The eighth annual [[Games Master Challenge]] began on November 25, 2013 and concluded on December 2, 2013.  As with previous events, each day users were given [[Games Room]] related challenges to complete. This year, the theme of the event was Sun vs Moon. Users could either join Team Sun, lead by [[Siyana]], or Team Moon, lead by [[Princess Lunara]].  The challenges issued to each user differed depending on which team they joined.
For the first time since 2009, [[Lulu]] did not appear in conjunction with this event. Instead, players could visit [[Reslen]]'s planetarium in the [[NC Mall]].

*Several of [[Siyana]]'s image files associated with the event refer to her as ''Amira'', indicating that [[Princess Amira]] was to be the leader of ''Team Sun'' originally. It is speculated that Siyana was put into the event late in it's development due to the quality of her artwork.<ref><small>[http://images.neopets.com/games/gmc/2013/popup_amira.png <nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/games/gmc/2013/popup_amira.png</nowiki>] Images such as this one read 'Amira' but display 'Siyana'.</small></ref>

== References ==
Judging by the file names of [[Siyana]]'s images - e.g. ''<nowiki>http://images.neopets.com/games/gmc/2013/popup_amira.png</nowiki>'' - the original leader of Team Sun was meant to be [[Princess Amira]].

After Brains beat Brawn and Ninjas beat Pirates in previous years, this year saw Team Sun lead by Siyana compete with Team Moon led by Princess Lunara. Players could join one of the two teams to help them win the competition. The two teams received some different challenges to each other.

For the first time since 2009, Lulu did not appear in conjunction with this event. Instead, players could visit Reslen's planetarium in the NC Mall.
