{{Construction| reason=More information on the different types of Treasure Maps and ''exact'' dates certain maps were released}}
'''Treasure Maps''' is a collecting game released on February 29, 2000, where users are required to collect nine pieces of a map to find a buried treasure. Each actual map piece is an [[item]], This means the pieces can be stolen, [[Trading Post|traded]], sold, [[Auction House|auctioned]], turning into a [[Pile of Sludge]], etc. Map pieces are acquired through a [[Random Event]] or bought through the [[Shop]] of a user who acquired it through a Random Event themselves.

Once used to obtain either a prize or access to a special service, depending on the map type, the nine pieces of each map are lost.

Announced on 3 August 2005, and can only be completed after the '''Secret Laboratory Map''' has been completed. Rewards a random NP value (8,000-12,000), and access to the '''Petpet Lab ray'''. A Neopet's [[Petpet]] can be zapped by this once per day, which randomly (and semi-permanently) changes the following properties:
* Species of the Petpet
* Colour of the Petpet
* Level of the Petpet
* Name of the Petpet
* Make it disappear completely (small chance, but still possible)

Petpets who are zapped by the Petpet Lab ray are ineligible to be rewarded by the [[Petpet Protection League]], as they deem it to be a cruel action against a Petpet.

Changes to the Petpet (other than complete destruction) can be reversed by unequipping it from the Neopet. This will reverse all changes, not just the most recent ones. The Petpet will be returned to its original form.

'''Bruno's Backwoods Breakaway''' is an action game released on November 17, 2006.

After a potion he took went wrong, [[Bruno]] became a disfigured, monstrous [[Gelert]]. The townspeople of [[Neovia]] took the same potion and were similarly twisted by the elixir. They blamed Bruno for being the first to advertise the potion and chased him out into the [[Haunted Woods]]. To escape their wrath, Bruno must now use whatever shelter he can find to evade the angry mob.

Avoid the villagers and the rocks that they throw. Collect all of the potions to end the level. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move and the SPACEBAR to jump. Press SPACEBAR when Bruno is near the cave to drop off the potions. Press "P" to pause the game.

*'''World:''' Haunted Woods
*'''Game Type:''' Action
*'''NP Ratio:''' 75 NP per 100 pts scored

Easy 1000 neos per play... start level always going left... Use lookoutbruno for free life, wont need it as you master the levels. Every game has same set up on it's levels so when you find the quick way through, just repeat the same way each time you play. The one key to maxing points is to hold on to all the potions till they are all collected before putting them in the cave. After 1150 score quit the game and collect the 1000 neos... abercromb92

Web of Vernax

'''Web of Vernax''' is an action game released on March 25, 2004. Similar in play to the game [[Wikipedia:JezzBall|JezzBall]], users are placed in the role of a hungry [[Spyder]]. The goal of the game is to progress through an unlimited number of levels, capturing and eating [[Vernax]] in the webs they create.

==How to play==
Gameplay occurs through use of the ''mouse''. Users have to spin webs and try to capture the Vernax in small enough webs. To make a web, users click the ''left mouse button'' somewhere on the game area drag the mouse in the direction they wish to go. When they release the button the Spyder will begin making a strand of web in that direction. Once the Spyder hits a web or the edge of the play area, the web will turn a solid grey colour.

If one of the Vernax hits a strand of web before it hardens a life will be lost (a total of 3 at beginning of play), and the web strand will be lost. Gameplay is also against the clock as Spyders have fast metabolisms, and they will starve if time runs out. A mutant Red Spyder will also appear in later levels to eat webs and can be defeated if they eat the end of a strand of webbing in the gaming area, falling from the games proposed ceiling area.

More points are earned by trapping Vernax in the smallest area possible, along with using a minimum of 4 webs or less to capture all the Vernax in a level. Eating ''Spyder Bites'' gives extra points as well. Depending on the length of the web strand the Spyder eats the Spyder Bite, more points can be given, and the number of Spyder Bites eaten are tallied during a game. If 10 Spyder Bites are eaten, the tally will be reset and the user gaina an extra life.

From level 1 to 7 the number of the Vernax rises. Level 8 and the following have the same number of Vernax as the previous levels. However, the Vernax are faster, making it more difficult to capture them.

==Trivia==
*The following characters had their scores featured in [[Better Than You]]...
**[[Spider Grundo]] - ? - May 13, 2004
**Spider Grundo - ? - July 21, 2005
**[[Mrs. Prenderghast]] - 4600 - September 14, 2006

Heres a great way to make the capture box get you 65 or 66 points nearly every time.... simply fill in a box with smaller sections untill you can fill the box in with dots of web... It looks pretty neat! the last dot captures the bug and you will have maximun points... abercromb92
