'''Key Quest''' is a game announced on February 6, 2008, and was fully released on July 29, 2008.
'''Key Quest''' is a virtual [[Wikipedia:Online game|online]] [[Wikipedia:Multiplayer video game|multi-player]] [[Wikipedia:Board game|board game]] that is available for users to play on the [[Neopets]] website. The game was first announced on February 6, 2008, and [[Wikipedia:Software release life cycle#Beta|open beta testing]] of the game began on July 29, 2008.  The game was fully released on October 18, 2008. For some reason, when the Neopets servers moved over to JumpStart, Key Quest became offline. It is unknown when it will officially return, but TNT does intend on bringing the game back in the future.


==How to play==
==How to play==
You begin your turn by either rolling the dice or playing a power up. If you choose to play a power up, you will still get to roll the dice afterwards. The number of tiles you move is equal to the amount you roll on the dice. If you come to a junction in the board, yellow arrows will pop up. To choose the way that you wish to go, simply click the arrow of the direction.  
You begin your turn by either rolling the dice or playing a power up. If you choose to play a power up, you will still get to roll the dice afterwards. The number of tiles you move is equal to the amount you roll on the dice. If you come to a junction in the board, yellow arrows will pop up. To choose the way that you wish to go, simply click the arrow of the direction. The types of different tiles are: Home, Neopoint, Key, Powerup, Minigame, Portal, Location, Character, Alignment, and Treasure.


As you step over the neopoint, key, teleport or powerup tiles, they will activate. To activate all other tiles, you need to land on them.
As you pass the neopoint, key, teleport or powerup tiles, they will activate. To activate all other tiles, you need to land on them.


==Types of Boards==
You'll get 50 NP, a key, or powerup for passing the neopoint, key, and powerup tiles, respectively. Getting to a portal tile will give you the option of going through the portal or not.
There are 6 different boards to play Key Quest on: Neopia Central, Haunted Woods, Terror Mountain (which all have the same map but different design), and Chocolate, Springtime, and Ti-Key which all have different maps and designs. The chocolate board appears randomly when selecting the Neopia Central board.


==Houses==
If a player lands on a location tile, they get 200 NP. And if they land on the treasure tile, they get somewhere between 300-1000 NP, a random powerup, and a key of their choice.
The different houses have different advantages and disadvantages. These all depend on where the house is located. There are 4 different map layouts, but this guide only gives you details on the houses of the regular map.


*[[Image:KeyQuestFaerieLand.jpg|thumb|Faerieland]]'''Faerieland''': This house is relatively far away from the quest door, meaning that the game will finish later, and it is less likely that you will get there first. However, there are plenty of minigame tiles around it, meaning that you can pick up extra keys. There are also lots neopoint squares around, along with a key square. There is a real possibility of racking up points in this area. For 5-key games, this house has a big advantage because it provides the quickest route to pick up all 5 keys.
Also, when a player lands on the same square as another player, they can choose whether to have a duel with them or not. A duel is playing rock, paper, scissors with them, and the winner chooses a power-up out of 3 randomly selected ones.


*[[Image:KeyQuesHauntedHouse.jpg|thumb|Haunted Woods]]'''Haunted House''': This house is the farthest away from the quest door, however there are three key tiles nearby, as well as powerup, minigame and neopoint tiles. This is a great place to get a decent haul. The route for getting all 5 keys in 5-key games is slightly long, though.
The person who is the first to reach the exit after getting all the keys they needed wins the game.
*A '''2 key''' game gives lead to the winner and nothing to second to fourth.
*A '''3 key''' game gives bronze to the winner, lead to second and nothing to third and fourth.
*A '''4 key''' game gives silver to the winner, bronze to second, lead to third and nothing to fourth.
*A '''5 key''' game gives gold to the winner, silver to second, bronze to third and lead to fourth.


*[[Image:KeyQuestLostDesert.jpg|thumb|Lost Desert]]'''Lost Desert''': This house is very close to the quest door, therefore making it easier to get there quicker. There are also multiple key tiles nearby, along with the teleport, and a few minigames. The route for getting all 5 keys in 5-key games is longer than Faerieland, but shorter than Haunted Woods.
Note: When there are ties for 2nd or 3rd place, two or more players can get the same type of key for their prize.


*[[Image:KeyQuesNeopiaCentral.jpg|thumb|Neopia Central]]'''Neopia Central''': This house only has one key nearby, however it is very close to the quest door. It does have lots of powerups nearby, but not many minigames. In 5-key games the disdavantage of picking this house is that there isn't a straightforward route to get all 5 keys, so the player would likely have to rely on mini-games and power-ups.
==Types of Boards==
 
There are 16 different boards to play Key Quest on, all with different designs, and 13 different maps.
==Power Ups==
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
There are many powerups to be found during the game. These help the person using them, but can severely hinder the person that they are used against. These are the possible powerups:  
!Board!!Map Layout!!Year Released
 
|-
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpRainbowStickyHand.jpg|thumb|Rainbow Sticky Hand]]'''Rainbow Sticky Hand''': This powerup can be very useful to the person using it. They get their pick of the other players' powerups, and they don't have to land on a powerup square. It can be annoying to the person who is on the other end of the powerup, as they permanently loose their powerup.
|[[Neopia Central]]||1||2008
 
|-
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpMisdirectedCompass.jpg|thumb|Misdirected Compass]]'''Misdirected Compass''': This powerup causes the person who it us used on to reverse directions. This is not incredibly useful to the person using it unless someone is getting close to the Quest Door. It is then possible to use it to change their direction, making them come back the way they came. Also, if the person using it wishes to change their direction, perhaps to get somewhere quicker, they can use it on themselves. This can prove to be very useful. It can be a major pain for the player that the compass is used on, because it stops them getting to where they need to go.
|[[Haunted Woods]]||1||2008
 
|-
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpLoadedGummyDie.jpg|thumb|Loaded Gummy Die]]'''Loaded Gummy Die''': The Loaded Gummy Die can be very useful to the user. You basically get to choose what number you get on the next roll. This can be especially useful when close to the Quest Door. This doesn't really do much harm to anyone else, except for the fact that the person using it gets exactly where they want to be. One very useful feature is for landing on the treasure square.
|[[Terror Mountain]]||1||2008
 
|-
*'''Virtudice''': When you use this power-up you'll guarantee to roll a 6 for your turn. This is a weaker version of the Loaded Gummy Die because you can't choose where exactly to land, but you'll still roll a 6.
|Sweet 1||2||2009
 
|-
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpTransporterHelmet.jpg|thumb|Transporter Helmet]]'''Transporter Helmet''': The Transporter Helmet can be very useful to the user, if annoying to the person it's being used on. It swaps the person using it with another player of their choice. This can be useful to the person using it, especially if it gets them closer to the Quest Door.
|Springtime||3||2009
 
|-
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpCatapult.jpg|thumb|Catapult]]'''Catapult''': This powerup can be extremely irritating to the person that it's used on. It shoots them back 'home,' which is back to where they started. This means that if they were close to the Quest Door, they have to go back around to it. It's a useful tool for stopping people getting there before you.

*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpBottledQuickSand.jpg|thumb|Bottled Quicksand]]'''Bottled Quicksand''': This powerup does not give the player using it a major advantage, unless it is a two player game. It causes the chosen player to miss a turn, missing out on any keys or points they may pick up that turn. Bad for obvious reasons.
==Power-Ups==
{{main|Key Quest Power-up}}
There are many powerups to be found during the game. These help the person using them, or can hinder the person that they are used against.


*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpKeyGrabber.jpg|thumb|Key Grabber]]'''Key Grabber''': The Key Grabber is both extremely helpful to the user and extremely hindering to the person that it is used on. It takes one key from the chosen player, and gives it to the person using the card. This can give a huge advantage to the person using it, as it could be the last key they need to finish the game.
==Mini-Games==
 
When a player lands on a mini-game tile, a mini-game becomes activated. The winner of the mini-game gets a reward, whether it'd be a key or a power-up. For all the games, the person with most points wins. The italicized mini-games are the ones that have been retired.
*[[Image:KeyQuestPowerUpDistractionPotion.jpg|thumb|Distraction Potion]]'''Distraction Potion''': The Distraction Potion can be really irritating to the person that it is used on. It allows the user to switch keys with another player, meaning that the person it is used on could end up with a double of one key. It could also be the last key the user needs before winning the game.
*'''Nova Matcher''': Click on 2 novas of the same kind.
*'''''Daring Dig''': Use your Zomutt to dig to the finish line.''

Key Quest is a virtual online multi-player board game that is available for users to play on the Neopets website. The game was first announced on February 6, 2008, and open beta testing of the game began on July 29, 2008. The game was fully released on October 18, 2008. For some reason, when the Neopets servers moved over to JumpStart, Key Quest became offline. It is unknown when it will officially return, but TNT does intend on bringing the game back in the future.

How to play[edit]

You begin your turn by either rolling the dice or playing a power up. If you choose to play a power up, you will still get to roll the dice afterwards. The number of tiles you move is equal to the amount you roll on the dice. If you come to a junction in the board, yellow arrows will pop up. To choose the way that you wish to go, simply click the arrow of the direction. The types of different tiles are: Home, Neopoint, Key, Powerup, Minigame, Portal, Location, Character, Alignment, and Treasure.

As you pass the neopoint, key, teleport or powerup tiles, they will activate. To activate all other tiles, you need to land on them.

You'll get 50 NP, a key, or powerup for passing the neopoint, key, and powerup tiles, respectively. Getting to a portal tile will give you the option of going through the portal or not.

If a player lands on a location tile, they get 200 NP. And if they land on the treasure tile, they get somewhere between 300-1000 NP, a random powerup, and a key of their choice.

Also, when a player lands on the same square as another player, they can choose whether to have a duel with them or not. A duel is playing rock, paper, scissors with them, and the winner chooses a power-up out of 3 randomly selected ones.

The person who is the first to reach the exit after getting all the keys they needed wins the game.

  • A 2 key game gives lead to the winner and nothing to second to fourth.
  • A 3 key game gives bronze to the winner, lead to second and nothing to third and fourth.
  • A 4 key game gives silver to the winner, bronze to second, lead to third and nothing to fourth.
  • A 5 key game gives gold to the winner, silver to second, bronze to third and lead to fourth.

Note: When there are ties for 2nd or 3rd place, two or more players can get the same type of key for their prize.

Types of Boards[edit]

There are 16 different boards to play Key Quest on, all with different designs, and 13 different maps.

Trivia[edit]

  • There is also an Open Beta page where players can play Key Quest there instead of the main page, where new features are tested out there.
  • There are many hints which indicate that the game will not finish, or will end abnormally due to a glitch.
    • If in the beginning of the game, one player's token couldn't finish loading.
    • If the die couldn't stop rolling.
    • If the tokens are all moving abnormally fast.
    • If a player is unable to post messages in the chat function.
    • If players get their turns skipped for no reason.
  • The main controversy of this game is that old or slow computers have a major disadvantage in mini-games since the game is very big and causes lots of lag.
  • On January 29, March 3, March 14, and April 30, 2009, between certain time frames of playing Key Quest, a player would receive double keys and an additional prize. Also, from October 17 to November 1, 2009, players received double keys when playing on the weekend.
    • The Moltara board contains 4 Fire alignment squares and 3 Earth alignment squares, so far being the only board that doesn't have one alignment square for each element.
