SCHOOL :D :D :D

By Brookelas

Here in British Columbia, Canada... school hasn't started yet because of a School Strike. We have been off since June 12th, and schools are reopening their doors on MONDAY! However, more than 3 months is WAY too long for me to be away from school, so when this party was announced, I WAS BEYOND EXCITED! Did the party live up to my hype though?

• Decorations - 4/5 - The decorations capture the school life perfectly!! Not too many rooms are decorated, but the ones that are are probably the best this year. I would have suggested maybe a few more rooms... Stadium could have been a football field? Snow Forts could have been like a playground? They could have added in just a regular classroom party room? But they did to great with what they had, so I am only docing one point off.
• Storyline - 5/5 - Sharks won! Coins for Change Like charity! September = school... no story needed really.
• Party Rooms - 5/5 - YES! YES! YES! The gym and art/science room are FANTASTIC! They are exactly how the party rooms should be! They aren't random/useless either. And technically the Skateboard Park shouldn't count here, but its worth mentioning that it is also AMAZINGLY DESIGNED!
• Transformations and Party Games - X/5 - There are no party games/transformations, so no score here :P
• Music - 5/5 - Obsessed with the Start Fresh Elevator Edition... nuff said.
• Free Items and Catalogs - 5/5 - Obsessed with the slushie hat... nuff said.
• Quest - 5/5 - This is actually amazing! They took the EPIC Frozen Party Quest, and made it harder. I LOVE IT CP! LOVE IT!
• Other (More Minor) Details - 5/5 - SNOWBALLS IN THE GYM, ART/SCIENCE ROOM, AND STAGE ARE ALL EPIC!! :P And there are emotes which relate as well as other things.
• Party Hype - 5/5 - Not overhyped at all, and it was a great party!
• Non Member Fairness - 4/5 - I think Non Members were a little spoiled here with a new igloo. Yes, this happened for Frozen.

Um... 49/50...! 5/5 :D

Meh

By MondayOfCP

I like the skate park, and the shopping,and the rest of the rooms.But I feel in another music jam, Other Rooms Decorated Was Good.

So this is what parties are bound to be now?

So, this party is in it's first day and it is already completed. I am writing this in September 18th, right after getting all the items. I already know that this is it, and so I am writing my review. Let's start, this review will be separed under 3 aspects: rooms, content and items.

• Rooms: And they did it again didn't they? Once again only a portion of the island is decorated, this time being the east side of Club Penguin, more specifically The Plaza (Stage and Pizza Parlor and their insides), Forest, Mine Shack, CPU and the new room, the Skate Park. The decorations, are very well done, the new design of CPU, and the additions of new rooms made it feel like a real school and I hope it is permanent, the new Pizza Parlor is also amazing, it could be permanent too, and the Mall is also equally amazing, though they could use more floors like the Puffle Hotel or something like it.. But here's the thing I found strange. I like the Mall more than the Stage. Yep, to me it would make no difference, as I rarely visit the Stage even more now that I got all of it's costumes. It would surely tip a lot of players off, but for me it would be a nice replacement, or the Stage could even get INSIDE the Mall, like a Cinema. The Skate Park is nicely done, with the graffiti of puffles, and the animations of skateboarding BUT it's pretty boring for a high point of the party.

• Content: Aah, content. The thing Club Penguin doesn't remember to put in a party. This party's mission is basically a copy/paste of the previous party, the Frozen Party. Get a backpack, get three things in a bunch of rooms, get items, get final igloo, and then what? Guess you close the tab once again and just wait for the Halloween Party to come so you can probably do the same thing again. And the thing is not even hard, it takes you less than two minutes so you can find all the stuff. Agh. Oh, and this party is also a donator for poor countries. But you CAN'T actually donate, soo... Also, why is everything Sharks related? I know they won the Penguin Cup, but I think we needed more teams in the School to create competivity so more could be added to the party

• Items: The items are pretty well themed, but not that special, not even worth talking about it. The skates are cool and well designed, and one of them, the Rainbow Board, is a real board you can get at Zazzle so kudos to that. The final item that simbolizes you completed the mission to help the children in some countries to have schools, is an igloo, that looks to me is a remake from another one. The Schoolhouse Igloo looks pretty similar to the Train Station Igloo we had last year, but I could be wrong. Anyway, the igloo looks pretty cool, and if you want to build a little school it's perfect.

• Veredict: A boring, content-lacking party, that is really out of place, considering that many players don't even like school. Oh, wait, is Rookie in this party? Guess I didn't see that coming.

Well then...

By Sharkbate

We knew very little going into this party, but people rightfully had low expectations. I mean, even the title "School & Skate Party" is a turn-off. What did I think of the party? Let's get into the details. Note: All scores are rounded DOWN.

---

Decorations: 2/10

There were about 6 rooms decorated... less than half the island. Pretty much the Plaza and anything to the right of it... except the Iceberg, Cove, and of course, the underground rooms. But visually, how were they? Well... first, how and why is the Stage suddenly a mall? I get the "school shopping" thing, but you can't do anything in that room but ride up and down an escalator. Nothing to buy and no other "stores". Would have made more sense to make the Clothes Shop the mall instead. The rest are OK, but why did Club Penguin put grass in the Forest? It's Club Penguin Island! There isn't supposed to be grass there! The Pizza Parlor is okay. Overall, the decor for this party wasn't that great.

---

Member/Non-Member Fairness: 6/10

Members have access to 20 exclusive items for this party, while non-members have access to 8. Yikes... Members get 12 more items than non-members... that's more than double the amount non-members get! That's way too much. The upside is that non-members get another free igloo to add to their collection. They can take part in the scavenger hunt as well and do the main things of the party (not counting the Skate Park because it's now a permanent room).

---

Music: 3/10

Most of the music is recycled from previous parties, such as the Monsters University Takeover. The songs that were new, however, were not that good. I don't know... this music just isn't Club Penguin. It sounds way too generic and modern. Oh, and this is something I say at almost every party they have now... Stop with the sounds in the music!

---

Originality: 9/10

The party is definitely original. Having a school party in September seems pretty predictable, but it's something Club Penguin has never done before. Plus, I'm sure nobody expected it to involve skateboarding, right?

---

Party Rooms: 9/10

This party had 2 party rooms, which is just the right amount. They were the gymnasium and the classroom, which obviously fit in with the "school" theme. They are well done in my opinion and not overly complicated, but the classroom seems a little clustered to me.

---

Games: N/A

No exclusive mini-games were present at this party.

---

Transformations: N/A

No transformation options were present at this party.

---

Items: 9/10

Most of the items make sense with the "school" theme, except for the Brain Freeze hat. Has nothing to do with school, or skating.

---

Mascots: 2/10

Rookie is the mascot for this party. Yeah. That makes sense. So much sense. Aunt Arctic would have been a much better fit for this party. Rookie is too goofy and irresponsible to be celebrating going back to school.

---

Comparing to Past Editions: N/A

There were no previous editions of the School & Skate Party.

---

Staff Hype/Sneak Peeks: 8/10

The party was announced a little early (due to Club Penguin's lack of security) before being officially confirmed on August 29, 2014. There weren't many sneak peeks published and the team didn't spoil much (then again, there's not much to spoil with this party). There was really only one room sneak peak released, and it was just a sketch of the Stage decor.

---

Misc: 5/10

I like that Club Penguin let you throw dodgeballs instead of snowballs in the gym. The scavenger hunt is okay, but way too easy. Plus, we just did a scavenger hunt during the Frozen Party. Wait... wasn't this supposed to be intertwined with some charity? Like Coins for Change? What happened to that? I see nothing in the game that involves donations, charities... or anything like that at all.

---

Sub-Score: 5.88/10

Final Score: 5/10 (2.5 Stars)

School's In! Time for Learnin'!

Not much to say. It's school and such. Love it! :P ;)

By Starfire 777

There's nothing very special about this party. They're fair to the members and non-members, and I absolutely love how the Forest and School are decorated. But as usual, only part of the island is decorated. The Skate Park gets boring after two minutes, although it's nicely designed and that's a plus. That aside, I really like how we're finally able to use skateboards. --Starfire 777 (talk) 17:24, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Starfire 777
