Mine Shack

The Mine Shack is an area that can be accessed from the Forest, the Map, the Spy Phone or by finishing a game of Cart Surfer. It was a secret room until 4 November, 2008 (due to a map update). It is simply an entrance to the Mine until the room was turned into a recycling center. The Mine Shack is part of the outskirts of commonly known as the Underground. Rory usually works on things here. You can also go to the Recycling Plant.

History
No one knows who built the Mine Shack. It was discovered in summer of 2006 after the opening of the Underground.

The story of the Mine Shack goes: Some explorers hopped on a mine cart and followed the track to see where it would lead. After a zigzagging ride, they ended up outside in a pile of snow near the mountains of Club Penguin Island. They looked back at their exit and thought it looked like a door frame. It was covered in a lot of snow. By the time they had finished digging, they had uncovered the Mine Shack. No one knows how long it was there, covered in piles of snow.It is probably very old, since it is dirty and poorly built.

On April 17, 2010, construction was began on the Mine Shack to make it look nicer and turn it into a recycling center. By the Earth Day 2010 party, the Recycling Plant was completed. This room houses Gary's newest invention, the Recycletron 3000. Penguins then gathered recyclable objects for the Recycletron 3000, which turned the items into Lamps, Anvils, Buoys, or Life Preservers.

Community Garden
In April 2010, a garden was added to the room. If you throw snowballs into the big watering can, a sprinkler will turn on and water the plants. They will then be harvested and stored in the shed. It has been proven that the tree to the left can grow.

The Sculpture
On June 15th 2010 the wheelbarrow that usually holds flowers was replaced by a sculpture of Herbert because it is a plug from Herberts Revenge so the island wouldn't flood again, but many EPF Agents who don't have the game think Herbert put it there. EPF Agents who DO have the game are scared because the tree is growing rapidly and the vines around it are growing rapidly too and they think it is because the water is coming up.

The Spinning Arrow Room
The Spinning Arrow is what the Mine Shack turned into on the 1st of April 2010. It was a representation of the loading screen in Club Penguin and it showed random messages like jokes and games. For example: "Welcome to the Spinning Arrow Room" was one of them, also "Let's play Hide and Seek" was other, although there was no place to hide. All you had to do to get into the Mine was to walk onto the spinning arrow.

Trivia

 * In Mission 9, the Mine is closed and you need to weld a mine cart and put a transmitter in it, then you will push it into the Mine.
 * In Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force, there is a Tool Shed behind it with mining equipment, pulleys, drilling uniforms, coal, etc.
 * When a friend is there, and you use the find friend icon, it says "Example123 is hiding." It's really not hidden anymore! However it now says "Example123 is at the Mine Shack."
 * A yeti possibly appeared here.
 * You could climb the poles until the updates in April 2010.
 * It is very unstable.
 * The Mine Tunnels seemed endless in the view of the Mine Shack.
 * The Forest is going to be connected to the Mine Shack after it has been upgraded to a recycling center, this has been confirmed in the The Club Penguin Times.
 * The spinning arrow room's favorite color is blue.
 * If you look at the Mine Shack entrance after the Earth Day updates, there seems to be a hidden room that's lit up.This might be the Tool Shed.
 * A corn field could be seen in the sneak peek for The Veggie Villain.
 * There are rumors that the cart can go anywhere in depths of the island.
 * Although The Veggie Villain came out after the Mine Shack was updated, the mission did not show the updated features of the Mine Shack (Recycling Plant, garden, etc.). This happened again when it is visited in Herbert's Revenge.

Parties

 * During the 2007 Halloween Party, the Mine Shack was replaced with a large, abandoned house.
