Penguin Games



The Penguin Games is a special event in Club Penguin. The news was released in The Club Penguin Times. It was modeled after the Olympics with Rory and Rookie as commentators. The party lasted from August 22nd to about 12:00 PM PST August 27th. It is similar to 2006's Sports Day Party. The Soccer Pitch was said to be a temporary Member's only replacment for the Ice Rink, however it remained for both Members and Non-Members until the Ice Rink was finally brought back during the Christmas Party 2008.

Prizes and Awards
There were three free items:
 * Blue Face Paint (At the Pizza Parlor)
 * Red Face Paint (At the Coffee Shop)
 * Gold Medal (It's only available after completing the three competitions)

The medal was won by completing all the events, similar to the Fall Fair. There were 3 events: Marathon (Start from the Ski Village and the end is at the Cove), Three Lap Race at the Iceberg, and the Swimming Event at the Underground Pool. Members gained access to the Soccer Pitch as stated in Issue #149 of the Penguin Times. Rookie also stated that G had a surprise waiting for the Marathon runners.

Other sports that did not count for the medal included Members-only soccer at the Soccer Pitch (also known as The Party), Ice Hockey at the Ice Rink, Sled Racing, Mancala, and Find Four tournaments.

Another interesting note is that each color team had a central building or area, with Red's being the Town (Mainly the Coffee Shop and Book Room) and the Blue Team at the Plaza (Mainly the Pizza Parlor).

Trivia

 * The Dock sold ground coffee for two coins a cup at a Coffee stand. This was a joke referring to the comic with Ground Coffee.


 * Rory confirmed in the Penguin Times that you'd have to sweat for the prizes and there won't just be boxes of items before the party started.


 * Many penguins thought the Penguin Games would be like the Fall Fair.


 * The Mountain had a giant bonfire, similar to the Olympic Torch.


 * Oddly, the Night Club was not decorated.


 * The 2006 Sports Party had no music but the Penguin Games had.


 * The Ski Lodge technically counts as both team Blue and Red's headquarters, because there are two couches with the sign "Blue's headquarters" and "Red's headquarters".


 * Many rude Penguins blocked the gates for the Marathon.
