Operation: Puffle

Operation: Puffle is an upcoming mission in the series of In-Game Missions and party in Club Penguin to occur from November 21, 2013 to December 3, 2013. It will involve a big mystery on Club Penguin. It will expand Club Penguin, and is something that the audience has been asking for a long time. It will also involve being lost in the wilderness.

History
This party was rumored on March 2013, due to a comic in the Club Penguin Magazine. Although this comic wasn't related to the mission, it was hinted at by Spike Hike and Polo Field later in the year. In Club Penguin's zombie video, the Operation: Puffle logo flashed across the screen for a fraction of a second, confirming that the party would come.

Storyline
Herbert tracks are found in the wild by Jet Pack Guy on November 1. On November 7, it's reported that there is trouble in the wilderness and we must see to it. Herbert steals some boiler parts that same day.

Meanwhile, a cave in has occurred in the underground, blocking access to the Cave Mine. Workers who try to excavate the rubble notice sparkles in the dirt, and notice there may be another cave next to the Mine, the Golden Puffle Cavern. On November 14, when some of the rocks are cleared, penguins will quest for the Golden Puffle and have the chance to adopt one. Some more pages of Garianna's potion book was also found in the caves, linking to the Golden O'Berries PH and Gary had discovered.

Similarities to Operation: Blackout

 * Both EPF Operations were rumored months before its official release, and in the case of Operation: Blackout, years.
 * They were both hinted at in a Halloween Party video. First Herbert appeared in Ghosts Just Wanna Dance with a paper with the sun crossed out, and nearly a year later Herbert made another appearance in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer holding the puffle handbook.
 * ClubHerbert.com has been used as a source of sneak peeks for both.

Trivia

 * Herbert was seen in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer, so this could be a hint that he will be the main reason for this new mission. In Halloween Party 2013 trailer, Herbert is reading a book with a Puffle on it, possibly the Puffle Handbook.
 * On October 8, 2013, Polo Field hinted in the Wikia Chat that the mission may involve puffles.
 * Spike Hike on Twitter has confirmed that the name of the EPF Mission is Operation: Puffle.
 * The mysterious secret ingredient, the Golden Puffle O, from the Medieval Party 2013, might make an appearance, and the Golden Puffle. It was mentioned in a What's New Blog post. PH and Gary are currently studying it, who coincidentally, are both part of the Elite Penguin Force
 * It seems to be based on the plan mentioned by Herbert at the end of Operation: Spy & Seek, which happened 5 years ago. It is also possible that it connects to PSA Mission 10: Waddle Squad, with Herbert trying to steal the fake Golden Puffle. Herbert could be trying to combine both of those plans for this mission.
 * It´s possible that the notebook he was using there it´s the same one that´s he seen using in the Halloween Party 2013 trailer.
 * A new puffle species will arrive at the party, as confirmed by the Whats New Blog. However, the membership page says that the Quest For The Golden Puffle begins a week before the party.
 * This will be the second time that Club Penguin will introduce more than one Puffle in a year; the first time this happened was the original puffle discovery.
 * The Newspaper featured a section of an interview between Jet Pack Guy and Rookie (both EPF agents) and the final question was asking about the secret fifth class of the EPF. This could be Puffle, as the Elite Puffles are in the EPF.
 * Elite Puffles may be involved in the mission, or Golden Puffles could be agents.
 * The Orange Puffle, Brown Puffle, Rainbow Puffle and Golden Puffle may get Elite Puffles of their own.
