Club Penguin Times Issue #434 - Order Arrives! Fairground Abuzz!

Check out this week's issue of the Club Penguin Times!

ORDER ARRIVES! FAIR GROUND ABUZZ!
Whatever is under wraps, it hasn't sunk yet.

By Aunt Arctic -- The island is a flurry of activity right now! Workers are building the Fair, all according to Rookie's directions...

I made my way through teh precarious piles of boxes to where Rookie was discussing a Fair attraction with the construction team. "It's gotta be like BOOSH!" he said, "and then over here it'll be like WEEEEEE BAM!"

I can't deny that Rookie has a lot of enthusiasm for the Fair, but I had some concerns about the scale of this project. Rookie told me, "Don't worry about the scales. The mermaid props are ready to go! The trick part is all the water."

Well, we've all got our eyes on the Fair, waiting to see what happens. Especially the cleanup crews--they are on high alert.

Rookie has asked me to remind everyone that the Fair is a "No Clown Zone."

NEWSFLASH
Wacky theme parties pop up all over island thanks to mermaid, cowboy, and pirate costumes!

YOUR OWN IGLOO BACKYARD!
Questions about backyards answered.

By PH -- Have ya checked out your backyard yet? Or maybe you're still not sure how best to use it? Here's all the info:
  • Go there by clicking on the gate icon in your igloo
  • Move puffles to and from your igloo by clicking on them, then hitting the arrow
  • It's a permanent new space for you and your puffles

#WaddleOn: Episode 24 - Behind-the-Scenes

Check out the latest episode of #WaddleOn:

Hilarious, as usual, but also informative! I like it.

Daffo's App Tips - Pufflescape

Here's a message from Daffodaily5:
Hiya guys!
One of my fave games to play on CP is Pufflescape, so it’s fab I can now play it on iPad!  I personally find it quite tricky at times so I always spend aaaages playing it.  I think I can say I’ve nearly mastered it! 
So here are my tips for you:
- Hold down the arrow keys to build up speed and momentum for your puffle
- Use the opposite arrow key as a brake or to slow you down
- Tap the keys lightly if you only need to move your puffle a little bit
- Click the symbol in the top left hand corner to show a diagram with directions
- If you can’t work out a solution, try swapping bits of scenery around – there might be another way!
- Don’t worry about making a mistake and restarting – your puffle is as patient as you are!
If you have any tips you’d like to share then please leave them in the comments below. Also, let me know if there’s any particular part of the Club Penguin app that you would like to see featured on App Tips next time!
Byeee!

Sounds fun! Pufflescape is a great game.

Club Penguin Blog: Safer Internet Day - Take the Pledge, Play the Game!

Here's a message from Daffodaily5:
Hiya!
It's been a great Safer Internet Day so far! We had an epic online party earlier to celebrate this important day! It was brill to see so many of you willing to raise awareness about using the internet safely and with respect. Which reminded me of our Online Safety Pledge! The pledge is a great way for you to make a promise that you'll work with Club Penguin to help make the internet an amazing place for everyone!
You can download the pledge by clicking here! Just print it out, fill in the blanks and share it with your parents and your pals! But don't forget, It Starts With You!
Also, the team has put together a mega printable board game for you to play with your friends and parents, to learn more about online safety whilst having loads-a fun! That's what we're all about, after all! Currrently this is only available to players in the UK, but hopefully we'll roll it out to the rest of you soon. You can download the game here!
Plus you can still take the safety quiz by clicking the clipboard icon at the top right of the screen when you're logged into CP. As I write this, 537667 people have passed it! WOWZERS! Don't forget, everyone that passes the quiz gets the awesome safety hoodie item! :)
Byeee!

Congratulations to all of the winners of the Safety Quiz!
