The Medieval Party 2008 was a party between May 16, 2008, and May 25, 2008. It was the first medieval party on Club Penguin. It was described by Club Penguin[1] (and many other penguins) as one of the biggest parties in their history. Most of the rooms were decorated and the Switchbox 3000 was moved to the Mine to control the dragon (which looked very similar to the Shrek Dragon). At the Mountain there was a "Magic Mirror" which operated in a way similar to that of a "Magic 8" ball. In the Gift Shop's catalog Penguin Style there was a dragon, knight and princess costume for memberPenguins, medieval backgrounds, and a note from the party committee about preparing for this party hidden behind the clothing catalog. The free item was the Squire Tunic at the Dock. The Wizard Hat was also re-released at the Lighthouse. It was first released in the 2006 Halloween Party. This was the first party to include the exclusive room which is only available during special events called The Party. It was a Treehouse Fort and it was located at the Forest.
The manhole in the Plaza was removed during the party.
In 2007, Billybob answered to a penguin on a blog post that there may be a 'Royal Party' in the future. This was proved true due to the existence of Medieval Party.[citation needed]
