Puffle Tasks was an interface introduced at the Puffle Party 2013 that players could access while in the Puffle Hotel, accessed from an icon in the bottom right corner of the hotel's rooms, or the notice board in the center of the hotel lobby. The tasks were part of the Rainbow Quest (sometimes also called the Puffle Care Quest), and every time they were completed, allowed members to use the Rainbow Cannon on the hotel roof to access the Cloud Forest and adopt a rainbow puffle. After the tasks were completed, they were reset, and could be completed again any time, at will.
There were four different tasks, each involving walking puffles to various areas of the hotel that could increase their stats when interacted with. When a task was completed, players could receive 150 coins, and members could receive an item. After completing all tasks for the first time, players could receive the Gourmet O'Berries, or on subsequent completions, 500 coins, and members gained access to the Rainbow Cannon on the hotel roof.
After completing one task, there was a wait period before the next task could be completed, or in the case of the fourth task being completed, before the tasks could be started from the beginning again. The wait time was originally 18 hours between tasks (54 hours to complete all tasks). On March 29, 2013, the wait time was shortened to 6 hours (18 hours to complete all tasks) for non-members, and 20 minutes (1 hour to complete all tasks) for members. Sometime in mid-July to early-August 2013, the wait was shortened to 20 minutes for non-members as well.
Although the interface displayed an image of a specific location within the hotel corresponding for the player's currently available task, and pressing the "Go there!" button under the image transported the player to the room depicted, the player could use any area in the hotel that affected the stat required. For instance, although the first task (play) display the exercise & weight mats and treadmills in the spa, the player could instead use the diving board or DJ booth on the roof, which also increased the play stat.
Locations that increase stats outside of the hotel, such as several parts of the Puffle Park, could not be used as alternatives.
