You’ll probably want to do the Halloween Candy Hunt too. This is a really fun scavenger hunt where you go around the island following clues to find pieces of candy. Club Penguin did a really good job of hiding them this year and they are tricky to find. The clues really help. Here is where they are all hidden.

1. In the trees at the Beach
2. In the trees at the Snow Forts
3. Behind the pumpkin stem at the iceberg
4. Up on the shelf with all the wigs in the Gift Shop
5. Inside the Pizza Shop on the left side of the organ
6. Inside the Ski Lodge above the fireplace
7. Inside the giant cauldron in the Plaza
8. On top of the Lighthouse next to the telescope

When you complete the Halloween Candy Hunt you’ll get the Forest Path Background as a prize. You’ll also earn the Scavenger Hunt stamp for your stamp book.

Members have two great rooms to visit at the Halloween Party and both are available through paths in the Forest. The first one is the Haunted House, which we saw last year. Anyone can go to the outside of the house, but only members can go inside. There’s a ghost costume available for free in a box on top of the stairs on the left side.

Members can also go into a special new room this year called the Dark Chamber. This is a series of rooms that you go through to get to a special Monster Maker area. The whole area is for members only and in the last room you’ll have a chance to meet Gary the Gadget Guy when he visits servers. You’ll also get some free items. They are a storm lantern which you use to find your way through the maze and the second is a pile o’ candy which you can use in your own igloo.

There are also lots of cool places to check out on the island for this year’s Halloween Party. My favorite is the iceberg, which has turned into a giant pumpkin. You can carve a jack-o-lantern out of it if you put on a construction helmet and use your jackhammer to drill by doing the dance move. Another great place to visit is the Beacon. The lantern has turned into a giant jack-o-lantern there as well.

And did you notice that the Rockhopper player card background changed? This is what it looks like now.

What do you think of the Club Penguin Fair this year? I like it but a lot of the events are just repeats. I think all of the events are repeats as a matter of fact. The prizes are pretty cool though. I have to go get enough tickets together to get that clown suit. It rocks!

The dragon in the Mine is back too. You can control him with the Switchbox 3000. Rawr!

There is also a new pin that came out with the party. It’s the shield pin. The pin is over at the Cove in the back.

Members get some new stuff and some old stuff too. There are now two Knight’s Quests for the party. The first is the exact same as last year’s but you get new prizes and the second is new. You have to be a paid member to do them and I let my membership expire so I couldn’t play them.

When you finish the Recycle Hunt, you’ll get a special pin that gets you into the brand-new Recycling Center, which is next to the mine.

And also at the mine is the free item for the party! It’s the Straw Gardening Hat and you’ll get it right next to the mine.

And there is another pin available. It’s the Leaf Pin and it is hidden up on top of the Ski Hill right next to the sign for the Ridge Run ski race in the back.

My favorite place is the Spinning Arrow Room, which is where the mine normally is. It’s a fun joke about how sometimes when you try to go to rooms you get stuck with the spinning arrows.

There are lots of other funny changes and surprises all over the island. Check out town with the invisible buildings and the dock. There are also lots of cardboard boxes around the place and many of them have funny things inside when you move your mouse cursor over them.

Members can go backstage inside the Stage area to a special room that has two free items. There is a play awards statuette and a video camera in the backstage area. Also, DJ Cadence and Aunt Arctic have been making appearances inside this room.

It also sounds like a new play is coming to the stage on February 12 and it will be called, Secrets of the Bamboo Forest.

The catalog has a new page where you can create a customized t-shirt. You can choose between three different colors and five different designs for your t-shirt. The custom t-shirt costs 250 coins. It’s pretty neat to have a custom t-shirt, but of course as with all the things in the catalog you need to be a member to get it.

There are also lots of hidden items and cheats inside the pages of the catalog. This is a short list of all the secrets and hidden items. Following is a list of all the ones you can find inside.

• Pink Snorkel
• Pink Flippers
• Red Viking Helmet
• Blue Viking Helmet
• Stocking Cap
• Long Johns
• Black Superhero Mask
• Dizzy Wig

Here’s a YouTube video of the catalog:

Whatever the name, it’s a really big and fun party. Rockhopper’s here and the entire place is crammed with Christmas presents, trees, decorations, and stuff. A lot of the rooms on the island have been completely re-decorated just for the party.

Free Item

Every good Club Penguin party has one thing in common, and that’s a free item! This year, the free item is the Santa Hat, which was also one of the free items last year. The other free item was the Santa Beard but that is not available this year. This time, the Santa Hat is in the Ski Village.

Member Free Item: Santa Suit

Members can get a second free item. It’s the Santa Suit. To get it, go to the Night Club and go up to the second floor. It has been transformed into Santa’s toy workshop. There’s a staircase in the back. Go up it to play the Sleigh game. When you drop 15 presents into the chimneys you win the game and get the Santa Suit as a prize.
