The game strings hinting the party were first discovered in January 2016.[1] On February 3, 2016, a Club Penguin Times article told of an account of unexplained noises coming from underground.

Plot
During Operation: Crustacean, Herbert stole the UFO's power source and then went into hiding. He re-appeared a week after the aliens left with his new invention, the Laser of Doom. In a short time, however, penguins managed to disable it by starting a disco party in Forest. This did not deter the polar bear, as he soon came up with the Shrink Ray of Doom. He managed to shrink Rookie, but the second invention -- similar to the first -- did not last long. On week 3 of the operation, Herbert emerged with his latest invention, the Uncolorizer of Doom, hoping that "Penguins won't want to stay on a colorless island!"; unfortunately, he was mistaken again. After exploring a hole in the ground and waddling through an underground maze, the EPF recovered the meteor of the power source and Herbert was defeated.[3]
