her sentence.
"Thank you so much for helping us." Pierre intrudes, clapping his fins together, "Thanks to you, we had a great summer and met a lot of new friends!" Pierre nods to Alfred, who smiles and nods back. It's good to see that those two have made amends. "While we all do have to go back to normal today, I'm sure we'll all see each other around still, right?"
"Of course." Caramel answers. "We'll have to try to get together again sometime."
"I'd love that!" Fizzy sings.
As you all fall silent, smiling and watching the sun set over the ocean with your summer friends, Cupcake is still listing off party favors and decorations they all would have sorely lacked if it werent for your help.
...you can't recall ever seeing a party vuvuzela or mini apple pies like she's describing about a half hour into her listing.

The Summer soapwalk 2024 event has come to an end!

Yes, you heard it here, the Summer of silly, soapy, splash-tastic fun has finally come to an end. All seasonal prompts, scavenger hunts, daily rewards, and encounters are no longer available, and will soon be removed from public view. We hope everyone had fun with all that was in store, but it’s time to say goodbye to Summer and all the friends that were met along the way. As the cooler seasons begin to roll in, there may be something particularly chilling some time soon…

Additional notes:

• For any prompts that were rejected and could not be fixed before the event ended, a prompt for corrections is currently up and will remain up until September 1st.  This applies purely to prompt submissions that were submitted and thusly rejected before corrections could be made!
  
• Because of the nature of this announcement being made so late into the event's lifespan and there being new items up for tickets with no method of getting new tickets, for this event Indigoidiot has offered to do manual refunds of one event bought item per user. A prompt has been made for these requests. In the future, these announcements of a post event shop period will be made earlier and we apologize for any inconveniences this has caused any of our users.
• The staff will be looking into methods of obtaining items from past events, so if you aren't able to get a certain item at this point in time from the current shops, we are looking at"off-season" and past event item winning. Stay tuned for news on this!

Additional Form and Multi-Form traits have been slightly updated. Additional forms must somewhat resemble the main form. This means additional forms should not be able to pass as a separate character from the main form.

While there will be an item some time in the future to pass down exclusives for selfbreeds in the future, for now you can use a Swirly Shampoo to pass down exclusive traits in selfbreeds.

reminders

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and as the summer starts to creep in, it's time for Soapuppies Sudsy Summer Silly Summertime Beach Fun Summer Soapwalk! Or… Sudsy’s Silly Summer for short. If you’d prefer that.

This is an event divided into four parts! Each part will come out two weeks after the previous one, today marks the first part! There's several things this event brings, and all will be available on the event segment on the home page!

Event Currency

This event has a special currency, to be used for this event only – Golden Tickets!

These can be earned as rewards for participating in the event. They can be used to purchase goods at the Prize Counter, including some event-exclusive items, with more to be added! These are non-transferable between users.

New NPCS

There's four new NPCs for this event! Introducing…

Cupcake, an upbeat party planner who loves all things fun!
(Design: coast)

Caramel, a friendly Splashy Summer Soapwalk employee!
(Design: Indigoidiot)

Pierre, a sad little clown… Maybe you can cheer him back up?
(Design: mikeyway)

And Fizzy, an aspiring popstar who aims to touch the hearts of Soapuppies far and wide!
(Design: zorua, slug)

All of these characters will be raffled off to the community at the end of the event. Raffle tickets can be obtained by partaking in the event, and at the Prize Counter. Don't want a ticket you got? They can be resold for 5 Golden Tickets each! 

Scavenger Hunts

Each part will have a scavenger hunt, all with their own pages and unique items. Each week will increase in difficulty, and each hunt has 8 total items possible to find.

Finish a hunt, and you can get a collection! These serve as collectible achievements for your page, along with giving you a reward you can open in your inventory. To redeem collections, visit the Collections section of the home page or Home dropdown!

Once the hunt is complete and the collection is redeemed, the items can be sold for a random amount of Golden Tickets. Be careful not to sell these until the hunt is completed, or you will not get the final reward! 

To keep the game fun, please refrain from publicly giving out locations to other users. Vague hints are allowed, but very specific hints and direct locations are not.

Event Prompts

Each part will have its own prompt! Completing these will reward you with regular rewards, Golden Tickets, an award, and a raffle ticket! You will need to finish the previous prompt before moving onto the next, but all four prompts will be available for the entirety of the event! For more information, head over to this page.

Encounters

The first opening of encounters are here! A new location will be added with each part. If you run out of energy, you can purchase food to restore some at the Ticket Booth! Encounters can be found directly in the top page.

Encounters allow users to explore different areas and answer to different prompts, with the ability to recieve a reward if they choose the correct option. Note that not all  encounters will offer the options to recieve a reward, encounters are up to random chance.
