The challenges for Team Pirate focused more on action and adventure games, while the challenges for Team Ninja focused more on puzzle and strategy games.

Lulu's Masterful Plundering
Lulu's Masterful Plundering was a NC Mall tie-in with the 2012 Games Master Challenge. In this side-event, Lulu sneaked into Master Techo's and Captain Threeleg's rooms and plundered treasure from them. To participate, users had to purchase one of the below Room Keys for 700 NC:
Captain Threelegs Room Key |
Techo Master Room Key |
Activating one of these keys allowed users to access either the Techo Master's room or Captain Threeleg's room for the duration of the event. Each day, users with access to a room could visit it and receive a prize related to that room. In order to visit both rooms each day, users needed to purchase and activate both room keys.

Extra Gift
Shortly after the Lulu's Masterful Plundering event ended, The Neopets Team realized that that the Techo Master Cane Sword NC item given out during the event looked almost exactly the same as the Shirasaya Sword Neopoint item that was given out to users who signed up for Team Ninja. TNT thought that this wasn't fair to people who paid NC for room keys, so they later gave every one who had plundered a Techo Master Cane Sword a Tranquil Meditation Bonsai as an extra gift.
