''As you succeed in helping Chip move through each level of the clubhouse, Melinda gives you a secret [[password]] that allows you to return. And Melinda rewards perseverance. If she thinks Chip has tried long enough and hard enough on a level<!---which actually means at least 10 deaths in a row where Chip was alive for at least 10 seconds; this info is not in the text--->, she'll let him sneak through to the next level. But it takes a lot of perseverance to impress her. How big is the clubhouse? [[Fireflies|144 levels]] is the rumor. But some claim that Melinda is [[Thanks to...|still building]]. In any case, it defies dimensions so don't get lost.

{{Distinguish|Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1}}
[[Lynx ruleset|The Atari Lynx version]] of Chip's Challenge has 148 increasingly difficult levels which Chip must complete, and there is a 149th level added to [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge|the Windows Entertainment Pack version]]. This original [[level set]] is often referred to as '''Chip's Challenge 1''' ('''CC1''').

Among aficionados of this type of puzzle game, the Windows version (usually referred to as the [[MS ruleset|MS]] version) of Chip's Challenge is famous for its [[glitch]]es and [[busted level]]s. This was a result of changed mechanics from [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] to MS and little playtesting in the MS version. Although there were many levels made easier, such as [[Scoundrel]], some levels became far more difficult; the level that would become the [[Spirals corruption]] had to be changed because the [[walker]]s would spread far quicker under MS rules, and levels with extensive use of [[hot block]]s such as [[Block N Roll]] and [[Special]] became frustrating trial and error challenges to solve due to the inability to [[Block slapping|block slap]].

As the re-release of the [[Steam ruleset|Steam version]] of Chip's Challenge 1 uses the game engine from Chip's Challenge 2, it uses the [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] ruleset with some minor changes.
