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
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
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
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.
