Key Quest
|
Key Quest is a game announced on February 6, 2008, and expected to be fully released some time in the following Spring.
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.
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.
Houses
The different houses have different advantages and disadvantages. These all depend on where the house is located. At present, there is only one map, so we can only give you details on the houses on that map.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Power Ups
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Keys you can win from the different games
- 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: sometimes, there are ties for 2nd place thus, two or more players can get silver keys.
