Club Penguin Discussion: Scavenger Hunts

Welcome to our first Club Penguin Discussion article! Club Penguin Discussions, or CPD for short, will be published here on Club Penguin Cheats each Saturday and give you a chance to join in the discussion and give your opinion regarding the Club Penguin related subject discussed. Lets dive right into 'Club Penguin Discussion: Scavenger Hunts' below:

Scavenger hunts were a popular element of Club Penguin parties and were always long-anticipated by Club Penguin players. The idea's simple - locate the given number of objects hidden and obtain a free item. It's not time consuming like the challenges Club Penguin has presently, but not so short it's boring. It's about in-between and that's exactly what made it enjoyable and made players come back for more. I'm surprised Club Penguin hasn't held any scavenger hunts recently since they can be easily incorporated into a party.

If you've ever participated in a scavenger hunt like myself then you know how much fun it was to search the island for the various objects, check out Club Penguin blogs for the ones you didn't manage to find, and after locating them earn a cool prize. It's one of the aspects of Club Penguin that's no longer around and I think should make a return. I wouldn't be surprised if you've never gotten the chance to join in the fun or heard of it. If you're not acquainted with scavenger hunts, no worries, I'm going to leave you a Club Penguin scavenger hunt expert by the conclusion of the article.

One of the last scavenger hunts was the 2012 Easter egg hunt. I was lucky enough to get to participate in this annual Club Penguin event and I remember just how fun it was to search, find, and claim my prize. Usually there were 8 objects to be found whether they were eggs, candy, or objects related to the event. Once players finished locating the 8 objects they could obtain a cool prize. These prizes, especially the bunny ears, were and remain popular and rare items. Backgrounds even as they haven't returned thereafter. The recurring scavenger hunts were the Halloween, April Fools, and Easter Egg scavenger hunts. Occasionally, scavenger hunts would be at special Club Penguin parties such as the Card-Jitsu elements celebrations. Club Penguin starting having scavenger hunts as early as 2006 and beginning in 2012 the Club Penguin community started seeing their disappearance. Why the events have been discontinued remains a mystery, but I'd love to see their return every so often at Easter and Halloween parties.

That concludes our first Club Penguin Discussion article. Although a thing of the past and a memory nowadays, scavenger hunts were an entertaining and regular occurrence on Club Penguin. I realize this was a long article, but hope you've thoroughly enjoyed this walk down memory lane. I'm confident next week's Club Penguin Discussion won't be quite as long as this weeks. Club Penguin Discussions wouldn't be a discussion without YOU and that's were we want you to share your view about scavenger hunts in the comments section. One lucky penguin's comment will be featured in next week's CPD article and you'll be sent a friend request on Club Penguin or a follow on twitter by Gpumpkin.
