Hello Penguins!

Hello Penguins! We've already rolled right into May and I wanted to let everyone know about a few very exciting things happening this month. I can't give it all away of course, but here are a few things you definitely don't want to miss out on!

-       New features (I talk about this stuff in more detail on the CPIP site--check it out to find out about what's currently being worked on! Go to www.clubpenguin.com/cpip and click the 'Eye Scan 3000'. You'll have to wait a few seconds to get through the 'doors'.

Hi everyone, it's Screenhog!
Last week we launched the Treasure Hunt game in the Captain's Quarters of Rockhopper's ship and from what we heard, a lot of you enjoyed it! Rockhopper is gone from Club Penguin now, and that means the game is gone too. But don't worry, you'll be able to play Treasure Hunt again when Rockhopper returns.
 
Treasure Hunt, as you all probably know, is Club Penguin's first ever cooperative game, where you and a friend can earn coins together. Here's some behind-the-scenes art from the game:
 
 
 
Those are most of the dirt tiles made for the game. Treasure Hunt is a tile-based game, which means that a lot of the art for it was broken up into square pieces that could be used as many times as the game needs them. Each tile was made separately by an artist and then another designer took the tiles and programmed each one to change on the board after each move. Cool stuff.
 
 
 
This is the rough art of the wood fence that surrounds the Treasure Hunt game. After this sketch, an artist put clean black lines on top of it, colored in the wood planks and then it was ready to hold all the dirt tiles!
 
Oh, and before I forget, thanks for all the wonderful comments about the clothing catalog! We're glad you're having fun with it! There are a lot of secrets in this catalog--have you found them all? There's one that's not an item, but it's still pretty cool!
 
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

It's hard to believe the month of April has already passed--there sure was a lot going on in Club Penguin. If you weren't around, don't worry, there's plenty to look forward to coming up in May!!!

To kick it off, a new wig catalog was added today, along with another clothing catalog update. As always, let us know what you like and even what you don't!

In other news: Thanks for all your feedback about 'Big Screen' mode since it launched earlier this week! We heard from a lot of you  that you would like the option to view the game in the original mode. If you want to view it in the original mode you can now, just click the arrow icon on the top right navigation bar before you login to the game. Big Screen mode will remain the default mode.

Until then...waddle on!

In other news: You may have noticed you can now play Club Penguin in 'Big Screen' mode! It was launched yesterday--something many of you have suggested for a long time! When you login to Club Penguin the view mode of Club Penguin will be bigger than it was before we launched this feature.

Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

It sure was a long weekend waiting for Rockhopper to hide his key somewhere on the island! Monday is here and if you haven't already started looking for it, you can start now! Rockhopper's key is tucked away somewhere on the island--when you find it you can use it to open the door to his Captain's Quarters!!! Get together with some friends and form search teams to look for it!

 

I haven't said anything about what's inside his quarters because I wanted it to really be a surprise--but here's a hint: it's something you and a friend can do together!

 

In other news: The Captain's Quarters isn't the only room that was released today...check out the Migrator for the second room!

 

As always, as soon as you get inside let us know what you think.

Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

 

He's finally back! The Captain has returned from his long voyage at sea and he's going to be around Club Penguin for the next 10 days! He made a big announcement in the Club Penguin Times yesterday--be sure to check it out. It has to do with a new room!!!

There sure is a lot going on right now, and not all of it has to do with Rockhopper. The sports catalog was updated today! Let us know what you think about it!

In other news: Thank you all for your excitement around the penguin party at the London Zoo on May 3rd. There has been such great feedback that the event is now FULL!  Unfortunately we can not fit anyone else into the event.  Sorry to those of you who can't attend, but we hope to do something like this again in the future.

Hello Penguins!

 

It's not very often a new room opens in Club Penguin, but I wanted to let you know that a new room will show up sometime next week! It's supposed to be a big surprise so I can't say a lot more than that right now. But if you're on Club Penguin over the weekend you'll definitely hear about it! 

 

In other news: A party to celebrate Rockhopper's return kicks off on Friday. It's only a weekend party so be sure to check it out and let us know what you think!

Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!

 

Today a brand new mission was released for Secret Agents! It's top secret stuff, and you have to be an agent to get the details! But even if you're not an agent, you would have noticed some strange events taking place in Club Penguin right now with the Clock Tower breaking down--that's part of what the new mission is about! Of course, you'll only get the whole story if you complete the mission!

 

Let us know what you think should happen next!

Until then...waddle on!

Since we launched the new servers we have been busy making sure things run properly. We apologize to any penguins that have had problems with missing items. We are working hard to get this fixed.
