How to Play Penguin Diner 2

Penguin guests will enter from the left side. Some come alone, some come in pairs. Click on a group, then click on a table to seat them. The faster you seat them, the happier they stay. Once seated, they look at the menu. When ready, they raise a flipper. Click them to take the order. Penny will collect it and send it to the kitchen.

When the kitchen is done, the food appears at the counter at the bottom. Click on it, then click the correct customer. Penny will skate over to serve. She can carry two dishes at once, so you can serve two tables if the timing's right.

After eating, customers leave money. Click on the table to collect tips and clean it for the next group. Tables must be clean before new customers can sit. Every day has a money goal. You must reach it to continue. Exceeding the goal gives you more money for upgrades. After each day, spend your money in the Antarctic Accessories Catalog. Choose to upgrade chairs, tables, get new chefs, decorations, or fun entertainment. As you complete all days in one area, you unlock new regions of Antarctica on the map: Terra Penguinia, Whale Bay, Bird Land, and New Seal Land. Each area adds new difficulty and style.

Antarctic Map

You don't stay in one spot. Penny travels across four different regions of Antarctica:

• Terra Penguinia: Your starting zone. Simple setup and guests. Great for learning the ropes.
• Whale Bay: A watery bay zone with tougher customers and a busier pace.
• Bird Land: Full of seagulls and tricky customers. Great views, more chaos.
• New Seal Land: Final area. Most challenging customers, highest goals.

Each region has its own set of levels. Beat them to move on and expand Penny’s diner empire!

Upgrade Your Diner

Developer

Penguin Diner 2 was developed by 2DPlay and published by Bigwig Media Ltd. 2DPlay is known for making fun, easy-to-play Flash games that went viral in the early 2000s. Penguin Diner 2 was released in 2010 as a Flash game but has since been converted to HTML5 in February 2021 to stay playable in browsers. Bigwig Media later released mobile versions for iOS and Android under the name "Penguin Diner 2: My Restaurant" or "Penny’s Antarctic Adventure."

The art of the game, characters, and humorous style make the game memorable and fun even years later. So it still holds up as a great example of a casual time management game done right.
