Calling all Neopians! It’s the throwback event you didn’t see coming: Neopets is opening its very first pop-up store in Hong Kong to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary, which means fans of the web-based virtual game will get to see their beloved Neopets and the world of Neopia come to life in the streets of Causeway Bay! Here’s what we know so far.
The Neopets pop-up is set to open at Fashion Walk with photo-worthy installations and limited-edition merchandise. In the atrium, turn your gaze upwards to find Kacheek and Shoyru waving from the ceiling as you pick out your favourite merchandise to bring home.
Speaking of which, Neopets will be selling plushies, limited-edition NeoHoods, phone grips, tarot cards, and more for Neopians to take home! For the fans with an artistic bent, you’re invited to unleash your creativity at designated drawing areas and craft your own Neopian fantasy. Don’t forget to grab a themed balloon on your way out!
Next, step through the glittering star arch onto Paterson Street, where you can snap a photo with Aisha and Shoyru (who won’t flying out of reach in this location). Neopians will get to relive their favourite mini-game, Hasee Bounce, as they enter a two-metre-tall installation. What’s more, Kacheek and Kougra are also waiting eagerly for a photo op with you!
We saved our favourite for last: Under the dazzling Christmas lights of Food Street stands Jubjub, whose eyes are glittering with joy from the spirit of the festivities. Unlike most of its friends, this Jubjub is definitely not camera-shy, so take a selfie or two with it!
The Neopets pop-up store will run from 1 December 2023 till 1 January 2024 at Fashion Walk. Mark your calendars if you’re looking to relive your Neopets era in real life!
Neopets pop-up store
