Pin




 * Were you looking for the real life pins?

Pins are popular, collectible items in Club Penguin. Every two weeks, a new pin is hidden somewhere on Club Penguin Island, and once gone, old pins will never return. A player obtains a pin by walking towards it and clicking 'Yes' in the dialogue box that pops up. Then, the player can select a pin from their inventory and it will appear on the top left hand corner of their player card. To find a pin, many penguins ask, "Where is the pin?" in-game or "Where did you find that pin?" if he/she is using Ultimate Safe Chat. Some pins are themed for an event that is coming up or going on. In the Yearbooks in the Book Room, if you click in the right places, you will be able to view one pin that was hidden for that certain month (except for the 2006-2007 Yearbook). With the exception of the Disney Castle Pin, all pins are not unlockable. Penguins can now see your pin collection in your Stamp Book. Before the inventory change in CPIP, pins were not correctly ordered.

Tips

 * Here are some tips that were given by Screenhog- (Co-Creator of Club Penguin) in February 2008, on how to find pins.

1. They never hide pins in the Town, because it is the busiest room in Club Penguin.

2. They never hide pins in the same room two months in a row. Meaning, it will be at least another 2 months before they hide a pin in that room again.

3. They will never hide pins in the HQ (now the Command Room) because not all penguins are agents, and can't go in there.

4. They won't hide a pin on the Migrator.

5. They try not to hide pins in the same place twice.

Flags
See main article: Flag

Flags are very similar to pins in that they are displayed in the upper left corner of a penguin's player card. Originally, flags were only available to members on Club Penguin, however they were later released to be available to both non-members and members. Flag pins are bought at the very end of every Penguin Style catalog for 20 coins each. Flags and are slightly larger than most pins. Together with the Rockhopper's Key Pin and Moss Key Pin, they are the only pins that are permanent.

Trivia
