The Party Hat (also known as Beta Hat) was a rare head item in Club Penguin. It was available at the Town during the Beta Test Party on September 21, 2005. It was the first free item in Club Penguin and players who attended the party could pick it up. It was widely considered the rarest item in the game, as it could only have been obtained legitimately in two 2 hour time spans during the Beta Test Party.
