 * Prehistoric Party- 7/10 -I liked the concept of travelling back in time, but I found not much to do. I liked turning into the dinosaurs.


 * Hollywood Party- 8/10 -I liked this party a lot, especially the Limo, but I found the way that a lot of the island was undecorated as a disappointment.


 * Red Nose Day- 4/10 -I was surprised this was even in Club Penguin. It was mainly a UK event and it was only in the Coffee Shop. I liked the idea of telling jokes though.


 * Puffle Party- 7.5/10 - I found this party very good with the opening of the puffle hotel and being able to adopt rainbow puffles.


 * Marvel Superhero Takeover- 6.5/10 - I was never a fan of Marvel, so it was never going to be one of my favourite parties. But I must say that the way you could destroy and fix civilian objects like cars was cool.


 * Card-Jitsu Party- 8/10 - I must say this was better than I thought it would be. The new Card-Jitsu Snow was cool and it awesome the way that the coffee shop and pizza parlour had their old designs during the party.


 * Monsters university- 6/10 - This party wasn't bad. While it could have been better the "scare games" weren't that bad. But there wasn't much to do. And only the central area of club penguin was decorated.


 * Star Wars takeover- 4/10 - I was never a fan of Star Wars. Needless to say I barely logged on during it. It was one of my worst parties of the year. Club Penguin wasn't even decorated, only the Dock with the Spaceship. I hope there won't be another one this year.


 * Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam- 7.5/10 - When I first heard that there would be a party combining the elements of a summer, water and music party I thought it would be awesome. but of course it was another takeover, this time one I wasn't expecting. It actually wasn't that bad. At least it was some sort of a water party. Overall not bad. But the Cove was renovated afterwards and it remained nearly the same as from this party.


 * Medieval Party- 5.5/10 - When I heard that the Medieval Party was returning I was happy. But it wasn't as good as previous ones. Many of the classic elements were lost. NONE of the Ye Knight's Quests returned. The potions while fun weren't as good as the quests. if there was both the quests and the potions it would be perfect.


 * Halloween Party- 7/10 - Normally a party I look forward to, I found this years edition slightly disappointing. There was no party rooms despite many in the past. A lot of the music changed (and I noticed a lot of locations e.g. Ski Lodge had no music of any kind). It could have been better.


 * 8th Anniversary Party- 9/10 - I thought the idea of a museum was excellent. And the old town background was good. The only flaw was rooms. The Book Room wasn't deorated. In fact the Coffee Shop was the only room decorated.


 * Operation: Puffle- 8.5/10- A party that I was looking forward to following 2012's Operation: Blackout, It actually wasn't bad. Saving the puffles was fun (and we got a golden one at the start of the month) and the biggest moment of all was stopping Herbert- puffle styled! I hope that this year they do something similar.


 * Holiday Party- 7.5/10- As a fan of trains I was happy to hear of their involvement in the party. And it wasn't too bad! We got to make lots of money for charity and have fun at the same time. At the same time I miss the cookies from 2012 and I would have liked them to return.

Overall 2013 was an "OK" type of year. While it definitely could've been better, it was not the worst ever. I give it an average mark of 6.2/10.

I found that almost all throughout the year that several rooms including the whole underground, Lodge Attic, Book room, Pet shop, Dance Club and Arcade were hardly decorated at all.

Also 2013 highly depended on sponsored parties especially during the summer (winter in Southern Hemisphere) with 4 in total. Finally in 2013 there was no April fools party, Easter egg hunt, earth day party, fair (but this is happening in February), Music Jam or Water party.

BUT 2013 introduced various things including the Puffle Hotel, Rainbow and Golden Puffles, puffle digging, the Club Penguin App, the #WaddleOn and The Spoiler Alert shows and various new parties, clothing, furniture, parties and mascots.

Lets hope 2014 will be better than 2013!
