Club Penguin is a massively-multiplayer online role-playing game for children developed by New Horizon Interactive. Using cartoon penguin avatars, players can converse, play minigames, and participate in other activities with one another in a snow-covered virtual world. Club Penguin was first made available to the public in October 2005, and has since expanded into a large online community.
Club Penguin shares similarities with other popular online environments like Habbo Hotel and RuneScape. Though Club Penguin is a game designed for children of a young age (8-14), the game attracts people of many ages. Club Penguin has been qualified for the Better Business Bureau - Kid’s Privacy Seal of Approval.
Though the game can be played for free, many of the features are not available unless a subscription is purchased.
Secret Agents
Secret Agent Penguins are expected to act as informers, reporting violations of the rules of Club Penguin. They also help new members get started in the game.
Servers
There are currently 54 total servers. 47 being regular servers and 7 being ultimate safe chat servers. Ultimate Safe Chat is a type of chat where users have a list of premade messages to say. Standard Chat is where the user can type out messages.
Parties
Every month there is a party in Club Penguin where free items are given to both members and non members. The next party is speculated to be the grand opening of the lighthouse.
