Monsters University Takeover

The Monsters University Takeover was a party in Club Penguin, which started on June 27, 2013 and ended on July 11, 2013. The party was based on the Disney Pixar movie, Monsters University.

Press Release
Members can prepare to scare by dressing up as their favorite characters from Disney•Pixar’s summer release of “Monsters University.”

Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, June 27 – Disney’s Club Penguin, the #1 virtual world for kids, is partnering for the first time with Disney•Pixar to throw the Disney•Pixar “Monsters University” Takeover event. Starting today players can enroll in Monsters University on Club Penguin Island and pledge three different rival fraternities and one sorority to compete in the Scare Games.

While competing in the Scare Games by earning scare points for their fraternity or sorority, members will be able to dress up as their favorite characters from the Disney•Pixar film “Monsters University,” like Mike and Sulley. In their monstrous disguises, members can test out their roar and creep around campus to earn their own scare points. On July 6, the winning fraternity or sorority will be announced, and all players can collect the Scare Games Trophy. Additionally, the Monsters University amphitheater will be decorated in the winning team’s colors.

During the Disney•Pixar “Monsters University” Takeover event on Club Penguin Island:


 * Everyone can fill up their scare canister with scare points in an all-new mini-game where players practice their best scare tactics


 * All players can collect fraternity and sorority hats to show their pride when they join a team and can also earn monster accessories for their epic roars. Members will receive the hats and accessories, plus the ability to purchase exclusive “Monsters University” costumes with their virtual coins


 * New igloo items are available for members to buy in the Furniture Catalog. Some featured items include the Scoreboard, Scare Canister, Ping-Pong Table, Lounge Chair, Archway and more

Players can scare now at ClubPenguin.com.

Trivia

 * In March 2013, Spike Hike visited Pixar Animation Studios to work with the creative team at Pixar on the party. This was discovered via Twitter.
 * When someone called Spike Hike Spike Mike on Twitter, Spike said that he is "totally going to dress up as this character now", confirming that we would be able to dress as Mike Wazowski and other Monsters, such as James P. Sullivan. This was also proven in a leaked image showing several costumes releasing at the party, and on the homepage, login and logoff screens.
 * It is the second sponsored party in 2013, and the fifth sponsored party overall. It is also the second party to have the word takeover in its name, the first being the Marvel Super Hero Takeover. This is the first party ever for Club Penguin doing a party with Pixar related. Other parties have been either Marvel or Disney Channel.
 * Players were able to compete in the Scare Games by choosing one of the four frats.
 * It was confirmed that there would be no mascots for the party. This makes it the first party to not have a mascot since the Great Snow Race in 2011, which is almost 2 years.
 * Different moderators joined different fraternities and sororities. A list of known moderators in fraternities include:
 * Polo Field, Tato Maxx, Federflink1 and Gajotz in Oozma Kappa (OK)
 * Daffodaily5, Happy77 and Chattabox in Python Nu Kappa (PNK)
 * Ninja and Loustik005 in Roar Omega Roar (RΩR)
 * Spike Hike and Businesmoose in Jaws Theta Chi (JΘX)
 * The entire island was Monstropolis, and the university campus was accessible from the Snow Forts.
 * If you went to the Pizza Parlor and stand in the karaoke stage, it would play an instrumental melody of The Party Starts Now (Song).
 * In the Scare Games, there was only one event to play, the Scare Challenge. In the Monsters University film, there were 5 games.
 * This is the first party to have more than 4 new party emotes.
 * In the actual movie, there are 6 teams in the Scare Games, HSS and EEK are the two that did not appear on the island.
 * It was nominated as Best Party of 2013 in The Spoiler Alert. It didn't win however.

Glitches

 * If you used any of the new emoticons, your penguin would have got banned for 72 hours under the reason of "Attempted Game Manipulation". This was quickly fixed, but many players were banned as a result of it.
 * When Club Penguin first updated, several of the new party rooms had Operation: Blackout music playing in the background.
 * When you finish competing in the Scare Games, you sometimes end up in the upper corner of the screen and you have to log-off in order to fix it.
 * Sometimes the Map and Chat Bar would not appear on the screen.
 * When sitting on the OK House couch, you sometimes get stuck if you get scared by another penguin.
 * You will sometimes become frozen when you enter a party room.
 * If you are scared while walking, your penguin will stay in the position you were originally scared, yet your name will wander away in the direction you are walking too. After being scared, the sprite will jump to the place where your name is.
 * When wearing the Art Costume, you can not scare.
 * If you login into the Amphitheater, the Scare Games Trophy and the newly decorated room would not appear. You have to waddle out the room and come back to fix this glitch.

Oozma Kappa
A collection of wholesome, good-natured misfits, the adorable brothers of Oozma Kappa (OK) have bonded over their inability to make it through the Scaring Program. With only four bodies in the house, they don’t even have enough members to compete in the Scare Games. What they lack in Scariness and self-confidence however, they make up for in heart.

Members

 * Mike Wazowski
 * James P. Sullivan
 * Scott "Squishy" Squibbles
 * Art
 * Don Carlton
 * Terri and Terry Perry
 * Polo Field
 * Federflink1
 * Tato Maxx
 * Gajotz

Jaws Theta Chi
Big on brawn but short on brainpower, the Jaws Theta Chi (JΘX) fraternity brothers are rarely seen without their flashy letterman jackets. The JΘX are brutal competitors who never hesitate to do whatever it takes to beat their opponent, even if it’s breaking the rules. Despite practically living at the gym or on the field, these sports-loving monsters often prove that bigger doesn’t always mean better when it comes to Scaring.

Members

 * George Sanderson
 * Percy Boleslaw
 * Spike Hike
 * Businesmoose

Roar Omega Roar
The Roar Omega Roar (RΩR) fraternity is made up of the best of the best. They’re the smartest, most skilled, Scariest monsters at Monsters University, and come from families with a long, proud history of Scaring. While the RΩRs may be preppy in dress, they are ferocious in action and downright ruthless, if necessary. Self-declared as the most elite house on campus, the RΩRs are lead by Johnny Worthington who presides over the house like an all-powerful monarch. Eager to continue their Scare Games winning streak, the RΩRs will do whatever it takes to stay on top.

Members

 * Johnny Worthington III
 * Chet Alexander
 * Randall Boggs
 * Ninja
 * Loustik005

Python Nu Kappa
Pretty in pink, the sisters of Python Nu Kappa (PNK) are not to be underestimated. Led by their fearless queen bee Carrie, these ladies are smart, cold-hearted and merciless. Covered in pink from head to toe, the PNKs sweet exterior quickly turns terrifying when the Scare Games begin.
