We love games. We make games at our job. We make games on vacation. We make games in our dreams. And that's exactly what happened when we sent our best team of professional penguin game makers on a camping trip in a deep dark wood. They returned a week later with lots of mosquito bites, and with a new game: Vampires Vs Penguins! That's right - from the creators of your favourite childhood penguin game comes a new game you can play with your friends! Only this one involves 1000% more biting and betrayal. We hope, like us, you'll enjoy a wistful waddle down memory lane, as you gather an angry mob of penguin villagers and hunt down the creatures of the night. Or join them! We're not the boss of you.

  • Fun for the whole family
  • 3-12 Players
  • Easy to learn
  • Fast to play (20-30 mins per game)

What's In The Box?

A Sample of the cards from the game Vampires vs Villians!

Vampires Vs Penguins contains a deck of cards with specialized, hand drawn artwork, mostly of penguins. It also contains the instructions of how to play Vampires Vs Penguins, because we thought they would be helpful.

The Story of Vampires vs Penguins!

And now some haunting words from the creator of this dark game…
“The game of Vampires vs Penguins was created by firelight, on a cold summer's night. That's because I was camping, and wanted to create a game that required only a deck of cards and a secret desire to bite your friends and family.

I called the first version of the game "Secret Vampire", inspired by games like "Fox In The Forest" and "Werewolf". I wanted a game where someone would secretly turn against the other players, provoking tons of accusations and blatant lies. A real family game!

It wasn't long before my fellow campers (my wife and kids) wanted to play every day. Then, lo and behold, other campers who had overheard us playing began asking if they could learn. Perfect strangers who, I assumed, also had a secret desire to bite their friends and family.
After the third time this happened, I knew I had something special.

– Cody Vigue, Creator of Vampires vs Penguins

Meet the Team

Cody Vigue is the creator of Vampires Vs Penguins, and a former editor of the Club Penguin Times! He really did go camping in the woods with a deck of cards and a dream of annoying his family until he made a new game. He succeeded much faster than he expected, and soon had all his camp neighbors and probably wildlife playing the game.

Lance Priebe is the creative catalyst of the crew. The infamous creator of Club Penguin, it was his suggestion to make the vampires and villagers all penguins. It was he who lit the beacons and brought together the team to make this game. Dude really loves penguins.

Chris Quigley and Gord Quigley are the artists. Wanting to ensure the highest quality penguin art possible, they were summoned to hand draw everything. As part of the original Club Penguin art team, their ancient ways were unmatched for this task.

Chris Hendricks, the legend himself. When it came time to prepare all the videos, music and voice overs to share this story with the world, he answered the call. It was actually an email he answered. But still very bravely.
