FINALLY I got a solution how to get ALL the Mini Games work within Club Penguin when using Internet Explorer 8.0 and Internet Explorer 9.0 :)
The problem has been that the arrow keys on the keyboard sometimes hangs or gets Stuck (Sticky) when Playing a Game…Club Penguin Games Fail with Internet Explorer 8 So far the workaround has been to use another Web Browser like Firefox or Chrome but the following tip from Club Penguin Tech Team made it work also in IE8 :) THANKS Club Penguin Tech Team :)
Here are games where the keyboard arrows are used: Aqua Grabber, Thin Ice, Puffle Rescue, Sled Race, Jet Pack Adventure, Cart Surfer, Astro Barrier, Dance Contest and Puffle Launch Game :)
Hello Saraapril,
We have seen this problem occur with mostly Internet Explorer web browsers because of the "Protected Mode" feature. This feature is interfering with the Flash Player plug-in on your computer and we need to add Club Penguin as a trusted site in order to stop this from happening. Please do the following exactly as listed and you should be able to play games on Club Penguin normally:
1. Open up Internet Explorer
2. Visit http://play.clubpenguin.com
3. In the top-right corner of the screen, click Tools
4. Click Internet Options
5. From here, click Security
6. Click the big green checkmark labeled Trusted Sites
7. On the right, click Sites
8. Click the Add button to add http://play.clubpenguin.com
9. Make sure the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone” option is NOT enabled (no checkmark).
10. Click Close, then click OK
11. Close Internet Explorer
12. Restart your computer. (For me it was not needed to restart the computer in step 12)
Give this a try and let us know how it goes. If you are still having problems there may be something else we can try with you.
Sincerely,
Josh

This I sent to Club Penguin:
Hi :)
THANKS :)
Finally a solution that makes it works!
How long have you known about this solution?
Saraapril :)
And I got an Answer :
Hello Saraapril,
I'm glad to hear that the fix we provided to you works. We have know about it for quite some time now and in most cases, where suggested it, it gets good results.
While there is a certain amount of consistency with fixing it, overall it is a very strange and unpredictable issue. Not everyone using Internet Explorer 7 or 8 experiences it and there is seemingly no reason for Protected Mode to even make it occur in the first place.
If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to write to us again.
Sincerely,
Josh

HURRAY! This is a Wonderful Day FINALLY it will be FUN to Play Club Penguin in Internet Explorer 8 :)
UPDATE: This workaround is also needed and work with Internet Explorer 9 :)
UPDATE: This Solution also works for the Puffle Launch Game :)
