Club Penguin - Club Penguin History

Before Club Penguin as we know it today, it went through many stages. It has a long history starting all the way from 2000 with "Experimental Penguins" then the game "Penguin Chat" came along. Both of these games was made by Rocketsnail the creator of Club Penguin too. Here is a very rare picture of "Experimental Penguins" in the start many years ago.

Here are some EXCLUSIVE Experimental Penguins in game pictures. These games have not been released anywhere on the web as we know so far. We are the first ones to bring you these pictures for you to enjoy. Check it out!

Here is how the login screen of Experimental Penguins looked like. As you can notice there was no register system in the game at that time. All you needed to do was enter a name of a penguin that you would like to play with.

Here is another picture of Experiential Penguins. As you can see, the game looks nothing like Club Penguin as we know it today. Expect for the whole penguin concept...haha!

So you may be wondering, if this game looks nothing like Club Penguin how did Club Penguin come from this game? This leads me to my next point, after Experimental penguins a new game called "Penguin Chat" was released to the public. Here are some pictures of the game, you may notice it looks A LOT like Club Penguin as we know it today. Also, there were 3 versions of Penguin Chat.

Here is the homepage of Penguin Chat when you tried to access it.

Now lets get to the fun stuff...haha. Here is how Penguin Chat looked in game! There were many similarities to Club Penguin but, yet some differences too. From rooms to penguins we'll show you everything! Lets get started shall we?

Below you will find a picture of how the Town looked in Penguin Chat. The thing was...there was only one room! If you tried to enter the gift shop it would lead you to a different page where you could buy Penguin Chat merchandise.

Here is another exclusive picture, I believe this was one of the older versions of Penguin Chat that is shown below. As you can see it looks a lot like Club Penguin. Although, the chat bar looked quite different than Club Penguin's today.

Now here are some rooms that were available during some later versions of Penguin Chat! These pictures are very cool in my opinion and I would like to share then with you. Check it out below!

This picture below is an unknown room to us but, this was a real room in Penguin Chat while it was public. In my opinion this room is pretty empty but, also leaves a mystery for us fellow penguins. It looks pretty cool huh? Also, if you have any idea what this room was, comment below!

This is how the Boiler Room looked during Penguin Chat. As you can see, it looks VERY different than the one that we have in Club Penguin today. The color theme is mainly grey. Also, you can notice how there are also some archives in the drawer behind the penguin. What could those be about? Hmm...

This is how the Coffee Shop looked during Penguin Chat! Did you notice some differences than the one in Club Penguin? If you didn't, notice how there are no stairs leading to the Book Room and how the table with the coffee cups has been moved.

Below is a picture of how the Dance Club looked during Penguin Chat! If you look closely you can notice there was no DJ3K or Dance Contest! Also, the Penguin Band always played there and the disco balls were designed differently. Pretty cool huh?

After this Penguin Chat grew to become a very well known game across the game and gained a lot of attention. Then, after about 4-5 years of Penguin Chat, Rocketsnail thought it was time for the change. The game Club Penguin was born on October 24, 2005 after a couple months of testing.

Club Penguin became a huge hit around the world instantly. Also, here are some pictures from the beta test that we were able to get to you! Check it out.

Beta testers also got a free month of Club Penguin Membership and 2000 coins added to their account. Ever since Club Penguin has grown to become one of the most popular games on the web. We hope you enjoyed this Club Penguin History page provided by Club Penguin Vacation. Until then fellow readers.
