Club Penguin was a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) where players created and controlled penguin avatars in a virtual world, engaging in various activities and mini-games. It was developed by New Horizon Interactive (now Disney Canada Inc.) and launched in 2005. The game was popular for its social aspects, allowing players to interact, decorate igloos, and participate in parties and events. Disney discontinued the original Club Penguin in 2017, but fan-made remakes and private servers have emerged, keeping the game alive for some.
