Addressed to the Army of Club Penguin

BLIZZARD, Shamrock Bulletin HQ – Hey, ACP! CP Journey is a simple game, but it may be difficult to grasp the basics as a new player. This guide will walk you through the simple map, coin, and catalog basics as well as what the thing we call ‘Tactics’ are.

Quick Basics

Here are the most important features of the penguin bar at the bottom:

Map: Used to navigate around the island. It is explained later in the post!

Emotes: You can use this to do the most common emotes in-game, instead of using keyboard shortcuts for them.

Chatbar: By far one of the most important on there, this can be used to input ‘Tactics’ as well as communicate with other penguins!

Edit Player: You can use this to change the outfit your penguin wears! Click on the arrow pointing left once the player card comes up in order to choose your items.

How To Use The Map

Once you’ve logged on to CP Journey, you can access the rest of the world by opening the map at the bottom left. Click the little icon at the bottom left to open up the map screen. You can use your mouse to click on any area you want to go to!

Here is a labeled map of each of the rooms, be sure to keep these in mind for our events!

How To Earn Coins

Earning coins can be done in two ways: playing the various mini-games on Club Penguin (roam around the island to find these!) and Mining.

Mining

You may be asking how to mine, so here’s a quick step-by-step guide on mining:

Step One: Head to the Mine on the map

Step Two: Walk into the building on the right

Step Three: Head through into the Cave Mine

Step Four Pick up the mining helmet from the left and put it on using the Edit Player button

Step Three: Head through into the Cave Mine

Step Five: Finally, head into the brown area of the Cave Mine and press ‘D’ on your keyboard to start mining. Keep moving around every 10-15 seconds to maximize the amount you get.

Cart Surfer Mini-Game

One of the fastest and most efficient ways to earn coins is by playing the most popular mini-game, Cart Surfer! To get to the game, go to the Mine and click on the mini-game.

Then press PLAY and quickly earn coins by spamming tricks while navigating around the track turns.

If you successfully complete the whole stamp book for Cart Surfer collecting all 12 of the stamps you will receive 2x Coins for every game you play indefinitely.

How To Buy Items In The Catalogs

Getting coins is only half the battle, as these coins can be used to purchase in-game clothing and accessories! There are usually three main item catalogs in Club Penguin. The main one is the Penguin Style Catalog while the other two are the Snow and Sports Catalog & the Costume Trunk Catalog. Along with these three major catalogs, there are also smaller 1-page catalogs scattered around the island that you can get things at.

To purchase something, head over to the location of the catalog you want:

Gift Shop (in the Town): Penguin Style Catalog
Sports Shop (in the Ski Village): Snow and Sports Catalog
Stage (in the Plaza): Costume Trunk Catalog

Once at the location, just open the catalog by pressing the book at the bottom right corner, and then click on a price tag. Once you press on it, you will be prompted to buy the item!

Be sure to grab the ACP Uniform using the catalogs. Check out the uniform page here to find out how to get the uniform.

Saving Outfits

CPJ also has a special feature where you can save your outfits so you can quickly switch between them when you need to for example get in the ACP Uniform before an event or switch over to the Alpha Division Uniform!

Currently there are 6 spots available to save your outfits to and we recommend that you reserve one of these spots for the ACP uniform and maybe a division uniform.

In order to save your outfit, you must first equip the items you wish to use and then follow the steps below:

Step One: Re-open your player card and select the bottom right button to open the Outfit Presets Menu.

Step Two: Click on the downwards arrow button to save your desired outfit.

Tips: to equip your outfit click on the preset outfit and then click on the smiley face button. To delete your outfit click on the preset you wish to delete and then click on the X button.

Basic Tactics (Emotes/Words)

‘Tactics’ are things we say/do on Club Penguin. There are two main forms:

Word Tactics: Copy up what the person leading says, and enter it into your chatbar in-game.
Emote Tactics: Either press E + (a letter) or use the emote bar. For example, pressing E + L when the leader says “EL ON 3” will make an appear above your penguin.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the game is laggy you can activate Low Quality by pressing the question mark on the bottom right to edit account

When pressed a tab like this will appear:

Press the Low Quality option, refresh your game and it should be done!
