May 16, 2008, -- Disney Club Penguin (www.clubpenguin.com), one of the
most popular and fastest-growing virtual worlds for children, is
offering parents new tools to provide greater control of, and
involvement in, their child's online entertainment experience.
Club Penguin's new parent features allow adults to logon and view their
child's account history (including any bans and account payments),
change their child's password and choose whether their child can chat
by selecting from pre-approved phrases or by typing in their own
messages. An integrated timer, which lets parents set the time of day
and duration of their child's visit to Club Penguin, will be released
later this month.
Club Penguin, a snow-covered, virtual island populated by colourful,
animated penguins, is committed to providing a safe online experience
that doesn't compromise creativity or fun. Players create a
personalized penguin, waddle around, interact with friends and engage
in a variety of fun games and activities.
Club Penguin's newest mini-game, Paint By Letters, gives children a fun
way to practice reading, spelling and keyboarding through creative
storytelling. In the game, players type along with the onscreen words
and make choices on what they want to see next to help bring the
stories to life. By correctly typing to fill in the text, players
complete each line of the story and activate the accompanying,
animated, graphic images and sound effects. There's a surprise in store
on every page, and throughout each book, children can choose from a
selection of different words, allowing them to change the elements of
the story and the pictures that go with it as the story unfolds.
Club Penguin is designed for six to 14-year-olds but is open to
children of all ages. The site is free to use and enjoy, however a
subscription membership provides access to additional features that
enhance the Club Penguin experience. Club Penguin's goal is to provide
a fun and safe online experience through the use of sophisticated
filtering technology and a team of highly trained moderators.
Third-party advertising of any kind is prohibited.
Purchased by the Walt Disney Company in August 2007, Club Penguin
recently opened an international office in Brighton, England, dedicated
to providing additional player support and moderation. It's the first
time Club Penguin has offered local support to players outside North
America.
