Happy Pets developer Crowdstar introduced a set of three “pandora pets” today, inspired by the blue cat aliens in Avatar. These animals come with a special twist, however – they can’t actually be purchased from the Happy Pets shop.

The only way to earn them is via consecutive Happy Pets logins. If a player checks in every day for 14 days they are awarded the spotted blue Pandora Pig. Log in 21 days straight, and a player earns the Pandora Ferret. If a player can manage to log in for an impressive 28 days straight, they will be awarded the Pandora Dog.

Since there’s no other way to obtain these animals, if you visit a neighbor next month and they have this dog, then you will know they are a truly dedicated Happy Pets player.

Happy Island developer Crowdstar released two limited edition wizard themed attractions today. Like the rest of Crowdstar’s pop culture-inspired updates, these items never mention Harry Potter by name, but the inspiration is clear.

The Wizard School and the Wizard Field attractions are both for sale for 55 FB$ ($5.50). They strongly resemble Hogwarts Castle and a Quidditch pitch, respectively.

Both appear to be quite popular. Despite going on sale just a few hours ago, there are only 500 Wizard Schools 1100 Wizard Fields left for sale. Perhaps their success means more wizarding decorations and attractions will soon be in the works?

PetVille developer Zynga introduced a new game of chance, today: Genie Gems! Players that participate will have the chance to win money, clean bombs, flowers, or discover one of the genie’s 12 lost gems. If all the gems are recovered, a special bonus is earned.

Each time a player wants to try their luck a Genie Lamp must be spent. PetVille players begin with three. More can be purchased with Pet Cash, or friends can send genie lamps to one another for free.

The minigame itself is pretty simple. There are nine baskets, either containing a prize, the dreaded game over snake, or nothing. If a player uncovers the snake, it’s game over. Any prizes uncovered first are then kept.

The big question on everyone’s mind is the secret reward for finding all the genie gems. The scoop is… there isn’t just a single reward. Players are given the chance to choose from three secret (and seemingly random) genie rewards. Clean Bomb 10-packs and two Pet Cash are confirmed prizes.

FrontierVille from Zynga has been going strong since it launched earlier this month. In fact, it is already one of the biggest games on Facebook! The first week the game experienced some growing pains, but things seem to have settled down, and the FrontierVille team is already bringing out new buildings, crops, and plenty more.

The most recent new addition is a social game staple: mystery crates! The FrontierVille Mystery crate works a little differently than FarmVille’s – Rather than featuring exclusive decorations or animals, it instead contains six random collection items. So, with luck a player could purchase one to help complete that hard-to-finish collection. It is for sale for 25 horseshoes.

FishVille developer Zynga finally introduced a new item theme this week: Deep Sea Abyss! So far just a few decorations are available, but based on previous FishVille expansions (and on the preview loading image), many more are undoubtedly on the way.

The new items are: Brisingid Starfish, Sunken Propeller, Submarine Wreck, and Green Anemone. Both creatures are being sold for Sand Dollars, and both decorations are for sale for coins.

New Deep Sea Abyss background and floor environments are also available, for players that want to give their tank a darker, more foreboding atmosphere.
