Club Penguin is the #1 virtual world for children and has been around since 2005. Club Penguin, a snow-covered, virtual island populated by colourful, animated penguins, is known around the globe for its unwavering commitment to providing a safe online experience by using filtering technology and live moderators that doesn’t compromise creativity or fun. Players create their own personalised penguin and waddle around, interact with friends and engage in a variety of fun games and activities.
The award-winning virtual world of Club Penguin contains no third-party advertising and is free to use and enjoy, however a subscription membership provides access to additional features that enhance the play experience.
When parents register their child for Club Penguin, they can choose from two different levels of chat. Ultimate Safe Chat users communicate by choosing from a predefined menu of greetings, questions, statements, emotes and actions. Standard Safe Chat allows users to type their own messages, which go through a sophisticated filter system that blocks inappropriate words and phrases, as well as any personal information that could give a clue to their users’ real identity, such as their name, address or the name of the school they attend.
In addition, live moderators monitor what’s going on in the world and deal with any reports of misconduct 24 hours a day. Players who don’t abide by the rules can be silenced or banned.
