Stars and Celebrities

Hello penguins! This post will teach you about a party with quite a few special guests that attended. Enjoy!

With the exception of the Music Jams having the Cadence and the Penguin Band, most parties only have one famous Club Penguin character visiting. In 2013, the Hollywood Party began, and oddly, four different characters were waddling around at this party. This party saw Gary, Aunt Arctic, Cadence, and Sensei available at meetups and similar events.

So what do you think of this move? Did you meet any of the mascots that the Hollywood Party? Goodbye!

Casa Fiesta! The Musical

Hello penguins! Today I will be telling you about an old song that appears as if nobody remembers its existence.

In 2008, Club Penguin decided to make a new theme song for the returning Winter Fiesta party. This led to the creation of 229. 229 is most well known today as the Ski Village music from the 10th Anniversary Party, but that track was actually not played in that during the Music Jam 2011. The real song that played is titled 292, and is actually a bit creepy in parts. Listen to it by clicking the song ID or by clicking the following link:

This is the link.

Do you like the song 292? Between that and 229, which one do you prefer? Goodbye!

Cancelling Construction

Hello penguins! Today I will be telling you all about a weird construction project that occurred earlier in Club Penguin's history. So let's begin!

In March of 2009, the fourth annual St. Patrick's Day Party was coming up, and as Club Penguin does every once in a while, a few locations were updated with objects used while setting up the party, such as construction equipment and paint cans. These objects were present in three rooms: the Ski Village, the Forest, and most oddly the Cove.

The Cove having construction is especially weird because the Cove was not decorated for the St. Patrick's Day Party of that year. Once the party started, it was reverted back to its regular state. Nobody is sure as to why this why this happened, and has since remained a mystery.

I hope you enjoy this fact! Why do you think there was construction at the Cove? Goodbye!

Rockhopper's Adventure Party Background

Hello penguins! I will now display a fun fact about some of Rockhopper's older backgrounds released specifically for the Adventure Parties.

In 2009, the team decided to try something new with meeting mascots: party-specific backgrounds. At the Adventure Party, meeting Rockhopper would result in collecting a new item. This item was the Rockhopper Background (9029). It features the Captain, Yarr, and the Migrator covered in plants.

In 2012, this was done once more at the fourth Adventure Party, the Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit. This time, the image featured Captain Rockhopper wearing tropical facepaint, his puffle Yarr, the forest, and a volcano exploding with raspberries.

Which one do you prefer? Do you think the Adventure Party should return? Do you have any of these backgrounds? Goodbye!

The Water Park

Hello penguins! I will now be showcasing a popular room from a past Summer Party in Club Penguin.

The fourth and final takeover of 2013 was sure interesting; it was a combination of the Music Jam 2011, the Summer Kickoff Party 2007, and the Water Party 2008, and including new elements from the Disney Channel Special "Teen Beach Movie". The Water Party division of the party featured obviously the party room Epic Wave, and also included the Waterpark.

The Stadium was transformed into a pool with water slides for this party. This room was quite popular, and is a favorite of many. Standing on any of the three gray arrows will take your penguin down the water slide and into the pool below. 

Do you like this room? Would you like it to return? Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what item was available in this room. Goodbye!

The Surprise Party

Hello penguins! Today I will share an interesting fact about an old party decided by the community.

In 2007, Club Penguin decided to let the community choose a party. The options were the Western Party, the Sports Party, and the Pirate Party. The poll was held from November 8th to the 14th, and the results were not revealed until the party had begun on November 23rd. And when the 23rd arrived, the party began, and it turned out to be the Western Party.

Did you attend the Surprise Party? Would you be willing to participate in another party poll? Goodbye!

The Serving Table

Hello penguins! Today I will be showcasing a cool feature that not too many penguins are aware of.

In 2011, Club Penguin decided it would be fun to introduce a new feature into the game. At the Puffle Party in February of that year, the tables at the Dance Lounge would react when food was served there. If a penguin served a table while wearing a food vendors' outfit such as the Coffee Apron or the Ice Cream Apron, the table would display that type of food. This returned at the Halloween Party and Card-Jitsu Party later that year. These features returned, of course, at the Pizza Parlor during the 10th Anniversary,

and during the Halloween Party 2015.



Do you enjoy this feature? What party would you like to see it at next? Goodbye!

The Rarest Background

Hello penguins! I will now be providing information about an often overlooked rare item in Club Penguin.

Backgrounds were released in May 2006. Since then, every background has been obtained by hundreds and possibly thousands of people. There is one exception, though. One background has been collected by less than 500 users. That item is the Penguin of the Week Background.

The Penguin of the Week Background was released in March of 2014 and can only be obtained by being or having been Penguin of the Week. While this item is rare, it is possible for anyone to obtain it; a new penguin has this item added to their inventory nearly every week.

I hope you found this secret interesting. Do you have the Penguin of the Week Background? Goodbye!

The Final Easter

Hello penguins! Today I will be talking about the last time Club Penguin released anything for Easter.

Club Penguin held a tradition of having an Easter Egg Hunt every year beginning in 2006 and ending the tradition in 2012. Many players especially liked events such as these, so at the Puffle Party 2014, Club Penguin released a final item for Easter.

The Lavender Bunny Ears were released in April 2014 and were available at the Beach for free for the duration of the annual Puffle Party. This item is similar to previous Bunny Ears, most notably the Pink Bunny Ears, having similar colors. The items were released once again at the 10th Anniversary Party in the Daily Item Calendar, and have not encored since.

If you like this fact, come back later for more. Another secret about Easter may be posted soon. Goodbye!

The End of Summer Extravaganza

Hello penguins! Starting on Monday, August 29th, and ending on Wednesday, August 31st, three secrets will be posted daily at 11 AM, 3 PM, and 6 PM Penguin Standard Time. This post will be deleted once the event is finished.

Finding Dory Party Critique

Hello penguins! Welcome back to Club Penguin Secrets for another party critique. This week, I'll be critiquing the recent Finding Dory Party, which many have debated over in the community. But first, let us review with this video showcasing the party.


And without further ado, let us now initiate the critique.


As always, I will begin by discussing the rooms. This party had very few rooms, yet fun decorations and some clever design choices, most especially in the Town Center and the Cove.

The cove has the chairs replaced with clamshells, and the overhead lanterns connecting the Surf Shack to the first responders' building have been replaced with glowing jellyfish. The shrubs near the surfboards have been replaced by various pieces of coral and sea life.

The Town Center has an interesting model as well. The disco ball on the exterior of the Danceclub has been swapped out for a smiling puffer fish, which is strangely dissimilar to the puffer fish in Aqua Grabber. The Clothes Shop sign has a shark bite in it, and the blue lamps outside have again been replaced by luminous jellyfish. The plants to the right of the Clothes Shop have been replaced by coral.

One of my favorite details, though, would have to be at the Dock. If you look closely, penguins are lined up against the window examining the sea life. This is similar to fish displays at many zoos across the world.

Now I will examine the music for the party. The first track, 1124, is fast-paced and entertaining. It starts off with a flute or similar instrument and then has an upbeat string instrument as well as a xylophone. It is quite fun, and fits with the Beach's decorations.

Track 1126 is quite peculiar. It has bongo drums playing softly in the background; and one part of this tune, a part toward the end, sound like it was sampled from 313, which played at the Card-Jitsu Party in November 2011.

My favorite music at this party would have to be 1129, which played at the Cove. It is the theme from the Winter Luau, and was used at the April Fools Party 2011 and Operation: Blackout (. My favorite part of this song is when the guitar dies down a bit and the main instrument gets quieter. The drums have a bit of an echo effect for a bit then, and it's relaxing.


This party had a good amount of items available. While you could track Rookie and obtain his autograph for free, the rest of the items were available by completing tasks in the party interface. While most of the items are mediocre, some stand out. My favorite costume is the Crush costume. The shading on this one looks especially good, even if the head is a bit too big.

Two backgrounds were released at this party. While the Finding Dory Background is a bit dull, the Reef Background is very colorful and I always find cool little things about it.

The anemone is really cool and each little blade is shaded perfectly. The coral hut is interesting and has a maze-like texture. There is a portion of what appears to be sand in the bottom corner with a sort of wood-like consistency. Fun fact: this background and the Finding Dory Background have the same name on French servers. Oops.

This party has a respectable amount of things to play with. Every day until July 13th, you could log in and have another quest to find things. My favorite is from the Cove with the sand, because it was difficult and took me over 5 minutes.

I never would have guessed this spot. It took me a while to find it.
Thanks to 1999bloo for recording this.

My least favorite is the Dock because they didn't put any of the sunglasses in the gift shop where they would blend in. But props to the team at this party; the 3 items were hidden well most of the time, which is something I cannot say for parties such as the ongoing Frozen Fever Party or the School and Skate Party from September 2014.

The story is one of the more forgotten elements of this party. Dory has forgotten her way home and it's your job to collect objects to jog her memory. It's a nice, simple story. I'm not sure how sand would jog memory, but I haven't seen the movie, and maybe it's special sand.

This party was disappointing. The content we got was more than decent, but it had the power to be so much more. If they had just decorated three or four more rooms such as the Forest and the Plaza, I may have favored this party over Zootopia; but as it is, Zootopia is better. This party ranks at 5.5/10. Goodbye!

Oh, man, I have to stop writing party critiques all the time. It takes almost 4 hours to write just one of these.

Operation: Tri-umph Party Review

Oops, I messed up my schedule so now I have two party reviews in a row. Oh well.

Hello penguins! Today I am going to be talking about Operation: Tri-umph, also known as Operation: Doom. I sure am late posting this, so let's get started.


First of all, I am going to talk about the rooms. During the first week, only the Snow Forts was decorated. I do not think this is a good idea, nor did the community, and I am fully aware of why; This room isn't very good.

The dance floor does not look okay. It has these awkward ellipses in the middle that make the floor look odd; I'm glad they haven't done it since. The satellite sticking into the ground appears like it's facing completely in the opposite direction.... for some odd reason. I do like how the flags have been turned into disco balls, though. That's cool.

In week three, my favorite decorations were released.

I like the Plaza, but I don't know why the Pet Shop, Park, the three hotel rooms, and the Underground Pool aren't in gray. Oh well. I like how the items available in this room are in a briefcase instead of a crate as the last two were.


Now I am going to judge review the music in this party.

The first track, 1105, is quite obnoxious. It has a ton of screaming in the background, and it gets annoying very quickly. It is quite repetitive and repeats itself after less than a minute, 55.353 seconds to be exact. It never comes to a complete stop; it is quite definite where it begins and ends. The buildup seems to have just 5 or 6 notes used multiple times. Somewhere near the middle of the track, there is a portion that just plays twelve notes, made up of four different piano keys, while the artist repeatedly presses the same button on an 808 drum really quickly, which bothers me quite a bit.

The Town Center's music, 1109, is a remake of Track 297 from the Fall Fair parties, and is quite fitting with how much buzz the Town Center recieved in the second week of this party. It includes the buzzing of small vehicles in it, matching how it encourages playing around with little cars and stuff; not to mention that the most popular cars, the Wheelers, are from the Fair 2011.

And finally, the Cave Maze's music, 899, is welcoming and fun. It starts off slowly, but gets better as time goes on. It begins with some odd (possibly string) instrument, which plays two measures four times, but then it turns into an epic tune reminding me of the Festival of Flight for a few seconds and then encores the two measures four more times. After this portion of the track, a magnificent xylophone part is played and really reminds me of the Adventure Party 2009 and a bit of the Temple of Fruit and the Underwater Expedition from 2012. This xylophone part is definitely my favorite part of the song; I am a bit disappointed that it isn't present for longer.


The items were quite controversial for this party, and now I'll explain why.

This party has no new free items, but instead has 3 returning free items and 18 new free items for members only. They tried to boost sales for memberships, so they spent their time remaking a few old free items as members only, when they should have just let them be. The worst of these is probably the Music Jam Cap (ID 1266). Said cap, which was re-released for the 10th Anniversary Party, is for all players; yet the Dance Battle Cap (ID 21077), which is completely identical, is for members only.

Besides that, a few of the items, especially in the Town Center, seem just a tad improbable. For example, a large spoon will serve no purpose unless you run a site such as mine or PengFeed.

I know it's been said a bunch, but I wish they would've made at least three items for non-members.


And now, the most important factor of every party, the playability.

While we didn't get many things to do in the first week of the party, a lot more content was released in the second week. The Town Center has some really nice, fun things to do. We can play on the roads and the baseball diamond while we are super small.

The third week, the Plaza rooms were released, and this set was definitely the best. It had the maze returning from the Cave Maze event from May 2015. A lot of people reacted as if this was a bad or stupid thing, but I think it is quite wonderful. It gives newer players the opportunity to play a maze, and it adds to the otherwise small amount of events to do at this event. In doing this, they also give older players the chance to complete the maze, had they forgotten to log in for a few weeks in May 2015. I would say that the playability in this party is hit or miss.


The storyline for this event is simple and basic. Herbert decided that to make the penguins less of a nuisance, he would build a dance party at the Snow Forts. Second, he would use a shrinking machine to make all of the penguins really small. And third of all, he would take the color out of 2 and 1/2 rooms on the wonderful island of Club Penguin. To stop Herbert's evil scheme, the penguins had to find the main controls for the machines and shut it down. This is all well and good, except for a few questions: What would hosting a dance party do? I'm not completely sure. How would shrinking penguins make them less of a nuisance? Why didn't Herbert make any big machines like the Popcorn Bomb and the Sun Blocking Ray? This plan seems as he Herbert has stopped trying. In retrospect, this story sucks.


This party was a bit of a let-down. It had a few decent decorations, and the music was overall okay. The items weren't good, but it had a decent amount of things to do for a few days. The biggest problem was probably the story. I'd give this party a 4/10. Goodbye!

Adventure Ho!

Hello penguins! Today I am going to present to you all an interesting fact about one of the most popular parties ever, the Adventure Party.

The original Adventure Party ran from June 12th to June 16th, 2009 and was popular enough to warrant its first spinoff party, the Island Adventure Party, in 2010, and for the Island Adventure Party to encore in 2011, which was well-recieved, justifying another spinoff sponsored by Innocent Smoothies, titled the Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit in 2012.

During the very first Adventure Party, there were a few party rooms that most people seem to forget about. The one I am going to talk about is the Dock.

The Dock was replaced for the Island Adventure Party in 2010. It wasn't around for long enough to be fondly remembered by many, and not vastly different enough for a large amount of people to remember it for being unique; but I think this room is quite interesting in itself.

Instead of having a moving background like the team would have done if this party were to come out in 2013, it has two wheels spinning counterclockwise that loop a matte painting of the rainforest to give the effect that you are in the rainforest, but also still on Club Penguin Island.

I hope you found this fact interesting. If you did I will post more facts on August 22nd, 29th, and 30th for you all to enjoy. But until then, what do you think of this room? Goodbye!

Epic Igloos - August 2016

Hello penguins! Welcome to Epic Igloos, the feature here on Club Penguin Secrets where I show you 3 igloos and go into detail about them.

First, I present a vacation home igloo made by Spanish user Beyeza1. It features the house, a garden with many different types of crops to tend to, a small creek flowing into the garden, a picnic table with a colored umbrella and two lawn chairs, two red pool chairs with a glass end table between them and a Catchin' Waves beach towel in front of them, a well, a wheelbarrow full of fresh dirt, and finally, a glass statue of a penguin that is way taller than any penguin in the game. I think the best thing to do here is work in the gardens. I really want some of that tasty watermelon. Yum.

This is a train depot built by Harry Cp, also known as MyCPTales. It has a nice entrance room with benches and small trees. Above the doors is a clock tower, found in many train depots. To the left we have the ticket booths where penguins can buy tickets to ride on the monorail train. To the right we have a relaxation room of sorts with a bench, a Slurpee machine, a dish of candy, and a platter of tasty nachos and salsa. Delicious! Below that we have the platform for waiting whilst the train arrives. There happens to be a street musician's forgotten guitar case there, out in the open for anyone to steal. I hope it isn't taken before they return. At the very bottom we have the track with a train arriving. This train is really cool, and is made up of the 2014 Lockers, Old Sofas, and 2014 Puffle Tubes. It is one of the most stylish trains I have seen since the Holiday 2013.

The third and final igloo I will present this month is a prison created by the user Tamsy4. It has a nice front room with two computers, shelves with numerous trophies and awards, a control desk, and televisions which may or may not be for announcements occasionally. Below that, we see the cafeteria. It has lockers, one picnic table for the prisoners to sit at, and one cafeteria line with green slime and eyeballs, which may or may not be what actual real prisoners eat. The conversation room is to the right of the cafeteria. The conversation room is where the prisoners can talk to their visitors. The right half of the room is the cells. There are 8 cells in this prison, holding up to 8 prisoners. All cells have dishes of food and water for the prisoners to eat and drink. I wonder what the food is made out of.....

So that's all for this edition of Epic Igloos! Check back soon for more secrets and more! Next week I post a fun fact about the Adventure Party. I hope to see you then. Goodbye!

Fashion Festival Party Review

Hello penguins! Today I'll be reviewing the Fashion Festival from August 2015. Two reviews in two weeks? You people are spoiled. Anyway, here I begin.

First of all, the rooms. From the few rooms that we got, I really enjoy them from the start through week two. My favorite room is the Stadium. It has a lot of fun things to do, nice coloring on everything, and has a nice blue instead of the sand seen in many of the other rooms. It also features a nice golden puffle statue atop the waterfall.

The Dock is also really nice. It has a nice stage that fits the theme very nicely, and the voting booth even has a Party Hat on.



But at the start of week three, the winners of each category were announced in a very annoying way. The winners were announced in tall frames instead of a booth, which would have been helpful, as it was during the Festival of Snow.

One room that I didn't like throughout the whole party, though, was the Epic Wave. This room debuted at the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam in August two years prior, and was lots of fun. This time, the coloring was all weird. The rest of the party had a nice even coloring. Plenty of darks, plenty of lights. But the Epic Wave just had darks. 80% or more was either dark purple or dark blue, which is quite unappealing.

The music is notably enjoyable.

The main theme reminds me of the Fashion Show in February 2012, which, I assume, is what it was going for. 

As for the other tracks, the Snow Forts comes from the Music Jam 2014 and actually fits, which is a miracle at this point. The Dock may or may not be new music. It sounds quite familiar, but I can't seem to find the source. This track is wonderful. The Forest seems to have new music, which is quite nice and fits the theme. 

But most of all, my favorite track in this party is for the Epic Wave, which has been recycled from the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam of August 2013. It has grand instrumentation and doesn't get annoying, even after long periods of time. It's one of my favorite tracks in the game, up there with the Winter Fiesta 2008 theme. It also slightly reminds me of Pump It by the Black Eyed Peas simply for the instruments used.

This party had one item. Just one. It's a little less than two, but a bit more than zero. It's a background.

This is the Fashion Festival background. It's not good. The stage portion is fine, but the flowers are kind of mediocre. Dot had no reason to be here, and since they only have one or two drawings of her new outfit this is the only one they use and I'm sick of seeing it everywhere. The shadows don't even look right. Also, this item focuses on the classy stage while having nothing to do with the other two stages, which is stupid. It would be nice if there were different versions of this item without Dot in them, but this is what we got. Oh well.

This party has arguably more playability than most other parties in 2015. The 3 stages had playability already, but the main feature of this party was to create outfits, submit them, and then vote on them; But to submit outfits, you had to get a ticket. The way to get tickets was, you had to vote on ten outfits in the voting booth. This most likely prevented users from spamming outfits and overloading the system and preventing all others from collecting likes.

Another cool playability feature is that every two or three days, the categories on each stage would change. This keeps the stages fresh and interesting and justifies the length of the party - three whole weeks.

As for story, once again, this party has none. I'm glad that when I review the Inside Out Party next month, it will break the streak of no stories.

In conclusion, this party is good. It's not necessarily great, but far from being bad or obnoxious. It had some good decorations, and some bad decorations. it had some okay music. While the item wasn't very good, it had good activities to make up for it. I'd give it a solid 7/10. Goodbye!
