The Birthday Party is a yearly celebration of Marapets' debut on August 15th, 2004.
Each year, Maradans tend to throw bigger and better parties at Puchalla Village. Unfortunately, the residents of Marada also get older and find it increasingly difficult to enjoy it, with so much of their time spent napping, complaining about how much Marada has changed, and getting lost en route, their time at the Birthday Party is limited.
To participate in the Birthday Party, go around the site and click on Birthday Party boxes to get Seconds to spend at the party. (They may also get Account Upgrade Credit.) Once they have at least 60 Seconds, the user can visit other online users to attempt to get an invitation to party. Otherwise, the user will either get a pinata (which can be opened for more prizes) or MP. Each player can be invited once per day.
The more Seconds the user has, the more time they will have at the party, and the more MP and Birthday Gift Bags they could win there as they fall. At the end of the event, there will also be additional prizes for those who find the most Birthday Party boxes.
The top 16 players who collect the most gifts will receive a new Trading Card and 16,000,000MP! The next 414 players will win the main item prize and either 1,000,016MP, 100,016MP, or 16,000MP.
More Information: According to Ian, the reason that the Birthday Party was relaunched (getting rid of the Birthday Hunt in the process) is that "one of the same event each year is more than enough," and that "the Pumpkin Hunt will be the only 'hunt' that remains as is."
WARNING: Posting the Birthday Box image on profiles, siggies, etc is confusing to other players and, as usual, is not allowed. If you are asked to remove the image and do not do so, your account may be frozen until the end of the Birthday celebrations.

Birthday Prizes Over the Years
Today is too special to have nothing new, though, so here is the new Dukka Town map that we have finished just in time.
Oglue Lunch
Description: Oglue Lunch was an Arcade-style Flash Game on Marapets.
Instructions: Move the Oglue with the mouse and change his color with the keyboard. The Oglue must be the same color as the food in order to eat it. The more food the Oglue eats, the higher you score.
MP Ratio: 1MP per 2 points scored
When did it all start?
On 15th August 2004, MaraPets opened as many people visited from Maraqua and created accounts. Not many of those stayed and instead fled back to Neopets, but those who did stay were in for a big surprise. The site was always growing at furious speeds. From curious, occasional users to those who had decided to make this site their home, everyone was talking about MaraPets! The site reached 300 million hits by the 17th of December 2005 which was quite an accomplishment, being only 17 months old at the time.
Marapets reached its 1st birthday on the 15th of August, 2005 and made many important changes to the site, including:
- The Terms and Conditions to the site have changed. Please read them.
- All users over 13 will now have to verify their account with an email address in order to take advantage of certain parts of the site. *There is also now a new Preferences page!
- Nine new site images have been added. These include the new Privacy Policy, Shop Search, and Terms and Conditions images. We will continue to improve and update outdated images over the next few weeks.
- A new News system has been introduced. It will now be much easier to view old news. We have deleted all news from last year as it was filled with broken images and wrong information.
