Backgrounds

Backgrounds are images designed to decorate one's Player card. They are located behind your penguin. They were first on sale on May 30, 2006. They are currently available to all players. Backgrounds can be bought in Penguin Style, Costume Trunk, and Snow and Sport Catalogs for 60 coins each. In every new sport, costume and clothing catalog, Club Penguin either releases a new background or brings back an old one.

If you meet Rockhopper, the Penguin Band, Gary or Cadence, they will give you a signed background when you click on a special button on their player card. Also, players can obtain backgrounds by completing Scavenger Hunts such as The Band's Instrument Hunt, Light Bulb Hunt, Easter Scavenger Hunts and Halloween Candy Hunts.

Backgrounds could be bought in the Costume Trunk in The Stage ever since the encore of the Space Adventure play.



Trivia

 * The rarest backgrounds are Rockhopper's, Gary's, The Penguin Band's, and Cadence's.

 * It is possible to see all backgrounds that Club Penguin has ever released by going to this SWF and changing the number at the end to between 901 and 999, and between 9000 and 9018
