Club Penguin
Snowy online hangout
Club Penguin was a massively multiplayer online game for children, operated by Disney from 2005 to 2017.
Players controlled cartoon penguins in a virtual world, chatting, playing minigames, and decorating igloos.
The game became a nostalgic touchstone for millennials: We spent hours on Club Penguin after school.
Private servers revived it after Disney shut it down.
