Club Penguin turns fifteen…
Hey everyone,
It’s always remarkable to write a post celebrating Club Penguin’s anniversary each year; the idea that a virtual world which initially started off as an idea in a basement would continue to maintain a global community, even subsequent to the official closure, reflects something profoundly special. However, I just wanted to share this quick post to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary.
Remarkably, it also marks ten years since I signed up to classic Club Penguin with the username “Torres 126”! Memory is a weird thing, but I think that I still remember some of the events on the day that I signed up today despite how much younger I was.
My penguin on the Club Penguin app! Who would’ve guessed how different life would be as a result of that decision? I often think that there’s some chances in life that we never really consider at the time, but they end up being hugely influential…the people, experiences, and opportunities that I’ve gathered since signing up ten years ago reflect that joining Club Penguin was one of those.
More broadly though, I think it’s important to express gratitude to the thousands of people who made and make the things which we enjoy possible, especially on a day like today. Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of conducting interviews with several former staff members for this blog, and the impact which their work had (both on individuals and the globe, particularly through Global Citizenship campaigns) never fails to amaze me.
Happy anniversary, Club Penguin.

CP Rewritten: 15th Anniversary Party – Full Guide
Amazingly, it’s been fifteen years since Club Penguin released on October 24th 2005! As part of those celebrations, there’s usually a traditional Anniversary Party, and while the original game has sadly closed, there’s currently one ongoing on Club Penguin Rewritten now.
It’ll last for just one day, so be sure to visit the Coffee Shop where most the fun is at! There’s two things to highlight here:
- The 15th Anniversary Hat can be found by clicking the statue at the bottom left – this will never return, so I highly recommend obtaining it!
- If you don’t have the Celebration! stamp already, you can obtain it by blowing out the candles on the cake – to do this, just click the cake
It’s also possible to tip the Iceberg and receive the Iceberg Tipper item. In order to this, you need to have a lot of penguins drilling anywhere on the Iceberg, and it’ll start to wobble then eventually tip.
The ability to tip the Iceberg will extend a few days beyond this party, so don’t worry if you’re struggling to find a busy server!
The other thing to note is that Sensei and Aunt Arctic will be visiting throughout the day, and the tracker has already recorded their first visit! They should help with tracking them:
Happy anniversary to Club Penguin!
Waddle on!

Card Jitsu Cards Giveaway (24/10/20)
Hi everyone! Usually, I tend to do only one of these Card Jitsu Card giveaways each month and I’ve already done one this week. However, given that Club Penguin launched fifteen years ago today and a large number of people entered the giveaway earlier in the week, I thought it’d be nice to do another one!
As such, this “bonus” giveaway is a way to celebrate it being fifteen years since Club Penguin launched, so there’ll only be a short chance to enter!
They are the following cards:
- Pizza Chef
- Ice Hockey
- Baseball
- Snow Castle
- Shark
- Avalanche (power card)
The giveaway has now concluded – Linkld has been randomly selected as the winner! [screenshot]
In regards to the Entry Question answer, hat A was the one released on classic Club Penguin, and 80% of people answered correctly.
The giveaway will last for less than 24 hours as it ends at 7pm GMT, but I hope it’s enough time to allow everyone to enter!
Have a lovely day!

CP Rewritten Times: Issue #177 – Zombies
A new edition of the Club Penguin Rewritten Times has been released! The winners for the Halloween Igloo Contest will be revealed in the next edition on October 29th.
For the best experience, I would recommend reading the paper for yourself online as it always contains a variety of cool things such as artwork, but as always, I will summarise the news revealed.
To be honest, this paper doesn’t reveal anything new if you’ve been following the recent posts: the Anniversary Party will occur tomorrow, Sensei and Aunt Arctic will visit, the Iceberg will be tippable, and you can transform into a zombie at Halloween where a special item (likely the Halloween Scarf) will return.
I did just want to make this post though as it marks the conclusion of the Halloween Igloo Contest too, so good luck if you entered that! The judges will now make a decision…
Waddle on!

CP Rewritten: 15th Anniversary Party Sneak Peek
On October 24th, an Anniversary Party celebrating classic Club Penguin turning fifteen years old will occur! Both Sensei and Aunt Arctic will be visiting for this event, and the Coffee Shop (and likely a few surrounding areas) will be decorated.
The first sneak peek of the rooms at the event was released earlier today! It shows some of the decorations in the Coffee Shop, including a fragment of the cake that will be present.
Thank you very much for reading, be sure to check back for more of the latest Club Penguin Rewritten news and guides!

CP Rewritten: Sensei’s Background for Anniversary Party
Almost exactly a year ago, the Club Penguin Rewritten team said there’d be more chances to obtain Sensei’s then-new “Elemental Giveaway” soon. It turns out that “soon” has meant a year, but that chance will be available this week!
In other words, for the Anniversary Party that will occur on October 24th, Sensei will be visiting with the background below. So far, it was only available at the Anniversary Party in 2019.
Aunt Arctic will also be visiting for this event, and the Club Penguin Rewritten team have stated that they’re unsure of what background she could offer; it could be a new one, but this is dependant on time constraints within the development team before the event begins.
Thank you for reading, waddle on!

CP Rewritten: Aunt Arctic & Sensei to Visit for Anniversary Party
A couple of further details have been confirmed about the Anniversary Party on October 24th. Firstly, while the decorations and items will only be present at the Coffee Shop for that day only, it’ll be possible to tip the Iceberg during the event and a few days after it concludes.
Secondly, the Club Penguin Rewritten team have confirmed that Sensei and Aunt Arctic will be visiting for the event. Sensei likely isn’t a surprise as this was strongly hinted before, but Aunt Arctic will also be making an appearance.
As always, you can find their trackers with lots of information about them here, including their location for when they’re online:
Best of luck meeting them!

Card Jitsu Cards Giveaway (20/10/20)
It’s the third Monday (okay, I’m a day late – sorry!) of the month, so it’s time for another Card Jitsu Cards giveaway! This one will run for just under a day with a single challenge. I should stress that, as always, these cards are loose physical ones, meaning they’ll be posted to your address.
All of them are from set one and you can see them below.
They are the following cards:
- Coffee Shop
- Soccer
- Halloween
- Black Puffle
- Captain Rockhopper
- Thin Ice (power card)
The giveaway has now ended! The winner was Appnanas; please check your email! If you didn’t win – no worries, there’ll be more of these in the future. [screenshot]
In regards to the riddle, which you can see below, the answer was Skip! I accepted any answer which included the word “Skip” or “Bellhop” (since that was ultimately his role). He was present at the Halloween Party in 2014.
48% of entries contained the correct answer.
Waddle on!

CP Rewritten: Halloween Sneak Peek – Zombie Transformations
A new, and likely final, sneak peek of the Halloween Party has been released by the Club Penguin Rewritten team! This one effectively confirms that it’ll become possible to transform into different creatures once the event has begun.
The sneak peek also depicts the zombie transformation – it’s pretty spooky! 🧟
For those wondering, although this transformation was first present at the 2013 Halloween Party on classic Club Penguin, this year’s party won’t be from then as revealed by the team’s statement: “this isn’t the 2013 Halloween Party. Custom rooms from us”.

CP Rewritten: Spooky Pizza Parlor Treats Sneak Peek
Earlier today, a sneak peek was shared of the Pizza Parlor during the Halloween Party! That only depicted the areas surrounding the doors though, and the Club Penguin Rewritten team have now shared an additional sneak peek.
This new sneak peek focuses on the tables of the room instead, and instead of pizza…it’s been filled with treats!
It definitely looks like the room is going to have a spooky atmosphere once the party begins though. Thank you for reading!
Waddle on!
