They come in peace :)

First contact made with alien puffles. By Jet Pack Guy — Attention citizens of Club Penguin! The following is an announcement of the highest priority. We are not alone. I repeat: We are not alone. Alien life has been discovered. Or rather, it discovered us.

Two weeks ago at zero-five-hundred hours, Herbert P. Bear contacted the EPF. He claimed Klutzy the Crab was beamed up by an unidentified flying object. For obvious reasons, Herbert P. Bear was not included. Thanks to EPF agents, Klutzy was recovered. The alien puffles are peaceful. Now the spacecraft is in danger of crashing. Herbert P. Bear stole the UFO’s power supply. I urge all citizens to remain calm. The EPF plans to stabilize the vessel before it falls to Earth. Brave agents work on this as we speak. We are evacuating all alien puffles. Citizens are asked to adopt a puffle and bring it to a safe home. Keep a watchful eye, agents. We must discover Herbert’s plan for the power supply.

Let’s welcome our visitors!

Encounters of the adorable kind. By PH — Wowza! Who ever thought there was life beyond the stars? This changes everything we know about puffles! They sure are unique creatures — and cute too! I was expecting them to have some kind of sticky tentacles. They might be a wee frazzled about their ship acting wonky, but they’re really a brave lot. And I reckon they’re awfully curious to have come all this way to explore Club Penguin. I’m sure our new mates would love to be shown around our igloos. What a discovery that will be for them!Crikey, they’ll even get to make friends with all kinds of puffles! I bet they’ll really get along with brown puffles. They both love to create crazy technology! Y’know, they’re gonna fit in really well here. Just remember, this might seem weird to them until they adjust. After all, to them we’re the aliens!

How do you play Pizzatron in candy mode? – Pinknoel9
So you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, Pinknoel9? Well, I know the way to activate Candytron 3000! When you’re on the menu for Pizzatron 3000, you’ll see a lever off to the side of the hot sauce. Click on the lever and it will turn to candy mode! I wonder who it is ordering these strange pizzas. They can’t all be going to Rookie... right?

Dojo Design - By Aunt Arctic — Wow, this is such a detailed portrait of the traditional Dojo! It’s great to see pictures that capture the island’s history. The Dojo has undergone many changes with Card-Jitsu Fire, Water, and Snow. It’s so nice to look back on it. Excellent job showing the wisdom and mystery of our ninjas’ home base. I’m sure Sensei will smile approvingly when he sees this.

Secrets Classified What Was That Space Rock?

By Gary - If I were to make an educated guess, I would say the space rock is a solid containment device that uses chemical energy to produce electrical energy. That is to say: it’s a battery. A very, very powerful battery unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Surely Herbert can’t be trusted with such an apparatus! I’m not even certain of how we could replace it for our alien friends. This will require more than the two AA batteries powering EPF Headquarters!

AREA 501! Klutzy the Crab :)

AREA 501!

A new gated community? By Rumor Reporter — Have you heard the rumors? Alien encounters? Tin foil hats appearing out of nowhere? Well we thought there was something more to these conspiracy theories, and it looks like the truth is right inside Area 501.

We’ve heard reports of Jet Pack Guy flying around, and even some polar bear sightings! But lately, the stories coming from all over the island have been out of this world. I say your best bet to discover the truth is to investigate. Make sure to take good notes. When we interviewed Aunt Arctic about all of it, she said, “No comment.” She was nice and all, but I have a few theories about her, too.... Get the scoop and report back!

Klutzy the crab!

In with the wrong crowd. This is a general public service announcement.The Club Penguin Times has been asked (by anonymous sources) to have everyone on the lookout for a very specific crab. Klutzy the Crab is the known sidekick and accomplice of Herbert P. Bear—a villain who has plagued the island with evil plans for years. Klutzy may not be as dangerous as Herbert—there have been eye-witness accounts that he enjoys dancing and puffles. If you spot him around, please be resourceful, be remarkable, and be ready. He is the subject of an ongoing investigation.

Some of my friends like peanut butter but some hate it, do you like it? – Perunamuu
Hello Perunamuu, Such an interesting question and well timed! I was just thinking I need to better hide my peanut butter. My puffle, Scone, has been undoing lids and helping himself to rather large portions of snacks lately. Indeed I enjoy peanut butter, but likely wouldn’t eat the whole jar at one time like Scone. I prefer it with jam, chocolate, or as a treat when Sensei visits for tea.

Fan Art by Emma58 :)

Time for a wish! Well done, Emma58! I had this up on my computer when a few of my friends were visiting the Club Penguin Times office the other day. There were a lot of “ooohs” and “awwws”. Dot appreciated the lovely dress design, and Rookie especially enjoyed the wishing star in the back. In fact, I heard him wish for an extra large tuna sandwich on rye with mustard! I personally love the way that you’ve used the dramatic background to make your art feel special and important. Keep up with your creative work!

Extreme Paint Festival! Sensei's Past!

Extreme Paint Festival!

Gimme an E, gimme a P, gimme an F! By Rookie — An exciting new event has come to the Dock. The EXTREME PAINT FESTIVAL! You can throw paint all over the place and have a blast. Nothing else going on around there. Just this awesome artistic mini-event!

Come by and get creative. You could even paint the big metal wall that’s there. That might help it stand out less! So far, I’ve painted my pet rock, another penguin, and my own lunch! Now my squid and mustard sandwich looks too good to eat! Alright, that covers everything. This is Rookie, signing off. Sign off!

Sensei's Past!

A beard that long means a mysterious past. By Aunt Arctic — Many have spoken to Sensei, or even faced him in a Card-Jitsu duel, but there is still a great deal of mystery about this grey penguin. I know I’ve always been curious about his past, but he’s very tricky to interview. He’s the only one that has ever answered me with a haiku!We know he has been on the island for a very long time. He first appeared after a snowstorm, when he dug out the Dojo and began training ninjas. When Tusk appeared, we all learned more of his past. Sensei and Tusk had trained together (along with other ninjas) when they were young. A tragic accident left Tusk stranded deep in ice caves, and it turned him into the villain we know today. But there is still much I don’t know. What other challenges did he face between his training and becoming a Card-Jitsu master? If any ninjas have more luck than me, let me know! I’d love to hear what you find out.

Did you find out more about the Penguin Medics? – Slippy82266
I did! Some may remember that reader Mirissa2406 brought the Penguin Medics to my attention. Well, she wrote back with more info. She sounds like quite the reporter. The Penguin Medics are similar to the Rescue Squad because they help penguins who are in trouble or sick. They like to use natural medicines, and they try to keep the environment clean. Mirissa2406 also tells me that they’re very secretive. Well, that explains why I’m only just hearing of them!

Robots go Berserk!? Ghosts of Halloween Past!

Robots go Berserk!?

This wasn’t in the designs! By Gary the Gadget Guy — Gadzooks! My robots have gone completely rogue! They were only meant to give helpful information, but they’ve run off! I never imagined their programming would allow this. If you see one, be cautious. They’re not safe and we have to deactivate them!

The Gary Bot has been sighted in the Mine Shack, and his behavior is very unscientific! This is extraordinarily alarming! I’ve heard the robots have been sneaking up on penguins, especially while they look at laptop screens. Several brave assistants and I are going to test a theory to see if we can stop them. We will use specific stimuli to cause a phobic feedback overload! That is, we can scare these robots into shutting down.If you’d like to participate, meet outside the School. And keep an eye out for any clues as to how this all happened!

Ghosts of Halloween Past!

The most adorable haunting. By PH the Puffle Handler — G’day mates! The mysterious ghost puffles have reappeared at the Dock. They had a terrifyingly terrific time during last year’s Halloween Party, and they’re back for more happy haunts. Unlike other visitors, these ones are welcome. Last Halloween, Gariwald VIII, Gary’s ghostly great uncle, was investigating the haunting of the Puffle Hotel. He thought they might have been the culprits, but the ghost puffles were innocent, of course! It was a nasty ghost named Skip that was causing trouble.They can be very mischievous and play lots of pranks, but ghost puffles are also protective. You and your penguin pals will be safe with these floating friends around. Members can adopt them until the end of the party, when they’ll disappear.

What are the items behind glass in the Clothes Shop? – Plattypus81
Good eye, Plattypus81! Those are the most treasured items in the Clothes Shop’s collection. They are from the early days of Club Penguin, and they’re prized for their historic value. With those, we can see how fashions have changed. They may not be as trendy now, but it’s great to have a little piece of our history up on display.

Fan Art by Sylve365!

It's aliiiiiiive! By Gary the Gadget Guy — Syvle365, you have rendered a superb depiction of a new puffle species! I mean, that’s a great drawing of a new puffle. Or is this a green puffle dressed up for the best holiday of the year?  The drawing is so convincing, I can’t tell. I would love to see another puffle that’s at home with Halloween. Then the ghost puffle will have some company for trick or treating!

Bots going bonkers! Rockhopper's Plants :)

Bots going bonkers!

Not quite a 3000 model yet... By Aunt Arctic — I'm getting tips from all over the island. The bots that Gary designed are giving penguins the creeps. Party-goers say the robots are messing up the recorded lines and saying eerie things. We're in the final week of the Anniversary Party, hopefully no one gets too spooked.

Gary is reviewing his designs and examining the robots, but he can't figure out why they would act this way. He said, "There is less than a 1% chance all of the robots would have this error at the same time." Something strange is certainly going on here. I've seen the Rookie bot, and the look in its eyes is quite unsettling. Stay alert as you explore the island, readers. I think there's more to this story...

Rockhopper's Plants :)

Not exactly a green thumb. By Captain Rockhopper — Do ye know the story of the 2009 Adventure Party? Why, it be a favorite tale of mine. It be a Tuesday, those many years ago, and I be arriving on Club Penguin with a hold full of marvelous plants. Well, I thought they be marvelous. They turned out to be a bit monstrous! They be growing all over me ship, and all over the island.It not be a bad party though. There even be a snowball-eating flower that grew big and then burped! Har har! I never thought I be having so much in common with a plant. Ye can go see it now in the Tree House, right by the Forest. Happy adventuring, me hearties!

What is the oldest game on Club Penguin? – Icy824
Hi Icy824. It's great to get a question about the island's history during the Anniversary Party. The first game was Hydro Hopper, which is still available at the Dock. Before Catchin' Waves, dedicated surf fans would compete to get the most coins or go the furthest. There are still lots of fans of the game, though. It's a great feeling to finally master the jumps and swings! Now is the perfect time to give it a try. Just be ready to hang on tight!

Dino Puffles Return! Time Tour :)

Dino Puffles Return!

A blast from the past! By PH — Crikey! It's been a long time since I've seen a dino puffle. They're here for the 10th Anniversary Party, all the way from prehistoric times. The pink stego and the black T-rex are in the Town if you want to see them. They're real beauts.

When the party construction crew needed help with the prehistoric Clothes Shop, Gary the Gadget Guy volunteered to go back in time with the Time Trekker 3000. He brought back all sorts of decorations for the store. But, it looks like he brought back a couple of puffles too! I can't say I blame the bloke. Who could resist these critters? Gary adopted Darwin, his blue stego puffle, from the Prehistoric Party of 2014, so he's got a soft spot for 'em. As pets they're totally ace. They really love a good run through the Puffle Park. It's a lot like the jungles from the prehistoric times. Members can adopt them until the end of the Anniversary Party.

Time Tour :)

Not our usual time travel. By Aunt Arctic — So far, the tenth anniversary has been just delightful. If you haven't already, I highly recommend walking from the oldest party to the newest one. We've time traveled before, but this is a little different.
• 2005 - Start at the Rink and see how it looked at our festive Holiday Party
• 2006 - The Ski Hill is decked out in team colors for the Sports Party
• 2007 - Check out the top of the Lighthouse to catch some vintage Summer Party decorations
• 2008 - You have a couple choices for this year, but the Book Room above the Coffee Shop has really spooky décor
• 2009 - See the extra-colorful Snow Forts from our first Puffle Party
• 2010 - The swashbuckler style of the Forest is from one of our Island Adventure Parties
• 2011 - The Ski Village has been lively for the whole party thanks to the Casa Fiesta and the Music Jam room
• 2012 - Grab a bite in the deliciously decorated Cove from the Temple of Fruit party
• 2013 - After all this walking, relax at the beach in the Plaza
• 2014 - Go all the way back to the past with the Clothes Store from the Prehistoric Party

How can I learn how to fly? – Eye Shadow
Hello Eye Shadow. Flying is one of the greatest dreams of penguinkind. That's why the jetpack is so great! It lets you fly all over the island, at least for a little while. I've attempted to solve the fuel shortage problems several times, but the answer has eluded me. You can try out flying by going to the top of the Lighthouse. You'll find the Jet Pack Adventure launch pad there.

I want to build some robots. How did you build yours? – Notta Bare
A fellow scientist? Greetings! Well, building the robots was an exciting scientific process. I started with some old robot models that had a few... bugs. Then, I drank several cups of coffee. After a night of frantic tinkering, I'd ironed out the most dangerous glitches. I programmed the robots to act like the original penguins. I've printed my schematics above in case you need any help with your own designs. Best of luck, fellow science adventurer!

Secrets Classified Garianna's Gold Puffle :)

By Gary the Gadget Guy - In 2013, we discovered a mysterious magic book. Turns out, it belonged to Garianna, an ancestor of mine who created potions of astounding potency! But, perhaps even more surprising, Garianna had discovered gold puffles long before us. It was a clue in her book that led us to find them in the Gold Mine. We don't know much about Garianna's gold puffle, not even a name. It must have gone along with her on her magical adventures, though. I hope to someday learn more about my ancestor and her pet!

The 10th Anniversary Party is here! Breakthrough in Penguin Robotics!

The 10th Anniversary Party is here!

Let the celebrations begin! By Aunt Arctic — I usually don't type in all-capitals, but I have to say: I AM SO EXCITED! I can't wait to literally walk through the history of Club Penguin. So many of my favorites are back, from the 2005 Christmas Party at the Rink to the Highway from the 2013 Summer Jam.

Nothing means more to me than the amazing times we've had together on the island. It's all thanks to the community that I've been able to make such lovely memories. If you're new to the island, this is going to be quite a sight! I recommend going to the Coffee Shop first. The yearbook is there, and you can browse through that to get a sense of all the excitement we've had over the years. And don't forget to pick up your exclusive 10th Anniversary Party Hat. It's delightfully extravagant! Now, once more, because I might not use my caps lock for another ten years: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 10 Years Anniversary Party CHEATS Club Penguin :)

Breakthrough in Penguin Robotics!

Domo arigato, Mr. Robot. By Gary — Astounding news, science fans! I have created several new robots to assist us with the Anniversary Party. They will provide historical facts on some of the anniversary rooms. There's nothing more fun than accurate facts!They're even programmed to have the same likes and dislikes as the originals, so you can discover Rockhopper's favorite party, or hear what Rookie loved about the Summer Jam. The truly fascinating thing about this invention? I was able to rush out models sooner than expected. That's right, these are the near-perfect version 2999!

Can you invent a robot puffle? – Orecollecter
Interesting question, Orecollecter. Coincidentally, I've already analyzed the possibility of a robot puffle! After creating robot penguins, I didn't think puffles would be very difficult. Well, it turns out they are. You see, puffles have a spark of curiosity. They're really quite special. I've yet to determine how a robot could simulate such curiosity. But perhaps observing my puffle Darwin will yield a breakthrough. There's only a .01% chance that this would turn out like Night of the Living Sled.

Secrets Classified Pufflescape Tips :)

Did you know that Pufflescape started out as a beta-game called Rollerscape? It's true! It's a great game for exercising your puffles, and has lots of Stamps to earn. It takes fast thinking and good timing though, so here are a few tips:
• Look for things to click with your mouse. You'll need to search for objects that can help your puffle explore the caves.
• EVERY Puffle O is possible to get. If you can see it, you can reach it. Don't give up!
• If all else fails, try going as fast as you can! You never know when you'll hit a secret jump and go flying in the right direction!

Famous Penguins Incoming :) Villainy at the isle of the lost?

Famous Penguins Incoming :)

Club Penguin is the hot place to be. By Aunt Arctic — Penguins everywhere are prepping for the 10th Anniversary celebrations. Reports say that Rockhopper has set sail for home. Meanwhile, Cadence has wrapped up a studio session and is ready to party.

"i cant wait 2 be back with my party penguins!!" texted Cadence to the Club Penguin Times.  "i can hear them dancin already!" Many more penguins have confirmed they'll be a part of the festivities. Sensei declared: "There is a time to meditate and there is a time to party. Now is the time to party!" Rookie also announced that he'll be joining the celebrations. In fact, he's been announcing it every day for the last three years. Are you hoping to meet some famous penguins at the festivities? I'd love to see drawings of you meeting your favorite!

Villainy at the isle of the lost?

Mischief is afoot. By Aunt Arctic — Trouble is lurking at the Isle of the Lost, and I have to wonder–is it really a surprise? The town of villains has shown concerning behavior lately. Dangerous spells are recklessly being cast every which way. The pranks have even spilled over to Auradon Prep. When touring the halls yesterday, I saw sleep spells being cast at teachers. Some penguins have called for calm. "Just because they're villains doesn't mean they have to be bad," said a student at Auradon Prep. "We can help them be good!" Only time will tell whether good or evil wins. Make your way to the Isle of the Lost to help out.

Auradon Prep Student Profile: Mal!

The School’s new enchantress. By Aunt Arctic — I hear some of our readers are new students at Auradon Prep. I recently sat down with charismatic student, Mal, to see what scholarly advice she has.

Aunt Arctic: What’s the biggest challenge that new students might have at Auradon Prep? Mal: Aside from the lack of villains? Probably all the rules. I’m in Remedial Goodness 101... that seems like a bit much. AA: Word is that some students have been throwing snowballs in class. How do you feel about this? Mal: It’s just how they express themselves. Not everyone’s like me. We all can’t have magical powers passed onto us by the world’s most feared villain. AA: Friendships are so important. I’ve heard a rumor that you and Prince Ben are close friends. Is this true? Mal: Hmm... no comment. AA: What’s something that everyone should bring with them on the first day of school? Mal: My first choice is a spell book or magic wand. It’s important to bring a little magic to class. Mal, thanks so much for talking to us! Good luck to all you students and teachers out there!

10th Anniversary Wishes :)

Reliving adventures... By Aunt Arctic — Club Penguin’s 10th Anniversary Party is coming Oct. 1-21! And while we couldn’t possibly back everything for the party, we’ve had some very fun requests so far! Here’s what some of my friends would like to see:
Captain Rockhopper – Y’arrr, I be wantin’ a pirate parade in the Forest of the 2010 Island Adventure Party. Or a pirate parade at the Cove. I’d even settle for a pirate parade in the Puffle Hotel if need be.
Sensei – A return to Card-Jitsu 2013 would bring me peace and serenity.
PH – Crikey! I’d love to spend some time at the 2009 Puffle Party. There were so many puffles playing at the Snow Forts!
Dot – Please bring back the 2014 Prehistoric Party! I’ve got some great caveguin fashion designs that would be great for it.

Fan Art by Wirbin1 :)

A sticky situation. By Aunt Arctic — This is a great drawing, it really makes me chuckle.Poor Rookie seems like he’s in quite a mess. It looks as if the orange puffle spit out his gum. Such poor manners, but I guess you can’t blame an orange puffle for being itself. Even PH has trouble with her orange puffle, Pete. They can be a real handful. Thanks for sharing this laugh with us, Wirbin1!

Secrets Classified Emotes :)

There are a bunch of hidden emotes on Club Penguin. To use them, first make sure your cursor is not in the chat bar. Type the letter E, then type the letter P – a puffle will appear in your speech bubble! You can try this trick with other letters and numbers too. Try E + M to put a coin in your speech bubble, or E + T to TOOT! Try a few different letter combinations and see what you find!

From the Isle of the Lost... By Aunt Arctic — A new school will be popping up next week, and it’s sure to come with magic and mischief. Auradon Prep and the Isle of the Lost will be yours to explore—but do so at your own risk! There’s no telling how out of control things will get.

The magic wand and spell book will surely be hot accessories this year. Hmm, do you think there’s a spell that will finish your homework for you? As the school year begins, I’d like to remind you to be kind to the teachers of Auradon Prep. It seems like they’re going to have their hands full with all the magical activity. Remember, spell books should be used with caution! And of course, it’s against the rules to turn the principal into a toad!

National Video Games Day!

Press B to Jump for Joy. By Gary — Greetings! I’ve hypothesized that many of you will be interested in National Video Games Day September 12. It seems like the perfect time for us to test our abilities at the Arcade above the Dance Club. The games there are Club Penguin classics! This may surprise some of you but I’m quite proficient at Astro Barrier. It’s all about gauging the momentum of numerous objects in order to predict when to fire your blasters. It’s easy as E=MC²! Yet for all my scientific intuition, I just can’t reach the final level. Surely it must be impossible. Or is it? You’ll have to let me know if you beat it. Perhaps your knowledge of pixels exceeds even my own!

Ask Aunt Arctic :)

Why does Rockhopper love stinky cheese so much? – Golden 83898
That’s a great question. Many penguins know of the captain’s fondness for stinky cheese, but I don’t think we’ve ever asked him why. Maybe he developed a taste for it because the cheese he sets sail with becomes stinky over time. Or maybe he likes it for being such an easy treasure to find–after all, you can smell it from a mile away! I can’t understand how anyone could love something that smells so bad. But I guess it’s like the old saying goes...“Love is in the nose of the beholder!”

Fan Art by Pin Guinchen :)

A fun self-portrait.  By Rookie — Wow, super cool picture, Pin! I think I’d like to try out a hairstyle like that. Except that would mean removing my hat......which would mean removing a LOT of super glue.

Secrets Classified EPF Spy Drills :)

By Jet Pack Guy - Only those with proper security clearance can see this message: Good day, Agents. Increased threats have been spotted on the island recently. Please ensure that you’re up to speed on EPF procedures.

• Chip Maze: There’s no timer, so take your time to plan your path and scope out threats.
• Rhythm Lock: Do you learn best through hearing or seeing, agent? If you can’t remember the rhythm, try to memorize the patterns.
• Challenge: A challenge is three spy drills in a row. It’s important to stay focused. Ensure that you have a few minutes where you’ll be uninterrupted.

Be remarkable, agents! The island is counting on us!
