CP Rewritten: Igloo Likes “Soon” to be Implemented
Last year, the team stated that they were considering methods to introduce Igloo Likes whilst ensuring that they didn’t become too competitive in-game. Their decision has now been revealed, and Igloo Likes won’t be displayed on the Igloo Map! They will, however, be added to the game “soon”.
Penguins, we will be releasing Igloo Likes soon due to [many] requests. This will come with a slight change: Igloo Likes will not be showing up on the igloo maps; this is to remove the competitive feel that Igloo Likes brought in original Club Penguin.
-stu, Club Penguin Rewritten administratorFor those unclear how Igloo Likes work, on classic Club Penguin, you could press “Like” if you visited an igloo that you found nice. In the screenshot below from 2014, you can find that button at the top right.
Players could then visit an igloo to see how many likes it had, along with who liked it. It’s likely that the feature will function in a similar way on Club Penguin Rewritten when it’s implemented too!

CP Rewritten – HTML5: Igloos & Catalogs
A large number of updates were recently made to the Club Penguin Rewritten HTML5 version, which you can play here. Since it’s been a while, I just wanted to run you through anything which you may have missed.
The main update is that igloos and catalogs (Penguin Style & Furniture Igloo) have been added! The igloo system is different to the Flash version as it’s more modern; you can now have multiple igloos at once, and it’s easier to find different furniture. So far, you can only use the default igloo, though that’ll change later.
The full list of changes is fairly extensive, along with the list of known bugs, but here’s the list of gameplay updates if you’d like to check out:
- Igloos have been added to the game!
- Furniture Catalog is now available for use.
- Penguin Style Catalog is now available for use! Show off your awesome outfits with the now-outdated June catalog.
- The Igloo Editor has been implemented with the “brand-new” AS3 design! You can now create and save up to 4 different igloos.
- Forest room has been added.
- You can now see penguins while editing your igloo!
I’ll continue to try and keep you in the loop on progress made to the HTML5 version, especially as the transition grows closer. Thank you for reading, waddle on!

CP Rewritten – HTML5: Igloo Plans, Hydro Hopper & Buddies
Happy August! Earlier in the week, I mentioned that I’d try to summarise all of the updates to the HTML5 version every once in a while, so I thought that’d be worth doing now since a lot has been added. As always, you can play it here.
The first big update is that Hydro Hopper has been added to the Dock! It’s the second mini-game to be on the new version, along with Puffle Roundup at the Pet Shop. The known bugs with this are the missing string, the fact your penguin colour doesn’t change, missing water ripples and transparency of the boat.
The second big update is the buddy list has been added! It doesn’t currently display your friends from the actual Flash version, but the latest update does allow you to search for friends. This means you no longer need to meet people in order to add them.
It is worth warning that it’s plausible that the Friends List could be reset before it properly launches though.
Improved igloo systems have been pledged by the team for a while now, and they have already stated that the bulk of the reform will be introduced with the new HTML5 version. A sneak peek has been released of the modern igloo system which makes decorating so much easier! You’ll also be able to save multiple igloos.
Igloo likes will be added, but unlike on classic Club Penguin, only the igloo creator will be able to see how many likes they have; they won’t appear publicly on the map.
Lastly, just a small piece of information about the transition from the current Flash client to the new HTML5 one: there will not be a farewell party for the transition. That pretty much covers all of the updates though, and I’ll of course keep you updated about new information as it is released!

CP Rewritten: Igloo Likes Leaderboard Consideration
Some of you may remember from a few months ago where quite a lot of excitement was around for improvements to igloos, including a multiple igloo option!
However, there hasn’t been too many updates to igloos recently, so I thought it’d be worth sharing this new information given earlier today by the Club Penguin Rewritten team.
It reveals that there will be a shift in focus to igloos “very soon”, and also that there were many considerations involved that made implementing a leaderboard for igloo likes difficult.
I think when igloos were our main focus for a bit, we were very scared on the igloo likes option and thought about having it reset like the leaderboard does, to make it fair, etc.
Right now, we have other things we’re focusing on and it’s exciting, but we’ll definitely go back to igloos very soon!
-stu, Club Penguin Rewritten administrator
I’ll definitely let you know as more is revealed regarding igloos; some of the changes made towards the end of last year (eg. the “no igloo” option) were wonderful, as shared in this month’s interview!
Waddle on!

CP Rewritten: September Igloo Improvements
It seems like there’s been a whole sprint on improving igloos recently on Club Penguin Rewritten, with even more features coming soon! In the last two days, some additional improvements have also been made.
There’s numerous bug fixes, and the team released a full list of improvements, but I reckon the most anticipated one is that the Full House stamp has now been fixed. You can obtain it by placing 99 items of furniture in your igloo.
Here’s the official list of changes announced here:
- Added a blueprint to know when someone is editing their igloo.
- You can now add flooring in non-igloos.
- You can now remove the lower left sticky note.
- Performance improvements when it comes to loading igloos and furniture, shorter load times.
- Players can now load their circus igloos and place flooring in them.
- Players can now see a penguin change their igloo without refreshing.
- Removed the white checkered background during editing on non-igloos.
- Fixed an issue where furniture would spawn top left on non-igloos.
- Disappearing furniture on save fixed.
- Furniture loading is much faster especially during editing.
- Item loading is much faster in your inventory for clothing and furniture (try it out!).
- Newspaper/Blueprints will show properly even if someone rejoins the room, so now you know that you’re actually not being put on seen by your friend.
- You can shift click on furniture while editing your igloo to add multiple quickly.
- 99 Furniture stamp fixed (finally, thank you for shouting at us.)
- Furniture will load much better now when entering an igloo and won’t look like a PowerPoint presentation.
As you can see, a very extensive list, and definitely something that’ll be appreciated by igloo makers!

CP Rewritten: Multiple Igloos Option Coming Soon
Earlier today, the Club Penguin Rewritten team offered the option have no igloo as an igloo, meaning that you essentially get a lot more space. It’s been a heavily requested feature, along with multiple igloos being saved, and that’s now confirmed to come.
Question: What about (having) the ability to have multiple igloos and a furniture search bar?
Answer from the team: Yup, will be a thing, we’re just adding a few options at a timeFor now, you can purchase “No Igloo” in the Better Igloos catalog for 500 coins! The Circus Tent igloo was also released today for 3000 coins.

CP Rewritten: Exploring Different Igloo Tools
Just two weeks ago, the Club Penguin Rewritten team released four igloo locations. Since then, many have been wondering about the possibility of having no igloo, as well as a more modern design system.
The more modern design system is generally considered to be the better one, as it allows for three igloo designs to be saved instead of just one, due to a “Save Igloo” feature.
However, the team have now commented on the possibility of this being brought to the game, explaining that they are currently exploring the different options dependent on user feedback.
We are looking into different igloo tools we can add to the game. The igloo location is just a push in the right direction for us, judging from the public’s reaction, a lot of people want more and we always listen to user feedback.
-stu, Club Penguin Rewritten
I personally hugely prefer the more modern igloo design system over the older one, simply because it’s so handy to be able to save igloos! Thank you very much for reading, waddle on!
