Your Igloo

Open Your Igloo

If you are a member, you can open your igloo to other players. This means they can come and visit you, even if they are not on your buddy list. When you are in your igloo, if you would like other players to visit you, click on the lock icon on the right side. This will “open” your igloo to other players by adding it to the map. If you want to visit another player’s igloo, open the map, click on the igloo, and select the name of a penguin who you would like to visit. To close your igloo, click the lock again. If you log out, your igloo is automatically locked again. You can always visit a buddy’s igloo, even when they are not online. Simply open your buddy list, select their name to bring up the player card, and then click on the house icon.

How to Play Music

To play music in your igloo, you first need something to play music with, like the Jukebox or Home Stereo. If you own either of these items, click on the tape measure at the bottom right when you’re in your igloo. This allows you to edit your igloo. Once you’re in Edit mode, if your Jukebox or Home Stereo is already in your igloo, a cassette tape icon will appear on the right. If your Jukebox or Home Stereo is in storage, you still cannot play the music. To place the items in your igloo and out of storage, click on the box icon, and then click on the Jukebox or Home Stereo. Then click in your igloo where you want to place it. You should now see the cassette tape icon. Once that icon is visible, click it. This will open the Music List. Click on the song you want to play! To turn the music off, open the Music List again, and click “No Music”. Remember to click the tape measure again to get out of edit mode. If you would like to play music but you do not own the Juke Box or Home Stereo: First click the tape measure; Then the blue catalog to buy either item.
