Disney’s Club Penguin is the largest virtual world for kids, with over 150 million users worldwide, and has just launched its first official magazine – Disney Club Penguin Magazine. Big Brother is well on his way to becoming a geek (like his daddy!) but is a little too young for Club Penguin. We were sent a copy of the magazine to whet our appetite.
Disney Club Penguin Magazine hit news stands across the UK and Ireland, on Thursday 9th February, giving kids another way to engage with Club Penguin. The four-weekly magazine features comic stories, fact files, puzzles and activities themed on popular in-world games and events. As with all Club Penguin toys, books, videogames and apps, the magazine connects to the virtual world through secret codes that allow kids to earn coins and unlock exclusive items offering a truly integrated entertainment experience.
The magazine is in a similar style to the other magazine that we already buy – bright and colourful with lots of engaging activities. We enjoyed looking through it together and thought the price was very reasonable for the content.
Disney Club Penguin Magazine, published by Panini UK, is launching exclusively in the UK and Ireland. Each issue will include two secret codes that unlock exclusive items online for use in-world and will be available in all major retail outlets priced at £2.99. The magazine is available to buy in Morrisons and WH Smiths.
