The Story of Villain!
And now some haunting words from the creator of this dark game…
“The game of Villain! 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.
“The game of Villain! 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. Now with the help of my fellow Brave Chickens, we’ve expanded the game to feature more than just vampires. We have plans for pirates, predators and penguins. Perfection!
So the game is now called “Villain!” Because regardless of who (or what!) draws that Ace Of Spades, you've got to be ready with an accusation and sharp stick! – Cody Vigue, Creator of Villain!

Cody “Code V”
He Wrote This Himself (Awkward)
A game designer and writer of modest talent, Cody often gets confused and winds up doing whatever job he happens to find in front of him. The original Aunt Arctic of Club Penguin herself, Cody’s gone on to create tons of games and stories of his own - including the oddly-addicting and award-winning mobile game AdVenture Capitalist. Cody’s worked on video games, comic books, board games, card games, visual novels - and has finally worked up the courage to be a Chicken.

Whether it’s a dangerous heist or a surprisingly delightful typography, Dan is the man to call. Somehow both very young and very not-young at the same time, this paradoxical producer has done everything from labbing logos, to whipping up websites, to typesetting t-shirts. He's blind in one eye, left handed, a proud grandparent, and brave enough to face every challenge that lies ahead. Go PapaD!
Chris & Gord “The Twins”
Artists Extra-Extraordinaire
Always two there are - a Master, and a slightly more bearded Master. Chris and Gord are the artists extraordinaire of Brave Chicken, and their deeds are legendary. Among the very first artists of Club Penguin, they got the chance to design tons of characters, stories, backgrounds, animations, and parties from the ground up. Since then, they’ve continued creating new games and gadgets much to the joy of everyone. They’re so excited to be working at Brave Chicken, they’re beside themselves!
