Editing Treasure Maps

{{Construction| reason=More information on the different types of Treasure Maps and ''exact'' dates certain maps were released}}
'''Treasure Maps''' is a collecting game released on February 29, 2000, where users are required to collect nine pieces of a map to find a buried treasure. Each actual map piece is an [[item]], This means the pieces can be stolen, [[Trading Post|traded]], sold, [[Auction House|auctioned]], turning into a [[Pile of Sludge]], etc. Map pieces are acquired through a [[Random Event]] or bought through the [[Shop]] of a user who acquired it through a Random Event themselves.

Once used to obtain either a prize or access to a special service, depending on the map type, the nine pieces of each map are lost.

Released on November 13th 2000, and awards you a random NP value (7,000-30,000), along with access to the '''Lab Ray''' which is run by the [[Lab Ray Scientist]]. The Lab was announced on November 9th 2000 but pieces were not released until the 13th. He can zap a user's [[Neopet]] with the Lab Ray once per day, with a random (and permanent) outcome:
* Raises/Lowers Neopet's stats (level, hit points, strength, etc.)
* Changes the gender of Neopet
* Nothing happens
* Changes Neopet to random basic-coloured (red, yellow, green, blue) species 
** It is unclear whether it is possible to zap a Neopet into a [[Krawk]] or [[Draik]]. However, all other species, including [[Limited Edition]] Neopets, are available.
* Changes random colour of Neopet
** '''Limitations''': The Lab Ray will never zap [[Baby]], [[Pirate]], [[Plushie]], [[Quiguki]], [[Royal]], or [[Usuki]].
** '''Lab-exclusive colours:''' [[8-Bit]], [[Alien]], [[Chocolate]], [[Clay]], [[Coconut]], [[Custard]], [[Colour|Garlic]], [[Ice]], [[Jelly (colour)|Jelly]], [[Colour|Mallow]], [[MSP]], [[Robot]], [[Snot]], [[Sponge]]

[[MSP]] and [[Robot]] are the only colours that are truly exclusive to the Lab Ray; all other colours can be attained through a [[Fountain Faerie]] quest, [[Chia Pop]], or [[Paint Brush]]. 

On April 20, 2011, the Secret Laboratory Map pieces were updated with a new look. To celebrate, the Lab Ray Scientist gave 100 users free access to the Lab Ray.

Announced on 3 August 2005, and can only be completed after the '''Secret Laboratory Map''' has been completed. Rewards a random NP value (8,000-12,000), and access to the '''Petpet Lab ray'''. A Neopet's [[Petpet]] can be zapped by this once per day, which randomly (and semi-permanently) changes the following properties:
* Species of the Petpet
* Colour of the Petpet
* Level of the Petpet
* Name of the Petpet
* Make it disappear completely (small chance, but still possible)

Petpets who are zapped by the Petpet Lab ray are ineligible to be rewarded by the [[Petpet Protection League]], as they deem it to be a cruel action against a Petpet.

Changes to the Petpet (other than complete destruction) can be reversed by unequipping it from the Neopet. This will reverse all changes, not just the most recent ones. The Petpet will be returned to its original form.
