- For the Club Penguin Island counterpart, see Igloo (CPI).
Igloos are the natural homes of penguins, where they live, in addition to any puffles they may have. Players can decorate their igloos with many various types of furniture, flooring, and the scenery behind their igloos.
There are many variants of igloos, most of which can only be bought by members from the Furniture & Igloo Catalog, although some can be obtained from parties, or by codes. Some igloos are also available for all players. All players start with the Basic Igloo.
A list of online, opened igloos on a server can be accessed by clicking on the igloo on the map.
History
- September 12, 2005: The appearance of all igloos are upgraded from the Penguin Chat Igloo to the Basic Igloo.
- November 1, 2005: Players without memberships were allowed to have igloos, although were unable to decorate them with furniture.[1]
- November 22, 2005: The first ever Igloo Upgrades catalog is released, allowing members to obtain different styles and sizes of igloos.[2]
- December 20, 2005: Igloos were shown on the map for the first time, and players could "unlock" their igloo by clicking a lock in their igloo to cause it to appear on the map. This addition was made in response to players sending each other friend requests solely to visit their igloo.[3]
- May 19, 2006: Music was introduced in igloos.[4] At this time, speaker-like furniture (such as the Stereo) were required to be placed in an igloo to play music.
- January 19, 2007: Flooring was released.
- July 14, 2008: A new background was added to igloos, appearing as a snowy landscape with trees, as opposed to a blank white background. The size of igloos was decreased, in order to have enough space for all the background.[5]
- August 27, 2010: Bought igloos were now stored in their own space in the inventory, allowing them to be saved.[6]
- October 4, 2011: The size of penguins in igloos was increased, as the update to puffles on the same day (addition of hats) caused them to appear the same size as penguins, rather than smaller. This was also done to make igloos feel "cozier".[7]
- July 26, 2012: Igloos received major updates. Igloo Locations were released, the igloo editor and inventory was redesigned to a horizontal scrolling bar, up to three igloo designs could be saved rather than just one, there was now an option to remove an igloo and place furniture in an empty space, and all players received a set of six items available without membership, which was from then onward received when creating an account.
- August 29, 2013: Players can now edit their igloo on the Club Penguin App.
- January 23, 2014: Igloo Backyards were released.

Trivia
- While igloos can have an infinite amount of likes, the counter in igloos will only display up to five digits. If an igloo has 100,000 or more, it will display 99,999 instead, although the true amount of likes can be seen if the igloo is open on the map.
- In a video promoting the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam, the unused Loft Igloo appeared when the actors for characters CeCe and Rocky were describing their Club Penguin experience. The igloo resembles the Split Level Igloo, but has a loft instead of a second floor. The image of the igloo was edited in, as it appears over most of the interface, and the lock and decorate igloo buttons were then edited over the igloo in turn.[8]
