What's New

Ninja Hideout!

2009-07-04T08:22:13Z

Hello Penguins!

We've seen so many of you having fun hanging out with your ninja buddies in the Ninja Hideout - There have been a lot of Cloud Waves happening before penguins disappear, so I know that tons of you already have the new item from the Martial Artworks catalog! It might be fun to try out your new ability all over the island, and to show other penguins the way of the ninja...

In Other News: Some of you have asked about a visit from Sensei on the Spanish servers, and we wanted to let you know that he just couldn't make it there for this first visit. He'll be making more appearances in the future. In the meantime, we'd really love to hear what you think about the new Cloud Wave ability!

Until then...Waddle on!

Sensei Visits!

2009-07-03T08:35:04Z

Hello Penguins!

There's a lot of excitement for ninjas today because it's the very first time that Sensei has made an appearance outside of the Dojo! Our favorite ninja master will be making appearances in the Ninja Hideout until July 5, and we hope you get a chance to meet him.

With his visit, there's a Martial Artworks catalog update with a new item called the Cloud Wave Bracers. They'll give ninjas the extra ability to disappear into a cloud before turning invisible... Let us know if you'll be saving up your coins so you can add them to your inventories. (I will!)

The team was really excited about having the possibility to meet Sensei and I was thinking that if I got the chance, I might ask him if he likes puffles. What would you say or ask if you got the chance to hang out with Sensei? Let us know!

Until then...Waddle on!

My favorite part of training to be a Ninja is playing Card Jitsu! Its so fun to play with the other penguins. Just think; you could be playing Card Jitsu with people all around the World!! How cool is that, right?

Thanks, Tweety Girl3!

There's a new play coming soon and the team was talking about all the ways to get creative at the Stage... costumes, scripts, Switchbox 3000, directing, being part of the audience - and more! We were wondering what you think. What's your favorite thing to do at the Stage?

Leave your comments (try to keep them between 50 - 75 words) and we'll pick an answer to feature next week!

Screenhog talks Sensei

2009-07-01T08:37:33Z

Hi everyone! Screenhog here!

Sensei is going to show up in the Ninja Hideout, and it got me thinking that there are many of you who may not know how Sensei made his first appearance on Club Penguin. It was just after Halloween 2008, and storm clouds had darkened the island. The storm was fiercest on the mountaintops, and the snow-covered Dojo was struck by lightning!

Lots of you worked with hardhats and jackhammers to repair the hole and shovel off the mounds of snow. Some of you noticed a strange figure clothed in a brown, ragged cloak who helped to clear the snow away. A couple of weeks later Sensei revealed his identity; He had been living on Club Penguin, and had finally chosen to make himself known!

Were you there when Sensei showed up in Club Penguin?

In other news: Check out the fireworks today. Lots of you are celebrating different things this time of year so enjoy!

Until then...Waddle on!

Welcome Spanish!

¡Hola Penguins!

We're really excited to let you know that after a lot of people asking, and some hard work to make it happen, we've got another language joining our community! Over the past year we've given the Portuguese and French languages big Club Penguin greetings, and now we'd really love for you to help us welcome Spanish.

We're still in the beginning stages, so there still might be some bugs to fix, but we knew you'd want to be the very first to help say hello (hola)!

If you log in and choose the Spanish language at the top right of your screen, you can help let our brand new community know how excited we are that they're here.

Hello! -¡Hola!
Welcome! - ¡Bienvenidos!
Congratulations! - ¡Felicitaciones!
Waddle on! - ¡A pingüinear!
You're cool! -¡Eres genial!

Let us know what you think!

¡Sigan pingüineando! (until then...Waddle on!)

Hello Penguins!

The team loved hearing about your favorite music in Club Penguin last week! All the responses were awesome -- here's one that we liked a lot:

Puffyjc said:
My favorite music in Club Penguin has to be the music played at Music Jam 08.From pop to hip-hop, there was music for everyone. I had a great time playing with my all-time favorite band, The Penguin Band and taking center stage and pretending I was actually in a band! We also made our own music with DJ3K,a game launched for the party, which was also very cool.

Thanks, Puffyjc!

Some of you have been asking about Sensei's upcoming visit, so we wanted to ask: What's your favorite part of training to be a ninja?

Happy77 talks music

2009-06-24T08:26:00Z

Greetings Penguins!

With the groovy music updates coming to the DJ3K game and igloos this Friday, I thought it'd be kinda cool to talk to someone on the team who does a lot of the musical stuff around here...

Q: There's a lot of music in Club Penguin. How you do decide what music goes where?
A: We'd like the music to support the feeling of the areas and the party themes.

Q: What's your favorite part of making music and sound effects?
A: Working with music and sound effects (sfx) is creative and fun, and we hope it adds another dimension to everyone's experiences on the island.

Q: At last year's Music Jam party, I seem to remember music called "bubble pop" - is that short for bubble gum pop? Are there other kinds of candy music?
A: With that song we were originally inspired by the Bubblegum Pop style of music. But with music this sweet, it's all candy.

We'd love to know what you think about the sfx all over the island!

Until then...Waddle on!

There's been some talk of yellow puffles being quite enthusiastic about the update to the DJ3K game... We'll have to see what that's all about on Friday.

Hello Penguins!

There was a lot of excitement around the Adventure Party and some of you commented that you liked discovering the way the island was decorated. Last week's Reviewed by You question asked about your best adventure in Club Penguin and from the comments (which were awesome, by the way), we thought this one was cool:

Ninja Red said:
My favorite adventure on the island would most definitely have to be when I became a ninja. I proved to myself that I could do it, and I did. Getting all my belts, and defeating the Sensei was an incredible journey that i will never forget. I am proud of my position as a secret ninja, now what are you waiting for? Join me, Keep trying and reach for your goals!

Thanks, Ninja Red!

For this week's question, we'd really like to know: What's your favorite music in Club Penguin?

Snow Trekker & other new toys!

2009-06-14T06:37:26Z

Hello Penguins!

We're excited to tell you about some new toys that'll be coming soon. The Snow Trekker & Space Ship are different from the other Club Penguin toys that have come out, so we'd really love to hear what you think!
The Snow Trekker has some cool history in Club Penguin. In the very, very first Penguin Style catalog, it was on the back page listed as "out of stock" and ever since then a lot of you have commented about it. You may have seen it at a few parties - and even in the Elite Penguin Force DS game! Have any of you seen it anywhere else on the island? And what about this Space Ship... Does anyone know the play this is from?

These new 'pull and let go' toys will be available very soon. Also coming to North America (and then later to the UK and Australia) are Series 2 Pet Puffles. Just like your pet puffles in Club Penguin, they'll show off their unique personalities:

Let us know what you think!

Until then...Waddle on!
