Club Penguin partners with GeoPalz

Recently KidsWire released an article talking about Club Penguin's new partnership with GeoPalz. Check it out.

GeoPalz, an interactive gaming and rewards platform for kids and families, has partnered with Disney’s Club Penguin to develop of a wearable Club Penguin iBitz activity tracker. 

Using the Club Penguin-branded iBitz pedometer, Club Penguin players will be able to convert their athletic activity into virtual coins and exclusive content within the Club Penguin world. The Club Penguin iBitz activity tracker will be available for purchase in fall 2013. 

“By connecting the GeoPalz Eco-System of activity driven games, rewards and prizes with one of the largest communities for kids, we hope to encourage millions more families to be active,” said Rich Schmelzer, CEO of GeoPalz. “It has been inspiring to work with Nike and Disney the past few months to bring together fitness activities that kids will love.” 

Vice President and General Manager of Disney Interactive Worlds, Chris Heatherly, added, “By rewarding kids for being active in the real world, we are encouraging a healthy balance between screen time and active time. He continued, “When kids see their friends with exclusive rewards they can only get for being active, we hope it will inspire them to get active too.” 

To develop this new product, GeoPalz has been a part of the Nike+ Accelerator Program for the past 90 days to develop broader techniques to convert athletic activity into digital coins that unlock games, content, and rewards.

As for me, I hope I can get one of these. These sound really fun, and you know how I am for exclusive items. ;) I'm excited!

Thanks Airplane6068 and Ronang1

Take a peek at today's Penguin Poll!

Puffles are digging up coins all over the island! Where's your favorite place to walk your pet?

• Pet Shop. For supplies!
• Coffee Shop. To grab a snack!
• Puffle Hotel. For pampering!
• Forest. It's like the Wilds!

I choose the Forest. I like to dig up coins with my Puffles there. :)

Here's the stats as they are now.

Woddylan's Club Penguin Stories: The Last Survivor

Introduction

Some of you may have known this, but I enjoy writing long Club Penguin related stories. They are so long, that usually I put them into parts! This is going to be a short story, though. This is called, "The Last Survivor". This story is under the category "Drama" and "Action".

    It was Club Penguin's 9085th anniversary. Though there was no celebration. All the penguins were experiencing dark times. Herbert had become way overpowered with his minions and bots, more than half the EPF had been lost in the oceans. Herbert had blown up Swashbuckler Trading Post, Dinosaur Island, and Shipwreck Island. and he made the Iceberg his base. He was SUPER over-powered. He even stole one of Gary's machines that could control the weather. He knew that all the penguins were on Club Penguin Island, though, because Rockhopper had been lost at sea, and so the penguins had no way of getting transported there. One day Gary had his weather tracker on, and suddenly the lights went off. There was a screen in the air in front of everybody (including Gary) in which there was a picture of Herbert. He said the words, "YOU PENGUINS HAVE DEFEATED ME COUNTLESS TIMES. MY PLANS HAVE FAILED. BUT NOW, I WILL RULE CLUB PENGUIN FOREVER!!!". Then, suddenly, the screen disappeared and the power came back on. The weather tracker had sensed a huge tornado coming. So Gary sent out one of his top assistants, Woddylan, to go lead everybody underground, where safety would lie.

Everybody had noticed before they got underground that there were high indestructible walls surrounding them, so they couldn't swim away. Some people went underground, but some wouldn't listen. They finally got underground. Suddenly the boiler leaked, and it started to flood the underground. And the ceiling was cracking. Hundreds of penguins drowned. So the survivors quickly ran to the mines. Herbert and his minions, though, were trying to chase the survivors, but they drowned, also. The ground fell into the underground at that moment, and everybody got squished except Woddylan. Many people also got sucked in to the tornado.

Woddylan knew that this was the end. He got sucked into the tornado, too, but he was powerful enough to make his way out. Then the tornado went away, and the weather was fine. The only igloo or building that was still standing was Woddylan's cottage. That was because it was on it's own little island near the Iceberg. It turns out those walls around Club Penguin weren't actually indestructible, they just looked like it. It was just wrapping paper being held up by weak stands. Woddylan got his compass out, and he went towards his cottage. He kicked the wall down, and his boat was destroyed, so he just swam to the cottage. Woddylan, now that he had thought about it, realized that he was the last living penguin. He said the words,

But about 5 minutes after he said that, he heard somebody or something kicking his door down...

Spike teases Club Penguin YouTube show

A few minutes ago Spike Hike tweeted talking about a new YouTube show. Check it out.

We're going to start working on a new experimental YouTube show this week called "Waddle On!" Any ideas for what you would like to see?
— Spike Hike (@SpikeHikeCP) June 23, 2013

I would love to see a Club Penguin YouTube show. That would be awesome. :) I would like to see some interviews with some Club Penguin employees, maybe some sneak peeks, some penguin animation... I don't now. This has so much potential.

Spike Hike sneaks some random bits of info

Last night on his Twitter Spike Hike was tweeting some random stuff, having no real rhyme or reason. Check them out:

Was at the shoot for our August party Game On spot with host @Hallie4GO. I can say no more. Waddle on.
— Spike Hike (@SpikeHikeCP) June 23, 2013

So this tweet tells us that they've already got August's party planned. It's likely another advertisement party, so for those who get greatly affected by that, be ready. ;) I'm thinking it will have something to do with Ross Lynch, possibly Austin and Ally, judging from this picture from @Hallie4GO.

The next one concerns this year's Medieval Party.

Someone just said the blog confirmed the Medieval Party wasn't coming this year. No it didn't. ;-)
— Spike Hike (@SpikeHikeCP) June 23, 2013

 Is this a hint meaning that there's going to be a Medieval Party later this year? It'll be awful late. >.<

One more. He also said that Spike Saturday was being moved to Spike Sunday. Normal stuff, you know.

Thanks Trainman1405
