Operation: Hot Sauce

Operation: Hot Sauce is the first in a series of in-game missions involving the Elite Penguin Force and their criminal adversaries. It began on April 5, 2013 and will continue on until April 16, 2013. Information was released regarding the mission in the form of a sketch, but no release date was given until Issue #388 of the Club Penguin Times where the Cove was shown with stains of pizza sauce. The name was discovered on April 3rd, 2013.

The Pizza Parlor will be attacked, and Herbert P. Bear will steal the giant hot sauce bottle and use it for his own evil purposes. The Cove is where the pizza will be stored until the mess in the Pizza Parlor is cleaned up. Herbert P. Bear will be responsible for the crime, as confirmed by Polo Field. Herbert P. Bear might be available for penguins to meet in this operation. A piece of white hair was found at the Pizza Parlor, and a piece of string was found at the Cove.
