Puffle Roundup (formerly known as Puffle Game) was a mini-game in Club Penguin located in the Puffle Park. The objective of the game was to round up the puffles into the pen by moving the mouse cursor. Puffles would move away from the cursor at varying speeds. The player had 120 seconds in each round. The score depended on how many puffles were successfully caught, multiplied by the number of seconds left divided by ten. If puffles touched the edges of the screen, they would escape.
The game was originally released to help gather wild puffles, and was located at the Snow Forts, where the path to the Plaza would later be. Once that room was opened, the game was moved there, and once the Pet Shop opened, it was moved again. The game moved, for the last time, to the Puffle Park once that room opened.
At the time of the game's release, only the original four colors of puffle (blue, pink, black, and green) were present. The game was updated multiple times to include new colors:
- Purple puffles, on or shortly before August 11, 2006.
- Red puffles, on October 19, 2007.
- Yellow puffles, on November 25, 2007.
- White puffles, on February 26, 2009.
- Orange puffles, on October 22, 2010.
- Brown puffles, on March 22, 2011.
On October 19, 2007, the amount of coins rewarded was changed to be double what it used to be, along with Ice Fishing.
Puffle speed and sensitivity[]
Each color of puffle had a different speed and sensitivity. The higher the speed, the faster they would move away when the cursor was near them. The higher the sensitivity, the larger the range around them the cursor had to be within for them to start moving.
| Color | Speed | Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | 7 | 45 |
| Pink | 11 | 55 |
| Green | 12 | 90 |
| Black | 9 | 100 |
| Purple | 10 | 100 |
| Red | 10 | 120 |
| Yellow | 7 | 70 |
| White | 5 | 40 |
| Orange | 12 | 110 |
| Brown | 12 | 110 |
Trivia[]
- The roundup area was similar to the Snow Room from Penguin Chat 3.
- It was featured on the PUFFLE ROUND-UP Card-Jitsu Power Card.
- Before it was moved to the Pet Shop, it used to be called the Puffle Game.
- Puffle Roundup, Mancala, and Sled Racing were the only mini-games to be moved to another room from their original location they were added to. In this instance, Puffle Roundup was moved four times, compared to once like the others.
Glitches[]
- There was once a serious glitch that when players managed to complete 3 rounds and start another one, they would be removed from the server. This glitch was later fixed.
- There was a glitch that if a puffle was in the pen, and your mouse presses against it, the puffle would escape. This glitch was never fixed.
- There was a glitch that if you got all of the puffles in the pen and if the timer was not up where it should be, it would show: Caught 0000, Escaped: 0000. This glitch was never fixed.
