help Neopets FAQ

Is Neopets still playable in 2025 or did it shut down?

Neopets is still online and playable in a browser for free — a remarkable run for a site launched on November 15, 1999. Ownership has churned (Viacom, then JumpStart, later splits), and the current team has announced a broader relaunch called World of Neopets for the mid-2020s.

What happened to all the Neopets Flash games after Flash was discontinued?

When Adobe killed Flash support at the end of 2020, hundreds of Neopets mini-games broke overnight since the site was built on it. The Neopets Team has been porting popular titles to HTML5 one by one, but many classics from the site's peak remain unplayable.

Who created Neopets and when did it launch?

It was created by Adam Powell and Donna Williams and launched on November 15, 1999. Adam famously appears in the site's lore himself, with a pet called a blue Grarrl named after the site's humble origins.

Does Neopets cost money — do I need a subscription?

The core game is free; you earn Neopoints through games and dailies to feed and customize your pets. There's an optional Premium subscription plus the NC Mall's microtransaction currency, but paying only speeds up cosmetics and conveniences.
