Adventures, also known as quests, and prefixed with ep. (short for episode) are activities in Club Penguin Island that players may partake in, and are received by talking to specific quest characters, currently either Aunt Arctic, Rockhopper, or Rookie. Adventures involve players traveling around the island, completing tasks, and solving problems. Completing adventures yields coins and XP, and often various other rewards as well, such as a unique item or blueprints.
Except for the first adventure of each first chapter (Leaky Landing, Bottled Maps, and Drop In), adventures can only be played by members. Also except for said adventure, adventures can be paused and continued later or replayed after completion at will. Completing Leaky Landing is required to access various features in the game, such as Daily Challenges.
Completing an adventure unlocks the following one from the same character. However, Bottled Maps instead requires Leaky Landing be completed. Most adventures also require the player is a certain rank or higher before they can be played.
Prior to the 1.2.1 update, the second chapter of Aunt Arctic's adventures was coded to not check for membership, meaning they could be played without membership, providing the player completed the first chapter while having membership. However, due to the prevalence of member-only features, only the first (Machine Malfunctions) and eighth (System Defender) adventures could have actually been completed without membership.
Similarly, prior to the 1.5.0 update, the last Rookie adventure, Special Delivery, was also coded to not check for membership, and could be played without it if the player already completed the previous four adventures in the chapter as a member. However, it could not be completed without membership, as usage of gear is required.
If an event is occurring in Club Penguin Island, decorations will not appear while playing an adventure.
During Halloween 2017, all characters in the game (except Herbert and Klutzy) wore costumes, even during adventures. The island was dark and had a night sky even during adventures as well (except for Leaky Landing) but decorations were not visible.
