Club Penguin Wiki:Basic Club Penguin Tutorial

Welcome the Club Penguin Wiki's Club Penguin tutorial.

Creating your Account and Activation

Naming

In order to play Club Penguin, you'll need to create a penguin account. Go to this website and click "Create a Penguin". Name your penguin whatever you wish, however, inappropriate names will either be:

• Renamed to P<<numbers>>
• An error that says "That penguin name is not allowed." will appear.

Colours

When you make a penguin, it has to be a certain color. You'll be able to choose these colors:

Blue	Green	Pink	Black	Yellow
Purple	Brown	Peach	Red	Orange
Dark Green	Light Blue	Lime Green	Aqua	Arctic White

If you do not like your penguin color, or if you want another, you can always buy new colors from the Penguin Style catalog in the Gift Shop for only 20 coins, even if you're a non-member.

E-Mail settings and password

You'll have to then make up a password for your account. Try to make it hard to guess in case someone wants to hack you. An effective one would be to have both both letters and numbers. A very strong password would include both capital letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (Ex: !, @, #, $). You will then need to put in your email.

Example

• Password: Password123
• E-Mail: [email protected]

Account activation

After the account creation, you will need to go to your email inbox and click on the link that came with it. This will activate your account for playing. If you cannot click on the link, then copy it (highlight the link with your cursor, right click, and click Copy), and then paste it into the address bar (right click on address bar, then click Paste). Then press enter, and it will activate it.

Starting the game

Log into your penguin, which will appear in the middle of the screen. You will then find yourself in the game! Don't worry about getting lost, as you can't ever be lost in Club Penguin Island, since you can always use your Map, on the bottom left hand corner, to instantly take you somewhere else. First, try going into some buildings. Have a look around, go upstairs and check out a few things. Once you've done that, go out of the Town and explore. If you think you've had enough, ask people to help you by starting the game. You can always ask an experienced penguin to tour you around! This will help you a lot, and Club Penguin has a special touring feature too.

Inventory

You will start with a hat and a backround in your Inventory.

Playing minigames

When you explore, you will often find yourself near a minigame - or another penguin asking you for a minigame. If you want to know more about this, click here. Play these games and you'll earn coins. Coins can help you buy clothes, furniture, or other objects for your penguin.

Puffles

Once you have gotten yourself started, there are many other things you can do with your penguins. Once you get to the Pet Shop in the beginning of the game, you can buy Puffles. Puffles are small creatures that come in several different colors, each having a different personality. However, unless you are currently a member, you are only allowed to have a blue Puffle or a red Puffle. Besides this blockage of Puffles, there are, in total, 12 Puffles that a member could own. Now, if you want to max out the number of Puffles, you would need some repeats. The reason is because a member could have 21 Puffles. You have to feed, bathe, and let them sleep every day or they will run away. See this article for more information.

Membership

The paid content of Club Penguin is known as "membership". Penguins that have paid for membership are called members. You can become a member by going to the 'Membership' section of the website or the 'Membership' link above when you're playing and then choosing your membership plan. Members have access to some extra features in Club Penguin. See this article for more information.
