Revision as of 17:14, 1 December 2011
| This article documents a current event. Information may update rapidly as the event progresses. |
The sixth installment of the Games Master Challenge began on November 21, 2011. That year, the siblings were being more competitive than usual, asking the Neopian players to choose a side, either being a Brain, siding with AAA, or a Brawn siding with Abigail.
The event started with an argument in the news dated 22 November 2011 with AAA's words written in red and Abigail's in blue. In it, the two siblings argue over whether brains or brawn is more important and, to settle the debate, AAA issues a Games Master Challenge.
With the announcement of the end of the event on 30 November 2011 and the victory of Team Brains AAA and Abigail had another conversation in the news of that date announcing the prizes and AAA's victory.

She decides that she'll take advantage of their distraction in the challenge to sneak into their rooms and run off with some of their possessions. If a player purchased a key for one or both of the rooms from the Mall for 700 NC each, they would be able to sneak in with Lulu each day of the event and grab a unique item for that day.

Though the prizes awarded were the same regardless of which team a player joined, their trophy reflects the team, with a brain on a pedestal or cup for Team Brains and a victorious fist over a trophy cup or pedestal for Team Brawn. Players who joined Team Brains were awarded a special bonus prize, Brains vs. Brawn Frame and members of Team Brawn were given a Fabulous Paper Cone Hat. Additionally, to players who finished each challenge on the day it was released, the Brains vs. Brawn Stamp was awarded, regardless of their team membership.
