Glossary

The words you’ll hear around the inn, from A to Z.

Accept: The first of the two steps that complete a trade. Both penguins accept the offers; any change clears both accepts. See Trading.
Badge: A small emblem on a penguin’s profile, earned automatically, for example for owning a room or completing a trade. See Badges.
Ban: Being kept out. A room’s owner can ban a penguin from that room for an hour, a day or for good; the inn’s staff can ban a whole account. See Staying safe.
Grand Exchange: The public room where penguins sell furni they no longer need, to the walrus dealer or to each other at the market stalls. See The Grand Exchange.
Bingo: A game for a room full of penguins: the board draws numbers, and the first to fill a line on their card and call BINGO! wins. See Bingo.
Blacksmith: The smith at the forge on Moon Isle’s Lower Ring who sells gear and mends worn or broken pieces. See Wear and the blacksmith.
Build rights: See Rights.
Card: The little panel that opens when you click a penguin, with their name, motto and buttons.
Condition: How much wear a piece of gear has left, from 100% down to Broken. It shows as a thin bar, green, then amber, then red. See Wear and the blacksmith.
Confirm: The second and final step of a trade. Only when both penguins confirm do the offers swap.
Daily bonus: 25 Krill paid once per day (UTC) when you sign in. See Krill.
Door: The tile where penguins enter a room. Nothing may be placed on it. The Door setting of a room decides who may come in: Open, Locked or Password.
Fee: The 10% of the price the Grand Exchange keeps when your furni sells at a market stall. See Selling at a market stall.
Fish log: The row of fish on your profile card: every kind you’ve caught, how many and your heaviest. See Ice fishing.
Follow: Jump into the room a friend is in, from your friends list. A friend out on Moon Isle shows no Follow; if they’re somewhere you can’t jump to, the inn marks where they are instead.
Furni: Short for furniture. Everything you can buy in the Shop and place in a room: seats, tables, lamps, rugs, plants and more.
Game furni: Furni from the Games tab of the Shop that anyone can play with, such as fishing holes, snow piles and the ice die. See Mini-games.
Guest: A penguin played without a wallet. Guests are tied to the browser they were made in and are lost when you sign out, unless you link a wallet to keep them. See Keeping a guest penguin.
Ignore: Hiding a penguin’s chat and whispers from yourself. See Ignoring a penguin.
Ice staff: A two-handed weapon from the magician on the Lower Ring that hits creatures from a few steps away. See The magician’s ice staffs.
Inn: Waddle Inn seen from outside, where a visit starts (if you left off on Moon Isle, you come back out there instead). Each door and window is a public room, and so are the market stall by the jetty (the Grand Exchange), the cellar stairs (the Krill Bowl) and the kiosk right of the path (the Penguin Exchange); the guest wing holds the player rooms.
Isle Grand Exchange: The second Grand Exchange, on the east side of Moon Isle’s upper ring, where penguins trade gear and the resources their igloos harvest. Its walrus buys gear only. See The Isle Grand Exchange on Moon Isle.
Inventory: Everything your penguin carries: furni and gear that isn’t placed in a room or put away in your cabinet.
Kick: Sending a penguin out of your room. They can come back right away.
Krill: The currency of Waddle Inn. You start with 500 if you sign in with a wallet, or 100 as a guest or with Google.
Krill hunt: A small pile of Krill that now and then appears on the floor of a public room. The first penguin to step on it gets it. See The krill hunt.
Land Bank: The marble hall on the north side of Moon Isle’s upper ring, where igloo owners collect their share of the Land Pool, 1% of the fees the inn takes. See The Land Bank and the Land Pool.
Land Deed: An NFT on Terra Classic that builds an igloo home on Moon Isle’s Igloo Terrace. Its igloo yields a daily harvest of resources for the workshop. See Igloo homes.
Land furni: Furni made at the workshop from a deed’s resources, not sold in the shop. See The daily harvest and the workshop.
Layout: The shape and size of a player room, chosen when the room is created.
Linked wallet: A wallet that belongs to your penguin. You can sign in and pay with any of them, and their NFTs count. See Wallets and NFTs.
Listing: A piece of furni you’ve put up for sale at a market stall. It waits on the Your listings tab until someone buys it or you take it back.
Lobby: The Iceberg Lobby, the Inn’s main hall, behind its main door.
LUNC Penguin: An NFT on Terra Classic whose complete look your penguin can wear while one of your linked wallets holds it. See Wearing a LUNC Penguin.
