Hi everyone, Screenhog here!

By now many of you have probably tried out the new Puffle Rescue game in the Mine. If you haven't, I definitely suggest heading down and trying it out. It's a lot of fun and very different from other Club Penguin games.

For everyone who's trying to get the hang of the game, I thought I'd post some suggestions and tips that have worked for me so far.

1. Look before you leap... or swim.

It helps to look ahead and plan your jumps. Remember that while you only have a little time to act, looking ahead and waiting for the best chance works well.

2. Sometimes 'close' is close enough. 

If you mistime your jump, or if you need to make a fast leap, you can still land safely even if your aim isn't perfect. You'll grab onto moving platforms automatically if you're close enough...

3. Watch for new challenges.

At first, each level you reach will introduce a new challenge. Be cautious - there are tons of break-away platforms and ice chunks, along with sharks, bumpers, cannons and more. Pay close attention until you master all of them...

4. Last but not least, a few hidden tricks...

Have you tried standing on the mine carts until they leave the screen yet? Try it out! And if it gets too dark for you in the mine levels, remember that standing on the black and white check points will give you more light.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the new game.

Waddle on!

Puffle Rescue launches March 15th and the island's getting ready to rescue! I wanted to give you another sneak peek into what the new game has in store for you. Here's a screenshot from some of the levels...

What do you think?

In other news, the Penguin Play Awards begin this Thursday! Lots of you have been getting ready for the big event at the Stage. Be sure to vote at the booth for your favorite play - and have your say on which one returns to the Plaza in April.

Until then... Waddle on!

Looks like there are lots of you with your jackhammers helping down in the Mine. Some of you are saying that's where you think Rockhopper's missing puffle Yarr is. There's also some talk that other puffles aren't where they normally are. Where do you think they went?

There's going to be more underground exploration happening near the end of the week. All of this stuff just might be connected to that new game we told you about... Make sure you keep your eyes on what's happening down there!! 

Until then...Waddle on!

A few weeks ago, when the team showed the new orange puffle toy, lots of you wrote how stoked you were. (FYI - I think the orange puffle's HILARIOUS and I'm pretty sure he has a sweet tooth like me.)

Well, the buzz on the island this week is about Rockhopper and there's been some talk around here about a new Rockhopper stuffed toy! I wanted to know more so I asked someone on the team who helps with toys.

Q: The orange puffle seems pretty loved. But what else is new?
A: The newest toys are some 9" stuffed toy penguins - there are a few different ones - including Rockhopper!

Q: Where can we get them?
A: They'll be in Disneyland Resort in California and at Walt Disney World, Florida really soon - and the team's working hard to get them in more places, too - like in Disney Stores and at the CP Online Shop. Keep checking those places. Also, each one comes with a code to unlock items online. And we've updated the Treasure Book!

Q: What should we do if we have toy ideas?
A: Give us all your feedback. Tell us what you like, what you don't like, and what you'd like to see in the future!

Hey - good luck catching up with Rockhopper while he's on the island. I hear he needs your help to find Yarr...

Until then... Waddle on!

The Migrator's landed at the Beach and that means Rockhopper's here! Once you've found the key to his Captain's Quarters (check above the Coffee Shop - it's hidden somewhere in the Book Room), you and your friends can head there and play the Treasure Hunt game. Also, don't forget to check out the rare items he brought with him - Arrrr... you might be lookin' like a pirate real soon.

In other news: Some of you have mentioned some construction that's happening at the Mine. Let us know what you find...

Until then...Waddle on!

March has arrived, and that means lots of exciting new events are coming up fast!

Starting this week we begin the countdown to the Penguin Play Awards. For those who didn't make it last year, it's a huge event where everyone votes for their favorite Stage plays from 2009. Check out this sneak peek of the Plaza...

It'll kick off March 19 - How do you think you and your friends will get ready for the red carpet?

In other news, Rockhopper's been spotted in the telescope at the Beacon, so that means he'll be on the island soon. And later this month you can keep your eye out for a big surprise - a brand new game! I can't say much about it, just that you'll need to be quick... and ready to come to the rescue...

Until then... Waddle on!

You've been asking and we promised you some more info about the new mission! In a couple months, you'll be using your Penguin Secret Agency skills again to try and stop a very determined Herbert...

What do you think he's planning this time? Look for more mission news in a few weeks.

In the meantime, you can practice your agent skills by doing the previous missions - and continue to keep the island safe. If you're not an agent yet, if your penguin is 30 days old, you can click the M at the top right of your screen. Then click the button that says: "Become a Secret Agent". You'll get to take a quiz to apply.

Until then...Waddle on!
