[edit] Gameplay
Playing games rewards players coins. Coins can be used to buy certain special items for non-members, such as different colors for your penguin and blue puffles, and members can buy any item. Usually once a month the staff hold parties celebrating a holiday or special event. Often they give away free clothing at these events. If you do become a member you can spend your coins on furniture for your igloo, clothing, pets and acessories. These items can be found in catalogues which displays the items for sale. Players can read the latest news in the newspaper that comes out every Tursday. The newspaper contains information on events, places and the game in general. It also displays riddles, jokes, poetry, secrets, and comics submitted by other players.

There are blue puffles, pink puffles, black puffles, purple puffles, and green puffles. Each puffle can play with its different toys. All puffles cost 800 coins.

There are also secret areas on Club Penguin that are not accessible by walking around the island. These areas are only accesible by clicking on certain areas on the map. These are:
The Dojo - A secret area where players like to talk. To get to the dojo, click on the small mountain range in the backround of the map that has snow-caps. The rest of the mountains are covered in snow but you already knew that didn't you?. The Ice Berg - A secret area where players talk and sit by the ocean. To get there, click on the small ice berg off the coast of the island on the map.
Secret Agent Headquarters - An area for Secret Agent Penguins, who talk about how to report people for breaking the rules. This area is only accessible from a Spy Phone, you get this from passing a test from here you can access every room, or by the sport shop last stall.
Secret Agents - Secret Agent Penguins are somewhat like moderators, but they help find people who are breaking the Club Penguin rules. To become an Agent, players must be at least 30 days old (on Club Penguin) and fill out a survey by clicking on the 'M' badge in the top right corner, then by pressing it again in the smaller window. If you answer the questions right, you are accepted. Penguins who are, get a Spy phone, which can teleport them to the Secret Agent HQ. Only Secret Agent Penguins can go in there. Secret Agents are not just for fun, though; they have to keep Club Penguin safe and set or a good example, or they might be kicked out of HQ.
Pirate Ship - The Pirate Ship comes once every two months for several days at a time. It is brought by a pirate named Rockhopper, who travels the world. Everytime the ship comes, there is a free item that any penguin can get, including non-members. The Pirate Ship can be reached by going to the beach.
