How about the movies? Like a Hollywood Theme?

Zookeeper - endangered animals?

Cafe - coffee and food

Dungeons & Dragons - dice, creatures, spells, etc

Rave or General Concert Theme - Bright colors, music, bracelet sharing, band tees, etc

Greek Mythology - gods and creatures

Flower Festival - floral and plant themed pets

I don’t remember if I suggested this last time but I’d love to have an arctic/tundra research event. There are regional specific cryptids to make pets of, plus all of the actual animals to make. Could be huge item opportunities for arctic survival items too!
Liminal space suggestion is cool, like a weird back rooms video game we’re navigating! I love when we get pets with this theme, and the designs could get really funky and neat. Any references to surreal, abstract art would be awesome too. Maybe a focus on some real life animals that LOOK weird naturally too??
I also second a music festival, lots of opportunities for items and uniquely dressed pets ! Food trucks, camping area, stages, etc. could be fun and interactive

A haunted house! All of the ghosts are friendly, but they’ve got their own problems that we need to help solve. Maybe they lost something, or got into a fight with another ghost but they’re stuck together due to being unable to leave the house. There can be classic haunted house features like libraries with strange books, secret areas that are only discovered when a ghost shows you them as part of the storyline, halls lined with creepy paintings…

Pets would include ghosts, obviously, but there could also be moth, rat, or spider pets (representing animals that live in the abandoned house), pets resembling suits of armor, marble busts, gargoyles, or door knockers, and maybe even pets representing “ghost hunters” that also discovered the house! (Are they meddling kids or consummate professionals? Do they want to help the ghosts or do they just want them out of the house?)

As for items, I would items that would allow you to make your own haunted houses, like bookshelves, lanterns, Gothic architecture, and so on. Ghost-related items are fun too, such as orbs of light or floating objects. And of course, we need gear for the professional ghost hunter, such as EMF readers, salt circles, UV flashlights, fancy cameras, and motion detectors!

Here are my favorite ideas I've pulled from this thread + thought of over the years. I think they all lend themselves well to diverse and unique pets and items!

-Travel theme, like a road trip, international travel via plane or cruise ship (island hopping?)
-Summer school with academia vibes etc.
-Music festival
-Farm, country theme (city mouse country mouse!)
-Ancient Greece
-Theatre, perhaps focused around preparing for a play (Midsummer Night's Dream?)
-Broad superhero + urban aesthetics theme
-Murder mystery dinner party
-Traditional RPG themed
-Broad video game theme (taking place in an alternate world or something like that)
-Pirates!
-Zoo/animal rescue, perhaps with an extinct animals angle
-Folklore, general mythology
-Steampunk, Victorian aesthetics
-Broad art theme, famous paintings, perhaps a summer art "camp"

[Spica]

- Cryptids and Mythical Creatures
- Dungeons and Dragons
- Africa Safari
- Some sort of Jungle Adventure
- A Cruise

Summer in Greece/Greek Vacation; Gods/Goddesses, other deities, mythical beasts, grapes and olives, other Greek culture? Would be a fun little vacation themed idea with a bit of mystical whimsy to it!

[Cryptweasel]

Masquerade, silver screen movie night, band tour, gold rush

[the real colette]

Same idea as the guy one reply above me- a greek mythology event!
