Disney’s Club Penguin’s Marvel Super Hero Takeover event

Saturday, April 27, 2013 Siera No comments

Do we have any Club Penguin fans? What about Marvel super hero fans? Well, penguins are now assembling as Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains in Disney’s Club Penguin for this year’s all-new Marvel Super Hero Takeover event. Disney’s Club Penguin is the number one virtual world for kids. Penguins are called to defend the city of Penguintropolis by bringing members dressed as Marvel Super Villains to justice before they take over. Members will first choose sides and then can suit up in over 25 Marvel costumes.

“Last year’s partnership event with Marvel was extremely popular, and at that time, became the most-trafficked event in our history,” said Chris Heatherly, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Interactive Worlds. “This year we’ve made the Marvel Super Hero Takeover Event even more epic for players with twice the amount of Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costume options and deeper, more action-packed gameplay and storylines.”

As Hollywood’s biggest stars hit the red carpet, Club Penguin players are invited to star in the all-new Hollywood Party, which will transform the Island into the entertainment capital of the world. With three different movie sets, all players can start their claim to fame by becoming movie directors and members can work their way towards becoming film superstars. In typical Hollywood fashion, at the end of the event there will be a star-studded awards show where penguins can waddle the red carpet and members will have the chance to win highly coveted Club Penguin awards.

Club Penguin Hollywood Party activities will include:

Directors and Superstars: Penguins can aim for fame by directing movies and taking snapshots of superstars to earn points and items as directors. Members can see their names in lights and perform their way to epic stardom by acting in musicals and sci-fi and action movies, earning exclusive rewards along the way.
Hollywood Fashion: The new Hollywood party catalog has award-winning outfits like a diamond gown, a space astro suit and a rugged jacket.
Penguin Celebrity Appearances: DJ Cadence will stop by the Island to choreograph the musical production numbers, while martial arts expert, Sensei, brings his talents to assist members in their action movie performances. Lucky penguins might also have the chance to work on film special effects with sci-fi fan, Gary the Gadget Guy and attend a meet & greet with Aunt Arctic.
Movie Studio Igloos: Members can transform their igloos into blockbuster Hollywood studios with movie-inspired furniture and decorations.
Glitzy Red Carpet Event: At this black tie affair, directors, photographers and fans will rub shoulders with Club Penguin’s hottest stars.
Star-Studded Award Shows: With three award shows, directors and superstars can attend the hottest events of the season. Lucky members that obtain the elusive superstar status can win special Club Penguin statuettes.

Club Penguin Kicks off 6th Annual Charity Program in #1 Virtual World for Kids

Thursday, December 20, 2012 Chip No comments

Club Penguin players are changing the world through online play this holiday season as part of the sixth annual Coins for Change event. Running from December 20 to January 2, the Coins for Change program helps players celebrate the true meaning of the holidays by donating the virtual coins that they earn playing games online in Club Penguin to real-world causes that matter to them. For this year’s event, Club Penguin will host the biggest virtual bake sale ever, with players baking millions of in-game cookies and then buying cookies using their virtual coins to determine where Club Penguin will contribute its annual $1M USD donation.

Penguins can participate in the virtual bake sale by visiting the all new bakery and cooking up three different kinds of cookies to benefit Coins for Change. At the end of the event, players’ virtual donations from the bake sale will serve as votes to determine how Club Penguin will divide its $1M USD contribution among the pre-selected charitable projects. The votes determine the percentage of donations made in three areas: providing medical help, building safe places and protecting the earth.

To reward players for participating in Coins for Change, when they virtually buy the special bake sale cookies, they will be transformed into new holiday characters for a short period of time. All players can transform into toy cars, while members are rewarded by transforming into reindeer puffles and ‘frost bites,’ which allow them to temporarily freeze in-world items.
