Trivia[]

Just like hidden pins in yearbooks, the EPF Handbook had secret messages popping by clicking certain parts of pages.
There was an unused popup which detailed the Director's signature, the last symbol used in Tic-Tac-Toe Code, which presumably meant "AA". Notably, it also referred to the Director as being head of the PSA, which ceased operations in 2010, rather than head of the EPF.
The handbook made no mention of PH or the Elite Puffles.
The "new recruit" had multiple similarities to Franky. The silhouette closely resembled artwork of him on the Club Penguin: The Party Starts Now! album, and the recruit's bio made reference to having a "public persona", associating with "musicians", among other mentions of sound and electronics (Franky played the keyboard).
- According to a former Club Penguin writer, this new recruit was not explored further due to little response from players, and not fitting into other then-ongoing stories.^[1]
The encoded message in page 6 says "YOU DID IT! YOU FOUND ME!", which was Dot's first quote in her debut in The Mystery Unfolds.
