Bounty in the Sea Caves

What is going on CP Fans, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Yesterday CP Staff Member Joe put up a brand new blog post talking about one of Club Penguin Islands Locations, The Sea Caves.

"Our bravest divers came together to create this awesome infographic of the top treasure spots."


"And remember—trapper plants are not your friend! (I found this out the hard way)."

App Updates—How Do They Work?

Hello Guys, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Last week there was a brand new post on the Club Penguin Island website talking about how App updates work, check it out.

"Hi penguins!"

"We did an early release of 1.4 to a small number of random players on Monday. Since then, some of you have been asking about how updates work. I talked to the devs to find out!"

Why do some players get an early release?
"We do a lot of testing, but sometimes we can’t know how an update will work until thousands of players are using it. An early release lets us see how everything holds up before more players arrive."


"In fact, our early release of 1.4 let us catch a bug and squash it! Thanks to the players that helped us find it before the whole community bumped into it"

Why can’t I see my friends after an update?
"We like to let players update their app when it’s convenient. This means some players will be using the new version and others will be on the old version. To prevent weird bugs, players on different versions won’t see each other."


"If you’re not able to see your friends, you might want to check if there’s an update for you to download. Your friends can do the same."

Why am I sometimes forced to update?
"Once most players have updated to the new version, we’ll make it so that everyone left will also be updated. This way, there isn’t a small number of players playing alone."


"Hopefully you’re now all feeling up to date on updates! (Hahaha, nailed it!)"
Signature Image
 
Thanks for the update Joe, it is good for those who don't know how to update their app to get some help from the CP Team. I believe that Club Penguin Island is doing alright for now, but as more updates come out the game will get better. What do you all think of this blog post? Do you look forward to the updates coming to the game from time to time or do you not really care so much?

"Hi penguin pals,"

"It’s been a fast-paced week here thanks to the new Cars 3 decorations. Everything feels a bit… speedier!"

"For members who want to channel their inner Lightning McQueen, we’ve got just the upgrade for you. Our new video shows exactly how to create your very own Cars 3 inspired race suit!"

Internet Safety

Hello everyone, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Yesterday Club Penguin Staff Member Joe put up a brand new blog post talking about Internet Safety on the game, check it out.

"Hi penguins,"

"Today I want to get serious for a moment and talk about Internet safety."

"It’s not just Aunt Arctic who keeps the island safe—it’s up to every penguin to play a part in Internet safety."

"Here are some great ways to stay safe online:"
  • Protect Personal Info: Keep information about yourself a secret. This includes things like your name, address, phone number, and even the city you live in. Your penguin name is all your online friends need to know.
  • Keep Passwords Secret: Would Gary share the password to his lab’s computer? No way, and you shouldn’t share passwords either—except with a parent or guardian.
  • Speak Up: Use the REPORT feature if you’re uncomfortable with something someone says in Club Penguin Island, either to you or another penguin. For steps on reporting a player, check out: How do I report another player?
"Thanks for keeping the community safe. And fun! And awesome! And dancey!"
Signature Image
 
I Remember Club Penguin would always talk about Internet Safety from time to time in the last game and with more and more kids growing up with technology it is nice to see them remind all users of this. Club Penguin Islands Filters are so strict that I can't even put a number in words because of how worried they are for players safety. Anyways what do you all think of this blog post from the Club Penguin Team? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and more blog posts will be coming soon.

New Party Game: Marble Hunt

Wuss Poppin Penguins, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Yes that introduction was stupid but I had to do it once. Anyways the Club Penguin Island team had Joe put up a brand new blog post about a new Party Game coming out in the update, check it out.

"Hi penguin pals,"

"There’s a new game coming to Club Penguin Island, and I’ve just GOT to spill the beans. Or should I say, marbles?"

"Marble Hunt is a game for EVERY penguin. Members can buy the game at shops, and then they can invite ANY penguin to play."

"I’m going to suggest finding the best hiding spots on the island now because you’re gonna need them!"

"If you’re the Hider you’ll have to be super sneaky in hiding marbles in tough-to-find places. And if you’re the Seeker, you’ll be using your detective skills to track the marbles down—and you’ll have just one minute to do it!"

"No matter who wins, you’ll both be rewarded. The winner gets 30 coins and 5 Rookie XP, and their opponent gets 20 coins. Niiiiiice!"

"So, who’s ready to hunt?"
Signature Image
 
Thanks for spilling the Marbles Joe and I have to say I am extremely excited more games being added to Club Penguin Island. I am hoping that this Marble Hunt game will get me into the game more since it takes a while for a game to grow close to me. What do you all think of this new blog post? Are you excited to see more games coming in Club Penguin Island? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and more blog posts will be coming soon.

Discover Tangled on Club Penguin Island

What is up everyone, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Club Penguin Staff member Joe published a brand new article on the Club Penguin Island website talking about a brand new TV spot of the game being shown on Disney Channel.

"Hi penguin pals,"

"I’m sure most of you know a ton about the island. You’ve raced in the Sea Caves, you’ve climbed to the top of the Migrator, and you’ve discovered strange tracks on Mount Blizzard."

"But what about those who’ve never heard of our island home? Well, we’ve made a Tangled-inspired TV spot on the Disney Channel to introduce ourselves!"

"Maybe we’ll be seeing new Rapunzels and Flynns running around the island. After all, the more penguins the better! (How else are we going to get those Crate Co. shipments delivered, right?)"
Signature Image
 
Thanks for telling us about the new TV Spots Joe, I don't watch Disney Channel all the time but I will keep an eye out for this commercial.

Rookie Adventures Coming Soon!

Hello Everybody, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Over the past week there have been a couple new blog posts on the Club Penguin Island blog where one of them talks about more adventures coming soon.


"Adventure’s returning to Club Penguin Island, and it’s wearing a Hawaiian shirt and propeller hat!"

"Rookie’s ready to turn Mount Blizzard into one of the greatest tube hills of all time—well, if things start going right for a change. It seems that wherever our goofy hero goes there’s a boom. Or crash. Or blam."

"Whether hiding a 50-ton anvil or dodging a jet tube, every problem can be overcome. (But, um, maybe suggest that he take a cooking class.)"

"Members will be able to help Rookie through some of his toughest challenges, and who knows—maybe Mount Blizzard really could win the prestigious Pick of the Year award. But most importantly, maybe Jet Pack Guy will notice!"
Signature Image
 
I am pretty interested on how Rookie will be put into the game and what kind of tasks we will be asked to do. The post does say that it will be part of Mount Blizzard so maybe there will be some race competitions we will have to do, who knows. Anyways leave your thoughts in the comments section below and more blog posts will be coming soon.

Hardest Club Penguin Product to find?

Hello everyone, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Today I am going to discuss about a product from the Club Penguin Merchandise that is extremely difficult to find or at least as I have found to be and that is this:

Yes here it is the infamous (at least to me) Rock N Roll Plush. At first sight it looks like a penguin that is dressed up as Elvis but it is actually based on an outfit from the Club Penguin game.
Now this outfit contains two different items that came out in the original Club Penguin Game. The Hair which is named The Rocker was released in October 2007 for the Big Wigs Catalog and the body item which is called The Supernova Suit was released in the Penguin Style back in July 2008. I often question why these two items were not released at the same time but I guess the Club Penguin Team either didn't think about making an Elvis like penguin or there could be some other issue such as licensing. Of course I don't know which particular look of Elvis Presley the Club Penguin Team was trying to go for but it may have been one of his jumpsuits that looked like this.

I have to admit I really like that the Club Penguin Team decided to have an outfit in the game represent the King of Rock N Roll. The best thing about this particular design is that the Club Penguin Team had Jakks Pacific make a plush penguin that wore the outfit. The Rock N Roll Plush was first seen on the Club Penguin Series 6 tags which were on the Plush Penguins that could be found in stores. However a Club Penguin fan by the name of AquaBlue500 published a post on their website talking about the particular plush which you can view here. If you don't want to click on the link and rather here the details on this blog post then here it is. Aquablue said that he went to a Target and went to the Plush Toy Section of the store and found there were no Club Penguin Toys there. However he did find the tag with a sticker saying Series 6 on it. When he peeled the sticker off it showed the Rock N Roll Plush as another collectible plush in the series. He went to contact the Club Penguin Team and they said it was a mistake where it would be released in the next series. So instead of waiting I Investigated this and bought the Water Sport Plush to see if the tag did have the Rock N Roll Plush on it. Since this Plush is over 7 years old the Sticker was really stayed on there and I did some damage to the tag, but as you can see this is indeed a real thing.

After the Tag showed that the Rock N Roll plush will be a real thing there was a blog post put up by Saraapril which you can view here. In her blog post she found that this particular plush was a Limited Edition Penguin and could be found on the Toys R Us website which seemed pretty awesome. The Plush was the same height as all of them being 6.5 inches tall and had a code that could unlock items online. However the products picture was taken off of the website for unknown reasons which I can't say if it was because they did not have it in stock or if it was just the photo for it. One thing to note about these products is that Lane Merrifield or otherwise known as Billybob said that he orders one of every Club Penguin Product made in an interview by Parents. This interview was done at the Club Penguin Headquarters in Canada and you can view that video right here. Lane Merrifield seemed to be right about wanting to collect as much Club Penguin Merchandise as possible as he posted this tweet on Twitter showing off his collection.

The one thing that really caught my eye when I first saw this tweet was you guessed it, the Rock N Roll Plush. In fact when I saw this tweet back in 2012 I said that it was an awesome collection and that I really liked the Elvis Penguin and the Viking Helmet Penguin which I now own.

Of course the Rock N Roll Plush from Lane's Collection appeared in the background from the New Horizons Part 1 video which was a documentary that talked about how Club Penguin started. You can watch the full video of the documentary right here.

Unfortunately Lane Merrifield has not been put up any tweets since last year, but his account does show that he has liked a couple tweets from this year. So instead of asking Lane Merrifield on how he was able to obtain this Plush Toy I instead asked the Club Penguin Team if they have seen it at all. I have to give a big thanks to Anett for replying back with this:

The Text here may be hard to read so I will also post below on what Anett from the Club Penguin Support said.

"Unfortunately, we don't know of any specific places you can find that particular plush. You are already looking in all the places we would recommend. In regards to us having any at the studio, I'm not sure. We don't have much merchandise left in house at this point as new ones are not being made. I will keep an eye out though!"

I was devastated about hearing this comment from the Club Penguin Support but I can't really blame them as the particular product I am looking for is not easy to come by. If they were able to find one then that would be amazing, but only time will tell.

Well that seems like the end of this ridiculous blog post that I wasted about an hour on. I have been looking for this piece of Merchandise on websites such as Ebay, Amazon, and about every single foreign site I could find on the internet over the past couple of years. As of right now I check on Ebay daily and check the foreign websites about once every two weeks. This obsession I have with this Rock N Roll Plush could not be described in any better way than making a whole blog post on it. Most of you will probably never come back to this website because of the Downward Spiral I have been in trying to get a hold of this specific product. Anyways I plan on going up to Canada in exactly 1 Month from now and I plan on bringing the Water Sport Plush to the Club Penguin Headquarters to ask (I mean Interrogate) any employee that has seen or knows the whereabouts of one of the hardest pieces of Club Penguin Merchandise to acquire. Anyways please leave your thoughts in the comments section below or even tell me if you had seen a Rock N Roll Plush in person and until next time this is Crzypengu saying Waddle On.

Grooby Tube-y



 


Hello Penguins, Crzypengu here with the latest updates. Bobbi from the Club Penguin team published a brand new blog post about different tubes on Club Penguin Island.

"Hi, penguin family!"

"You may have seen members using tubes* on the island. I was listening to the team talk about how they create these tubular transportation devices with a penguin personality in mind."

"So, without further ado, here’s a list of tubes—and their matching personality types:"


"Funky Feather—for the chill-est of birds who want to show their colors"

 


"Cake Cruiser—for those who never want the sweet party to end"
 

 

"Firebreather—this communicates a larger-than-life, fiery disposition"
 


 
"Gravitube—for those who want to defy the odds—in style"
 
 
"Ugga Tube—for the ug-at-heart, a truly retro tube"
 

 
"Lifesaver—for heroic types who like to be fully equipped for ALL situations (like searching and rescuing squid sticks and stinky cheese)"
 

 
"Xpedition—for thE Penguins who Forge their own paths (in the snow, sand, and water)"

TOP SECRET SHHHHH:

"ALSO… I snuck a peek over the shoulders of an artist or two and saw more tubes. There was a super-gold-shiny one, a weird and hilarious one, a vaguely familiar-looking snowflake, plus a few high-speed tube machines that looked as fast as lightning… you’ll see them in the next updates."

Signature Image
 
These are some pretty cool tubes for the game and I can see why many penguins like to ride in these things around the island. I am hoping to see even more unique ideas for these tubes as they have some pretty cool designs behind them. Do any of you guys have any ideas for a new tube that should come in the future? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below and more blog posts will be coming soon.
