===Party Checklist===\
Hey guys! It's me, Screenhog!
Have you been enjoying the April Fools Party? I know I have! The April Fools Party is probably my favorite Club Penguin party of the year, just because of all of the neat things we can put in it that we wouldn't be able to do for any other party.
Have you seen absolutely everything in the April Fools Party yet? Are you sure? Here's a master checklist for you, just to make sure that you've seen it all:
Whew! That's a lot of stuff! The artists sure did a great job in this party!
Did I miss anything in my master checklist? Which part is your favorite?

April Fools Party (special Server Test event extended!)
Hello Penguins!
What a day! The April Fools Party launched today and there sure is a lot to see! I hope you get a chance to check it out over the weekend. There are tons of hidden surprises all over the island and a lot of the rooms have been redrawn in some really wacky and different styles! Be sure to check out all the different areas! Try getting together with a couple friends and see how many secrets you can find if you work together.
As always, let us know what your favorite part of the party is and even what you'd like to see next time. The party will be around until April 2nd! Have fun!!
In other news: Earlier today we announced a special April Fools event that would take place ONLY on Server Test between 10 am and 4 pm. After hearing from a lot of you about how much fun you were having with it, we decided to extend it! It will be up on Server Test all weekend. To check it out, go to clubpenguin.com/cpip and sign up for Server Test, login and play!
Until then...waddle on!

Special Project!
Hello Penguins!
A couple of weeks ago a special project got underway in Club Penguin. A number of you may have already heard about it through friends. It's called the Club Penguin Improvement Project (known as CPIP).
The Club Penguin Improvement Project will help make Club Penguin better, faster and hopefully even more fun! One major part of this project is testing new servers. Those of you who have already joined Server Test have been doing a great job testing the new servers and reporting any bugs you find.
I wanted to remind everyone about it because we are planning a really CRAZY special event for April Fools that is different from the party and will ONLY be on the test servers. I don't want any of you to miss it!
I don't want to ruin the surprise so I can't tell you what it is, but here's a hint: when you login to Server Test you will see Club Penguin through different eyes! Believe me, we've never done ANYTHING like it on Club Penguin before!
If you want to check it out, here's what to do:
- Go to www.clubpenguin.com/cpip
- Sign up for Server Test and login
Everything you need to know about Server Test is there--and I post on the CPIP blog every week.
This special event will only be around today (Friday) between 10 am and 4 pm Penguin Standard Time. So be sure to sign up for Server Test, login and check it out. As always, we love to hear what you think.

April Fools Sneak Peek
Hello Penguins!
It's that time of year again in Club Penguin! April Fools is just around the corner and the team here has been working non-stop on a party that will be full of all kinds of April Fools silliness! Every year we celebrate April Fools in a different way and this year is no exception. When you show up in Club Penguin between March 28 and April 2 things will be a little strange. Even the newspaper will have a bit of a twist!
I was able to grab a sneak peek of one room from the party. We've never done anything like it before in Club Penguin and I'm really excited about it. We would love to hear what all of you think about it!
Until then...waddle on!

Happy Easter Weekend!
Hello Penguins!
The Easter Egg hunt is going on all weekend in Club Penguin, so be sure to check it out! Get together with a few buddies and search for the eggs together. They are all hidden in different places around Club Penguin! It's lots of fun! It may take a bit of work because all the eggs are hidden really well--some are harder to find than others. It's worth getting to the end though. There is a prize and it's really cool!
We would love to hear what you think of this year's hunt!
In other news: The furniture catalog was released today too! I really like the band posters!
Until then...waddle on!

Migrator Construction
Hello Penguins,
Check out the Migrator at the Beach! A big development occurred today! There has sure been a lot of progress made on the ship in the last few weeks and it's definitely starting to look a lot more like the Migrator we remember! A lot of you are curious about when and how Rockhopper will return and what will happen to the Aqua Grabber when ship is totally finished. I can't say a lot right now, but I can say that all those questions will be answered in the next few weeks! I'll have a bit more info soon. For any of you who haven't been in Club Penguin for a while, check out the Club Penguin Times archive in the Boiler Room. You can read up on the Save the Migrator project.
In other news: This weekend, from March 21 to 24, is the Easter Egg scavenger hunt. Be sure to check it out!
Until then...waddle on!

Yearbook added to Book Room!
Hello Penguins!
I hope you all had a great time at the St. Patrick's Day party over the weekend. I know I did! I wanted to remind those of you who haven't been to the Book Room (upstairs in the Coffee Shop) in a while to check it out. There has been a lot going on there in the last couple weeks. On Friday, the 2005-2006 Yearbook was added to the library! It was great to flip through the book and look back on all the parties and fun events during that year. It's full of some great memories! For any of you who weren't around during that time and want to learn a bit about Club Penguin history, it's a great way to do that. As always, we love to hear what you think about it.
Until then...waddle on!

The team has been working really hard and all your excitement has really encouraged them! It took a bit longer to squash the last few bugs, but thank you for your patience! The newest game is finally launched!

There is a brand new Clothing Catalog and some brand new Wigs! I think the bunny is pretty funny. As always, let us know which ones you like and even what you don't like!

Another New Game!!
Hello Penguins!
As we promised, another new game is on its way to Club Penguin! The Club Penguin team has been working really hard on this one! I can't say very much, but the image above is a bit of a sneak peek of what you'll find when the game is released. And, I can tell you this:
- It is different than any other game we've ever launched
- It is not an action game, like Aqua Grabber
- It is not multiplayer (although we're working hard on more of those as well)
- It will be launched in the Book Room
- It is really funny and something I hope you'll all have fun with!
If all goes well, we're planning to launch it this coming Monday!
Until then... Waddle On!

New Wallpaper Tomorrow!
 |
Hello Penguins!
I wanted to let you know about a couple cool things happening early this week. Be sure to check out Fun Stuff on the website tomorrow for a new wallpaper. I won't spoil the surprise of what it is, but I think you're going to like it! With everything there is going on right now I didn’t want anyone to miss out on it. Remember to let us know what you think would be cool wallpapers for the future! We love your suggestions!
In other news: We made a couple small changes to Jet Pack Adventure today. A lot of you have suggested that a close button would be helpful, so we added one and made a couple art changes to reflect some recent additions to the Plaza. Enjoy!
