Introducing our new image upload service... Mara.Pics
Back in 2004 when MaraPets first launched, players needed a way to upload the images they use for their profiles, signatures, clubs, MaraSites, etc so
MaraUploads was launched.
Even though it was very basic and only gave each player 1MB of space, providing that to thousands of people for FREE was both expensive and a lot of hassle. In
November 2009 we finally discontinued MaraUploads - there were much better FREE options on the internet and it simply did not provide us with good value for money.
Fast forward to today (ten and a half years later!!) and
Mara.Pics has opened today for
beta testing!
We believe once again that MaraPets players needed a quick and easy service to upload their images for FREE and will explain how and why in this news post.
This service is provided FREE of charge to all 
Level 18 or higher players.
As your level increases, so does the amount of features and space you can use. Players can currently receive as much as 1GB (1,000MB) of FREE space, with lots of plans to increase and improve the service in the future.
You can simply visit
https://mara.pics/ domain for now to access the service. It will automatically log you in if you are logged in MaraPets.
We have worked hard to make sure that
Mara.Pics is very quick and easy to use and will explain some of its features below:
There are several ways to upload an image - we only accept PNG, JPG and GIF images. You can press the
Browse button to upload multiple photos from your computer, tablet or mobile device.
You can also select files from your computer and simply
Drag & Drop them into the grey area that says 'Drop your photos here'.
Level 30 and higher can take and upload photos directly from their mobile, tablet or laptop's camera - or webcam if they have one.
If you are working on graphics from many programs, like Photoshop, GIMP, etc you can copy any image direct from this program and simply
Paste It (Ctrl + V) into the Mara.Pics upload page and it will automatically upload what you have copied!
Once uploaded, you can view your
Photos in order of most recently uploaded or use the
Organise section to move, rename and organise your photos into different folders.
We even made each photo preview look like the
Photo items on Marapets!
Even for those who do not have any images to upload or feel they have no use for this service, we've added one very useful feature! If you have an error or glitch around MaraPets that you want to report to us at the Help Forums, you can now very easily upload a
Screenshot!
Simply press the 'Prt Sc' button on your keyboard (or the screenshot buttons on your mobile/tablet device) and then when you get to the Mara.Pics upload page you can
Paste It to automatically upload it!
Upload just one image at a time and it will automatically give you the option to
Crop & Resize. We have also made it very easy for you to use any image that you upload - with quick copy and share buttons for MaraPets and social media!
Using the new
Mara.Page Builder? The images you have uploaded to Mara.Pics will automatically be loaded into the page builder allowing you to simply drag and drop images into your Mara.Page directly from Mara.Pics!
Our new and improved Marasites have been relaunched as Mara.Pages
Marasites are one of our oldest features, allowing every
Level 18 or higher player to create their own website for FREE
We've made several updates to make this easier for all players who would like to make a page of their own.
Your Mara.Page has a new shorter link using your username(s) such as
https://mara.page/Ian
You can use our new
Page Builder to create your own website without having to know any HTML coding!
Create a new page and then use the Page Builder to drag and drop your own grid. Once you have the grid how you want everything to be positioned, you can drag and drop links, images, buttons or your own HTML Code.
We only recommend you using the page builder for new pages.
When our new
Mara.Pics image upload service is launched later this year, you will be able to upload photos easily at Mara.Pics and then they'll show at the Page Builder, allowing you to click and drag these into it!
If you just want to make a simple page, you can use our new
Default Editor. It works similar to how you would send an email or use a program like Microsoft Word, allowing you to format and position the basic features you need to make your page. You do not need to know any coding to work this!
For those who do know how to use CSS/HTML, you can use the brand new
HTML Editor for Mara.Pages! It works just like a proper HTML Editing program - it'll automatically colour and format your script for you, help predict and hint with the code you are writing and automatically check for any errors. If you make a mistake, it'll give you hints!
BREAKING NEWS
King Baspinar is becoming increasingly paranoid and has hired the
Fortune Teller from Slater Park to predict his future. The outlook doesn't look great for him - she can see that there are several plots to overthrow him!
Did you know you could visit the Fortune Teller for FREE every
3 hours? The mysterious Anastasia is eager to pass on her words on wisdom to you.
Anastasia will predict your future. She will share with you her wise words or her future predictions and she is usually right! She will give you a time and date and a clue about what will happen.
What you do with her prediction is down to you.
Visit the site when she gives you an exact time and you will (most likely) receive a
Random Event. Depending on her hints, these could be good or bad but they are usually better than normal Random Events you will receive as you play.
She can also predict when you are next going to win from certain feature or game. These predictions can be between tomorrow and two weeks into the future - you will need to remember when and where and visit those days to win!
These are a great way to pass those random levels for
Goals - she will predict when you will win a Tombola game or climb higher than normal in the Jackpot Pyramid for example.
She will also help you know when your pet may next get offered a
Job Promotion.
BREAKING NEWS
After a recent period of calm, moderate weather conditions it has now started
Raining in Marada - just as our scientists predicted! The last time Marada had rain, it sadly developed into the destructive
Storm Maranormous.
Could this be the reason for King Baspinar's self isolation? Does he know something that we do not?
As always, whenever there is
Rain in Marada the following happens:
The rain has brought with it stronger winds, causing the
Windmill to spin faster and generate more electricity. You will be
guaranteed to gain a stat for your pet from it and all electricity bills will be FREE at the
Power Station.
Completing a level on any
Mission during this rain and you'll win a random
Umbrella for your Wardrobe.
The
Books,
CDs,
DVDs and
Video Game Shops all have a
2 for 1 special on all items to help you keep your pets entertained inside while it rains.
The rain has made the
Lake in Lush Lake flood. For your own safety, you cannot currently visit.
With
Lush Lake flooded from the rain, the
Coffee,
Contact Lenses,
Hair Dye,
Lipsticks and
Olympic Shops are all closed.
With the miserable rainy weather outside, pets are concentrating better at School, the Gym, Elite Gym and University and earning
Double Stats.
Pets are all working harder at their jobs as it rains outside. This means there is
TRIPLE the chance of receiving a
Job Promotion random event and
DOUBLE the chance of the promotion actually being given by your pet's boss!
While you wait for the bad weather to pass, why not play our
Puzzle Games? All games with a
Daily Raffle will have double winners for each prize! For example, the Solitaire raffle now has two winners of
£5 Account Upgrade Credits and four winners of
£2 Account Upgrade Credits
This rain has the residents of Marada doing a lot more indoor activities, like
Shopping. But it also is a chance for
Shopkeepers like you to increase your shop sales and the amount of items you have on sale! Upgrading your
Shop Size is currently
Half Price!
And finally, Queen Eleka will be giving out extra
FREE Loyalty Raffle Tickets for players who fill up and price their own
Shops. While she won't reveal her secret formula, the more new items you add and price in your Shop, the more extra tickets she will give out!
BREAKING NEWS
The residents of
Vortex Park love a bargain and many of its residents are extreme couponers. To help you bag countless freebies, discounts and two for one offers around Marada, you can spin the new

You may also receive your own personal
Account Upgrades Credit bonus, valid for one transaction within the next 24 hours. The bonus can be 30% extra bonus credit, or if you are really lucky you could receive
35% extra credit bonus - the highest promotion that we ever have, usually only possible once a year for 72 hours of

BREAKING NEWS
For centuries archeologists have been trying to uncover the secrets of the lost world of Simeria without success. The
Simerian Explorer first realised that Runes were the key to understanding its ancient language but this still wasn't enough.
Several missing letters from this ancient language were found at the top of a newly discovered Simerian Temple, unknown to residents until
Storm Maranormous cleared the forest that was hiding it from view. Can you rescue these missing Runes from the top of the temple?
To play
Rune Rescue you must gently click and destroy each temple block under the Rune to bring it closer to the ground, where archeologists can reach it. Be careful - each temple block is a different shape and the game will end if the Rune falls off the side.
Earn 1MP per 2 points. Earn up to the maximum of
2,000MP each play.
Rune Rescue can be played up to 3 times per day.
BREAKING NEWS
Baspinar's Castle was the first world in Marada to have electricity but they named it magic. The King still powers his castle using the same Windmill that first brought this magic energy to Marada. Legend has it that each blade of this windmill represents a different type of energy - Strength, Defence, Speed, Level, Health and of course, Magic.
The
Windmill is powered by the wind and is totally dependent on the current weather in Marada. Visit on a normal day and you can stop it from spinning. If you land on one of the six magical blades, your pet will receive a stat. If you have the
Pet Stats Giftbox in your collection, you can also select which pet will receive this stat before you play!
Visit when the weather in Marada changes and this Windmill gets very interesting...
You can play the
Windmill for FREE
once per day. Game resets at 00:00MST.
Another of our oldest features,
One in a Million has been relaunched as
Prize Drop in Lush Lake.
You can play this game for FREE once every
16 hours. All of the same prizes have been moved over to this game and new ones have been added - we've made it less frequent so that payouts can improve!
Whenever you play
Prize Drop you choose which position you would like to drop the ball from. There are ten different balls and you will be given one at random each game. Each ball has a different weight, different speed and different prizes! For example, the Beach Ball is painfully slow to drop but has better prizes, the Bowling Ball is so heavy it drops so fast you could blink and miss it if it didn't smash all of the pieces on its way down! There is even a Bootleg Ball that stops and gives you a very creepy stare as it falls!
When the ball finishes its journey down to the bottom, you will win the prize at the bottom. The first prize (first from the left) is either a Millionaire Plushie or Enchanted Millionaire Plushie from the prize list. The second prize is a random Gym stat for one of your pets. The third prize is nothing, while the fourth prize position is a random, smaller amount of MP. The fifth prize slot is a random School or University stat. Land in the sixth prize slot (the one far right) and you'll win a higher prize of MP - which can reach as high as
1,000,000MP for some balls!
BREAKING NEWSIt's been a crazy six weeks since King Baspinar's
Palladium Jubilee celebrations ended. Vortex Park has been thriving since its rebuild and the pirates of Dukka Caves have been busy with new, top secret construction projects.
No one has seen or heard from the King in over a month. He ended his celebrations in anger, launching his sword into the new
Sword in the Stone and locking himself away in his castle. The residents of Marada are not sure what to make of it.
Why is the King on self-imposed lockdown? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough! In the meantime, have your umbrellas ready - rain is forecast for Marada this week...
A new
Royal Treasure Chest is on sale at the
Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically
retire June 30th. You can open this item to receive 8 different, random new items, including new clothes, wigs, footwear, minipet, gourmet food, weapons and accessories. You will not receive duplicate items inside a single treasure chest.
A new '
Royal Palace' experience has been released. Can you find it?
Can you find these new
Hidden Avatars?
BREAKING NEWS
Our second level based
Game has been released.
Pumpkin Patch has been added to Undying Woods and has
50 levels for you to complete. The Undying Woods Pumpkin Patch is busy all year round growing pumpkins in time for the annual Pumpkin Hunt. Ed, Ted, Fred, Dead, Wed, Dread, Unwed, Shred and Misread the patch scarecrows take turns protecting the pumpkins. It's time to clear these pumpkins for Halloween. Tap to shoot the scarecrow's head towards the Pumpkin Patch. The pumpkin in the scarecrow's hand is what will be next to shoot. Match three or more of the same Pumpkin to clear them.
Pumpkin Patch (just like Pearl Hurl) has
Level Reward Prizes. These are one time prize rewards you will win as a bonus prize for each level. You only receive these once, as you can only complete each level once. You can play Pumpkin Patch up to
4 times per day for FREE. Earn 1MP per 10 points. Earn up to the maximum of
2,000MP each play - if you complete a level with MP for its Level reward, you will receive the bonus MP too! Play and complete a level for the first time and you
must send score to unlock the next level. Game resets at 00:00MST.
The main prize for this game is being able to feed any pet any Pumpkin from the
Pumpkin Hunt Prize List and a
Capsule Machine Token. There are 20 levels that you will earn this reward, they stack and will be saved to your account to use whenever you choose to.
Whenever you earn the 'Feed your pet any Pumpkin' reward from completing a level, you can visit the Pumpkin Patch game page at any time to redeem this reward. You will be able to choose which pet and any Pumpkin from our past Pumpkin Hunt events from this Pumpkin List. You will not receive the item but your pet will eat it and it will be added to their Gourmet Food Collection. You will also earn any Hidden Avatars or other rewards that you would normally receive from eating the item.
A new game has been added to
Candyland. After the Great Gingerbread Crisis of 2001, Candyland started to construct its houses with a newer, more flexible material -
Gummy Bricks. Houses made with these bricks are just as delicious as
Gingerbread Houses and they come in nine different shapes. You'll be given three of these different shaped bricks at once. Drag them into the grid and earn points whenever you clear a full column or row. The game will end when you have no free space in the grid to fit one of your
Gummy Bricks.
Earn 3MP per point. Earn up to the maximum of
2,000MP each play.
Gummy Bricks can be played up to 3 times per day.
For a limited time only, the retired
Party Treasure Chest from 2014 is back on sale at the
Account Upgrades Shop.
It will automatically
retire again May 18th.

Headless Costume.
The Feliz, Gonk, Lati, Murfin, Nino, Ushunda, Vixen, Walee, Wallop and Yuni can now wear the
Recycled Costume.
BREAKING NEWS
The first of a new type of
Game has been released.
Pearl Hurl has been added to Jenoa and is our first game to have levels for you to complete and unlock.
Jenoa has been home for the Clam for thousands of years but divers (and more recently the Quack Mafia) have been stealing his pearls. Stop more of these pearls being stolen in Pearl Hurl. Aim and tap for the Clam to hurl his pearl towards the chain of pearls about to be stolen. Match three or more of the same colour pearl to save them. If you manage to rescue all pearls in time you will complete the level.
Pearl Hurl (and future, similar games) will work differently to the other games we have. You can play Pearl Hurl up to
4 times per day for FREE. Earn 1MP per 10 points. Earn up to the maximum of
2,000MP each play. Game resets at 00:00MST.
What makes this game different is that there are
40 levels for you to complete. Levels get progressively harder but your score will also increase for each level. When you play a level and the game is over, you will have the choice to send score like you do with the other games.
Play and complete a level for the first time and you
must send score to unlock the next level. Each level of the game has a new type of
Level Reward you will win whenever you complete a level.
These can only be won once per level, per player.
The main
Level Rewards for this game are the chance to skip any level of the
Clam Mission and a
Capsule Machine Token.
There are 15 levels that you will earn this reward, they stack and will be saved to your account to use at the Clam whenever you need to.
Whenever you start a Clam mission, you can use one of these to pass the level without bringing the items that the Clam has asked for. You will move to the next level of the mission but you will forfeit any MP or item reward that mission level was to reward you but still gain any Hidden Avatar and pass any Goal related to that mission.
While the other games have Bonus Prizes (that you may randomly win as you play) these level based games will not. They will still have
High Score Rewards, with these extra prizes earned each time you reach a certain score, and these will be released with the High Scores List for this game in the future.
A new game has been added to
Jenoa. You can play
Echo for FREE
once per day.
Equilor have the worst memory. They swim around Jenoa making friends and having conversations but they forget it seconds later. These four Equilor will each make sounds and you will need to remember the correct sequence and repeat it back to them. The score will increase each time you repeat the sequence correctly. The sequence becomes progressively harder and longer and the game will end whenever you echo the wrong sequence.
You will earn
500MP per point for the first ten points, 400MP for the next ten points and so on. Any scores above 50 will earn an extra 100MP per point scored. Score 5 or more points and you will also receive a random
School Stat for your pet. Remember, with the
Pet Stats Giftbox in your collection, you can select which pet will receive the stat before you play!
A new game has been added to
Dukka Caves. You can play
Word Pirate for FREE
once per day.
The pirates of Dukka Caves are always on the move, sailing the seas of Marada looking for more treasure. As they travel, they experience new languages and new words. Are you a
Word Pirate? Prove it! You have
10 minutes to find as many three characters or more words (including common Marapets words) as you can. You can find words from any letters in the grid. Simply drag and highlight any connected letters, in any direction, to spell a word.
Pirating Tip - as you can spell words in every single direction, creating lines up, down, left, right, diagionally, backwards, forwards, etc it can take a little practice working the controls - especially using a mouse. We suggest that you do not send score on your first try but instead practice using the controls first, as you often need to create a line from the middle of each box in the grid.
Earn
4MP per point, up to a maximum of
7,500MP per day.
Each letter on the grid has a number on it. This is used to calculate your score, by adding up the numbers of each letter you use. This will then be multiplied by the number of letters in the word - the longer the word you find, the more points you'll earn!
Example, if you spell the word 'Winner' it could be W(2) + I(5) + N(2) + N(3) + E(1) + R(3) to make 16 points, which will then be multiplied by 6, the number of letters in the word and score 96 points.
Over 400,000 words are in the Word Pirate dictionary. However, only a limited number of three letter words (those most commonly used in the english language) will count.
You can also win between
One Dukka Coin and
Ten Dukka Coin each time you enter. The chances of winning these bonus prizes increase each time you find a long (or high scoring) word. You may also be one of three daily winners of a
Two Hundred And Fifty Dukka Coin.
A new game has been added to
Biala Mountain. You can play
Dominoes for FREE once every
8 hours.
Play a
Dominoes match against Booth, Sleuth and Ruth the Newth. Dominoes are played in a chain on the table, with each tile connected with matching ends. Each player must play one of their tiles on their turn or they hit an iceberg.
The game ends whenever a player places their last domino on the table. The winner will score the combined value of their opponent's unplayed dominoes. The first player to reach 100 or more points will win.
These Newths have been in living in Biala Mountain for hundreds of years and have never missed a day of the
Advent Calendar.
Each day they will pick a random
retired item from the past
Prize List and will each give two of them away.
Win a
Dominoes match against the Newths for
4,000MP and two entries to their daily raffle. Lose a match and you'll win
400MP and one entry.
You could be one of six daily winners of
Greatest Hits by Syn D the prize selected for today! Raffle prize changes daily at 00:00MST.
We have a lot of news and updates to keep up with but we hope you all read our Latest Update about our plans for the next couple of months. We're working really hard to release over a year's worth of planned new content, updates, games, features and rewards in April and May to keep you all entertained (and distracted) from what's going on in the world right now. By releasing content MUCH quicker than usual, it's had a little less testing than usual on all of the possible browsers, devices, operating systems, etc that you all play. We strive to make all new and existing content on Marapets work for EVERYONE equally but please be patient and help us do this by reporting any issues and bugs on any new and recent content at the Help Forums. Before creating a new topic, please check if one already exists and add more information to this. If you can, please provide screenshots of errors you experience - the more info we get, the quicker we can make things work for all!
The
Sword in the Stone game in Baspinar's Castle has been relaunched.
You can play once every
15 Minutes for
50BP if you are
Level 50 or higher,
75BP if you are
Level 25 or higher or
100BP.
If you manage to pull the sword from the stone, you will win the
MP Jackpot which has now been increased.
Even if you do not pull the sword, you may now receive a
Magic Stat or
Charisma Stat for a random pet. Remember, with the
Pet Stats Giftbox in your collection, you can select which pet will receive the stats before you play!
You may also randomly win a
Bonus Prize as you play - which includes the five King Baspinar Swords and 5 new Trading Cards.
Our plan for the future is to gradually revamp and improve each of the weapon/armour items currently used for the Battle Arena. Most of these items will eventually have two purposes - for your pets to use in Battle and for you to also collect in your Wardrobe. The five King Baspinar Swords are the first of these items to have both purposes. You can now add the King Baspinar Swords to your Wardrobe for your doll to use.
As there are hundreds of these items, this is not a project that will happen overnight! Over the next few years, we'll randomly improve several in batches or one off items here and there. It'll take several years for the majority of these changes to happen and not all items are likely to be included. What it does mean though is that battle items will no longer be neglected (it's been a long time since we've had any new battle type items) as several new wardrobe items can be used in battle and vice versa.
A new game has been released in
Simeria. You can play the classic game of
Mill once per day for FREE. Game resets at 00:00MST.
Mill starts with each player, in turns, adding one of their nine pieces on an intersection of a horizontal and a vertical line of the grid.
Whenever a player has three of their pieces in a horizontal or vertical row, they've created a
Mill and can capture any piece of their opponent. Once both players have all of their pieces on the board, they must move one of their pieces to an adjacent free space when it's their turn.
Capture seven of your opponent's pieces (so that they cannot create another Mill) to win. You cannot capture a piece from a Mill unless there are no other pieces to take. If your opponent cannot make a move on their turn you will also win the game.
If you win the game of Mill you will win
7,500MP and two entries to the raffle. If you lose or draw, you'll still win
1,750MP and one entry to the raffle. There will be three daily winners of a random
Blood prize based on raffle entries earned.
