Coins make things happen in Club Penguin. They are earned when participating in games. You can use them to buy a variety of wacky costumes, wigs, outfits, accessories, furniture, and puffles. Puffles are these adorable puff ball creatures that you can have as pets. They’ve become a status symbol in Club Penguin since they cost a hefty 800 coins to purchase. Once adopted this furry friend follows you around. Each distinct breed has a different type of personality and demeanor. However, if you neglect proper care of your puffle it will run away.
Every location has restaurants, hip dance clubs, and gift shops where you can socialize with other fellow penguins through chat. Since the game is geared towards children the chats are all safe with human monitors making sure nothing inappropriate goes on.
The games are loads of fun and vary between single and multiple players. Penguins can get dirty with the pizza maker mini-game or go wild racing a sled downhill against other players. Some more advanced games include Astro Barrier, Puffle Round-Up, or Thin Ice.
