After being teased in a video yesterday Puffle Digging is now released!

It’s not instantaneous or anything, but as you go around the island your Puffle will find treasure.

You’ll hear some sound effects, see your Puffle dig a hole, and out comes the coins!

The top left corner will show you how many coins you’ve received.

The Puffle Handbook has also been updated. A page for treasure hunting has been added.

Five stamps have also been released for it.

1. Puffle Dig – Walk a puffle and find treasure
2. See another player’s puffle find their first treasure
3. Every Color – Dig up treasure with 11 different color puffles
4. Dig All Day – Find puffle treasure 5 times a day
5. Big Dig – Find over 50 coins in a Puffle dig

Remember ClubHerbert.com, Herbert’s website, from Operation Blackout? Well…it got updated! There’s really nothing except space…but at the bottom it reads Star Wars & Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Parent permission required. Copyright 2013 Disney. Features shown require paid membership.

…so the sky required paid membership? Okay Club Penguin, okay… :P This goes hand in hand with a some information that a Club Penguin Support representative said yesterday. The employee of Club Penguin said there’s a Star Wars party coming next month and it looks to be true based upon this!

Club Penguin has released a new newspaper! This is their 20th of June edition. This is the twenty fifth issue of 2013 and brings us to a total of 400 published newspaper issues. I can’t believe this week marks 400 issues! I remember when it was called The Penguin Times…I joined the day after Issue 42 was released!

The main headline is this week’s newspaper is about the Scare Games.

The second main article in the newspaper is a special letter from Aunt Arctic about reaching 400 newspaper issues!

Here are the upcoming events:

The upcoming events listed in this newspaper issue are:

• June 27 – Scare Games

Club Penguin’s Everyday Phoning Facility construction is finally making some more progress!

Check it out. You can see that the outside has been given a much nicer look! It’s a lot more appealing and eye opening in my opinion. How do you like the exterior look of the building?

The inside still has some work to be done though. Check it out:

Hopefully construction is completed soon! It’s only been…six months!

Here is another small Team Ror sneak peek! I’m assuming the room Loustik005 is in is the Coffee Shop. Check him out:

Pretty neat! The Monsters University Takeover party starts next week on June 27th.

Thanks All73!

The third penguin of the day for this week has been posted! The penguin being featured on the Club Penguin Blog today is Agencoco.

Here’s why he was selected:

The team and I are always proud of our players, especially when they like to help others. Agenco did a 3km walk to raise money for kids in his local area, which is so inspiring! Great work!

Great work indeed! Penguins can be nominated by emailing support@clubpenguin.com.

• Puffle Digging Sneak Peek

Polo Field has revealed what the mysterious Puffle and stamps update is going to be! It’s called Puffle Digging. Here’s a video showing off what it is. The name is essentially what’s being done.

Puffles will be able to dig up coins on the island and starting next month members with Puffles will be able to dig up rare items…although he did not say what! His only hint was “There’s a classic pair of glasses up for grabs that only your puffles will be able to find…” Maybe the Red Sunglasses and Blue Sunglasses?

UPDATE: Here is another small sneak peek from Polo Field.

The following page has been updated:

• Club Penguin Blog

It’s finally happened – Club Penguin has their own official Facebook page for the game. Previously they’ve only had one just for Club Penguin Parents, but this one is aimed at all audiences. The URL is something easy to remember – Facebook.com/ClubPenguin. If you scroll down the page you’ll see they took advantage of the timeline feature giving notable highlights of how the game to be, for example when Dave Krysko, one of Club Penguin’s founders, started a small production company in Kelowna, Canada. It was known as New Horizon Interactive. (By the way, Dave is not Gizmo like many believe)

Some other cool bits:

The top of the Club Penguin Facebook page

Now, it’s cool that Club Penguin now has a regular Facebook page like on Twitter, however there’s one thing I’m not too fond of. Remember this Club Penguin rule?

While yes, it’s sort of common sense not to reveal personal information, Facebook requires your real name to display everywhere. As a result, if you comment or like something on Club Penguin’s Facebook page, your name is out in the open. Sure, nobody will know it’s Randompeng123 if they just see a name like “Eric Brown” unless you actually say something on the page going “Add me on CP i’m Randompeng123″ but it’s just the fact that the risk is there and I have a problem with that. Another scenario would be if you have the same picture on your Twitter account as your Facebook account. Let’s say Randompeng123 had a Twitter account and their avatar was a brown penguin with the text “Random” over it. Then let’s say they also made their Twitter account avatar their Facebook account avatar, too. Someone from Twitter could recognise them on Facebook and have their real name that way too without them actually saying their penguin name on Facebook!

I can understand Club Penguin wanting to increase their social media reach as much as possible but I think it’s a bit much with the addition of a general Club Penguin page…I think the page just for parents is better. Of course it’s their own decision and also yours if you want to like it but I figured I’d highlight any possible risks since I know a lot of penguins are younger!

You can go ahead and like Club Penguin’s Facebook page if you have an account (you must be 13 or older) but if you do, I recommend you refrain from liking or commenting on their posts unless you understand the possible risks involved. Or do what I have done and set up a fake account under a fake name and comment under that one instead. :)

That’s my general thoughts on it anyway, what do you think about it? Yay or nay with this social media page?

Ninja has posted a sneak peek of the Team Ror room on the Club Penguin Blog. He didn’t say anything about it other than in the post title, where he said Ror will be victorious. You can also see him in his Ror Hoodie. Unlike the other sneak peeks, Ninja’s penguin name is normal size. In the top right corner it says “Features shown require a paid membership” once again, hidden from most eyes!

Team OK is better than Team Ror!
