Are you wondering why the Poptropica map doesn’t have more islands than it does? If you’re an older player, you may recall a time when Poptropica had wayyy more islands on the map—more than 40, even! Where did they all go, and how can you play them again?

Here’s mine pictured below, partially desaturated from sunlight, after spending some time framed on my wall. 🌞
Released in 2011 attached to the guidebook, the poster features the Poptropica map as it appeared at the time, along with a smattering of island medallions and characters, from iconic favorites like Dr. Hare and Binary Bard to generic NPCs exhibiting various fun poses.
This reminiscing is inspired by a recent Reddit post by pizza1551, who shared their (in their words) “cooked poster” in response to another user’s nostalgic request. What a fun little time capsule! ✨
Poptropica has since released plenty of other posters, which you can find in our various Island Guides for those islands that have them, but this is the only one they’ve ever printed for us. The rest are digital downloads, including some designed to be printed on our own. 🖨️

This is it, Poptropicans! After parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of my pop-tastic PoptropiCon Saga comic series, I promised you an epilogue to wrap it all up with, and now it’s finally here!
…Now you have 771 pages of gut-busting graphic novel pages to read all in one spot! …At last, my 5-year PoptropiCon Saga is finally finished! YAAAAAAY!
…Wait a second… five years? Did it really take that long? …It only took me six months to draw my 136-page Dream Island graphic novel prior to that! I can’t believe my PoptropiCon Saga took me so much longer! …On second thought, yes I can. A lot has happened to me during all that time…

Hey Poptropicans! 🤗 Poptropica fan artist RainbowBrush (Tough Spinner) is back with a cool new project: a fan comic called The Mystery of the Forgotten Islands, and she’s just dropped a teaser with four full pages, along with the following synopsis. Read it below!
Poptropica is an online game that features an adventurer traveling the ocean, exploring many different islands, and helping the people on those islands with their problems. Poptropica once had a wide variety of different islands to explore ranging from traveling the Wild West, to becoming a secret agent, to solving mysteries on a train. Unfortunately in 2020, the game engine that ran Poptropica, Adobe Flash, shut down. The shutdown of Adobe Flash caused most of Poptropica’s islands to disappear.
This story takes place in the disarrayed state that Poptropica is in now. There are only a handful of islands that remain in the world. Tough Spinner, a long time adventurer, attempts to solve Poptropica’s biggest mystery. Whatever happened to the old islands of Poptropica?
The teaser is also available on Instagram and Reddit, with a promise for future updates to be posted on those platforms whenever they’re ready.
And if you like RainbowBrush’s comic so far, you might also enjoy another masterpiece of hers from last summer: a Poptropica canvas of fan-favorite characters. 🤩 Or check out more Poptropica Comics here!
