## History

### **Flippr 2014**

Flippr was launched on February 14, 2014 under the domain name of flippr.pw. It hosted three parties and three mini-parties. It closed on May 25, 2014, to be moved to AS3, reopening July 14, 2014. Almost all rooms were renovated prior to its launch. Flippr hosted another three parties and four mini-parties after the reopening. AS3 introduced new features such as more species of custom puffles, Gold and Silver penguin colors, as well as a general redesign of the game and website.

Flippr closed down due to major complications on November 5, 2014.

### **Flippr 2015**

Flippr was remade the following year, in 2015. An initial release of "spring" 2015 was given, but this was later pushed back to "summer" due to bugs.

In the lead up to the release, on July 16, 2015, a tweet from Flippr's official Twitter account, @FlipprCPPS, was sent out announcing the release date of Flippr to be July 19. This surprised many users, as Flippr had previously stated they would not be announcing a release date prior to Flippr's release. However, this was later confirmed as false on the Twitter account, with Flippr stating that the account had been hacked. They also stated that they would release Flippr at a time to catch users off guard.

Flippr 2015 officially released July 26, 2015. Its only confirmed party at launch was Puffle Party 2015. Most rooms were either entirely redesigned, or at least partially renovated, prior to its launch.

Flippr faced technical difficulties in the lead up to the Puffle Party 2015. The site was hacked and redirected to an adult site. However, the Flippr team managed to get the site back up in time for the party.

On August 27, 2015, Flippr's Twitter account was hacked, and the website became a dump of the Flippr database, leaking everyone's passwords and email addresses. The Flippr Gmail account was hacked, allowing the hacker to gain access to the Twitter account of Flippr's owner, Sandor, and the Flippr support account, as well as the domain registrar for flippr.pw, DNS provider, and webhost. Everything was transferred out to other accounts.

After the hack, Flippr was shut down, with the team stating that the game would not return, and that, instead, the site would host minigames. However, this never came to fruition.

### **Flippr 2016**

In early 2016, another CPPS, uPlayEve, announced that it would close on February 20 of that year. 15 days later, it was revealed that the CPPS would become Flippr. The uPlayEve Twitter became Flippr's new Twitter, and a new domain was purchased, flippr.eu.

Flippr 2016 opened on April 29, 2016, with some of the uPlayEve features, and with Fang as owner instead of Sandor. Sandor was not involved in Flippr 2016.

On September 8, 2016, Flippr closed again, because Fang, the owner, had decided that he didn't "have the time or the energy to run it".

Because Flippr 2016 did not include any of the main staff
members, such as Sandor, it is not considered part of the overall Flippr canon. Instead, it is deemed a spin-off.

### **Flippr 2018**

On March 31, 2018, it was announced by Sandor that he had plans to release a new Flippr in "summer 2018". Many users thought this was an April Fools joke, due to it already being April 1 for some users due to timezone differences. A Discord was created, and a new Twitter account was created using the old handle, @FlipprCPPS.

On July 2, 2018, it was announced that Flippr 2018 would not launch due to Sandor being given an opportunity to advance his real-life career.
flipprnow.com was the domain for Flippr 2018, which was once used as discussion forums for some of the CPPS community, and later housing a "Coming Soon" page for Flippr 2018.

### **Flippr 2019**

On August 12, 2019, it was announced by the owner, Lost, that Flippr was officially being worked on again. He stated that the planned release was Winter 2019, but this was never met. Not long after, Flippr entered an alpha stage with a chunk of the features and visuals planned originally for Flippr 2018.

The alpha advanced into the second phase after a few days when new things, such as a new interface and room updates, were added.

There was some radio silence after that. Flippr eventually went down and it went unexplained.

### **Flippr 2020**

In January 2020, a user that goes by the name DiamondFire received the files from the other owner, Icy, and then purchased the new domain, flippr.me.

In February, the game was handed, in full, to BuddyCrafted alongside his admins, Kibi and DiamondFire.

Soon after, Kibi resigned from his Admin position and it was given to the developer, Zombiestruck.

Flippr 2020 released on June 19th 2020, and Rockhopper docked at the island on June 21st 2020. Some of the old features, such as the Gold and Silver penguin colors, were added back in.

On July 17, 2020, Flippr went down to bring the game out of the beta phase, and it returned in 2022

### Flippr 2022

In january 2022 after two years of wait, Flippr returned as a downloadable client CPPS under the domain of flippr.world . It lacked the old features.

It's client is a fork of the Coastal Freeze client

In february, CP and Flippr puffles and Card jitsu returned and valentine's day and 8th anniversary parties went live
