Businesses and Brands

Hello, everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying the Rainbow Celebration so far! The 1.9 update is now available to everyone, so go here if you have not downloaded the update currently.

So, in today’s post, I have some something unusually different to discuss. It is going to be a short discussion on the brands of Club Penguin Island. Now, when I mean brands, I mean companies or businesses that operate in-game. Why should we discuss this? Because it could bring a lot of potential to the island. In fact, this post is not merely a discussion, it is an idea that could work on Club Penguin Island!

Previously, I asked the question “Can Crate Co. become huge?”. If you haven’t checked out my first idea concept on this blog, you can do so right here! At the moment, Crate Co. is just a game involving throwing snowballs at targets to retrieve a package. It is a fun, teamworking game although it pays very little! On the other hand, that’s it. I proposed the idea of turning Crate Co. into a business that allows penguins to send postcards and gifts to other players (similar to Club Penguin). This way, it would make the business seem more effective and it would give people a reason to visit the building in Mt. Blizzard.

Anyway, this idea will be stemming from that concept and broadening it to the whole of brands on the island. Other than Crate Co., we have the Foodtrekker, Franky’s, Igloos & Interiors and a mysterious brand that we will discuss later in the post.

Here’s my overarching concept of this idea…

For each business/brand, there should be a system which will allow penguins to earn money and exclusive rewards. Just like a job in the real world, each company will expect whoever signs up for them to get the job done. For example, at Franky’s, you need to be able to bake up 10 pizzas in one day. Or, for Igloo & Interiors, you need to be able to craft a certain amount of furniture a day. How will this work? Through mini-games external from the zones. Franky’s could have a game similar to Pizzatron 3000, and Igloo & Interiors could involve a game similar to Bits & Bolts. A decent amount of coins should be rewarded to the player, and they can earn certain rewards from participating in goals/challenges set over different periods of time, e.g. through playing this game for 7 days straight, you earn a bonus amount of coins or a clothing item.
