History

Club Penguin actually had a preceding game, Penguin Chat, also known as Experimental Penguins. It was made by Lance Priebe, owner of Rocketsnail Games.

In March 2005 Lance Priebe and a few others set out to create a safe virtual world for kids. Beta started in late Summer 2005 and ended in October 2005. They officially launched the game on October 24, 2005. In September 2005 they had a beta party for a few hours.

Club Penguin basically relied on word of mouth. They quickly grew. In 2007 they were bought by Disney.

There are rumors that Disney ruined Club Penguin – this is a false claim. All Disney does it fund the game teenagers and kids have come to love and play often. Did you know they have more than 30 million users?

    Disney did ruin it. They blew up the PSA hq they raised membership prices but on the bright side they have coins for change
    So Disney rember when you guys bought cp you said nothing will change that is a typo u ment to say a lot will change.
    Good job Disney 🙁 🙁 🙁

    i dont like any of the newer cp characters i only like gary wasnt he created before disny came in?
    all i know is the psa started in 2005. this is sad. ya know i relly wish cp had a time machiene so you could go back to the old cp. disny has ruined the game i mean alot depends around the founders they supply them money and they make the game but at some point they must of handed it off to disny. it is not theres to say they own. im sorta an old cp person but not that old like from the end of 2006 so i know a bit more than some people and i will answere your questions
