About the Creators
The company behind Petpet Park was Nickelodeon Kids & Family Virtual Worlds Group. This group used to be called Neopets, Inc.. They create and manage online games and virtual worlds for kids and families.
Petpet Park was based on their very popular game, Neopets. In Neopets, players adopt and care for virtual companions. These companions join them in many games and adventures.
What You Could Do in Petpet Park
Petpet Park was all about Petpets. These are small, cute creatures from the world of Neopia. They are companions to the main Neopets characters.
When you adopted a Petpet, you could dress it up. You could also feed it yummy virtual food, like pizza. Playing games in the park earned you Park Points. These points were the game's money. You could use them to buy new clothes and food for your Petpet. The game also let you chat and play with other players.
If players broke the rules, their accounts could be temporarily stopped or permanently "frozen."
Petpet Species
There were 9 different kinds of Petpets you could choose from in Petpet Park. Each one had its own special traits. These traits did not change how you played the game.
- Dipni - Dipnis were shy and easily scared Petpets. But they were also very loving. They made happy gurgling sounds when they were content.
- Oukin - Oukins were usually calm Petpets. However, their loud warning shriek could call other Oukins for help. This made them quite strong together.
- Pinixy - Pinixy were very active and playful Petpets. They loved to run, jump, wrestle, and climb all the time.
- Hifflo - Hifflos were sweet and loving Petpets. They moved gracefully and loved music. They could run very fast for short times. It was said that a good song could attract any Hifflo.
- Drym - Dryms were curious and a bit mischievous. They were more funny than troublesome. They loved to dig for shiny things. They especially enjoyed digging through snow.
- Kassegat - Kassegats were smart and clever Petpets. They lived in thick jungle areas. These quick Petpets loved exploring and eating jungle fruit.
- Bandalu - Bandalus were wise and friendly creatures. You could only get them by using special Neocash morphing potions.
