Distractions and Diversions Locations is a location guide for events in the Distractions and Diversions game feature. Locations for Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza and Penguin Hide and Seek change every week, starting on a Wednesday. Week 1 had only 1 day (2 September 2008) as D&D was released on 2 September 2008.

 * Week 3: Taverley
 * Week 4: Edgeville

Penguin roaming areas
By comparing the clues given by Larry and the actual penguin sightings, the roaming area of each of the clues can be determined. More than one clue may be associated with the same penguin.

Penguins are known to change costume during the same day and to change location - such as between Neitiznot and Jatizso. If a penguin disappears from one area and appears in a neighboring area, even with a different costume, then it is suspected that it may be the same penguin/clue/range. If it is indeed the same penguin, then you will get the message, "You've already spotted this penguin spy". (Be careful not to click twice, as that will also generate this message.)
