Celebrate Children's Day With Henry!

Hello there, friends! In many parts of the world, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1st. Even though every day is children's day in Pandanda, let's have a special celebration this Friday!

Join me on Friday for dancing in the streets, bunny chasing, ghost hunting, and house-partying! I will be in Pandanda at 3am Pandanda Time, 11am Pandanda Time, and 5pm Pandanda Time on Friday, June 1st. You can click on each of those times to find out when I will be visiting where you live. I hope to see you there!

Check out these pictures I took of the fun we had during Game Day last Friday. As you can see from the last picture, we worked hard at playing games all day!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Game Day! Game Day! Game Day!

It's finally Game Day again! During Game Day, you can earn double coins for playing Bunny Chase, Ghosts of Misty Hill, Pen the Pig, and Line 4!

If you find a Moderator hosting a special game of Bunny Chase or Ghosts of Misty Hill today, you have a chance to win 250 Panda Gold! You can look for Moderators (and me!) to be hosting as many games as we can fit in between the hours of 6am-12pm Pandanda Time,  2-3pm Pandanda Time, and  4-8pm Pandanda Time. Games can be on any server, and we will be jumping from server to server to give lots of pandas the chance to win! Remember, you can win ONE time from each Moderator.

I will be in Pandanda from 6-7am Pandanda Time, 8-9am Pandanda Time then once more from 7-8pm Pandanda Time. You can click on each link to see what time it will be where you live. I can't wait to see you and award Panda Gold!

Party on, Pandas!

Pandanda Game Day This Saturday!

Another action-packed Pandanda Game Day is coming up on Saturday! Make sure your bunny-catching nets and ghost-catching backpacks are in good working condition so you are ready for your chance to earn lots of Pandanda Coins, and maybe even Panda Gold!

You will have a chance to win Panda Gold from Moderators in games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill. The Mods will be hosting as many games as they can fit into their shifts, giving you lots of chances to win Panda Gold. Instead of awarding 25 Gold for 1st place and 10 Gold for 2nd place like they usually do, they will award 250 Gold to 1st place and 100 Gold to 2nd place!

Also, every multiplayer game will award double Coins on Saturday. That means every time you play Pen the Pig, Line 4, Ghosts of Misty Hill, and Bunny Chase, you will receive twice as many Pandanda Coins as you usually do. There is no limit to the amount of Panda Coins you can win!

There is one change for Game Day to the usual rules for Panda Gold games. Normally, the rule is that you can only win Panda Gold once a day. But for Saturday only, you can win more than once a day, but you can only win Gold once from each Moderator.

For example, say you won Panda Gold from Maxxwell. If you play another game with Maxxwell and come in 1st or 2nd place, you can't win any more gold from him. But, if you see another Mod, like Skippers, later, and play and win a game with him, you CAN win Panda Gold again! Every Mod will be keeping a list of their winners.

One rule has not changed - NO POTIONS! Just use your regular Panda skills to catch those bunnies and ghosts, with no help from turbo or bunny potions. I know everyone will play fairly!

Remember, you can only earn Panda Gold from games that a Moderator is hosting. They will be traveling around all of the servers, so you might have a better chance of winning if you play on a less-crowded server.

Get ready to play!

Green Sombrero Day!

Don't forget, today is Green Sombrero Day in Pandanda ! If you don't have your green sombrero yet, just pay a visit to Fitch in the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. Click on Fitch behind the counter, then click on the clothes hanger icon above his head to open the catalog. You will find the free green sombrero on the second page of the catalog.

I plan to drop by during the day to spend some time with all of my friends in their green sombreros, and take some pictures. So I want to see absolutely everyone in Pandanda with a bright green sombrero on their head!

Make sure to mark your calendars for Game Day next Saturday, May 26th. Game Day is an awesome day in Pandanda when you can win double coins all day for every multiplayer game you play. Plus, the Pandanda Mods and I will be hosting special games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill where you have a chance to win lots of Panda Gold! I will remind you about it next week, so you won't miss out!

Party on in your Green Sombreros, Pandas!

Adios Fiesta!

Well, the fiesta decorations have been taken down and packed away for another year. The fun and festive Cinco de Mayo fiesta in Pandanda is over. But don't worry! You can still get your free green sombrero, as well as other colors of sombreros and Mexican scarves, in the Clothing Catalog. The fiesta treehouse decorations are still available in the House & Tree Catalog, too. But don't wait too long - those items won't be in the catalogs forever!

Speaking of green sombreros, I am declaring this Thursday Green Sombrero Day! I want to see every single panda in Pandanda wearing their free green sombrero on Thursday. I will drop by during the day to hang out with my friends and take pictures. I can't wait!

Make sure to check out the two new items in the Clothing Catalog that go along with Zing Ballyhoo's prize theme. Elite members, you will want to complete your Detective outfit, because I am planning a special Elite-only Detective Party later this month. I will have more details soon!

Investigating Zing's New Prize

Hi Panda Pals!

Zing Ballyhoo has reached deep into his suitcases of prizes and has pulled out a very interesting prize this week! It looks like he is building on a theme that started with last week's Magnifying Glass prize.

I won't spoil the surprise for you, if you are still collecting Golden Tickets. But if you just can't wait to see what it is, why not pay a visit to the blogs on the Pandanda Blogroll! Many of them have already posted pictures!

This week, the first Pandanda Bloggers to post about Zing's new prize were PandandaBlogRO and Lukeyman9's Pandanda Cheats. This is the second week in a row that Lukeyman9 was an early poster!

Party on, Pandas!

Meet the Mods - Jamesey

Hey friends!

Have you gotten Zing's prize this week? You just might need it for a fun contest coming up next week. Keep reading my blog for more information!

We are long overdue for a Question and Answer session with one of the awesome Pandanda Moderators. Let's find out about more about Mod Jamesey!

Do you have any dragons?

• I have one dragon and his name is Donnerwetter.  That is German for thunderstorm.   I think they are like anything, they need love and care, which I try to give him.

What is your treehouse like?

• My treehouse is in need of major construction.  I need to hire an interior decorator to help it out.  It has planet walls and a few Christmas decorations which I have not cleaned up yet.

What is your favorite outfit?

• That is a hard one.  I really like fall colors.  I did like the football clothes though, but I wish we had all the team colors.

What is your favorite color?

• Blue  -  that is why I am a blue panda, of course.

Which mini game is your favorite.

• Dragon's Revenge!!!!

Would you rather chase Bunnies or hunt Ghosts?  Why?

• I love to hunt ghosts.  I enjoy darting away from the blue ghosts before they freeze me, and nailing the others to get points.

What was your favorite festival?  Why?

• I would have to say the Friendship Festival.  I enjoyed collecting the friendship bracelets as they popped up!

What is your favorite quest?

• That one is a hard question.  I am trying to do them all, but I start a couple and I forget to finish them. Then I have to remember which was the last one I had started and then I finish it.

What is your favorite room in Pandanda?

• Misty Hill.  I enjoy the sound of thunder and the lightening is cool.  I keep waiting for the rain!

What is the best thing about being a Moderator?

• It is great to be with so many pandas and talking about their interests.

What is the hardest thing about being a Moderator?

• Trying to answer all of the questions and hoping that I don't miss anyone's question.  Try to be patient with me, and wait your turn for an answer. 

What do you like to do when you are not moderating?

• I like to listen to music and read.

What makes you smile in Pandanda?

• I enjoy it when pandas help other pandas out without anyone telling them to!

Is there anything else you would like to say to Pandanda land?

• Treat each other nice.....follow the rules......have a great time playing....help others!

Blue Pandas are cool!!!!
Jamesey

Thanks, Jamesey! Everyone, make sure to say Hi to Jamesey next time you see him! And don't forget to visit Zing Ballyhoo to exchange your Golden Tickets for his prize before the end of the day on Sunday. He will have a brand new prize on Monday morning!

Party on, Pandas!

Zing's 2nd Prize

Hello friends!

The 5th of May is past, but that doesn't mean the Cinco de Mayo fiesta spirit has left Pandanda! You can still get the free sombrero from the catalog at Clothing Co. on East Market Street, and wear it as you dance through the streets of Pandanda to the lively fiesta music. Ole'!

Zing Ballyhoo has made his second prize available. Just collect 10 Golden Tickets, then visit Zing at Treehouse Lobby to trade them for his new prize. Make sure you choose your prize carefully, because you can only get one each week. You have until Sunday evening to get this week's prize.

Congratulations to the following Pandanda blogs for being among the first to post about Zing's new prize:

• Lukeyman9's Pandanda Cheats and Pintuska's Blog were the first two blogs to post, and they posted at almost the same time!
• Pandanda Brasil was the first of the Brazilian/Portuguese blogs with Zing's new prize.
• In Romania, Pandanda News Romania was the first blog to post about the prize.
• And the first Spanish-language blog to post was Trucos Pandanda.

Pay a visit to those blogs, and tell them you saw them in Henry's Blog!

Party on, Pandas!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I hope you are having a great time dancing in the streets to the fiesta music! Make sure to head over to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street to get your free sombrero. You can find it in the Clothing Catalog, along with a serape (a Mexican shawl) and some sombreros in more colors. Don't worry if you can't make it to Pandanda today. These items will be available for most of May!

Check out the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Treehouses Album! We've really got some creative treehouse decorators in Pandanda! You can still send your fiesta treehouse screenshots to me at screenshots@pandanda.com. I will be accepting them until the end of the day today, and I will add them to the album for all to see!

Party on, Pandas!

Fiesta Treehouses

Hola Amigos! (That's "hello friends" in Spanish!)

We've received some really cool pictures of your treehouses decorated for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. I thought I'd share a few of them with you as we count down the last few hours until the day of Cinco de Mayo.

Great job on decorating those treehouses! Remember, you can send in your fiesta-decorated treehouse screenshots to me at screenshots@pandanda.com until the end of the day tomorrow. I'll choose a few more for my blog, and will post them all in an album for everyone to see!

Be sure to log into Pandanda tomorrow to get your Cinco de Mayo gift! And if you haven't gotten Zing Ballyhoo's prize for this week yet, you still have a chance! Just collect 10 Golden Tickets, then visit him at his tent in Treehouse Lobby to exchange them for his prize. He will have a new prize on Monday.

Fiesta, Pandas!

Fiesta Time in Pandanda!

Fiesta! It's time to party as Pandanda prepares for Cinco de Mayo on Saturday. Bear Hollow, and West and East Market Streets have been decorated with cut-paper pennants, piñatas, cacti, and bunches of chili peppers. There is also special music so you can dance and party!

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo and warmer weather, the House & Tree Catalog has been updated with some new items, as well as some old favorites in new colors. You can decorate your treehouse for a piñata party, a beach party, or any way you like!

If you decorate your treehouse for a fiesta or piñata party, I'd love to see it! Take a picture of your fiesta treehouse, making sure to show the whole screen, and send it to me at screenshots@pandanda.com. I will accept pictures from today through Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), then choose some to feature on my Blog.

Olé!
Henry
