| The '''Tour Guide''' project began January 26, 2007 with the intent of helping
| |
| newcomers find their way around [[Club Penguin]]. To become a tour guide, a penguin must first be at least 45 days old and have had no more than one ban (or sufficiently good behavior after more bans). Being a member is not required.
| |
|
| |
| To apply, one goes to the Tour Booth in the [[Ski Village]] and takes a quiz. The eight-question quiz tests one's knowledge such as to where things are located, puffle facts, game play, and so forth. Answering seven out of the eight questions correctly wins a Tour Guide hat, which can be found in one's clothing inventory. Only those who have passed the test and have the hat are official tour guides.
| |
|
| |
| When a penguin wears only the Tour Guide hat and waves, a "Tours Here" sign appears. Another option while wearing the hat (with or without other items) is giving pre-written messages about the current room. To do this, one clicks the Messages icon, selects Activities, then clicks "Give a Tour". Messages about the room will then appear. Even the HQ has these pre-written messages, even though only penguins that are 30 days and older and that have not been banned twice may access the HQ, and the purpose of a tour guide is to help new penguins around.
| |
|
| |
| If your penguin is a tour guide and then banned afterwards, you will lose your tour guide privileges. You can retake the tour guide test if you want to.

| ==Tour Guide Tips==
| |
| These tips came from the [[Penguin Times]] newspaper.
| |
| *Stop your tour group from getting lost by sending them a [[post card]]. It's an easy way to invite penguins to rooms you want them to visit, without them going missing on the way there.
| |
| *Try having a tour planned out ahead of time, so you know where you're going next!
| |
| *Make sure not to move too quickly for your tour group. Give them a chance to see everything and then follow you to the next room.
| |
| *The sign is your friend! Use your tour guide sign to show other penguins you're ready to show them around.
| |
| *Use phrases from the tour guide chat menu to help you describe a room. Just click the 'Message' button on the chat bar, highlight 'Activities', and press 'Give a tour'.
| |
| *Giving a tour is a great way to make penguins feel welcome. Why not offer to be your tour team's Club Penguin guru. Add them to your buddy list - so whenever they have a question, they can come to you!
| |
| *Why not plan your tour around a theme? You could take your group on a mystery tour of areas of Club Penguin they might not know about - like the [[Underground]] or the [[Dojo]]. You could teach them some cool facts about Club Penguin's history too!
| |
| *Showing your tour group an activity they can join in with is a great way to end a tour. Why not start a play, a band rehearsal or even a party?
| |
| *Make sure you stand out from the crowd. Sure - you're wearing the tour guide hat. But what about the rest of you? Why not offer some fashion advice and help new penguins pick cool clothes?
| |
|
| |
| ==Other Info==
| |
| *Once you have become a tour guide, clicking on the Tour Booth at [[Ski Village]] will show a [[How to be a Great Tour Guide|book]] full of handy tips on how to be a great tour guide.
| |
| *The [[Penguin Times]] newspaper usually has an "In Focus" section that tells about places and gives good tips on being a great tour guide. A tour guide leads it and supposedly helped Aunt Arctic write it.
