In the past for Mountains Monday, whenever I’ve shared images from a Club Penguin office, it’s mainly been from the headquarters in Canada. However, there were several throughout the world, and there’s some impressive photos from the office in Buenos Aires, located in Argentina! I wanted to share two of those today.

The first one is simply a picture of two doors, but the decoration on them seems really creative, as it depicts different Club Penguin characters! The other image from the Argentinian office was a photo of an impressive puffle mural.

I hope that you enjoyed reading this post!

For the Mountains Monday featuring a photo, I’ve decided that it might sometimes be fun to feature a specific piece of merchandise, especially one which is a little uncommon – and that’s exactly what this week’s post is about!

It’s a watch which could be bought from ToysRUs in 2008 for $9.99. However, photos of it today are extremely rare, and it’s believed that there hasn’t been one available to buy for quite a while. This has led to it being forgotten by many players!

I’m not sure if I’ll continue to use Mountains Monday to feature this old pieces of merchandise, but maybe every few months or when I run out of other photos, which probably won’t be anytime soon! If you did like this type of post though, be sure to let me know!

Waddle on!

In 2011, at Metrô Tatuapé Shopping Centre in Brazil, there were a variety of decorations ahead of Christmas! They included a tree decorated with puffles, along with lots of different penguins and snowmen designs from Club Penguin. For this week’s Mountains Monday, I thought that they’d be fun to share as Christmas approaches! 🎄

My favourite part of these photos are the penguin designs; I think they look really cute, and the holiday clothing which many of them are wearing fits nicely with the background. Above all, it’s pretty remarkable to think that nine years ago, Club Penguin was even taking over shopping malls!

That’s all for today’s Mountains Monday post and real-life photo, I hope you enjoyed reading it! Waddle on!

I’m sorry about the lack of Mountains Monday posts lately! I’m going to try and get back into writing them, but please do be patient with me as things have been a bit difficult lately. As part of the schedule, today is a photo from something in the real world!

In 2008, the Club Penguin team held an event at London Zoo. There was an area dedicated with stickers of the game, and a large poster of the map! In addition to this, there were some stalls set up of different areas from the virtual island.

It’s pretty amazing that this was over a decade ago, but I thought that it’d be fun to share! Thank you for reading!

Waddle on!

It’s the fourth Monday of the month, so as usual, time to share a photo of some related to Club Penguin in real life! Cakes have been doing rounds around the web lately, but there’s a rather iconic photo of Lance Priebe (rsnail – one of the three founders of the game) cutting a cake that I wanted to share today!

It was at a cake from Dairy Queen to celebrate for Club Penguin reaching one million registered accounts, so this was many years ago! In fact, at the time, that small cake was enough to provide a slice to every employee in the team.

It’s amazing seeing how much everyone has aged since then too! For those interested, that’s Holly (happy77) on the left and Lance (rsnail) on the right cutting the cake. Chris (Screenhog) is also sitting next to Lance. Perhaps Lance looks just a bit too happy cutting the cake – he was described as a “samurai warrior” and “delighted”!

I hope that you enjoyed this random Mountains Monday post; thank you for reading, and waddle on!

Another Mountains Monday has arrived, and as it’s the fourth week of the month, it’s time to share a photo of something in the real world related to Club Penguin! I’ve always found this one quite cool, and it’s particularly relevant with all the musical festivities ongoing on the island currently.

As you may be aware, Club Penguin was founded in Kelowna, which is a city in Canada. In this city, it’s actually possible to find pianos based on the game which people can play, so that’s today’s photo! You can see the puffles on the piano on the left.

The reasoning for this is that the pianos present there were sponsored and funded by Disney Interactive, so among community designs, one of them had a puffle. As such, I thought that this was a pretty cool image to share.

Thank you very much for reading, waddle on!

The Kelowna Innovation Centre is a location in Canada founded by Lane Merrifield, who you may know as Billybob, one of the founders of Club Penguin. For today’s Mountains Monday, I wanted to share a wonderful photo from there.

At the end of 2018, when Club Penguin Island had announced closure, members of the team (old and new) held a little get-together there. As part of this event, the staircase was decorated with the different designs of the Holiday Party.

I must say, it’s quite remarkable seeing the evolution of the artstyle with just penguins related to the Holiday Party. You might spot some familiar characters, such as the Merry Walrus, too! If you’d like to see the post from when this event actually happened, you can find that here. But it’s been a while, so I thought it was worth resharing.

Ps. Lane is currently recovering from the coronavirus – just wanted to join the rest of the community in wishing him a swift recovery.

Waddle on!
