Club Penguin Customs - Puffle Party (Vol. 3)

Hello penguins! Today I will be unveiling something amazing, and you will never guess what it is, unless you cheated and looked at the title of this post. I will be displaying four new rooms for my fully customized Puffle Party! Yay! So let's begin, shall we?

So let's begin with the room I changed the least, the Coffee Shop. For the Coffee Shop, I used the Puffle Party 2015 variant. All I did was remove the Club Penguin Times sign above the Book Room stairs. After all, the Book Room doesn't hold the newspaper office at this party. See Vol. 1 for images of the Book Room. I also tried to change the archway to blue, but that didn't turn out well.


This is an update to the Pizza Parlor. You may be thinking, "But Icystorm 9, you already showcased the Pizza Parlor in Club Penguin Customs - Volume One! Why would you showcase it again?" Well, hear me out. This one is a lot better than the other one. The flaming puffle on the giant Hot Sauce bottle has shading added to match the shading already present before, and the red puffle next to it has been rescaled to be the same size as the other puffles. The menu on thecounter is a different color, having been changed from green to pink. The tables in the center of the room have been slightly changed, color-wise. A Jolly Roger flag has been placed on the left side of the pizza oven. I recolored the lightbulb and the shading by the pedestal, and set a small surfboard on the front. The balloons have been updated to fit more, since I erased some of the white on them. The red puffle atop the piano has been fixed so the layers follow physics. Most importantly, I have added a box of free Puffle Bandanas in front of the piano.

This is my version of the Plaza. I updated the ground to have snow instead of the yellow mats. I recolored all of the ground (while messing with the Puffle Park archway by accident) and made it gray. I edited the shading of the sidewalk just a bit as well. Finally, I added the puffle design in the snow from the Puffle Party 2012 (with a bit of recoloring, of course).

The Mall is definitely my favorite out of Volume Three. The first thing I did was I removed the snack cart sitting atop the escalator, and instead placed a matte painting of a yellow puffle painting on the wall. I then added the lights shining upon it from above, giving certain parts of it a lighter tint than others. Next, I changed the costume shop sign to have a happy puffle, as well as a nervous white puffle, whereas before the puffles were uncolored. I cropped in the tower seen at the stage in the Puffle Party 2009 Lighthouse, and enlarged it. Since the puffle was enlarged with the tower, I edited the princess puffle out and replaced it with a new puffle of the correct size. After that, I placed the stump down. I thought that the yellow puffle paintings should be included, so I placed them for free (backgrounds) by the doorway. I placed a crown atop the head of the mannequin in the clothing store, and added a sculpture of the Modern Art next to the cash register, as well as placing a snow sculpture of the Super Puffle next to the downward escalator. I recolored the paint can yellow in the Anvils + More shop window, as well as turning the cash register yellow. The entire Fragile Things, Inc. store has been removed and has since been replaced by a puffle painter, who paints your character. The Fragile Things, Inc. sign has been replaced by a sign displaying a paint set. To the right of the paint stand, the play director sits. This puffle directs the play occurring on the main floor. The puffles on the costume trunk have all been colored yellow. I recolored one of the hoodies in the bottom-left corner yellow and did the same with the Costume Trunk catalog icon. Finally, I placed a fish burger on the cutting board in the food court because my brother told me to do so.

This was definitely one of my favorite sets to make, especially the Mall and Pizza Parlor, which took 12 or more hours total between the 2 of them, not including updates I made for Vol. 1. I hope you enjoyed this set of customs. What room should I make next? 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!

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!

Blast to the Past - Water Parties

Hello penguins! Today I will be talking about some of the most popular parties in history, the Water Parties. If you weren't at the Water Party, continue reading for the necessary information. So let's get started!
In July 2007, one of the crabs behind the glass in the Underground Pool began to tap on a window. This crab mistakenly cracked the glass, and water started leaking into the cave. Penguins decided that a Water Party was a fun idea; this was the beginning of the very first Water Party. After that, Gary patched the glass and all was well.

In Summer 2008, due to positive reviews, Club Penguin encored the Water Party. At this second Water Party, the Mine was transformed into a museum displaying the story of the mishaps starting the first Water Party.

In August 2009, the entire island was lifted out of the water so Gary the Gadget Guy could permanently fix the windows in the Underground Pool, therefore putting an end to the Water Party, once and for all.

I really enjoyed sharing this fact, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I post them somewhat often, so be sure to check this site often if you enjoy them. Goodbye!
