Operation: Petpet Park was a plot that was used as a way to introduce Neopets users to Neopets' sister site, Petpet Park. The plot began on September 4, 2008 and concluded on October 28, 2008. It followed the story of a group of three agents from the Petpet Protection League as they were sent out on missions to retrieve six new types of Petpets from special portals connecting Neopia to Petaria. Along the way, the trio had to outsmart a rouge agent named Yurius.

During beta testing, most of the Operation: Petpet Park characters were removed from Petpet Park and were replaced by new Petpet characters. As such, it is unclear whether or not the events of Operation: Petpet Park are still part of Neopets' canon.

User Participation

During the plot, users were sent on six different "missions". Each of these missions invovled solving some sort of puzzle in order to reach a group of Petpets.

Mission 1

Users had to chose the correct tunnels.

Mission 1 was released on September 4, 2008. To complete this mission, users had to navigate a simple maze located in a cave within Terror Mountain. Upon entering this cave, users were presented with two tunnels: one leading to the left and one leading to the right. If the correct tunnel was chosen, the user would be presented with a new set of tunnels. If the incorrect tunnel was chosen, the user would encounter a pack of vicious Snowbeasts and have to start the maze over from the beginning. The correct path through the tunnels was the same for every user: right, left, left, right, left, right. At the end of the maze, users could click on a large blank wall of the cave to reveal a portal and retrieve a Drym.

Mission 2

The Moonlight Opal sits next to the window.

Mission 2 was released on September 9, 2008. To complete this mission, players had to rotate a special stone, called the Moonlight Opal, so that it refracted the moonlight from a nearby window onto three special markings. The player had to light all three marking within a certain period of time. If the user was too slow, the moon would shift positions and the user would have to start over from the beginning. After successfully bathing all three markings in moonlight, the user would open a portal and find a Hifflo.

Mission 3

Which portal contains the Pinixies?

Mission 3 was released on September 17, 2008. During this mission, users were presented with several portals and had to check each of these portals until they found one that lead to a group of Pinixies. If the user chose an incorrect portal, they would have to close that portal before they were allowed to check a different portal. To close a portal, users had to set the correct frequency on Mick's C.A.R.P. device and then push the red button on the bottom of the device. If the user set the correct frequency, the portal would close. If they set the wrong frequency, the readout of the C.A.R.P. would tell the player how far away they were from the correct frequency. For example, if the readout displayed -3, the user would have to move the slider down by three notches to reach the correct frequency. The frequency needed to close each portal was randomly selected.

Rewards

At the conclusion of each plot comic, users could follow links to complete several puzzles based around locating the Petpets. Unlike in previous plots, there was no time bonus for completing each step quickly.

Unlike in previous plots, no trophies were awarded at the conclusion.

However, prizes were awarded. Users who participated were given access to the Operation: Petpet Park site theme. Users were also awarded a amount of Neopoints based on the number of missions they completed, the maximum being 45,000 Neopoints. Finally, users who participated gained access to a unique wearable item within the Petpet Park game: Park Badge Beanie (shown in the pic up right)

Trivia

The 5th mission makes reference to the Tale of Woe plot when the caretaker gives Mick the shovel he says, "Oh no! More gravedigging! My arms are still tired from a couple of years ago..."

 ===Mission 4===
-On [[Mystery Island]], the agents discovered that they had arrived too late. Yurius had already arrived and claimed the [[Kassegat]]s. He hid them within a temple on the island, behind several traps. However, the agents were able to use quick thinking to overcome them by a moderator named [[Phil]], and rescued the Petpets.

 ===Mission 5===
-Next, on the hunt for [[Oukin]]s, the agents were dispatched to the [[Haunted Woods]]. Once again, Yurius had managed to get there first, and left yet another cryptic note for the agents. They soon discovered the Oukins, locked within one of the graveyard's tombs.

 ===Mission 6===
-Finally, the agents were dispatched to [[Maraqua]] on the hunt for [[Dipni]]s. However, Yurius sprang a trap on the agents, trapping them within a gradually flooding device. Yurius trapped himself within a similar device, and claimed that whoever escaped first was the better [[PPL]] agent. As the agents figured out the solution to the keypad lock on the trap, Yurius discovered that his own solution had become damp with the water, and the ink had run. The agents escaped, and agreed to free Yurius rather than let him drown. Yurius meanwhile, had a startling flashback to his entrance exam with the PPL. Then, just as in the trap, he had used a pen instead of a pencil, causing him to be fired. It was this that had caused him to seek revenge. The agents returned both Yurius and the Petpets to Weltrude, and she prepared to open the Petpet Park to the rest of [[Neopia]].
