{{main|Lulu's Masterful Plundering}}
During this event, users could join '''[[Lulu]]'s Masterful Plundering''', where Lulu raided her cousins' bedrooms for exclusive [[Neocash]] wearable prizes.


== Prizes ==
Each day, Lulu and the player could find two prizes, one in Aristotle's room and one in Abigail's. In order to raid one of the bedrooms, players had to purchase the key to the room from the [[NC Mall]] for 700 NC. There were two keys to buy - one for each of the rooms - and buying one of the keys allowed the player to earn all the wearables from that room for the entire event.


At the end of the event, users were rewarded with trophies and additional prizes based on how many challenges that they completed during the event:
Activating the keys awarded the player a bonus background wearable.

[[The Neopets Team]] reported that [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=623 complaints about the trophies] they received this year led them to make one set of trophies silver and the other set gold in the [[Games Master Challenge 2013|following year's challenge]].
===Bug===
Day seven's challenges originally all required a score of 5 to complete, rather than the scores they actually asked for.
