Games Master Challenge 2009
The fourth annual Games Master Challenge began on November 24, 2009 and ended on December 1, 2010. As with previous events, Aristotle A. Avinroo challenged users to complete five Games Room related tasks each day. Completing challenges rewarded users with items, many of which were exclusive to this event. At the end of the event, users were given trophies based on how many challenges they completed.
This was the first Games Master Challenge to include a Neocash activity.

Neocash activity
- Main article: Games Master Challenge NC Challenge 2009
Following her introduction in Daily Dare 2009, Aristotle's cousin Lulu issued additional Neocash challenges in conjunction with this event. To participate, players had to purchase Games Master Challenge NC Challenge ticket packs from the NC Mall. These came in either packs of one for 300 NC, or packs of eight for 1,500 NC.
Each day, Lulu challenged the player with two additional tasks. The player had to use a ticket in order to complete the challenges for a certain day. For each challenge they completed, the player earned an exclusive Neocash wearable item. Bonus wearables were given out at the end of the event depending on how many challenges the player had completed.
