Dark Warriors of Club Penguin

Ready to save some puffles? This Club Penguin Journey Puffle Rescue guide covers everything you need to rescue puffles from the snow, the caves and the sea, and earn all 27 Puffle Rescue stamps. From your very first coin bag to the tricky 30 Sea Levels stamp, plus how to get the Moss Key and unlock the Underwater room, read on to find out how to become the ultimate puffle rescuer!

How to Play Puffle Rescue

Puffle Rescue on Club Penguin Journey

Puffle Rescue is found by the Puffle Rescue bulletin board in the Inside Mine. After the rockslide in the Cave Mine, puffles are stuck in some dangerous places, and it’s up to you to bring them to safety. The game is split into three modes, and each one has its own puffles and its own dangers.

• Controls: Move your penguin around with the arrow keys.
• Snow Levels: Rescue Blue Puffles by making your way across icy waters. Watch out for moving ice, cracks in the ice, sharks and buoys.
• Cave Levels: Rescue Pink Puffles in the abandoned mines. Trapdoors, steam pipes, mine carts and snowball cannons will try to slow you down, and the cave gets darker until you reach a checkpoint.
• Sea Levels: Swim to rescue Black Puffles underwater. You have limited time to get between platforms, and shocktopuses will zap you if you touch their electric fields.
• Puffles Per Level: You rescue one puffle per level at the start, two puffles per level from Level 4, and three puffles per level from Level 7.
• Lives & Checkpoints: Falling, getting caught or getting zapped costs you a life, and you restart at your last checkpoint. You can carry more than one puffle at a time.

Puffle Rescue Items & Obstacles

How to Get the Moss Key

The Moss Key is a pin you can only get through Puffle Rescue, and it gives you permanent access to the Underwater room. It isn’t one of the 27 stamps, but it’s well worth grabbing early while you’re playing.

You’ll need to play the sea levels, so start with Level 1 of the sea levels and follow these steps:

1. Rescue the Black Puffle. Complete the first sea level by rescuing the Black Puffle on it.
2. Spot the Giant Squid. Once the puffle is rescued, the Giant Squid appears and swims out to sea, leaving a trail of bubbles behind it.
3. Follow the bubbles. Use the bubbles to follow the squid all the way along a long stretch of deep water to a coral reef far out at sea.
4. Take the stairs. At the reef there’s a small alcove with a staircase. Take it to reach the Underwater room.
5. Collect the pin. Click the Moss Key Pin in the Underwater room to collect it.

Keep in mind that the Giant Squid only appears on Level 1 of the sea levels, and only until you’ve collected the Moss Key Pin. After you have it, the squid no longer shows up, so you won’t need to follow it again. Once you collect the pin, you now have access to the Underwater Room at the Hidden Lake

Club Penguin Journey Puffle Rescue Guide: Stamp Walkthrough

Puffle Rescue has 27 stamps in total – 4 easy stamps, 11 medium stamps, 9 hard stamps, and 3 extreme stamps. We’ve sorted them by how tricky we think they are, so you can work your way up from the quick wins. Lots of these stamps build on each other, so try to collect the coin bags in order, level by level.

Stamps by Mode

Easy Stamps

Let’s start with the quick wins! These four are all about coin bags and speed.

1 Coin Bag Stamp

Snow Levels

Find 1 coin bag in the snow levels. To get it, head to Level 7 and break every cracked ice tile. Once the last one is gone, the coin bag is added to your total automatically.

Quick Catch Stamp

Cave Levels

Catch 1 coin bag before it falls. In Level 2 of the cave levels, you need to get to the coin bag as fast as you can before it falls. Head straight for it and don’t stop to explore along the way.

1 Coin Bubble Stamp

Sea Levels

Find 1 coin bag in a bubble in the sea levels. In Level 7, go to the right-most fan and wait there for a while. Eventually you’ll be able to swim across to a bubble with the coin bag in it. If it’s too far away, go back to that fan and wait a little longer before trying again. It’s easier if you aren’t carrying any puffles.

Rapid Rescue Stamp

Sea Levels

Complete 5 sea levels in 30 seconds each. Each of the five levels needs to be finished in under 30 seconds, so it’s best to go for this early while the levels are still easy. There’s a harder version of this stamp, so check out the Extreme Rescue section for more advice.

Medium Stamps

Time to step it up! These stamps need a little more planning, and some of them have secret coin bags to find.

SOS 30 Stamp

Snow Levels

Rescue 30 puffles in snow levels. You don’t need to do anything special for this one, because it unlocks automatically once you’ve completed 13 snow levels.

2 Coin Bags Stamp

Snow Levels

Find 2 coin bags in the snow levels. Make sure you collected the coin bag in Level 7 first, or this won’t work. In Level 8, a balloon will appear, and it rises up every time you touch it. Keep hitting it until it reaches the keyhole, which unlocks it and gives you the coin bag.

Snow Student Stamp

Snow Levels

Complete 3 snow levels in no more than 70 moves. In other words, you need to finish Level 3 without making more than 70 inputs in total. There’s a harder version of this stamp, so check out the Snow Hero section for advice.

Cave Coins Stamp

Cave Levels

Find hidden coins on Level 1 in the caves. In Level 1, go to where the down arrow is, then do the following inputs:

• Down 2
• Left 3
• Down 2
• Right 3
• Down 2

You’ll end up on an isolated area with the coin bag, and a teleporter that takes you to the goal.

Cave Coins Plus Stamp

Cave Levels

Find hidden coins on Level 4 in the caves. Yes, it has the exact same icon as the last stamp! First, make sure you’ve collected the coin bag in Level 1. Then, in Level 4, make your way to the ending area and go to where the right arrow is. Do the following inputs:

• Right 5
• Up 6
• Left 6

Just like before, you’ll end up on an isolated area with the coin bag, and a teleporter that takes you to the goal.

Super Catch Stamp

Cave Levels

Catch 2 coin bags before they fall. Collect the coin bag in Level 2 first. Then, in Level 5, get to the coin bag as fast as you can. It’s directly on the path to the 2nd puffle, so it’s impossible to miss.

Easy Cannon Stamp

Cave Levels

Destroy 8 snowball cannons in cave levels. To do it, aim the cannons’ own shots at the other cannons so they take each other out. All 8 need to be destroyed during the same level. There’s a harder version of this stamp, so check out the Extreme Cannon section for advice.

Close Call Stamp

Cave Levels

Dodge the giant snowball. After you rescue the third puffle in Level 9, a giant snowball will start rolling towards you. It’s barely possible to escape before it hits you, so I recommend buffering your inputs as much as you can. While your penguin is in its moving animation, you can quickly hold down the arrow key for the direction you want to go. That way you’ll move again as soon as possible, giving you the quickest movement you can get.

Express Rescue Stamp

Sea Levels

Complete 10 sea levels in 30 seconds each. It’s the same idea as Rapid Rescue, just with more levels, so try to finish them as early as possible while they’re still easy. There’s a harder version of this stamp, so check out the Extreme Rescue section for advice.

10 Sea Levels Stamp

Sea Levels

Reach 10 sea levels with 5 full lives. Despite what the description suggests, you don’t have to beat 10 levels, you just have to reach Level 10 while you still have all 5 lives. Play carefully, try not to lose any lives, and make sure you finish Level 9 with 4 or 5 lives.

2 Coin Bubbles Stamp

Sea Levels

Find 2 coin bags in a bubble in the sea levels. Collect the coin bag in Level 7 first. In Level 8, go up after you reach the top fan. You’ll be led to a series of arrows, and after following them you’ll reach the bubble with the coin bag. If you have 2 or 3 puffles with you, you’ll be too heavy to get across the bubbles. The directions are:

Up, right, up, right, down, down, right, down, down, left, down, left, left, up, up

There’s also an easier way. In the area with the fan and the puffle, hold down and you’ll make it over to the wall. Once you’ve landed, keep holding down to get over the wall, then go down to collect the coin bag.

Hard Stamps

These nine need a bit more know-how, so take your time, and don’t be afraid to try again.

SOS 60 Stamp

Snow Levels

Rescue 60 puffles in snow levels. Just like SOS 30, this one comes automatically once you’ve completed 23 snow levels.

3 Coin Bags Stamp

Snow Levels

Find 3 coin bags in the snow levels. You need to have collected the coin bags in Levels 7 and 8 first, or this won’t work. In Level 9, 3 light bulbs will appear, and all 3 need to be lit at the same time. When they are, they’ll burst and you’ll get the coin bag. The easiest way is to rescue the third puffle, hit the closest bulb, and then take the shortcuts back towards the start to hit the other two bulbs before the first one goes out.

Snow Master Stamp

Snow Levels

Complete 6 snow levels in no more than 160 moves. This means finishing Level 6 without making more than 160 inputs in total. There’s a harder version of this stamp, so check out the Snow Hero section for advice.

Cave Coins Max Stamp

Cave Levels

Find hidden coins on Level 7 in the caves. Collect the coin bags in Levels 1 and 4 first. Then, in Level 7, go down to where the down arrow is and do the following inputs:

• Down 10
• Right 4
• Down 3
• Left 5
• Down 2
• Right 3
• Down 5

You’ll end up on an isolated area with the coin bag, and a teleporter that takes you to the goal.

Expert Catch Stamp

Cave Levels

Catch 3 coin bags before they fall. Collect the coin bags in Levels 2 and 5 first. Then, in Level 8, get to the coin bag as fast as you can. It’s right next to the 3rd puffle, so it’s impossible to miss. You don’t need to worry about the steam vents either, because if you’re fast enough you’ll be out of there before they become a problem.

Super Cannon Stamp

Cave Levels

Destroy 12 snowball cannons in cave levels. It works the same way as Easy Cannon, so aim the cannons’ own shots at the other cannons. All 12 need to be destroyed during the same level. If you’re finding it tricky, the Extreme Cannon section has advice that will help here too.

Extreme Rescue Stamp

Sea Levels

You need to finish 20 levels in under 30 seconds each, so try to get as many done as possible while the levels are easy. About two thirds of the later levels are easy to finish in under 30 seconds, and you can do as many levels as you need to get the stamp.

Careful with the glitch! Don’t finish a level while you’re in the air, or the game will glitch out and give you a blank level that can’t be completed, with no octopuses or puffles in it. It happens if you ride a fan in the third sea map and then go straight to the goal, which loads the next level while you’re still in the air. Just wait for your penguin to be on solid ground before you load the next level.

20 Sea Levels Stamp

Sea Levels

Reach 20 sea levels with 5 full lives. You don’t have to beat 20 levels, you just have to reach Level 20 while you still have all 5 lives. Play carefully and make sure you finish Level 19 with 4 or 5 lives.

3 Coin Bubbles Stamp

Sea Levels

Find 3 coin bags in a bubble in the sea levels. Collect the coin bags in Levels 7 and 8 first. Then, in Level 9, reach the fan on the other side, go up and to the left, and you’ll reach an arrow. Go up to find a giant bubble, which you can keep bouncing on until you reach the bubble with the coin bag. Make sure you land in the centre of the giant bubble instead of the side, or you won’t make it. You also won’t be able to reach the giant bubble if you have 3 puffles with you.

Extreme Stamps

Here are the big ones! These three take real dedication, but the payoff is worth it.

Snow Hero Stamp

Snow Levels

Complete 9 snow levels in no more than 270 moves. This is a very difficult stamp. To get it, you need to make use of the ice floes that move you horizontally or vertically without you pressing the arrow keys. It also really helps to know the layouts of each level, so you can plan your movement before you start.

Extreme Cannon Stamp

Cave Levels

Destroy 15 snowball cannons in cave levels. You need to destroy every cannon by aiming their own shots at the other cannons, and it all has to be done in the same level. You can’t do this on Level 3 or Level 6, because there aren’t enough cannons. However, Level 9 (and beyond) has exactly 15 cannons, so every single one needs to go. That means 2 of them have to shoot at each other.

The cannons closest to the 1st puffle will just shoot each other, so those aren’t a problem. The tricky ones are at the bottom. On each side there are 2 cannons, one on top of the other. Here’s how to deal with them:

1. Stand in the corner so the top cannon takes out the bottom one.
2. Make the cannon next to the bridge of crates aim at the other bottom cannon.
3. Repeat the same steps on the other side.
4. Finally, let the two cannons next to the crate bridge shoot each other, and you’re done!

30 Sea Levels Stamp

Sea Levels

Reach 30 sea levels with 5 full lives. You don’t have to beat 30 levels, you just have to reach Level 30 while you still have all 5 lives. Make sure you finish Level 29 with 4 or 5 lives. This stamp is extremely difficult, because the timing to get past the squid in Level 28 is incredibly tight. It’s a good idea to stock up on lives before you go into that level, so you can afford to make 2 mistakes and still get the stamp.

The safest way to get this stamp is to use this recommended route. It’s designed for levels where it’s too hard to be precise with your movement while avoiding a shock on the way to the checkpoint. The basic idea is to collect one puffle from the start and another puffle near a fan. Once you have the first two, use the fan to go back to the checkpoint, and repeat until you reach the fan again. From there, collect the third puffle on your left, then use the nearest fan to bring it safely back to the checkpoint.

Tips & Tricks

• Collect the coin bags in order. A lot of the stamps need you to have collected the earlier coin bags first, so work through the levels one by one instead of skipping ahead.
• Do the speed stamps early. The first sea levels are easy to finish in under 30 seconds, so go for Rapid, Express and Extreme Rescue while the levels are still simple.
• Buffer your inputs. Holding down the next direction while your penguin is still moving helps you move as soon as possible, which is a big help for Close Call and the move-limit stamps.
• Use the ice floes. They move you without counting as an input, which is the key to Snow Student, Snow Master and Snow Hero.
• Protect your lives. The Sea Levels stamps only need you to reach the level with 5 full lives, so play it safe and finish each level with 4 or 5 lives.
• Wait for solid ground. Don’t finish a sea level while you’re in the air, or the game can give you a blank level you can’t complete.

⭐ Our Puffle Rescue Rating

So, how does Puffle Rescue hold up? We think it’s one of the most varied mini-games in Club Penguin Journey. With snow, cave and sea levels, plus hidden coin bags, a secret pin and 27 stamps to chase, there’s always something new to try. It’s a little tough in places, especially when you’re going for the move-limit and sea level stamps, but that’s what makes finally earning them so satisfying!

Our Verdict

Puffle Rescue is a great pick for anyone who wants a proper challenge. Whether you’re planning a perfect snow route, lining up cannons, racing through the sea levels or following the Giant Squid to the Moss Key, there’s plenty to keep you busy in the Inside Mine. I have always found this game super difficult, especially when there are 27 stamps to try and earn. If you do like the challenge, go try your shot at this game but honestly, I’d stay away from it until it’s the final stamps in your book. It takes an extreme amount of  patience to earn all 27 stamps, especially Snow Hero and 30 Sea Levels, but  I suppose that’s part of the fun! So grab your penguin, save some puffles and good luck with your stamp hunt!
