So many changes!
Moving on, in 2010 the 17th field op mission was released. It was located at the Pool where the glass windows are. The mini-game was to crack the code with the symbols.
In 2011 there were also many updates. The updates were:
- Penguin size increased in igloos
- New unlock design released with treasure chest (what you now see when redeeming codes)
- Treasure Book updated (and also added to the Gift Shop) – along with this any series coin code now unlocked the current treasure book
- Puffle Hats released (and a login screen advertising them accompanied it)
- Membership page updated
- ‘Mobile’ page link added to website navbar
- 50th field op mission (located at the Snow Forts Clock Tower, you had to find the matching shape for the game)
- Fence Pin at the Beach on the rocks
- Nyan Puffle: Part 2 uploaded to YouTube by Club Penguin
- …and finally, a new clothing catalogue for the month of October was released
The final year with updates on the 4th of October is 2012. The biggest update was a new Penguin Style.
- New Pin (Puffle Bat Key Pin at the Beach)
- Halloween Party 2012 Login Screen added
- Postcards Updated
- New Field Op (102nd one, located at the Boiler Room in front of the newspaper archives. Mini-game was to crack the lock by listening to the tempo of it, then repeating it)
