Descendants Party Review

Hello penguins! Today I will be discussing the controversial Descendants Party of September 2015. So without further ado, let us now commence with the analysis.


As for the rooms, there are only 3 decorated rooms and no special party rooms. So for Club Penguin, this isn't good. This will probably be a short section.

The Mine Shack is a boring room. The exterior to Aurodon Prep looks too much to a castle and too little like an actual school. Aside from that, the paths to the Dojo Courtyard and the Skatepark aren't very easy to see, and the entrance to the Mine feels like a joke, being a mere trap door created using the wood from the regular Mine building. I've seen the grass before in the Puffle Park and the Water Party; but this grass looks as if it is meant to be real, whereas the grass in the Puffle Park is astroturf and the grass seen in the Water Party is sod. One cool thing about it, though, is that the statue changes every couple minutes into something cool.

The School is alright. It looks how I imagine a fancy school would. I enjoy the study room quite a lot. It doesn't feel too crowded, much unlike the cafeteria in the regular School. The classroom is not nearly as good; It is very typical, and it has some obnoxious square-patterned stained-glass windows. Not to mention a few graphical bugs.

This chair has no seat. I suppose this student will have to stand.

The Iceberg is, by far, the best room in this party. It has a dark sky, some nice building designs featuring some interesting things painted on the wall. In the distance, a small array of small ice chunks can be seen floating in the water, which is really cool. The Aqua Grabber is placed in a spot that is convenient, and it doesn't feel like it's there because it has to be; instead it feels like it was placed there because that was the most natural location for it. One note, though, is that the clotheslines have pants that penguins are unable to wear, due to them not having legs.

3 rooms for a party seems really lazy. It is slightly understandable with the current art team of 2 people, with them also having to design catalogs and such, but at the time, Club Penguin had a larger art team and they made what is, to this day, the smallest official party of the 2010s. It wouldn't hurt to decorate the Mine and the Forest. The Mine hasn't been decorated at all since it was redesigned in 2013, and I was really hoping that it would be decorated for this party. Unfortunately, that's a bunch of lost potential.


This party had some very interesting music choices. At this party, every single decorated room had different music.

The first track, 954, which played at the Iceberg, is not good. It sounds like dubstep (of which I am not a fan), but attempting to be a cheap pop music instrumental. Another thing that's not helping is that you could lay the vocals from Kesha - Cannibal on top of Track 954 and it would fit quite well.

The second track, 955, which played at the Mine Shack, is quite bland. It sounds as if it's heard in the background of all school movies (Lemonade Mouth, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Monsters University, etc.). It's nothing special. As I type this sentence, I have been listening to this track for a mere 4 minutes and I have already grown tired of such monotonous music.

The third track,  956, which played at the School, is out of place, but mediocre otherwise. It starts off sounding like it was directly pulled from the Teen Beach Movie soundtrack, and then quickly gets all cheery and such. Trumpets start playing, and penguins begin to cheer in the background. The first point that I would like to make is that I do not like the cheering. If I wanted to hear obnoxious noises from others when they weren't necessary, I would spend more time with my siblings. The next topic is that this song is way too cheery for a school. When I enter school, I usually think, "The next 7 hours are going to be boring." I have never walked into school on a regular day and thought, "What a glorious day this is, that I get to continue my education!" Happy songs like this do not belong in a school, much less a quiet school such as this.

Also, apparently the Town Center had different music for this party, but it sounds identical to the regular Town Center music.


The costumes are plentiful, but mostly forgettable. I originally thought there were only 4 character costumes (because there were 4 characters on the login screen), but it turns out that there were 6 characters. I only know 2, though, those 2 being Mal and the son of Cruella De Ville.

The head items are so bland that only 2 of the 6 look like parts of costumes. The rest appear as if they come from the Penguin Style in 2013.

If I didn't look it up, I wouldn't know if the hair in the bottom-right corner is from a costume, or if it is the one in the top-right.

The feet items available are all boots. None are particularly special, with the exception that one set is blue. I am aware that in the movie (that I didn't watch), the characters most likely wore boots, but they look so generic that they could've used previous feet items instead.

Remember that the artists couldn't make more party rooms because of these bland items.

But don't forget, there were non-member items available in the interface. Most of them are forgettable. The first 4 are variants on things we already had. The only things I could find use for were the last 2 non-member items, with one of them being a literal stick.

Since when do dogs exist in the Club Penguin universe?

This party has very little playability. This party was marketed as a party of imagination, but to do that, we need to be given the material to do so; at this party, we were not given that.

The Mine Shack had no playability at all. This room would be completely useless if it didn't have the path to the Iceberg.

The school has very little playability; the only thing I found to do at the school is taking part in class. Penguins could potentially have conversations with others in the study room or the hallway, but that can barely be considered as playability.

The Iceberg has a few things to play with. First off, there is a child's wagon that could be used for sitting in, if the need arises. Featured also is a big building with 2 stories and a balcony, with open doors to allow penguins to see into the second floor. There are other buildings that are less beneficial to playing and storytelling. Not only are there things to enjoy on the Iceberg, but there is also a pier extending to the Northeast, possibly to go fishing on. This is positively the best room for playability at this party.

This party has no story whatsoever, which is a shame, for a decent story may have saved this party from such an unpleasant rating.

This party was not good. It had lackluster rooms, annoying music, unmemorable items, and little-to-nothing to do. On the other hand, the Iceberg was nice to look at and had things there that could occupy me for at least 3 minutes. This party gets a 2/10. Goodbye!

I would like to thank the great people at the Club Penguin Wiki (especially the Wiki Archives) for information and use of .swf files for analysis. I could not have made this review without these sites.
