Walking Around

To walk around, click where you want to go, and your penguin
will walk towards that spot.
If your penguin does not move where you want it to go, there may be something in your way, like a piece of furniture or a snow bank. Try clicking in a
different direction to move around the obstacle.
To move through a door or to enter a room, click on the door.

Games

Club Penguin has within it several ‘mini’ games that allow you to earn coins.
Some games are single penguin games. This means that you can play these games by yourself. Some are multi-penguin games, meaning you play them with other penguins.
To play a single penguin game, simply go to that game and click it to play. A screen will pop up that asks you if you would like to play; click yes or no.
To play a multi-penguin game, click the game, and then click “yes” when it asks, “Do you wish to play?” You will get a spot in the next available game. When enough people are ready to play, the game begins.

Penguin Coins

Club Penguin Coins are your currency for buying stuff. You earn coins by playing games inside Club Penguin. There are many different games to choose from: Mancala, Ballistic Biscuit, Astro Barrier, Bean Counters, Sled Racing, and many more. Playing any of these games will earn you coins as long as you finish the game.
Coins cannot be purchased with real money, only earned within the game.
Coins cannot be transferred from penguin to penguin.
When you buy items, coins will automatically be deducted from your penguin account, and the item will be added to your inventory.

Buying Items (Members Only)

If you are a member, you can spend your coins to buy items or
furniture for your penguin.
To buy clothing and accessories, go into the Gift Shop and click on the catalog to shop for items to buy. Click ‘Buy Now’ in the catalog for the item you wish to purchase. When you buy an item, it gets added to your inventory.
Your penguin will not automatically wear the item you purchased. You must edit your penguin to wear your new clothing.
To buy furniture for your igloo, please read the “Edit Your Igloo” section of the help document.

Customizing your Penguin (Members Only)

If you want your penguin to wear something you bought, you need to edit your penguin. To edit your penguin, CLICK on your penguin, or on the Edit button on the main menu. This will bring up your player card.

If you don’t own any items, you won’t see any listed. You can buy items at the gift shop with the coins you earn.

Items in your room can be moved by clicking, dragging and dropping.
To rotate an item, click and hold the item, then use your Left and Right arrow keys on your keyboard. The up and down keys will alter some items in a different way, for instance, the up arrow will fill the garbage can, while the down arrow will empty it. Use Up and Down arrows with different items to see what they do.
To buy an item from the magazine, click the item, and then click ‘yes’ if you wish to buy it. It will be added to your items in storage and the coins will be removed from your account.
To get out of edit mode, click the tape measure again.
To exit your igloo, walk to the door, or use the map.

Map

The Map is your shortcut to the rest of the penguin world.
Click the map icon on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to open it. Once open, you can click on the area of Club Penguin that you want to go to next, and you will automatically go there.

Quick Keys

There are many short cuts to communicate by emotes and actions. To use the short cuts, or quick keys, make sure to click outside of the text box at the bottom.

Some quick keys are:

e1 = Laughing face
e2 = Smiley
e3 = Straight face
e4 = Frown
e5 = Surprise
e6 = Sticking out tongue
e7 = Wink
e8 = Green sickly face
e9 = Red angry face
e0 = Sad face
ef = Flower
eg = Game
eh = Heart
el = Good Luck
ec = Coffee cup
es = Skull
e! = Big exclamation mark
e? = Big question mark
s = sit (use arrow keys to change directions)
d = dance
w = wave

Flooding the Chat

If you type too many messages in too short a time, you may get a message that says “Hey! Stop flooding the chat!”
This simply means that you are sending too many messages at one time. Flooding the chat slows everybody else down. The server wants you to slow down, or your messages might get ignored.
If you continue to flood the chat, you will get another warning. If you keep it up after that, you will get temporarily kicked off.

Actions

Your penguin can do certain actions – wave, dance, sit, and throw a snowball. To do one of the actions, click on the Actions icon – the sitting penguin (on the left side of your bottom menu). Then click on the action you want to do.
If you want to sit down, click the direction you want to face in the action menu.
You can also use quick keys to do actions.

There are many secrets hidden throughout Club Penguin. We could tell you more about them, but that wouldn’t be any fun.
Have fun finding them!
