Club Penguin Promotes Healthy Kids! - Introducing...iBitz PowerKey!

Club Penguin has teamed up with GeoPalz to promote healthy living! In case you haven't heard of it, the iBitz PowerKey is a new product by GeoPalz. It was added recently to Club Penguin’s products page! This device helps promote physical activity and in return you can unlock exclusive content in game! The PowerKey comes in purple, blue, green, pink, black, orange, and red.

Polo Field has made a post on the Club Penguin Blog briefly talking about it.

Greetings Penguins!

How awesome would it be to earn exclusive items for Club Penguin, even when you're not online? We've teamed up with GeoPalz to offer players in the U.S. the chance to use points earned from daily activity towards unlocking cool items online. With the iBitz™ PowerKey, you can exercise, have fun, and get rewarded for it!

All you have to do is wear the Activity Tracker and the more you run, walk, play, and get active -- the more points you'll earn! Pretty cool right? You can learn more about the iBitz™ PowerKey from our products page!

I'm curious... what daily activity would you use your tracker for??

Unfortunately it is only available in the U.S.

Club Penguin Blog: VIDEO: More news about the NEXT Big Update – CPNext

Penguins,

For the last year we have been working on something HUGE! We have been building a WHOLE NEW technology to take Club Penguin into the future. Right now we're calling it CPNext. CPNext will allow us to take the Penguin world to new platforms and devices – connecting our community here on clubpenguin.com to mobile devices on iOS and Android, smart TVs, and who knows what else may come?!

CPNext will look and feel just like Club Penguin today, with a few improvements along the way. We want it to feel as close as possible to the CP community you love! You've already seen the first version of the CPNext technology on "My Penguin" for iPad... mobile igloos are built on it already. We've worked hard to make sure that the CPNext igloos are fully connected with igloos on desktop, so the experience across both is totally seamless.

With CPNext, we will finally be launching the Jump to Friend feature! To make things simpler and faster, you can just jump to where your friend is right when you log in. Much simpler and easier than in current CP! We know this has been a long requested feature – and it's finally coming!

We know that there is some concern about always having full rooms. Don't worry! We've built a lot of smarts into the system to make sure you stay with your friends when you go from room to room. And we will be watching and listening and can turn the number of Penguins in a room up or down based on your feedback. This is your world and we will work with you to find the right balance!

We will be taking our "next" step with CPNext in December with the launch of the Town on iPad. We will then start launching new rooms into the app every few weeks! Over the next few months you are going to see the CP world come to life on mobile. And for those of you with iPhones, iPod Touch, or Android devices – we are working on these NOW and plan to bring the Club Penguin app to you, too!

This is only a tiny bit of what we have planned – wait 'til you see the future for Puffles and Card-Jitsu... ;)

Waddle on!

-Club Penguin Team

Sounds exciting! For more information of the upcoming app update here. 

Club Penguin Changes Game’s Font

You'll notice something different as you log in to Club Penguin. It seems the team has slightly modified the font in certain areas of the game! Check it out on the login page:

The font of the popups for incorrect penguin name and/or password has also been changed. Same goes for being banned.

Anyway, another area the font is changed is your player card and the name of your penguin. I'm not liking it. 

Other areas' font changed includes the postcards and penguin mail unread icon as well as other spots.

Notifications.

What do you think of the change? I don’t like it, it's better how it was originally.

I am always jolly on Christmas, its my absolute favorite time of year!Waddle on Club Penguin! happy holidays!"

Help Chattabox Stage a Play!

G'Day Penguins,

Wow – how awesome was the Club Penguin's Got Talent Party last week?! Thank you to all those who came along, you guys sure are talented.

This week I thought it would be an amazing idea to try out some acting at The Stage. Has everyone had a sneak peek at it since the Operation Puffle party started?! It looks so cool!

Bring along your Golden Puffles and get ready to have some fancy dress fun, I can't wait to see what costumes they have this month. I will even take a photo of everyone in their fancy dress for next week's blog.

Lets meet in the Forest on the Down Under Server at 4pm (East Australian Standard Time) on Thursday 28th November, which will be 6pm for all of you in New Zealand. Don't forget, this is 9pm Penguin Standard Time on Wednesday 27th November for everyone over in the US and Canada. Then we can make our way to The Stage and get ready for the best theatre performance Club Penguin has ever seen!

Sounds like fun!

The NEXT My Penguin Big Update - Club Penguin on iPad

It’s been a few months since the huge My Penguin 1.2 was released but it seems development hasn't stop! In addition to working on My Penguin for iPhone and Android, the team is also working on another update for the iPad app. While no official statement nor release date has been given, Spike Hike did say they’re testing it for a few weeks and then submitting it to Apple.

We just branched on next #MyPenguin update! Still a few weeks left for us to QA and submit to Apple but a new world of fun is coming soon!
— Spike Hike (@SpikeHikeCP) November 8, 2013

Check out this tweet from Spike Hike:

Do you see any difference? In Spike Hike’s screenshot, you can see a map icon in the bottom navigation bar. Currently it’s just a joystick.

Nothing has been said until about a few days ago, Polo Field made a new post talking about the next big update for My Penguin on iPad! It’s confirmed to be coming sometime next month and is no longer going to be called My Penguin. Because overtime the team will bring the whole online world of Club Penguin to mobile, which they are renaming it to “Club Penguin”. Check out what Polo Field wrote:

Since the introduction of igloos on iPad, the team has been secretly working on something HUGE… the next BIG update for Club Penguin. What is it, you ask?

I’m excited to announce that we’re planning to bring the whole Club Penguin world to mobile devices… starting with the iPad.

As you know, that’s a lot of work! So… we’re going to bring Club Penguin to mobile in the same way that we built Club Penguin back in 2005 — one little piece at a time.

Over the next year, we’ll be making small updates to the app previously known as “My Penguin”. The first update is coming in December, where your 3D penguin avatar will be able to visit 4 rooms on iPad for the very first time! And to celebrate the fact that we finally have the first few rooms available on iPad, we’ll be renaming the app. From now on, our iPad app will be called… Club Penguin!

What do you think these new rooms will be? Stay tuned to the blog to find out more.

Splendid! Wait a second, I smell delicious fruits and pizzas coming to the mobile app! Let's "jump over to a friend" and share the food! Find out more information at Trainman1405's post! But there's quite a lot of spoilers and information, so read in your own risk...

Club Penguin sure has a lot of employees named Chris…

Polo Field also mentioned a fun fact in his post.

Club Penguin Launching All New Merchandise Store

Club Penguin is launching an all new merchandise store, which is run through Zazzle, a company which many online retailers choose. There has been a lack of Club Penguin merchandise, things either being out of stock or no longer available. But in this new merchandise store, there’s a lot to choose from. You can check out all of the new Club Penguin merchandise here. It’s being officially launched tonight, but enjoy the early preview. Unfortunately the store is United States and Canada only.

When you first go to the store you’ll see tiles with four different categories. There’s also a navigation area on the left.

This new store by Club Penguin has more than just t-shirts. You can find all sorts of clothing like hoodies, cases for your electronics, graphics, and so much more! It’s all Club Penguin-ified. Here’s a few of the products.
