A Guide to the Top 10 Trick-or-Treat Bags of All Time


by corrina404

--------

Carved pumpkins, eerie cackles, and that feeling like you’re being watched from the shadows? Sounds like Halloween is nearly upon us. If you’re like us and believe trick or treating around Neopia on Halloween is the best part of the spooky season - this one's for you! We’ve scoured through the archives to bring you the top 10 Trick or Treating Goodie Bags from across the years. We hope you enjoy this journey and learn something new about Neopian Halloween history!

     Mystery Island Kitchen Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     For the gamblers, this Y18 release comes with a big price tag but a big opportunity! Given to those who visited the Mystery Island Kitchen, this bag has a chance to award a Mumbo Pango Stamp. This is a bag-limited prize and essential to completing the Other III album - and rumour has it that TNT is working on that avatar! On the wishlist of stamp collectors everywhere, this stamp’s 50 million NP price tag makes it a huge win for those willing to take the risk. Are you willing to try?

     Bubbling Concoction Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     Bubble bubble, toil and trouble! This trick-or-treat bag embodies the spirit of Halloween. We love the ghastly green handle made of fumes - this might need a proceed with caution warning! We think Neopia’s witches would all approve. This Y22 prize was for those who travelled to Brightvale’s Royal Potionery. Inside, you might find the bag-exclusive Potion Master Cloak - a must-have item for avid customers! A great idea for your Halloween customs!

     Kreludan Mining Corp. Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     Ever wanted your own S750 Kreludan Defender? Well, this trick-or-treat bag comes with one ready to wear! Released in Y17, this bag was given to those who travelled to Kreludor. This bag makes our list for the cute design. Added bonus - this bag gives you a chance at winning the bag-exclusive prize of Deep Inside the Kreludan Mines. For those lucky enough, this limited-release booktastic-book can sell for over 10 million NP.. Open wisely and climb up that booktastic-book leaderboard for a shiny badge!

     Bat Boy Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     This bag is styled after the classic Petpet released in Y2 (yes, twenty-two years ago!). If you're a lover of Bat Boy but not his price tag, this bag might be the alternative to the retired Petpet you’ve been waiting for. We love the old-school Halloween vibes from this bag with its deep red colour palette and miniature fangs! From the Y23 Halloween, trick-or-treaters received this by visiting Neopia Central’s favourite hidden gem ‘The Coffee Cafe’. So cute!

     Edna Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     When you think of Halloween, witches will always come to mind. Edna is one of the most recognisable witches in Neopia, and it was only right in Y21 she was honoured with her own trick-or-treat bag. Have you tried one of her quests today? We love that Edna’s classic pointed hat is a key feature of this bag, and the cute side profile of Edna herself doesn’t hurt! Edna herself handed out this bag to those that made the trek to her tower near the entrance to the Haunted Woods. We hope no one was turned into a toad!

     Lampwycks Lights Fantastic Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     Lampwyck might be underground in Moltara, but that didn’t stop the lightsmith from handing out this fantastic bag in Y20 - and it was definitely worth the journey! We love the Halloween symbols that adorn this bag! Jack-o-lanterns, witches' brooms and hats, and little black cats - we’re obsessed. The best part? The lights inside this bag flicker to enhance the spooky feel. We wish we could own ten of them and use them as Halloween decorations around our Neohomes.

     Tiki Tours Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     This bag takes our vote for cutest design in trick-or-treat history! Who can resist a mini Coconut JubJub with a small umbrella and a palm tree?! We love the tropical vibes that remind you of the beaches of Mystery Island. Available in Y17 from Tiki Tours, this bag also gives gamblers the chance to win the bag-exclusive Ghostly Evil Coconut. This collectable from the Evil Coconuts II album sells for 25 million NP. Cute and expensive!

     Galaxy Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     If you dream of exploring the stars, this trick-or-treat might be the next item to add to your wishlist. The stunning colours and swirling planets create a stunning galaxy effect on this bag. This bag was given to trick-or-treaters who travelled into space to visit the Virtupets Space Station’s Space Armoury in Y22. There are also adorable space-themed items inside for those who look. So pretty!

     Little Nippers Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     Tentacles and a pirate hat? This sounds like a bag inspired by the shores of Krawk Island. This bag was available on Halloween in Y16 by visiting Little Nippers. For those wondering what’s inside, the Limited Edition Scurvy Island Stamp is sure to turn the head of any avid stamp collector. Selling for 40 million NP, anyone keen to complete their Krawk Island stamp page will be bidding for this one. A must have for any pirate fanatic - this trick-or-treat bag is the only way to get it - but are you willing to look inside?

     Deadly Spyder Trick-or-Treat Bag

     

     Spyders and Halloween are synonymous with one another. We love the classic black and red colour scheme, and the pointed bag design will remind you of a Spyder’s web. The only downside? This bag isn’t one your Neopets can add to their closets! This bag was given out to trick-or-treaters in Y23 at the Governor’s Mansion. The added plus? For those that don’t like Spyders, you might find a How Not To Get Bit By a Spyder Book inside. Everyone wins!

     We hope you’ve enjoyed our look back at our top 10 trick-or-treat bags from the years. We loved looking back at one of the most iconic events of the year and we hope you did too. Don’t forget to make sure you find all the exclusive Y24 bags! Spooky prizes await!

The Statue
"She had never seen a statue so lifelike. It was a Meowclops carved from stone, curled up in a sleeping position. Its stubby legs were folded against its body, and its delicate nose looked almost as if it was quivering with breath."

Night of the Evil Coconuts
"Long before the invention of the famous Coco Whip Slushie, a small tribe of coconut people had discovered the only place where the Neopian Chocolate River meets the Cream Waterfall. The resulting mixtures were collected by the Pango Tribe and given to young Neopets as treats."
