Club Penguin Island
Party Supplies are consumable items that can be bought at shops by members, and can be used, each with varying effects. Club Penguin Island contains a variety of games, eight of which are available for all players. Party Supplies include items such as fireworks, edible items, and party games. Both members and non-members are able to purchase and use the party games Marble Hunt, Ink or Swim, and Fossil Four. Most of these games reward the players with coins and XP upon completion. There are also games that are built-in to the Club Penguin Island zones.
Gear that is obtained through leveling-up or adventures is portable and can be used anywhere on the island. Some events came with quests that all players were able to participate in. Non-members can only use the jackhammer gear. One example of this was the Halloween party. Several events were held on Club Penguin Island. In most cases, one or more free items were made available for everyone to obtain. Like its predecessor, the game also hosted some sponsored events. There is also gear that can be found in certain locations and can be used even if the player has yet to obtain it.
The gameplay is similar to that of the original Club Penguin, though it runs on the game engine Unity rather than Adobe Flash Player. On November 5, 2018, the final update, version 1.13.0, was released, which included an offline mode, effectively making the game still available as a single-player experience. At 10:00 AM PST on December 20, 2018, Club Penguin Island had shut down their servers. The 1.8 updates, released on November 30, 2017, received positive reviews for adding fan-requested features and launching a PC and Mac version of the game. All users that were playing Club Penguin Island at the time received an error message telling them that the connection was lost.
Each player has a penguin level that is a measurement of their progress. Progress increases as the player completes Adventures and Daily Challenges. Every time a player reaches a new level, they receive a reward in the form of a pack, containing various items, such as emojis or blueprints. The Clothing Customizer, referred to as The Designer in loading screens, is a feature in Club Penguin Island that players can use to create clothing, utilizing blueprints as bases, and optionally, fabrics and/or decals as well for design. All rewards apart from emojis in these packs require membership to use.
After the 1.10.1 update, non-members who signed up during the pre-registration period are now able to wear the beta hat, and if they connected their Club Penguin usernames for use in Club Penguin Island, their alumni jacket too. Offline Mode was added to Club Penguin Island in the game’s final update, and it was activated on December 21, 2018. It allowed players to log in to a limited version of the game, which stored their penguins on their devices. All players automatically received a free, unlimited membership on November 5, 2018, which would carry over to Offline Mode.
