HALLOWEEN PARTY 2014 : WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR & EXPECTATIONS

Note : Information for this post has been supplied from clubpenguinspace.com

As September draws to a close, what can we expect in October?? Well, we will have 2 parties in October, the annual Anniversary party (9th anniversary) as well as the annual Halloween Party! Over the last few days new information has emerged regarding the upcoming Halloween Party 2014, here is what we know so far!

Costumes

We don't know too much about the costumes but from the UPCOMING EVENTS section in the Club Penguin Times, we have our first look at a witch outfit likely to be in this years catalog! It seems likely we will be getting new costumes as well as some classic old costumes. Another returning outfit will either be the blue dragon costume, the clown costume or the pirate costume - readers of the Club Penguin Blog had to vote between these 3 costumes in a You Decide poll, but witch will make it into the party?

Storyline

It appears Gariwald will make a reappearance from 2012 in this party. The storyline also seems to reference Ghostbusters?? Here is the official summary...

It all starts when Gariwald returns for Halloween. Gariwald is a ghost investigator, and there has been rumours of paranormal events at the Puffle Hotel. During the party, the Puffle Hotel will transform into a MASSIVE Haunted House with 13 floors. Gariwald ends up being kidnapped by... GHOST PUFFLES. To stop them, you have to collect pieces of Gariwald's Ghost Catcher which are scattered around the Puffle Hotel. Inside the Puffle Hotel, there is a basement, pool and more!

That sounds awesome! From the storyline summary we can confirm that : the Puffle Hotel will be the focus of the party, Gariwald has returned, the Puffle Hotel will have 13 floors which is already 13 party rooms confirmed, there will be Ghost Puffles and perhaps we can adopt them and finally there will be another scavenger hunt in this party! I can hardly wait :)

Script

The script shows that each floor to the hotel will have a task of some kind that will help continue the quest! There will be a maze, clues on the walls, secret messages, strange pumpkins etc. Click here to read through the script

That's about all we know from Halloween Party 2014 at this moment in time. But what are out expectations??

Expectations

I think it's fair to say Club Penguin will advertise this as probably the best Halloween Party ever!!! I'm really excited as there seems like a lot of activities/tasks in this party - some seem trickier than the sort of quests we've been getting recently in parties. 

However, will the Puffle Hotel be the only decorated rooms for the party? If you take the Halloween Party 2012 (one of my favourite parties), there was a big mansion which had different rooms and was haunted with ghosts, but as well as the mansion, the rest of the rooms on the island were ALSO decorated. Will this party do the same? Well, the Music Jam 2014 and the School & Skate Party 2014 both had an area which was heavily focused on with the other rooms not being decorated music eg. The cruise ship for the music jam and then only 2 rooms decorated on the island. 

I'm hoping the rest of the island will be decorated for this party because this is the 2nd Halloween Party since CP updated all of their rooms, I don't see why the same rooms as 2013 could be used? The 2013 decorated rooms had lots of scary details but if they did return, the use of neon lights should be dialled down as well as removing the candy element to transform. Although saying that, I would love for the transformations to return as well but in a different fashion. I'm also expecting every outdoor room to use the stormy sky. Perhaps if the 2013 decorated did return, there should be a few extras as well as the puffle hotel :)

It also appears The Night Of The Living Sled will return to the stage, if the other versions return it almost guarantees that there some rooms will be decorated other than the Puffle Hotel. I wonder if the 4th edition of the film will be released this year?

More information to be added as we get closer to the party, I can't wait!
