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, traded, sold, 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.

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.
