Kids choose and name a penguin character to act as their avatar as they traverse over the Club Penguin site and play games to merit coins. These coins can be exchanged for clothing and other items. There also other ways to score coins by means of Club Penguin cheats. The site says it's for children 8-14. There are 700,000 paying members worldwide and over 5,000,000 visitors per month.
Club Penguin is touted as a healthy zone for kids to play on line, and unlike some similar sites, it does have a few safety features built in. For example, Club Penguin allows parents to set up one of two levels of security. One level only allows Penguins to talk to each other utilizing a pre-set list of words and phrases. Even the "standard safe chat" uses a filter to make sure no unseemly language is used. Also, the site makes use of "spies" to scan messages between Penguins.
Parents should be aware of several things.
1. Membership looks fully without charge at the beginning. You'll see no indication of a price tag as you enter in your personal information. You'll only become aware of the dues when your child asks you to pony up $5.95 month for extra "upgrades" (or if you dig into the parents information area). Upgrades include penguin accessories and clothing, igloo decorations and the ability to adopt more "Puffles," the Penguin's pet. You can also get a few of these extras by making use of Club Penguin cheats. On the other hand, the membership charge makes it possible to run the site without advertising (so far).
2. Disney not long ago purchased Club Penguin. There may be additional tie-ins and pr for Disney goods in the future. Given the $700 million price tag, Disney decidedly sees a potential to leverage the site and its membership beyond the current scope.
3. Club Penguin is at heart a site for on-line game playing. Parents should be appreciative of the content and spend some time on the site and limit time on the computer accordingly. Club Penguin is an acceptable site for young children to spend time playing safely on line. At the same time, parents need to keep track of online and offline computer usage. We advise setting up the computer in a public zone in the house so you can easily observe your kids' internet traffic. You can use a Mac, with its Parental Control settings, or use filtering software to make sure your kids don't end up in the wrong place on the internet, either purposely or by accident.
