Places of Interest

Pick Your Own - On the western side of Meri Acres lies a vast farm, which contains berries of every shape and colour. The Gelert farmer there is very harsh with trespassers, but if you feel that you absolutely MUST pick some berries, then he'll allow you to pick up to six berries from his field for only 400 NP!

Guess the Weight of the Marrow - The only living thing in Meridell that could've ever been compared to the size of the Turmaculus was Old Bessie, the biggest marrow ever grown in Meridell. In her honour, the farmers of Meri Acres hold a daily competition, challenging tourists to guess the weight of the biggest marrow to be found that day. It's free to play, so drop on by and have a guess!

Potato Counter - One of the earliest games created in Meridell was as simple as counting potatoes! Come to think of it... that's exactly what the game was! Alton dumps a basket of his potatoes on the ground, and he'll reward you if you can count them correctly in a short amount of time. It's free to play, but most people can't seem to stay interested long enough to actually count them all.

Rubbish Dump - One of the less appealing tourist attractions of Meri Acres is none other than the Rubbish Dump. After all, the trash from the castle has to go somewhere. Those who are brave, and have a poor sense of smell, often wade through the trash there, looking for little treasures among the rubbish. Several farmers have said they've even found rare Petpets around the heap, who apparently were attracted by the intoxicating smell of soggy cardboard boxes.

Extreme Potato Counter - Poor little Alton has got some serious competition these days. A Wocky who was just too cool for the average life of a farmer decided to add a little "oomph" to the farmlands, and introduced his new game, Extreme Potato Counter. For those who fail to take an interest in counting stationary potatoes, you can now experience the thrill of trying to do the same thing while they're being launched back and forth in front of you Best if played with 2 people!
