| :''Club Penguin also refers to the island in the game where all the areas and buildings are.''
| |
| | |
| '''Club Penguin''' is a MMOG for kids/teens developed by [[New Horizon Interactive]]. Using cartoon [[Penguins|penguin]] avatars, players can converse, play minigames, and participate in other activities with one another in a snow-covered virtual world. Club Penguin was first made available to the public on October 24, 2005, and has since expanded into a large online community.
| |
| | |
| Club Penguin shares similarities with other popular online environments like RuneScape. Though open to all kids, Club Penguin is primarily designed for children age eight to fourteen, and has been qualified for the Better Business Bureau - Kid’s Privacy Seal of Approval. Club Penguin was also awarded the "Editor's Choice" award from ''Children's Technology Review'' Magazine.

| | |
| A merchandise section, the [[Club Penguin Gift Shop]], opened on the Club Penguin website in August 2006, selling stuffed [[Puffle]]s and T-shirts. Keychains, gift cards, and more shirts were added on November 7, 2006.

| Though the game can be played for free, many of the features are not available unless a subscription is purchased.

| Several animals inhabit the island, the main of them being [[penguin]]s. Other animals are crabs, [[fluffy fish]] (which conform a large part of the feeding of the penguin population) and other kinds of fish (said to be the newly discovered gray fish), [[mullet]]s, worms, jellyfish, sharks, starfish (found at the [[Beach]]), shells (also found at the [[Beach]]) , a lone [[Polar Bear]], and [[Puffle|puffles]] (which have been domesticated and can be adopted as pets, though wild ones still remain in the wilderness and also a seal has been rumoured to be guard's helper at the iceberg in the telescope.
