Follow That Arrow Contest!

(Sorry it's late!)

(Originally Henry!)

Hey Guys!

I'm so sorry it's late! Since I have started High School I have a lot of things to do like Homework and things so I can't post as much but I will try my best and defiantly try and catch up at the weekends!

I know you have been anxiously waiting for a new Pandanda Elite Membership contest, so here it is - the first ever Pandanda Follow That Arrow contest!

This contest began September 12th, and will last for 10 days. Each day Henry will post a picture of one of the arrow signs that can be found all over Pandanda. Those arrows point to the entrance to the next room. Your job will be to correctly identify two things about each arrow: a) Which room the arrow is in, and b) which room the arrow points to.

This is NOT a contest arrow!

Confused?  Don’t be! Here is an example. Look at the picture of this arrow. First you need to figure out where you can find that arrow in Pandanda. You might have to look VERY carefully at the little details around the arrow to make sure you have found the right one. When you have found the arrow in Pandanda, write down the name of the room it is in. This arrow is in The Den.

The next thing you have to find out is where you will go if you follow that arrow. That’s easy enough – just follow the arrow and see where you end up! This arrow in the Den will take you to Tree House Lobby. So there you have your two answers – a) The Den, b) Tree House Lobby. Remember, this arrow was just an example. It is not part of the contest!

After the 10^tharrow has been posted in Henry's blog on Friday, September 21^st, you will send an email to contest@pandanda.com with your two answers for each arrow. So your contest entry should look something like this:

Arrow 1  a) the room the arrow is in. b) the room the arrow points to.

Arrow 2  a) the room the arrow is in. b) the room the arrow points to.

Arrow 3  a) the room the arrow is in. b) the room the arrow points to.

and so on, all the way to Arrow 10. Of course, instead of “the room the arrow is in” and “the room the arrow points to”, you will put the names of the correct rooms for each arrow!

There is a limit of one entry per Pandanda account. Entries that are sent in before the last arrow is posted on September 21st will be eliminated. Entries must be received at contest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Sunday, September 23, 2012.  The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 in my Blog.

• The first correct, eligible entry received after the 10th arrow is displayed on my blog will be a winner.

Festive Photo with Your Friends Contest!

(Originally by Henry!) 


NOTE: THIS IS ON PANDANDA HENRY'S BLOG. NOT MINE. I AM JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING ON PANDANDA HENRY'S BLOG!


Hey guys!





One of the best things about the Holiday season is getting together with your friends. That is why I am pleased to announce the “Festive Photo with Your Friends” contest! The goal of the contest is to take the best seasonal picture of your panda with your friends (It's ok to include other pandas who are also playing who may not be on your friends list.)

The most festive, creative and original picture of you and your friends celebrating the holiday season will win the awesome prize of a gift certificate for a 6 month Elite Membership, 200 Panda Gold, and 5000 Panda Power. Plus, you’ll get another 6 month Elite Membership to give to a friend! 

There is a limit of one entry per email address (the one you used when you created your panda) per day. Entries must be received atcontest@pandanda.com no later than 11:59pm PST on Sunday, December 18th. The winner will be announced on Saturday, December 24th in my blog.

Prizes

1 Grand Prize winner will receive:

• A 6 Month Elite Membership gift certificate for you
• A  second 6 Month Elite Membership gift certificate for your friend.
• 200 Panda Gold for you.
• 5000 Panda Power for you.

Here are a few tips:

• Be original and creative. It's ok to try and organize other players in the game to get the coolest, greatest shot ever! If players don't cooperate, though, it is not ok to bully them or be mean. We have so many players around the world, and some may not understand what you're saying. Also remember that safe chat players can't see what you may be chatting.
• Your picture can be taken anywhere in the game. It is ok to drop into a friend's tree house to take your picture. There are some pretty fancy tree houses out there!
• It's ok to crop your picture to whatever size you think looks nice, or you may submit an entire screenshot.
• Cropping the picture is ok, but digitally editing or enhancing your screenshot is not. Digitally edited submissions will be disqualified.

To submit your entry (have your parent or guardian help you):

1. Read and obey the rules. Entering the competition means that you and your parent/guardian agree to the rules. If you are under 13 years old, please ask your parent or guardian to review them with you, along with our website Terms of Use , specifically with regard to the use of submissions you send to us.
2. Ask your parent or guardian to email your entry to contest@pandanda.com from their email address, the one they used when they signed you up for Pandanda. Your entry MUST come from the email address that we have on file for your Pandanda account.
3. Type the words "Picture Contest" in the subject line of the email.
4. Type your Panda name in the text of the email for example "Panda Name: Paige."
5. Do NOT include your real name, house address, phone number, or password.

I can’t wait to see your pictures!

Thanksgiving Week!

(Originally by Henry!)

Hey guys!


Today is the first day of Thanksgiving Week in Pandanda! There is so much to be thankful for that we need more than just one Day of Thanksgiving to celebrate! (Like Christmas hehe)

Make sure to visit Fitch at the Clothing Co. to pick up your free Thanksgiving Gift from his catalog (especially if you are hungry!) Fitch has also added a couple of Pilgrim items to the catalog for Elite members.

Pandanda Land is decorated for the holiday. Check out the big Thanksgiving dinner table set out for you at East Market Street. It holds a Thanksgiving feast of turkey and stuffing, cranberry sauce and a delicious pumpkin pie. You can gather your friends around to table to share what you are thankful for this year.

For you Questers, there are 10 Quests this week instead of 9, so you can earn Panda Power a little faster this week! Some of the Quest Givers even have special Thanksgiving Quests for you - turkey feathers, anyone?

Even Zing Ballyhoo's new prize this week has a sort of Thanksgiving theme. How do you get it? Just collect 10 Golden Tickets from all over Pandanda (except in treehouses), then exchange them to Zing in the Treehouse Lobby. Choose your prize carefully, because you only get one choice!


I am thankful for all of YOU!

Important Quest Level Announcement + Level 50 Party!

(Origanly by Henry!)


Hey Pandas!

Henry promised you all an important announcement about Quests, and here it is - the maximum Quest Level that players can reach is now set at Level 75. The Pandanda Team and I came to this decision after considering many things, including the comments and suggestions we have received from many of you.

Once you reach Level 75 you can continue to do Quests and earn coins, but you will no longer receive Panda Power or Level Up. There will be some special Quest Awards for Level 75 added to Questy's Catalog soon.

Don't worry! That doesn't mean that Quests are over, no way! There will still be 9 Quests available each day for all of you who are still working on Leveling Up. Many new players have joined Pandanda since Quests began last year, and many more will join in the future, and they will all be able to keep on Questing!

In honor of this announcement (and since it's been a long time since we've had one!) I have planned a party this weekend for everyone who has reached Level 50 and above! Meet me on Palm server at 11:00am Pandanda Time this Saturday, September 10th. You can click that link to find out what time it will be where you live.

Let's fill the sky with dragons and the land with horses as we celebrate your Quests accomplishments!

Keep on Questing!
