Ancient Game Day+Panda Gold=Awesome!

I've got my toga, laurel wreath, and torch all ready to go for Ancient Game Day on Saturday. If you didn't get a toga during Summer Festival, just head over to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. There are two brand new togas in the clothing catalog! Even if you have your Summer Fest togas, I bet you'll want the new colors.

You can win double coins in all multiplayer games all day on Saturday, but games for Panda Gold are scheduled for certain hours. And only games that a Moderator is hosting will be for Panda Gold. You will be able to find Panda Gold games going on during the following hours:

• 12-1am Pandanda Time - I'll be visiting during this Opening Hour of Game Day!
• 5-8am Pandanda Time -  You can look for me from 5-7am PT.
• 9am-12pm Pandanda Time
• 1-3pm Pandanda Time - I'll be hosting Panda Gold games from 1-2pm PT.
• 4-7pm Pandanda Time

During those hours listed above that I am not in Pandanda, you can look for a marvelous Moderator! Mods Gemmza, Maxxwell, Sammiee, and Skippers will be hosting as many games as they can fit into their shifts. Remember, you can win one time from each Moderator, and one time from me. So that means you have the chance to win Panda Gold up to 5 times!

We will be playing Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill in all of the servers, so if you can't get into a room where a game is being played, just go wait in the location with the other game, or even in another server. Once we've played one round of a game, we will move on to the next game for one round. After we've played both Bunnies and Ghosts in one server, we will move to another server.

It is going to be an awesome day! Put on your ancient Greek toga and get ready for some fun!

Game on, Pandas!

Ancient Game Day

Wow, the excitement is really building all over the world for the start of the summer games in London on Friday. And in Pandanda Land, the excitement is building for our special twist on Game Day this Saturday - Ancient Game Day!

Let's all wear our togas from the Summer Festival and pretend we are back in Ancient Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics. The laurel wreath is a traditional symbol of champions, so be sure to wear that, too, if you have one. And for the finishing touch you can carry the torch (or maybe one of the 4th of July sparklers!)

If you have never been to a Pandanda Game Day, you are in for an awesome time! On Saturday, every multiplayer game will award double Coins . 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. You can play those games as many times as you want because there is no limit to the number of Pandanda Coins you can win!

You will also want to keep a sharp look-out for the Moderators and me at Misty Hill and Darby Field for your chance to win Panda Gold in special games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill. We will host as many games as we can, trying to give as many pandas as possible to chance to win Panda Gold. Instead of awarding 25 Gold for 1st place and 10 Gold for 2nd place like we usually do, we will award 250 Gold to 1st place and 100 Gold to 2nd place!

Saturday is going to be a spectacular day! I can't wait!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Ancient Games Day Next Saturday!

Hey there, Panda Pals! Yes, you read the title of this post correctly. In honor of the huge world-wide athletic event that begins in London next Friday, I had a really cool idea for Game Day on Saturday. Since Greece was the birthplace of the Olympics, let's all wear our togas from the Summer Festival and pretend we are having Game Day back in ancient Greece! (Don't worry if you don't have a toga - you can still play!)

On Game Day, every multiplayer game will award double Coins . 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!

You will also 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!

Don't forget, today is the last day to trade 10 Golden Tickets to Zing Ballyhoo for this week's prize. He will have a brand new prize bright and early Monday morning!

Party on, Pandas!

Pandanda Welcomes Zing!

Zing Ballyhoo is back in Pandanda! His gold and blue tent was delayed, but it finally arrived and has been set up. That didn't stop Zing from hiding his Golden Tickets all over Pandanda!

I see lots of you have already collected and traded 10 Golden Tickets to Zing for his first prize. He seems to be in a sporting mood. I bet you can guess what he was inspired by!

Remember, you have until Sunday night (Pandanda Time) to collect 10 Golden Tickets and trade them to Zing for this week's prize. He will have a new prize on Monday.

Happy Collecting!
Henry

Get Ready for Zing Ballyhoo!

Zing Ballyhoo is on his way back to Pandanda! He will be setting up his tent and scattering his Golden Tickets all over the island on Monday. Then he will sit back and wait for you to bring him 10 Golden Tickets to trade for his first fabulous prize! You'll have all week to collect tickets.

Zing always has an interesting selection of prizes that he collects during his adventures away from Pandanda. I can't wait to see what he has for us this time!

Happy Hunting!

Lucky Friday the 13th Elite Winners!

Friday the 13th is over, and there won't be another one this year. Sheriff Steele and I made it a lucky day for lots of pandas who received surprise treats of 25 Panda Gold. We gave out Panda Gold to so many pandas that I didn't even try to count! Were you one of them?

13 extra-lucky pandas were chosen at random yesterday to win 1-month Elite Membership Gift Certificates. Congratulations to 1Snow1, Conggo, edgircrv, Lalence, Mintzie, PANDEDUDE, PinkStiletto, Ralucacristi, RooniePanda7, Slayker, Suveka3172, v1214, and ZAGU. Each of those players had a 1-month Elite Gift Certificate sent to the email address that their account is registered to.

I was amazed to see all of the different parts of the world where those winners live. See if you can find all of these countries on a map: Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Latvia, New Zealand, Peru, Romania, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Pandanda covers the globe!

Here are a few pictures Sheriff Steele and I took during our visits yesterday. Enjoy!

Feeling Lucky!

Wishing for some felix felicis with Henry

Friday the 13th - Your Lucky Day?

The last Friday the 13th of the year has arrived, and it's going to be a GREAT day! Nothing to be afraid of, here! If you play Pandanda today, you could be one of the 13 LUCKY random pandas to win a 1-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate. 2 players have already been chosen. I will tell you who the winners are in my blog tomorrow!

Sheriff Steele has already surprised lots of pandas with 25 Panda Gold today, and he's just getting started! I will be joining him throughout the day, helping to make Friday the 13th just a little bit luckier for our friends. You might not always see us when we are giving Gold, because we are being sneaky! It's fun to surprise you!

Lucky, lucky, lucky!
Henry

More July Fun!

Lucky Friday the 13th will be starting soon, with a chance for 13 pandas to win a 1-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate. Remember, all you have to do to have a chance to win is to play Pandanda. How easy is that? Winners will be announced in my blog on Saturday.

Zing Ballyhoo will be returning to Pandanda on Monday with his Golden Tickets and special prizes. I wonder what kind of items he found for us during his travels? We'll all just have to wait until Monday to find out!

You will want to mark your calendars to make sure you don't miss Pandanda Game Day on Saturday the 28th. On Game Day you can earn double coins for every multi-player game that you play, plus the chance to win Panda Gold from Moderators in Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill.

See you on the 13th!
Henry

Friday the 13th, Part 3!

Did you know that this year has three Friday the 13ths in it? We've already made it through the ones in January and April, and now it's time for the third and, thankfully, the last one of the year! And here's something really cool that I just found out - each of the Friday the 13ths this year are exactly 13 weeks apart!

Here in Pandanda, we don't believe in bad luck. So just like I did in January and April, I am going to make Friday the 13th a very lucky day for some pandas! I am going to award a one-month Elite Membership Gift Certificates to 13 - yes, 13 -  random pandas who log into Pandanda between 12am and 11:59pm Pandanda Time this Friday (the 13th). All you have to do to have a chance to win is just play Pandanda! I will announce the names of the winners on Saturday.

In case that isn't enough lucky stuff happening on Friday the 13th, Sheriff Steele and I will make it even LUCKIER with some surprise visits to give out Panda Gold. It's going to be a super awesome day!

Party on, Pandas!

July Celebraton Ends Today!

Hi Friends!

I hope you have enjoyed the July Celebration this week. Tonight will be your last night to enjoy the fireworks in Pandanda's night skies - at least until the next July Celebration! But you can have your own personal fireworks any time you want, as long as you have gotten the free sparkler from the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. If you don't have it yet, make sure to pick it up today, before the July Celebration ends.

Check out the album of the 4th of July Pictures you sent in. I am always impressed by how creative you all are! Keep it up!

Here are some pictures from my visits on the 4th. Can you spot yourself in any of them?

Everyone was really rocking the Red White & Blue on the 4th of July! I had a great time visiting and enjoying the sparklers and fireworks with you. You all really know how to celebrate!

I am working on uploading and making a photo album of the 4th of July pictures you sent to me. I should have it ready on Sunday, and I'll post a link to it here in my Blog. Here are just a few of the awesome pictures I received:

Happy 4th of July!

Today is the day that the USA celebrates Independence Day! But no matter where you live, you can enjoy the music, decorations and fireworks around Pandanda. And don't forget to pick up your free gift from the Clothing Co. on East Market Street. It is very sparkly!

I will be making some surprise random visits during the day today, and I want to see everyone dressed in their finest red, white, and blue outfits! Just in case I miss some of you during my visits, I'd love for you to send in a screenshot of you and your friends celebrating the 4th in red, white, and blue! Just send your picture to screenshots@pandanda.com with Red White and Blue as the subject. I will make an album of your pictures, and choose some for my blog!

Party patriotically!
Henry

Color the 4th Red White & Blue!

Hi Panda Pals!

I hope you are enjoying the decorations, music, and especially the fireworks of the July Celebration. Mr. McWiggles certainly is! In fact, the 4th of July is his FAVORITE holiday! You probably guessed that by the way he has decorated the Big Scoop Ice Cream shop in red, white, and blue stars and stripes.

McWiggles LOVES the 4th of July!

Make sure to drop by the Big Scoop to check out the decorations. While you are there, ask Mr. McWiggles to build you his special Red White & Blue Ice Cream Cone. One scoop of cherry, one of vanilla, and one of blueberry. And if you really like ice cream, get two scoops of each!

The fireworks in the night skies are pretty awesome (especially from my favorite place, Shady Glen), but wouldn't it be cool to carry around your own personal mini-firework any time of the day? Well, now you can! Just head over to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street to pick up your free July Celebration gift from the clothing catalog.

I plan to visit Pandanda for the 4th of July tomorrow, and I want to see everyone in red, white, and blue! Use Panda Paint, clothes, shoes, hats, accessories, and whatever you have in your closet. Don't forget about your player card background! Can you be as red, white, and blue and the Big Scoop?

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Summer Festival Ends Today!

You’ve still got some time to collect pineapples and trade them to Kapono before Summer Fest ends today, but hurry! Make sure to trade your pineapples to Kapono at the Fishing Hole before midnight Pandanda Time today. To be extra-sure you get your items, don't wait 'til the last minute!

Do you like fireworks? I sure do, which is why I love the July Celebration that begins tomorrow! In addition to the special decorations and music all over Pandanda Land, there will be an awesome fireworks display in the night skies of Pandanda each evening. Maybe I'll see you there!

Party on, Pandas!
