The history of the Phantom Vortex, today's clue & prize are the same as yesterday's!

Hello!  ~(^◡^)~
I'm so tired, school is a horrible, horrible thing T^T
Anyway, today we have three new spooky items, unfortunately all are member only but I guess we can still hope for something for all Jammers tomorrow, right?
Right! >:O

Outback Imports. Hmm... I guess it's quite... bendy....crooked...

Bahari Bargains, this one is actually quite scary. Just look at that grin, and those eyes... O.o

Got your costumes sorted yet? I really have to do that, so far my AJ ideas are:

*Evil Vampire princess (HA HA HA. HA!!!! You heard nothing.)

*A ghost :3

* A witch >:D

*I don't really know.

Hopefully, yesterday's prize helped you sort your costume out, or at least gave you some inspiration. There is going to be a new token available today, to add to your collection ^-^

If you missed out on yesterday's token, that's tough, but don't stop collecting as the more you have, the better!

Anyway, a new page has been added to the blog yesterday-- Animal Jam FAQ! The page answers the most common questions I find that are asked around Jamaa, and I will keep updating it. Hopefully, it will help out newer Jammers, and I hope they will find it useful! I know for a fact that I felt very lost on my first day, so I hope to make it easier for all those new to Jamaa right now. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on the page- you will receive reliable and honest answers so you don't waste your time trying to do a 'cheat' that doesn't even work, or a code that does not exist.

CleverQueen also wants to say that she has a side topic today.

You might find it extremely interesting, or you might find it so dull that you want to exit the tab right now- and that's fine. You can! ^-^

So, there are currently several portals scattered around the lands, that look like this...

Stepping on one will lead you to the Phantom Vortex, an exclusive location only available during the Day of the Phantoms celebrations. It has some pretty funky music too, yes. 

The highlight of the Phantom Vortex is the game you can play in it- Phantoms! It is a game with a pretty simple concept, but it can get quite frustrating and difficult at some points! You need to protect your candy from the light-hating phantoms, by leading them off into the blue parts using your torch.

Once you defeat all the phantoms, you move to the next level. Level 1 has one phantom, Level 2 has two... and I suppose it goes on for a while and stops at a specific number.

The game also awards gems, but the biggest part is the prize that can be earned by completing Level 5!

Every year, there is a different prize up for grabs in this game in October, when the weather cools and the leaves turn into warm shades of brown, red and orange, and that prize is a unique and fun item. It has changed every year so far, and there have been 5 different prizes.

Below are the prizes for the past years, ever since the first prize was awarded in 2010!

Do you have the full set? How many do you have? Which ones do you like, and which ones don't you like as much?

2010- Scarecrow

This original, spooky den item based on a tiger gives a spooky feel to any den, and is quite a useful item for trading now. This is not just an excellent decoration for Day of the Phantoms- it is quite useful all year round! You can also decorate those a bit, and it doesn't look out of place in a Summer den. This is a very universal item. 

2011- Tall Phantom Statue

This spooky den item comes in 5 different variations. It is a tall, grey statue of a phantom that can also be seen in Jamaa Township instead of Mira during the Day of the Phantoms celebrations. Around it, is a bright, coloured glow. This item, as I said, comes in 5 different types- each a different colour. They are- Red,Yellow,Green, Blue and Pink. Did you know that by putting two of those directly on top of each other, you can make a new colour? For example, try putting green and blue together on top of each other, and you get a beautiful turquoise! This technique also works for 2013's heavy phantom statues.

2012- Phantom Fountain

Ah, I still remember winning mine. 

This fountain is a great decoration, and can also be used in non-spooky dens. It shows a phantom that appears to be made of metal in a sitting position, with a sword, on a chair. Below that fountain is water flowing down a ... well... cube. It can be quite a soothing den item at times, and compliments many dens well! This also makes spooky dens even more spooky, and looks amazing outdoors anywhere.

It's also a very original item!

2013- Heavy Phantom Statue

Very similar to 2011's tall phantom statue, this item looks great in spooky dens. It is however shorter and wider than the tall phantom statue, but comes in the same 5 colours- blue,green, red, yellow and pink. It is a rather large item, and looks quite nice with the tall phantom statue too. However, it looks just as great alone. A fantastic decoration!

2014- Phantom Scarecrow

Quite similar to 2010's original scarecrow, this is a more spooky version and based on a phantom. It is less universal and more suited to spooky dens, but still looks amazing. It is great for Day of the Phantoms parties, and also gives off an aura of fright. It is quite dark, and very seasonal! 

Unfortunately, I really do apologise but I have to keep the prize and clue for yesterday's prize the same today due to a lack of time. I will update it tomorrow, but it means that you can get yesterday's prize if you missed out : ]

Sorry!

Here's the clue again: Questions.

Two bonus hints:

*It's a page

*CQ

If you know what CQ stands for, you will probably be dashing off to the relevant page now ^-^

So... the prize for today...

Questions, CQ, and it's a page!

Bye bye!
