From 18 November 2011 to 29 November 2011, visiting the pages for ''[[Bloons TD 4 (Flash)|Bloons TD 4]]'' or ''[[Bloons TD 4 Expansion]]'' on Ninja Kiwi's website would display an image teasing a feature of the game. The image would change on each day. These teasers were presented as "leaks" from a "shady gentleman claiming to be from something called the [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD5)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]]".<ref>{{cite|archive url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111228022142/http://ninjakiwi.com:80/blog/dripdripdri/|title=Drip, drip, drip…something is leaking|publisher=Ninja Kiwi Blog|author=Chris Harris|archive timestamp=20111228022142|date=Nov 17, 2011}}</ref> These images were later compiled on the teaser website.

|Date: 18th of November 2011
 
Today I observed a new upgrade to the [[Tack Shooter (BTD5)|tack towers]], the "[[Tack Sprayer (BTD5)|Tack Sprayer]]". What they appear to have done is alter the firing mechanism to allow for 16 tacks per volley instead of 8. This should prove quite useful.
|-

|[[File:BTD5F secret note 2.png|100px]]
|Date: 19th of November 2011
 
Today I witnessed what I believe is called the "[[Bionic Boomer (BTD5)|Bionic Boomer]]" which is the result of research into both arm speed (through bionic arm upgrades) and special composite boomerangs to provides{{sic}} astonishing power and flight speed.
|-

|[[File:BTD5F secret note 3.png|100px]]
|Date: 20th of November 2011
 
Following the smell of burning rubber, today I ventured upon an awesome sight. [[Monkey Apprentice (BTD5)|Monkey apprentices]] apparently have perfected a new spell upgrade - "[[Dragon's Breath (BTD5)|Dragon's Breath]]".
|-
!4
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 4.png|100px]]
|Date: 21st of November 2011
 
Further advances into [[Corrosive Glue (BTD5)|corrosive glues]] have lead{{sic}} to the new upgrade I saw today. The "[[Bloon Dissolver (BTD5)|Bloon Dissolver]]" eats through the Bloons much faster than previously. Not a nice way to go if you're made of rubber...
|-

|[[File:BTD5F secret note 5.png|100px]]
|Date: 22nd of November 2011
 
Though late to naval warfare, the monkeys proved again why they shouldn't be underestimated. I was lucky enough to witness a field test of a "[[Destroyer (BTD5)|Destroyer]]", a very high firerate ship. A joy to behold.
|-
!6
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 6.png|100px]]
|Date: 23rd of November 2011
 
I must admit I had been wondering how the monkeys had been able to fund the technological advances they've been making. The answer is this, the "[[Monkey Bank (BTD5)|Monkey Bank]]". Pays interest each round.
|-
!7
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 7.png|100px]]
|Date: 24th of November 2011
 
Today I was able to get a sneak peek of something really cool! The monkeys have developed an upgrade to the [[Monkey Ace (BTD5)|Monkey Ace]] called "[[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD5)|Neva-Miss Targeting]]". Darts that intelligently seek out targets. Wow!
|-
!8
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 8.png|100px]]
|Date: 25th of November 2011
 
Seems like overkill isn't a word in the monkey vocabulary. Today I saw a Monkey{{sic}} don this incredible suit, the "[[Robo Monkey (BTD5)|Robo-Monkey]]". Two independently targetting plasma cannons. Nuf said.
|-
!9
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 9.png|100px]]
|Date: 26th of November 2011
 
Today I was thrilled to see an advancement in my favourite tower, the [[Bomb Tower (BTD5)|Bomb Tower]]. Not much to look at but you should see it firing! The "[[Cluster Bombs (BTD5)|Cluster Bomb]]"{{sic}} upgrade has Bombs within Bombs! Bombception!
|-
!10
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 10.png|100px]]
|Date: 27th of November 2011
 
Today I was surprised to see a further upgrade to what is already cutting edge tech. The [[Dartling Gun (BTD5)|Dartling tower]] has a new boost, "[[Hydra Rocket Pods (BTD5)|Hydra Rockets]]" which replaces darts with tiny rockets. A study in awesomology.
|-
!11
|[[File:BTD5F secret note 11.png|100px]]
|Date: 28th of November 2011
 
Today was very special. The monkeys seem to have some [[Special Agent|mercenaries]] to aid their cause and I was lucky enough to spot the "[[Bee Keeper (BTD5)|Beekeeper]]" a BEAR no less! Seems he has been trained to fight the good fight.

Those clever little monkeys. Now, understanding supply lines, they've been able to add support to their regular towers through "[[Monkey Village (BTD5)|Monkey Village]]s". These units provide an array of benefits to towers within a radius.

[[File:WWTBAB icon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
{{main|Who Wants To Be A Bloonionaire?}}
{{main|Who Wants To Be A Bloonionaire?}}
''Who Wants To Be A Bloonionaire?'' was a small trivia Flash game released to promote ''Bloons TD 5''. The game presented a series of trivia questions about the {{series|Bloons TD}}, and if all 10 questions were answered correctly in a row, the game presented the player with a trailer for ''BTD5''. It was released a few days before the trailer was officially uploaded to YouTube.

==Releases==
===Kongregate===
The Kongregate release uses Kongregate's account system for saves and high scores. Following the discontinuation of Adobe Flash at the end of 2020, the site began using [[wp:Ruffle (software)|Ruffle]] to emulate Flash games on browsers that disabled Flash, though ''BTD5'' currently doesn't work on Ruffle.
===Newgrounds===
The Newgrounds release used Ninja Kiwi's account system, though it no longer supports logging in. It was last updated for v130131.01, the update that introduced [[Z Factor]] and [[The Eye]]. Following the discontinuation of Adobe Flash at the end of 2020, it can only be played on Ruffle or the Newgrounds Player.
