Mediocre

By Ninja Penguins

We can't get a Ghost Puffle on the first day? That sucks. The free item calendar is back, and it's not good at all. The Puffle Hotel and new items are pretty cool, but it still sucks.

SUPER!!

By MondayOfCP

I loved this party! The History Is Soooo...COOL! (and scary :P)

Really good

By Szton

It's better than last year. Decorations are cool, estetic and pretty scary, music is climatic and the quest is amazing! It's really good. :)

That Time of Year Again

By Sharkbate

Ahh, the Halloween Party. This party has happened every year since the launch of Club Penguin, making it one of their oldest parties. The early Halloween parties (such as the 2006 and 2008 editions) were definitely my favourite. The Halloween parties over the last few years, however, have been somewhat lack luster and didn't live well up to their expectations. Because of this, my expectations were already fairly low for this party. But, they went back up after some sneak peaks of the decorated Hotel Lobby surfaced. So, what are my thoughts on the 2014 Halloween Party?

Decorations: 4/10

The classic Night of the Living Sled theatre at the Lighthouse, pumpkin-Ice Berg, and Slime Pool at the Cave both returned. Seeing as they are recycled, I had to deduct points. BUT, since they are good decorations, points were added. Many of the other rooms were also recycled, leaving Club Penguin's focus on the Puffle Hotel. The decor recycled from last year wasn't good. They are, like most modern parties, complete overhauls of the rooms that remove the original shape and design. The Forest, Cove, Snow Forts, and Stadium look nothing like what they should be. The same can not be said for the Puffle Hotel. The main/original rooms of the Puffle Hotel had actual decorations in them, such as spider webs. I love what they did with these rooms. It's also worth mentioning that they added the classic scarecrow to the Ski Hill's new design. I'm glad they did that. Of course, they neglected the interior rooms, such as the Night Club. Aaaaghhh...

Member/Non-Member Fairness: 9/10

Non-members are able to participate in the quest to finish the ghost catcher device inside the Puffle Hotel. What does disappoint me is that Club Penguin couldn't make the Ghost Puffle available to all players. With all these puffles that have become available, still only 2 can be purchased by non-members. Plus, the Ghost Puffles are a huge part of the party, and non-members can't do anything with them.

---

Music: 8/10

Oh yes! The music was on point this year! Classic tracks returned with some new ones that aren't that bad. However, I don't like the Operation: Blackout music in the Sitting Room of the Puffle Hotel. It just doesn't fit in my opinion. BUT, Club Penguin just had to add their little sound effects to drown out the music...

---

Originality: 7/10

It's nice to see Club Penguin attempt on adding some new twists to the Halloween Party. The ghost puffles weren't really expected, but Club Penguin didn't really do well on explaining how exactly they got into the Puffle Hotel, which was only built like a year ago.

---

Party Rooms: 4/10

What? Where did these random rooms come from in the hotel? They just came out of nowehere, and they'll be gone once the party ends. Some door to the basement just appeared out of nowhere, too. A lot of these rooms are pretty pointless for a hotel designed for puffles, too. The party rooms were well designed, however.

---

Games: N/A

No exclusive mini-games were present at this party.

---

Transformations: N/A

No transformations were present at this party.

---

Items: 10/10

There are plenty of items at this party, separated by a time limit. Some items include bat wings, a Ghost Puffle costume, a witch hat, and more. All items fit the theme of the party.

---

Mascots: 10/10

Club Penguin has introduced us to a new character: Skip. Skip is a bellhop at the Puffle Hotel who offers assistance when trying to find the pieces to the ghost catcher. In my opinion, this new character is perfect for what he does. I'm glad they didn't reuse a random mascot like Rookie to help you out. Gary the Gadget Guy is also at the party (as usual).

---

Comparing to Past Editions: 3/10

The party was a bit of a step up from the previous year's edition, but it doesn't match up to the editions before that. It was a good try, but not quite good enough.

---

Staff Hype/Sneak Peeks: 3/10

It was pretty obvious that this party would occur in October, but they still revealed it months and months prior. Before summer, I believe? Club Penguin's lack of security also failed them, when bloggers were able to leak information on mascots, mascot scripts, room backgrounds, and much more weeks before the party began.

---

Misc: 6/10

The emoticons are fitting for the party. The quest is interesting, but the time intervals between tasks are really, really annoying.

---

Sub-Score: 6.4/10

Final Score: 6/10 (3 Stars)

Better than last year

By Penstubal

It's way better than last year, and the entire island is decorated. Has lots of missions, and tons of new places to explore in Puffle Hotel. A downside is the stupid "wait 1 day to do it" thing.

Finally

By Chucker321

Love this year's Halloween party, and FINALLY MOST OF THE ROOMS ARE DECORATED LIKE C'MON I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Sure some of the rooms are recycled, but they are good rooms and bring back memories. Love the originality of the Haunted Puffle Hotel, and the Ghost Puffles. Sadly I lost my membership October 1st and cannot receive any of the Member items, but it is still a good party, therefore I am giving it a strong 4.5 :)

The best party of 2014

By JucaSLP

After a year composed of poor parties, 2014's edition of Halloween appears to be an exception. The great majority of the rooms are decorated, there are tons of free items and a entertaining quest. The only bad thing about the event is the time interval between the tasks. Waiting one more day to continue the quest is pretty annoying.
