The '''Daily Dare''' was a gaming [[plot|event]] that occurred annually between 2007 and 2013. During the Daily Dare, every day for a month (normally March), self-proclaimed Games Master [[Aristotle A. Avinroo]] (''AAA'') and his sister [[Abigail]] challenged players to beat their scores at one of [[Neopia]]'s [[wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Flash]] [[game]]s.  
|}


The '''Daily Dare''' is a gaming-related [[plot]] released on March 1, 2007, as a follow-up to the [[Games Master Challenge 2006]]. Much like [[Better Than You]], users can challenge [[Aristotle A. Avinroo]] or his sister [[Abigail]] and win prizes if they're able to beat or match their game scores.  
In [[Daily Dare 2012|2012]], the Daily Dare introduced the new Game Room design.  


=History=
The event is similar to [[Better Than You]], except with daily challenges.  
The first Daily Dare in March 2007 featured [[Aristotle A. Avinroo]] and his sister [[Abigail]].
In 2009, users were introduced to AAA and Abigail's cousin [[Lulu]] who hosts the [[NC Challenge]].
Also in 2009, another addition called the "Double Dare" was introduced.
Users could choose to accept this double dare, and if successful, will recieve both AAA's and Abigail's prizes for the day. If they fail however, they will receive nothing.
The Double Dare challenges will occur once a week throughout the entire month of March.

[[Image:Dd prize.gif|right|frame|Abigail and AAA from the overall prize collection screen.]]
As in the [[Games Master Challenge]], the Daily Dare is AAA's attempt to prove to the world that he is the best gamer.  


Unlike the Games Master Challenge, the prizes given out were the same for every user, but differed depending on who the user challenged - Abigail or AAA. There were four additional prizes and titles given to users for fulfilling certain criteria by the end of the month:
While this began as just a challenge to players, in 2008, AAA and his sister were kidnapped by [[King Roothless]] and forced to play. King Roothless hoped to prove that he was the best gamer instead.

In 2012, [[King Roo]]'s new design for the Game Room wasn't ready, so AAA couldn't run the Daily Dare. Annoyed at not being allowed to play his games, AAA decided to activate the Games Room machine anyway - which attracted swarms of [[Petpetpet]] bugs to [[Roo Island]].

==Trivia==
In 2013, AAA and Lulu were away at summer camp, and Abigail had to try and run the Daily Dare herself with the help of [[Chadley]].
*''...to be added...''
 
==Format==
 
Each day of the event, AAA and Abigail post their high score from a Flash game. AAA, being the better gamer, invariably scores higher than his sister.
 
The player can choose which of the siblings' scores to challenge. Then, if they submit a higher score, they are rewarded with a themed prize. The player can only earn the prize for whichever score they challenged. If the player chooses to challenge Abigail but also beats AAA's better score, the player only wins the prize for defeating Abigail. Likewise, if the player challenges AAA but can only beat Abigail's lower score, they do not earn her prize - but this does count as beating Abigail for earning the additional prizes at the end of the competition.  
 
In some years, additional prizes were awarded for completing all the challenges, for defeating all of AAA's scores, for completing all the challenges on the day they were released, and for defeating all of AAA's scores on the day they were released.  
 
From [[Daily Dare 2009|2009]], the player could opt to take the Double Dare challenge on certain days of the event. If the player accepted the challenge and beat AAA's score, they would earn both AAA's and Abigail's prize for that day. [[Daily Dare 2011|2011]] introduced team challenges, where if a player and a friend both beat either AAA's or Abigail's score, they would win a bonus prize.
 
In [[Daily Dare 2013|2013]], Chadley's scores replaced AAA's for some of the games, while AAA was away at summer camp.
 
===Neocash component===
 
[[Daily Dare 2009|2009's Daily Dare]] also introduced the ''NC Challenge''. If the player bought a ticket from the [[NC Mall]], they could challenge AAA and Abigail's cousin [[Lulu]]'s score, which was in between AAA's and Abigail's, to earn a [[Neocash]] item prize. Lulu's challenge can be undertaken in addition to AAA's or Abigail's for each day - the player can win prizes by defeating both Lulu and Abigail or both Lulu and AAA in each game. In [[Daily Dare 2011|2011]], an additional Neocash challenge, the ''NC Retro Challenge'', re-released five of Lulu's scores from the previous year's challenge and players had a chance to earn those prizes again.  
 
In 2012, the format of the Neocash challenge changed. Rather than having to beat Lulu's scores in the games, players earned a Neocash prize by helping her investigate [[King Roo]]'s disappearance through buying ''Adventure Books''; and earned further prizes by helping her catch bugs with Neocash nets. In 2013, Lulu instead gave players Neocash prizes when she sent them a postcard - the player had to buy a Neocash mailbox to receive them.
