Club Penguin is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game for children developed by New Horizon Interactive. Using cartoon penguin avatars, players can waddle around, converse, play minigames, and participate in other activities with one another in a snow-covered virtual world.^[1] Having completed beta-testing, Club Penguin was made available to the general public on October 24, 2005^[2] and has since expanded into a large online community.

Club Penguin shares similarities with other popular online environments like RuneScape and Habbo Hotel. Though open to users of all ages, Club Penguin is primarily designed for children ages eight to fourteen^[3] and has qualified for the Better Business Bureau – Kid’s Privacy Seal of Approval.^[4] Club Penguin was also awarded the “Editors Choice” award from Children’s Technology Review Magazine.^[5]

An online merchandise shop opened on the Club Penguin website in August 2006,^[6] selling stuffed Puffles and T-shirts. Keychains, gift cards, and more shirts were added on November 7, 2006.^[7]

Now there is also the option to participate in the weekly poll on the Club Penguin Home Page. The present question is “What would you like to see out of the binoculars in the Cove?”

Though the game can be played for free, many of the features are not available unless a subscription is purchased.^[8]

Membership

Non-membership

Club Penguin provides a non-membership option. Although such play is free, it does not include all of the benefits of being a member. Non-members may still buy colors and player-card backgrounds and can go anywhere (except during member parties) as well as play games. Non-members may also receive and use items given out at parties that are thrown monthly for all players. Non-members are restricted to only two puffles, in the colors red or blue, and may not buy clothes or furniture, or access occasional brand new game areas.

Paid membership

 

 

An average members account.

Players may become members (by paying $5.95 every month, $29.95 for six months, or $57.95 USD for a year) and doing so grants them many benefits. They may buy clothing and furniture, own more than two puffles, enjoy early access to new parts of the game, buy furniture for their puffles, and have access to all puffle breeds. Members also have access to Members-only Parties hosted by Club Penguin.^[9] Members may also open their igloo to visits by other players. Payment methods include PayByCash, Pay Pal, SMS, credit card, money order and check. (SMS is only available in the UK.)

Game-play

Environment

Club Penguin is divided into several rooms.

 

 

The town center during the 2006 Christmas Party

Each player is provided with an igloo for a home. Members have the option of opening their igloo so other penguins can access it via the map. Members may also decorate their igloos with items bought with money earned by playing mini-games.

Many game locations can be accessed by clicking on the Club Penguin map. Some places, such as the Attic, are reached by clicking its general area on the map then walking the penguin to the specific location. Other places, such as Rockhopper’s Ship, The Migrator, are only available on certain days.

Club Penguin recently opened two new areas. The Forest opened on Friday, May 18, though initially only to those who found and followed a lost map. After construction of an access staircase was completed, the Cove opened on May 25 in conjunction with a member party; it opened to all players on May 29 when the party ended.

Chat

Club Penguin provides two options for inter-player communication. The Ultimate Safe Chat mode allows players to select predefined phrases from a list, similar to old text-adventure games. The other mode, Open Chat, allows players to enter custom messages, although these are subject to censorship.^[10] Each game instance (server) offers one particular type of chat — the majority allowing either, but some allow only Ultimate Safe Chat mode.

Getting Banned

Players who use profanity are often punished by an automatic 24-hour ban, although not all vulgar language results in an immediate ban. After being caught using profane language on a second or third occasion, players may be banned for 72 hours. Players caught hacking Club Penguin are banned for a much longer time period. After 3 to 5 bans, a player is banned indefinitely from the game. ^[11] If someone tries to log in to Club Penguin as a famous player account (such as Rockhopper or Billybob), any password will result in a message that the account is banned with a “Forever” expiration.

Moderators

All Club Penguin areas are monitored by large teams of Moderators who ensure players are not using profanity or acting abusively towards other players. Players’ suggestions for new ideas or improvement of the game are reviewed by Moderators, who also help prevent hackers from interfering with the game or cheating.^[12] Moderators must be at least 18 years old, pass a criminal record check, and live in or near Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.^[13]

Events

Penguins celebrate in the Night Club for April Fool’s Day

Every month, there is a party on Club Penguin. The party may be for a holiday such as April Fool’s Day, Halloween or Christmas, or it may be random, as when no major holiday is celebrated or chosen in a particular month. A free, new article of clothing is made available with each non-member party. The first party on Club Penguin was the Beta Test Party at which beta testers received a party hat.^[14]

Items

Players may use the coins they collect from playing minigames to purchase various items from shops.

There are 13 penguin colors, from which players can choose and use as often as they want. They are: Lime Green, Light Green, Dark Green, Orange, Peach, Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Brown, Black, Pink, Yellow and Purple. New colors are generally introduced at members-only parties.

Many backgrounds are available, with two to four new ones every month. Backgrounds can be viewed when anyone clicks on a player’s penguin, and can be bought by non-members.

Pins display in the top left-hand corner of a player’s lookup card. A special Christmas Tree Pin was made available for 50 coins in a late 2006 issue of the Penguin Times newspaper.

Flags are similar to pins though are only available to members; they also appear in the top left-hand corner of a player’s lookup card.

Clothes are for members only, except for the items given out for free at parties and on the pirate ship.

Furniture is for members only and can be used to design and decorate a player’s igloo.

Flooring (introduced January 19, 2007) is another feature for members only. There are currently eight different floors to choose from.

Members’ igloos can be upgraded into many different styles. Some igloo styles are themed for recent parties, such as the Bamboo Hut or Log Cabin. Igloo upgrades range from 1000 to 5100 coins depending on the style. In May 2007, a disco tile was added to the igloo upgrades.

Free items

Players can receive free items in addition to clothing during events.

• New pins appear every two weeks and are visible in the top left-hand corner of a player card for those who find and use them.
• Participate in treasure (scavenger) hunts, such as searching for Lighthouse lights or recovering the band’s lost instruments; these activities resulted in free player card backgrounds, with the exception of the egg hunt, where the reward was a blue bunny hat.
• The Penguin Times newspaper sometimes offers polls or fund-raisers for items.
• During the “Save the Lighthouse” event, players had the option to donate 750 coins to receive a free T-Shirt.
• Another example is the Christmas Tree: after selecting a decoration, a player would receive the Tree pin.
• Rockhopper provides a free item of clothing each time he arrives, such as a bandana, pirate shoes, or a pirate belt.
• Players who pass the Secret Agent test receive a free Spy Phone and are able to participate in secret missions, which provide more free items like medals and letters.
• Successful Tour Guide applicants get a free hat to identify them. *In the April Fools Party of 2007, the free items were a blue propeller hat and novelty glasses.
• During the Spring 2007 Easter Egg Hunt, players who collected all hidden eggs were rewarded with blue bunny ears.
• The Easter party of 2006 was the same except a pink bunny hat was the reward. Free items from parties often enable a special dance move. For example, dancing while wearing (only) a propeller cap will cause a player to hover; doing the same while wearing an ice cream apron results in the player’s scooping ice cream.

Secret Agents

Secret Agent status is available to all players, whether members or not, who have played for at least 30 days and have not been banned. These agents are encouraged to inform players of upcoming events and guide new members around the game. They are also asked to help keep Club Penguin safe and report anyone who is being disruptive or using offensive language; however, agents are not official moderators.^[15]

G (Gary the Gadget Guy)

‘G’ is a fictional inventor of the Penguin Secret Agency, the fictitious secret service in the game. He plays a leading role in all three ’secret missions’, similar to that of Q in the James Bond films.

Headquarters

The Agent Headquarters (HQ) is a Club Penguin location accessible only to Secret Agents, who can teleport there by clicking the Spy Phone in their player card inventory and then clicking “Visit HQ”, or by entering the right-most dressing room in the Sport Shop. The Headquarters has 24 TV screens that show images of most of the accessible places on Club Penguin, each of which is only a click away. To the right of the TVs is a board containing a message, changed every two to four weeks, with hints and tips about activities on Club Penguin. In the bottom right corner are a book and a folder. The folder includes missions for Secret Agents; the agent handbook is titled “The F.I.S.H.” (Factual Informative Spy Handbook).

Missions

 

 

A range of secret agent clothes.

 

 

The “missions portfolio” available in the HQ. Note that a fourth mission will be added later.

Secret agents are able to perform randomly occurring “Top Secret Missions.” Successful completion of such missions yields items for the player card inventory. Three current missions, which require secret agents to use their imagination and logic, include:

• ‘Case of the Missing Puffles’, in which Aunt Arctic, local news reporter for The Penguin Times, has lost her green and purple puffles and the player must get them back.

• ‘G’s Secret Mission’, in which agent G gives the player a new sled which must be tested; when it fails, players must test their survival skills and wait for another agent who brings them home.

• ‘Case of the Missing Coins’, in which the coins disappear from the Gift Shop vault, and players must find and retrieve them.

On successfully completing a mission, secret agents will have earned a Puffle Medal, a Burning Log Medal, or a Magnet medal, depending on the mission. Agents who deliver puffle pictures to Aunt Arctic (Case of the Missing Puffles) receive a letter from her. Those who make a fishing rod (G’s Secret Mission) receive a letter from G. Agents who restore the lights in the disco (Case of the Missing Coins) receive a letter from the dancing penguin.

A new mission will be coming this summer.^[16]

Tour Guides

 

 

This is the hub for all tours, penguins can either start or go on a tour.

 

 

Inside the lighthouse, a penguin is giving a tour about it’s history.

This project began January 26, 2007 with the intent of helping newcomers find their way around Club Penguin.^[17] To become a tour guide, a penguin must be at least 45 days old and have had no more than one ban (or sufficiently good behavior after more bans).^[18] Being a member is not required. To apply, one goes to the Tour Booth in the Ski Village and takes a quiz. The eight-question quiz tests one’s knowledge such as where things are located, puffle facts, game play, and so forth. Answering seven out of the eight questions correctly wins a tour guide hat. Only those who have passed the test and have the hat are official tour guides.

The Penguin Times

A more recent screenshot of The Penguin Times

Club Penguin has a weekly newspaper delivered every Thursday. It contains a number of things happening around Club Penguin and features games, comics, and more. The Boiler Room under the Night Club in the Town contains an archive of newspapers from the last six weeks.^[19]

Calendar dates

Each newspaper edition includes a list of dates that summarize when the next pin will be hidden, upcoming parties and other Club Penguin events.

Aunt Arctic

Aunt Arctic is a fictional character featured in the newspaper as a reporter with a role similar to that of real-life agony aunts, giving advice (in this case, regarding game queries and etiquette). The Club Penguin team responds to players’ questions using Aunt Arctic as a pen name, and such questions can be submitted using an in-game form.

Puffles

 

 

The Pet Shop is a popular place for buying items for you and your puffle.

 

 

One of the various games on club penguin featuring the puffle.

Puffles are small, fluffy creatures that players may have as pets. They are available from the Pet Shop in blue, green, pink, black, purple, and red. Non-members have access to the blue and red puffles and may have no more than two; members may adopt up to twelve puffles. Puffles have health, rest, and energy bars to dictate their status.

There are 6 different types of puffles, each with a different personality.

• Blue Puffles are mild tempered and content. Their favorite toy is a ball. Blue Puffles are special because anyone in Club Penguin can adopt them.
• Pink Puffles are very active and cheery. They love to excercise by jumping rope or playing on their trampolines.
• Black Puffles are known to be a little mischievious and off tempered. However, they love to play and make a great pet for anyone who likes a little bit more personality.
• Green Puffles are very energetic and playful. They like to clown around on their unicycles or play with their propeller caps.
• Purple Puffles are lots of fun to have around. They enjoy blowing bubbles and are terrific dancers, but they can be a bit fussy, especially at mealtime.
• Red Puffles are adventurous and enthusiastic. They are fearless when attempting daring tricks and spend a lot of their playful energy on a surf board. Rockhopper brought these puffles to Club Penguin on his ship from Rockhopper Island.

Minigames

 

 

The aim of this game is to collect the coins and get to the platform before time runs out.

 

 

This was one of Club Penguins first games, where you had to catch as many fish you could.

 

 

Since the pizza parlour was slow on pizzas they added the pizzatron 3000.

 

 

The coffee shop needs to get beans to the cafe! This game makes it fun.

Various minigames are available for play within Club Penguin. Single-player games, which generally earn the player more coins, include Astro Barrier, Ballistic Biscuit, Bean Counters, Cart Surfer, Ice Fishing, Jet Pack Adventure, Puffle Round-Up, Thin Ice, Pizzatron 3000, and (added June 4th, 2007) Catchin’ Waves. Multi-player games in Club Penguin include Find Four, Mancala, and Sled Racing, which reward players with up to roughly 20 coins per game. These coins can be used later to buy (or care for) puffles, clothes, penguin colors, igloo items, etc. Games are located throughout the Club Penguin world.

Though most games earn the player coins (1/10th of the final score in most),some games do not. These include:

• Ice Hockey (located in the ice rink)
• Snowball Fights

Ice Hockey and Snowball Fights can be played in teams.

The Book Room Library

 

 

The bookroom, where players can read books and play mancala.

 

 

Five books books have been added to the bookroom.

Rockhopper’s message in a bottle was recovered and turned into a book titled Rockhopper and the Stowaway, which was officially introduced as the first book in the Book Room library collection. Three more books were added later, titled Frankie’s First Show, The Spice of Life and Truth or Dare. On April 27, 2007, the Book Room Writing Contest’s winning stories were added to the Book Room as one big book titled Penguin Stories.

Famous Penguins

The Band

 

 

The band is playing in the Night Club in this picture

The Band is a small group of four Penguins who often come to big parties in Club Penguin. They play the accordion, drum, bongo, and bass. There was once a scavenger hunt where players had to find the band’s instruments, with a new background as the reward.^{[citation needed]}

Rockhopper

Rockhopper is a fictional pirate character who arrives at Club Penguin aboard a pirate ship named The Migrator. Introduced on October 14, 2006, he arrives in the game approximately every two months. During a Rockhopper visit, all players (including non-members) may explore his ship, which offers exclusive ‘rare’ items for purchase, and a fictional diary of the character’s adventures. When among game players, Rockhopper appears as most others except that he wears pirate clothes unavailable to others.

A “message in a bottle” had been seen floating about, visible through the telescope located in the Lighthouse Beacon. On March 1, 2007, the bottle ended up on the right section of water on the Beach.^[20] It appeared to be some pages torn out of Rockhopper’s journal, and ripped around the edges due to a rough journey. The words and pictures were later published in a book which tells about a stowaway on Rockhopper’s ship called Bambadee and how he overcame his fears and made friends. Rockhopper apparently returned him to the island but amazingly, was not noticed by other penguins. The story also tells of Bambadee’s friendship bracelets, which can be received by clicking on a picture of one after reading the story.

Rockhopper’s ship, the “Migrator”, was again visible through the Lighthouse Beacon’s telescope on June 19, 2007, indicating another visit will soon occur.

Glitches

 

 

A glitch which consists of a “second phantom penguin” clashed with the real one.

Some times, script errors known as glitches occur at Club Penguin. These errors, in general, last a short time on the game’s environment, since they are usually fixed by employees once detected.

Sometimes, such as on April Fools Day, glitches are made on purpose to entertain players.

Penguin Chat

Penguin Chat 3 was an old version of Club Penguin that opened to the public on March 31, 2005;^[21] it went offline on October 28, 2005 ^[22] and included some items that are not in the current version. Two examples are ninjas^[23][24] and snowcats. A ninja can be seen when clicking on the “n” of the night club in the main image on the Club Penguin official site.

History of Club Penguin:

The History Of Club Penguin

 

-Under contruction-

IF YOU THINK I MADE THIS ALL UP GO AHEAD, I DONT CARE, I DIDN’T, JUST DONT WASTE MY TIME.

Before Club Penguin, there was something called Penguin Chat (2005). You used to be able to play it on rocketsnail.com (Yes, that’s what rsnail stands for), but its gone now (there’s a game on there right now that’s eerily similar to Ballistic Biscuit excpet a human is riding the tube, and you can play Mancala there too, hmmmmm, I wonder why Update: The site has been closed. Oh, man. -Watex). Penguin Chat 3 was very fun, to tell you the truth.

It was actually very similar to Club Penguin, except there was only one place you could go to, the Town. There wasn’t a Cove, Snow Forts, Dojo, or your own home or anything else, but the Town. And no coins or way of earning coins. And if you tried to walk to the left of the town, you’d go to an area of snow, if you went to the left of that, you’d go to another area of snow, with a bunch of penguins in snowcats (look it up in dictionary) driving around. Then if you went left again, there would be a bunch of penguins just walking around with hard hats on, and then if you went left again, you’d be back at the Town (so it was kinda a circle). And you could also do the same thing if you started off going right.

In the toolbar, there was only the chatbox (If you chose Standard Safe Chat), the snowball button, the actions button, the emotes button, and the enter button. To change color, you would click the Gold M on the upper right, and select a different color.

The Dance Club was incredibly similar. The major differences were that the band played on the stage, rather than the DJ thing with the speakers. And there was no green puffle dancing on the speakers, and there were no stairs leading to the upper floor (there wasn’t an upper floor). And you could get to the Boiler room by walking onto the wire of the lower left Speaker. The point of the game was just to throw snowballs, dance, and chat.

The Coffee shop was somewhat boring, there was no upper level, and you couldn’t play Bean Counter there. Back then, everyone used to pretend they were Coffee shop servers.

Now, have you ever heard someone ask how you become a ninja? Well, this is where the myth started from (By the way, you CAN’T become a ninja in Club Penguin, they were going to make them, but they made Secret Agents instead). In Penguin Chat 3, when the color select window popped up after you click the Gold M, if you click the ‘N’ in ‘Club Penguin’ in that window, you would become a ninja (no lie). Being a ninja was pretty cool, you had a ninja suit and if you danced, you would become transparent black.

You could also be a Hard Hat worker. This was hard to recall but I think you had to change into an orange penguin in the snowfields right of the Town to get the Hard hat (you didn’t have a player card back then so you didn’t really get a Hard hat, you just wore one). And if you danced, you would be drilling the ground. And if you went into the middle snow fields, you’d be driving a snowcat, WOOT!

As for the gift shop, if you tried walking into it, you’d be transported to a page in Rocket snail where you can buy merchandise like real life keychains and T-shirts.

And that’s just about all there was to Penguin Chat 3 (that used to be playable at rocketsnail.com).

Also, there was a Club Penguin BETA testing. That was basically to try out the new Club Penguin beforehand. Beta testers got one month of free Club Penguin membership, they got to keep their party hat, from the very first Club Penguin party ever, and a certain amount of coins.

Just a few more things before I let you go, no ninja myths are true. There’s one myth out there that says if you don’t move in the dojo for 30 minutes but stay logged on by talking and chatting, you’ll be a ninja. Don’t listen to those lies! Its just to waste ur time! I knew it was a lie from the moment I heard it, and now I’ve tested it out just to prove it to you and nothing happened! (You can check it out yourself if you want to waste a half hour…)

And, last, you can check the Club Penguin Official Blog Archives for all old blog posts from Club Penguin ever since April 2005 here: http://blog.clubpenguin.com/archives/2005_08_01_archive.html

The archives are at the bottom of the page.

Finally, don’t be fooled by this: penguinchat.com This is not the Penguin Chat I was speaking of. This came out less than a year ago, I believe. Its a FAKE. The real Penguin Chat was only accessable on http://rocketsnail.com
