The Penguin Games was a special event in Club Penguin. The news was released in The Club Penguin Times. It was modeled after the Olympic Games with Rory and Rookie as commentators. The party lasted from August 22 to about 12:00 PM PST August 27, 2008. It is similar to the 2006 Sports Day Party. The Soccer Pitch was said to be a temporary Members only replacement for the Ice Rink, however it remained for both Members and Non-Members until the Ice Rink was finally brought back during the Christmas Party 2008.

Prizes and Awards

There were three free items at each of the penguin games:

• Blue Face Paint (At the Pizza Parlor)
• Red Face Paint (At the Coffee Shop)
• Gold Medal (Only available after completing the three competitions)

The medal was won by completing all the events, similar to the Fall Fair. There were 3 events: Marathon (Start from the Ski Village and the end is at the Cove), Three Lap Race at the Iceberg, and the Swimming Event at the Underground Pool. Members gained access to the Soccer Pitch as stated in Issue #149 of the Penguin Times. Rookie also stated that G had a surprise waiting for the Marathon runners.

Other sports that did not count for the medal included Members-only soccer at the Soccer Pitch (also known as The Party), Ice Hockey at the Ice Rink, Sled Racing, Mancala, and Find Four tournaments.

Another interesting note is that each color team had a central building or area, with Red's being the Town (mainly the Coffee Shop) and the Blue Team at the Plaza (mainly the Pizza Parlor).

The Gold Medal you received if players completed all the tasks.

Trivia

• This is the only time the Ice Rink and Stadium were there at the same time.
• It is based on the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
• The Town music was added on July 15, 2008 as 213.swf, many penguins found and thought that it will be music from Music Jam 2008, but when the Music Jam comes and revealed that the music was not from Music Jam, In August when the newspaper reveals about Penguin Games, penguins start guessing it will be Penguin Games, and officially revealed on August 22.
• The Dock sold ground coffee for two coins a cup at a Coffee stand. This was a joke referring to the comic with Ground Coffee.
• Rory confirmed in the Penguin Times that you'd have to sweat for the prizes and there won't just be boxes of items before the party started.
• The Mountain had a giant bonfire, similar to the Olympic Torch.
• The Ski Lodge technically counts as both team Blue and Red's headquarters, because there are two couches with the sign "Blue's headquarters" and "Red's headquarters".
