CP Rewritten – HTML5: Puffle Roundup Introduced
The first mini-game has been added to the HTML5 version of Club Penguin Rewritten, which you can play here. You can now play Puffle Roundup at the Pet Shop, which was a room released very recently!
It should be noted though that coins are not transferred between the HTML5 version and the typical current version.
It’s pretty amazing seeing the island slowly come to life, especially as this is the first mini-game. In the update that brought this change, the “Mute music” button was also fixed.
Once again though, I’ll try and ensure that only the important information regarding updates to the HTML5 version are posted; I thought this was pretty cool, especially since it’s the first mini-game!
Thank you for reading, waddle on!

CP Rewritten – HTML5: Pet Shop & Iceberg Released
I’ve been pretty torn on whether or not I should post updates regarding Club Penguin Rewritten’s HTML5 version, also known as #CPR2020, but I think that I’ll make a post whenever something significant is released in regards to gameplay, such as a new feature or room. Generally, several smaller updates are released frequently, and the team tend to release a list of all changes, but most of them are minor.
Earlier today, a slightly larger update was released! Emotes are now available to use, and the Iceberg and Pet Shop can now also been visited.
To give you an idea of the amount of work being done, and why I can’t do a post for each update, here’s a list of updates so far since Sunday in lists released by the team:
- Penguin size is now smaller.
- Playercard doll items now fade-in when loaded.
- Some UI elements such as the Playercard are loaded before penguin clothing to allow you to access them quicker.
- Penguin clothing sprites now load in a queue.
- Fixed infinite loading for dynamic interface elements.
- The login screen received security improvements.
- Settings menu now displays the correct server you are currently on.
- Playercard stamps button now acts like a proper button.
- Penguin waddling has been made framerate independent to prevent super-speed penguins on some devices.
- Snowballs have been made framerate independent with increased throw speed.
- Chat dock now only allows certain characters and emojis.
- Playercard no longer opens when throwing snowball at a penguin.
- Fixed room triggers and login issues.
- Improved performance with clothing sprite synchronization & minor bug fixes.
- Playercard sort->other menu only shows when hovered over.
- Fixed some room triggers.
- Player nicknames don’t show behind sprites.
- Town disco stars are now off to save energy while they’re not being used.
- Clothing sprite and inventory loading has been optimized and infinite inventory loading has been fixed.
- Added emotes!
- Added Playercard ribbon.
- Added Iceberg and Pet Shop (puffles have not been added).
- Hovering over a button now shows a tooltip.
- Improved graphics quality for the Town.
- Settings menu now shows your penguin age.
- Music from a previous room will no longer play after it’s unmuted in another room.
- Interface now resets when you switch rooms.
- Penguins can no longer sit while moving.
- Clock tower target now works.
As you can tell, that’s quite a lot, and making a post for each one would be neither helpful nor easy! So, I’ll try to use my judgement in filtering the important stuff, and maybe do a weekly round-up of all the minor updates. I also recognise most people will probably be interested in the current Flash version, and will bear that in mind!

Club Penguin Rewritten: Public HTML5 Beta Test Launched (#CPR2020)
For a while now, the Club Penguin Rewritten team have been slowly revealing details about the upcoming HTML5 public beta test. This has now been officially released in a blog post, but I just wanted to give you a run down of what’s going on!
In case you’re unaware, the team are currently migrating the game to a more modern technology. There’s two primary reasons for this:
- In December, Flash (the current technology used) will begin to be retired by browsers. It’s also significantly outdated as it is.
- HTML5 (the more modern technology) will provide the team with more options. This includes mobile support, but they have also confirmed that features such as igloos improvements will be made for the more modern technology. Read more.
Without further ado, here’s how you can test it! You can sign in at the following link on any device, including mobile: https://play.cprewritten.net/2020/
This is really just a test, so a lot of things such as sitting and emotes don’t work yet, and it may feel a bit odd. You can also currently access the following rooms:
- Outdoor: Town, Dock, Snow Forts, Plaza
- Indoor: Coffee Shop, Dance Club, Gift Shop
By testing, you’ll receive an exclusive background! It’ll be added to your inventory automatically as long as you’re not logged in on both the HTML5 version and the Flash version at the same time.
Of course, a lot is being updated and there’s still a while to go! However, it’s pretty amazing to see the rapid progress which the team has made, and the game does play relatively well. It’s also really cool to be able to play on mobile devices!
Above are some more links with more information regarding the HTML5 change, in case you’re interested. I will keep you updated with more information as it’s released, but it’s amazing to be able to finally test it out!
Thank you very much for reading, be sure to check back for more of the latest Club Penguin Rewritten news and guides!

CP Rewritten Field-Ops: Alarm Traps (July 2020)
A new Field-Ops is available on Club Penguin Rewritten, and Gary has declared an emergency! He’s requesting immediate alarm traps to be established at the Plaza.
Before heading to the Plaza though, you need to visit the EPF HQ and click the yellow screen on the right to see this screen. Once you click “Accept Field-Op”, you’ll be able to continue!
To complete this, head over to the Plaza, specifically to the bottom of the room. Waddle to the crates there, as you can see the image below, where your spy phone will turn green and start bleeping. Click it!
Update: now the Medieval Party is over and the construction is gone, you need to still head to the Plaza but position yourself in the correct position. See below!
The challenge this time is to Tune the Radio Scanner! I must admit, this is a really tricky one, but the concept is fairly simple (it just gets really fast to the end).
A dial will rotate around, and you need to click your mouse when the arrow reaches the digit displayed at the bottom left of the game. Remember that they go up in intervals of 30, from 0 to 330!
Once you have completed that, Gary will thank you and reward you some medals. Thank you very much for reading, be sure to check back for more of the latest Club Penguin Rewritten news and guides!

CP Rewritten: Koi Fish Pin Location (July 2020)
A new pin has been hidden on Club Penguin Rewritten until July 30th! You can find this pin at the Lodge Attic, accessible from the Ski Lodge, at the top left between the two couches. It’s the Koi Fish Pin. 🐟
To obtain this pin, click it and then click “Yes”. It will be then be added to your inventory so that you can wear it as well as your stampbook! If someone is blocking it, I would suggest going on a less empty server to obtain it.
Thank you very much for reading, I hope that this guide helped! Be sure to check back for more of the latest Club Penguin Rewritten news and guides!

CP Rewritten Times: Issue #167 – Dragons Conquering
A new edition of the Club Penguin Rewritten Times has been released, providing a bit more information about what to expect at the Medieval Party when it begins on July 23rd! Construction for this event has also begun at locations such as the Town and Beach.
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.
The new edition of the paper informs us that:
- Gary has discovered more details about the book which Rockhopper brought! He’s declared an island emergency with intelligence that dragons will be attempting to conquer the island at the Medieval Party when it begins on July 23rd…
- A new Penguin Style will be released on August 6th and a new Furniture Catalog will be released on August 13th (thanks Rockhopeer0 for spotting the typo!)
- A new pin will be released on July 30th
Some pretty interesting plot developments have been made in this edition, but we’ll need to see where it all leads to when the Medieval Party begins next week!
Thank you very much for reading, be sure to check back for more of the latest Club Penguin Rewritten news and guides!

CP Rewritten: Final Medieval Sneak Peek – Hearts
Over the course of the last few weeks, the Club Penguin Rewritten team have slowly been sharing sneak peeks of what to expect when the Medieval Party begins on July 23rd! The first showed some crystals that has been attributed to the catalog, the second shows some sort of darkened sky, and we now have the third and final image!
It appears to depict some hearts and a plus.
Although this is just a prediction, I suspect that it could be a battle, where the hearts show the amount of life left in the enemy. That enemy could be a dragon, but this is just completely speculation and we’ll need to wait until the party begins to know for certain!
Thank you very much for reading, waddle on!

Club Penguin Rewritten to Become Playable on Mobile
Some speculation had built earlier in the month when there was a little hint that Club Penguin Rewritten could become playable on mobile devices in the future. This has now been confirmed by the team.
All of this is to do with the game being migrated to a more modern technology, in which there’ll be an official blog post about soon regarding a public test. The exact details aren’t entirely known yet, but the team have said the first test is “almost ready”.
One of the benefits of us switching to HTML5 and other technologies is CPR will be playable on the majority of phones [and tablets] from release.
-Thorn, Club Penguin Rewritten administratorUpdate (16th July): this is a common question which I wanted to address – this doesn’t necessarily mean an app will be created that’s dedicated to the game. I’d find that to be pretty unlikely. Instead, it’s more likely that this means you will be able to play the game on your default browser.
Currently, some people used third party apps to play the game on mobile devices, but it’ll be pretty cool to have a way to do so officially! In regards to when to expect this, there’s been a bit more shared than “almost ready” lately.
I don’t have a date to share; it’s been worked on pretty much every day though so everyday is a day closer.
-Thorn, Club Penguin Rewritten administratorThere’s been a lot of news on this new HTML5 version lately, but I’ll ensure to keep you updated as more is released!

CP Rewritten: Rockhopper’s July Background
View Rockhopper tracker
Rockhopper has begun visiting on Club Penguin Rewritten, with his first visit today being on Blizzard! As usual, he was tracked by the tracker, but I just wanted to let you know the background which he’ll have for throughout the week!
It’s shown below, and it’s actually quite an exclusive one. Before now, it was only available when he made a series of visits in March 2019.
This was also his playercard for the visit. By the way, it was great fun speaking to so many people at the Pizza Parlor! (hi!)
If you didn’t meet him, don’t worry; there’ll be plenty of visits throughout the week, so best of luck meeting him for one of those!
Waddle on!
