Happy77 talks toys!

Greetings Penguins!

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!

Happy77 Asks a Party Planner

Greetings, Penguins!

On Monday, Billybob showed a hint of an upcoming celebration and lots of you guessed that there's a Puffle Party coming up! The pic of the green square puffle made me LOL. Nobody's saying too much yet but I thought you'd want to know some more so I talked to someone who's helping to plan it.

Do we need to be puffle owners to be part of this party?You don't have to own a puffle, but hopefully you enjoy being around them! Of course, we do encourage puffle owners to bring their puffles to the party... there may be activities for the little creatures...

Is there anything we should do to prepare for this event?
Practice your snowball tossing skills! Also, if you own a puffle, make sure to take good care of it.

Can we expect any surprises?
Every time we plan a party we try to add a few new things and this party's no exception. But if we told you more than that, it wouldn't be a surprise...

Sounds very fabulous... Let us know what you think!!

Until then...Waddle on!

Happy77 asks about Cart Surfer!

Greetings Penguins -

Looks like lots of penguins - including construction workers and rescue squad - have headed down to the Mine to check out what's going on. Don't forget that the Cart Surfer game's right there!

f you need extra coins for tomorrow's igloo and furniture catalogs, why not give it a shot? I polled a couple of experts around here and got some tips for the game:

Expert #1 - "Do lotsa backflips!"
Expert #2 - "Grind all the corners."
Expert #3 - "Crash on purpose to buy more time! Seriously!"

I tried 'em out! I even managed to get a couple of hundred coins in one game... Still, I think I can safely say one of my faves still is making dessert pizzas on the Pizzatron 3000. What's your high score? Let me know - and share any tips you've got.

Until then...Waddle (and surf) on!

Happy77 asks Igloo Artist

Greetings, Penguins!

Everyone's getting ready for the Igloo Contest which starts December 18! We're all stoked about making our homes look cool (especially with lots of candy canes)! I thought I'd get some tips from an igloo expert on how to really catch the judge's attention.

What makes a prize-winning igloo? Can you give us any tips?

It's not about how much furniture you use, it's what you do with it! The judges look for creative, festive igloos. So use your imagination!

And how do you enter your igloo in the competition?

You'll see a special igloo button in your igloo December 18-20. When your igloo is ready, just click it to enter.

Lots of readers are curious about who the judges are... can you tell us?

We've got two really special guests this year and they've got really different tastes. By my beard, I'll say nothing more!

Until then...Waddle on!

Happy77 asks Screenhog about Coins!

Greetings Penguins,

Hot topic? Coins For Change! Everyone's getting really stoked about it, and penguins all over the island are looking for ways to celebrate. There are lots of things you can do to help - one of the ways is to donate coins. I'd thought I'd get some ideas from Screenhog who knows lots about coins - and other stuff, too.

Q: Can you tell us any game secrets so we can collect coins faster?

A: There are games where bringing a certain color puffle will help you! There's also the challenge of getting through Jet Pack Adventure without earning a single coin. There's a big reward if you can do it.

Q: Any suggestions for penguins who want to do extra things to celebrate the season?

A: Well, Coins For Change is such a good time for helping others, so I'd suggest helping other penguins. Maybe if you see new penguins, give a tour! If someone's looking for the pin, help them out. (Pssst... the in-pay is in the orest-Fay!)

Q: Are there other ways for penguins to celebrate Coins For Change?

A: There are lots of things you and your friends and family can do to make a difference for other people around the world! Volunteering some time is a good place to start. Let us know your ideas.

Until then...Waddle on!

Happy77 asks a Card-Jitsu Expert

Greetings Penguins!

The Dojo Courtyard is the happening spot on the island right now! (The Goldsmithing outfit is quite fabulous - it's a blast to hang out there and use the tools.) Since lots of you are at the Dojo and you'll probably be playing Card-Jitsu when you take a break from building Amulets, I thought it'd be cool to talk to someone who considers themselves an expert.

Q. Tell us your greatest Card-Jitsu moment.
A. Well my absolute favorite moment was helping a group of penguins train for their black belt. It took 20 matches, 2 hours, and 1 extra large pizza with hot sauce, but it was worth it!
Q. What does it take to beat Sensei?
A. It takes good advice from your ninja buddies - also practice.
Q. I don't have a black belt yet (I want one - they remind me of licorice). What's your fave part of being a black-belt ninja?
A. The best thing about being a black belt ninja is the thrill of defeating - or even being defeated by - a worthy opponent. Putting out that last card and waiting...

It'd be sweet to have everybody's greatest Card-Jitsu moments in the comments. Have fun building Amulets!

Until then...Waddle on!

Screenhog talks Halloween Party!

Hey everyone, it's Screenhog! (It's also Halloween, so does that mean I should call myself "Screamhog" this week?)

Ah, Halloween, a time for candy and costumes and ghost stories, and... oh, you already know what Halloween is! I'll just get right into what makes Halloween special this year:

• "Night of the Living Sled" is back. Yes, Club Penguin's funniest scary movie continues at the Lighthouse! If you weren't here last year, you can watch 1 and 2 at the Coffee Shop and Night Club.

• All is not what it seems at the Mine Shack... it's been replaced with a Haunted House! Try clicking on everything... there are a lot of surprises there.

• After the Haunted House, head down to the Mine and click on the glowing green lamp. The laboratory is back, with some extra clothes to help turn yourself into a monster.

• Ready to go trick-or-treating? 8 candy pieces are waiting for you to find.

• Last, but not least, Club Penguin is dark and stormy! Enjoy it while it lasts! It's a perfect time of year to play Hide and Seek with your friends.

Happy77 talks to a party planner!

Greetings, Penguins.

This Saturday is really exciting because it's Club Penguin's 4th Anniversary! We're all stoked to party in the Town Center and Coffee Shop. I can't wait to get the new hat. This'll be my 4th!! I tried to get some info from some of the team who's helping with the planning.

Is it challenging to make such a HUGE cake for the Anniversary Party? Doesn't it make you hungry?
It sure does. That is why being a cake maker requires extreme self control (but I did go home and make a giant cake anyhow...)!

What's your fave party from the past year & why?
Definitely the Medieval party! Putting on my fish knight costume and waddling amongst the dragons and fellow gallant adventurers was an experience of epic proportions!

Lots of readers are really curious about the colors of the party hat this year. What can you tell us?
Haha, part of being a super party planner is not revealing secrets. I can tell you was that it was my favorite color combination ever! So I'm super excited to share! But not 'til Saturday.

I guess we'll have to wait and see... Bring your friends and your best memories. Remember: One day only!

Until then...Waddle on!

Happy77 asks a Monster Artist

wGreeting Penguins!

The team's been loving all the guesses you've had about Billybob's Halloween Party sneak peek! And we've already seen some sweet monster costumes around as everyone starts to get ready for the Halloween Party that'll hit at the end of the month!

Speaking of monsters, I got word that Squidzoid vs. Shadow Guy & Gamma Gal is happening at the end of the week at the Stage and there's a NEW MONSTER on the set! Nobody would tell me the whole deal, but I managed to get an interview with someone who helped make this new monster. Here's the scoop:
Q: So is it true? Will there be a monster who helps Squidzoid try to destroy the city at the Stage?
A: It's true. He just might be our biggest monster ever! I'm sure Squidzoid can control him though. 80% sure.

Q: Why did you decide Squidzoid needed help?
A: Well I don't want to say he needed the help, but the last few monsters didn't exactly do much to help out. It seems only fair that Squidzoid has a partner since there's a Shadow Guy and a Gamma Gal.

Q: You mean we'll be able to do MORE than just look at this monster?
A: Um...Oh would you look at that. I'm late for my pumpkin-carving lesson!

Hmmm....Do you think that the squid actually needs the help? I wonder what's gonna happen? I guess we'll find out on Friday.

Until then...Waddle on

Happy77 talks volcano

Greetings Penguins!

So...there's a whole bunch of buzz about the smoke that's been spotted and I've been kinda curious. I managed to sit down with someone on the team who helps with the island map. And here's what he had to say about the whole thing:


Q: Is this smoke we're seeing coming from a volcano? Or is it a mountain?

A: At first I thought it might be the Tallest Mountain, but it can't be. After all, there are taller mountains surrounding the one that's smoking. And when you think about it, it must be a volcano! Most of the mountains on Club Penguin have snow on the top of them, but that mountain has never had any snow on it.


Q: Does this have anything to do with the ninja stuff that's happening?

A: Well I can't give away all our secrets, but I've noticed that the ninjas in Club Penguin have been very active lately!


Q: Um...Haven't you noticed that there's no TREAT shop on the map?

A: I suppose there are no treat shops, but if you ever need to satisfy your sweet tooth go to the kitchen at the Pizza Parlor and turn the big red lever on the Pizzatron 3000

Not sure that my curiosity's been satisfied...but at least we know it's a volcano. And even though nobody's willing to confirm it, I still wonder if all these mysterious things are related. Let me know if you hear anything else.

In Other News: We're working on organizing the blog a bit - You might notice today that you'll only be able see the last three months of What's New posts.

Until then...Waddle on!

Happy77 Talks Sport Catalog

We're excited that Friday is just around the corner because there's a brand new Snow & Sport catalog that'll be released in the Sport Shop. I wanted to know a bit more about that catalog so I asked someone who works on it. Here goes:

How often do you make a new Snow & Sport catalog?
Four times a year. We started to put the months on the front of the catalog so you'll see when the next issue is coming!

If there was a candy-eating sport, would any of you make the finals? What sort of outfit would you make for that?
We'd eat our weight in candy and more! In fact, here's a sketch we just created that we think would be awesome to wear if there were a candy eating sport (We know there's no candy eating sport. This outfit is not in the catalog - it's just for fun!).



Hmmm. Too bad there ISN'T a sport like that! Let us know what you think! What sort of imaginative sporting outfits would you like to see in the Snow and Sport catalog?

dont forget party on saturday i posted book codes also

Until then...Waddle on!
