Backgrounds

Backgrounds are special images designed to decorate one's player card. They are located behind your penguin. They were first available on May 30, 2006. They are always 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, Cadence or Aunt Arctic, they will give you a signed background when you click on a special button on their player card. It was planned for Box Creator to give out a backgrounds but there was a glicth where you could become a buddy of him. The glitch is now almost fixed. 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 at The Stage ever since the encore of the Space Adventure play.

When Rockhopper is in Disney World, a code is given and you can get an Exclusive Background.
