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?
Continue reading “Pop Protip: Play the old islands with Flashpoint 🏝🔦 (Windows and Mac)”Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Lucky Fish. Enjoy!
Hello! Today I’m showcasing the first wave of a little art project that I’ve started of drawing all the Poptropica islands to ever exist. I tried doing this back when I was 10, and got all the way to Pelican Rock or Home Island, but since then, my art skills have improved and I now have supplies to work with, so I decided to start fresh. Let’s take a look!
I had to draw Early Poptropica Island twice. I used alcohol markers to make these, and accidentally put too many outlines on the water-tower and the buildings, so I started over. I’m very happy with how clean this one turned out, and with how much the markers bleed, I’m surprised I was able to pull off the name of the island.
Next up is Shark Tooth Island. I kept having to erase what I had because I just couldn’t get it right. Getting the color of the sand was crazy. I had to use this green-yellow that somehow matched. The only thing I dislike about this one is the outlines of the sand, because I definitely messed that color up. But aside from all that, I’m proud of the detail I could pull off on the temple itself.
Time Tangled Island looks a little simple to me. I might fix it later, but probably not. I messed up the clock a bit, but everything else I got right, especially the logo (besides the first T).
Those are my attempts at drawing the first three Poptropica Islands. My plan is to keep making these to assemble them into one huge map. Stay tuned, and have a good day!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring, showcasing a Realm inspired by Super Mario Galaxy. Enjoy!
“You’re MINE, purple coins!”
“Go mama go!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give up!”
-GAME OVER-
“NOOOO, not again!”
“You were SO close!”
“I know! Purple comets are the WORST!”
Invisible Ring! …Are you playing Super Mario Galaxy again?
Of course! It’s one of the BEST Mario games… AND my blueprint for building my new Mario-themed Realm Tour…
That you’re LATE for! There are tourists waiting by your Starry Sky Gateway right NOW!
Oh! I forgot! …Good thing I found a magic wand to go with my Rosalina outfit. I’ll be there in a flash.
Welcome to the Comet Observatory of Poptropica Realms! It’s just below this little Gateway planet. Mama built this planet and this ENTIRE observatory out of a tiny barren rock, just like the Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy!
Thank you Luma, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Mama even built ME! And ALL the Lumas you see in this Poptropica Realm!
That’s right! The rest of the Lumas are down below in the observatory and the underground theater.
How are you gonna take the visitors down there, mama? Are you gonna use your wand again?
Not this time, Luma! There’s a red pipe right there. It can take us all down to where the tour begins.
Ok. Good luck, Mama! Good luck, intergalactic tourists!
Oh, good, you made it out of the gate! The tour begins THIS way, just across the bridge! You ready, Mama?
We’re ready, Pink Luma!
Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Lucky Fish. Enjoy!
Hey Poptropicans! Lucky Fish here. Today I am going to be showcasing my new written version of Survival Island, featuring the story of Silent Goose as he is stranded in the northern mountains. But enough of my rambling, I now present:
The Story of Silent Goose: A Poptropica Tale
Chapter 1: Crash Landing
It was early. Around three-thirty in the morning. The Poptropica sky above Home Island was still dark, though the faintest hint of morning rested low on the horizon. Most of the few residents were still asleep in their houses, their windows dark and the walkways empty. The island, which was normally full of chatter and excitement during the day, was completely quiet.
Out of a small apartment above the New You store, stepped Silent Goose, a young Poptropican ready for an adventure.
He gently closed the door behind him, careful not to make a sound. Tonight, or rather, this very early morning, was important. Silent Goose was heading to Counterfeit Island to meet some friends, and he didn’t want to wake anyone before he left.
He wore a green shirt with a bright lightning bolt across the front and a pair of blue pants. A pair of round flying goggles were on his forehead, ready for the journey ahead. The cool morning air brushed across his face as he stepped into his large yellow blimp. The blimp drifted as he fell into it. Goose picked himself up, and headed west towards Counterfeit Island.
After about an hour, Silent Goose still saw no trace of the surrounding islands near Counterfeit Island. No Reality TV Island, Astro Knights Island, nothing. Maybe he went the wrong way. Then Goose looked up — the stars were gone. It couldn’t be morning just yet.
Suddenly, it began to rain. First lightly, then harder, and harder. The night was so dark, Goose hadn’t realized he had gone under a raincloud.
SILENT GOOSE: “Ugh. It’s too dark to see anything!”
Then it happened. A big light, and loud BOOM.
SILENT GOOSE: “Well… that can’t be good…”
Silent Goose had sailed straight into a thunderstorm by accident. The wind began to pick up, swinging his blimp from side to side. Suddenly, a huge crash of thunder struck near him. Goose was in danger. He had to get off of this blimp! He was too high up, and the rain was too thick to see anything below.
Then Goose remembered, there was a compartment below his blimp that would allow him to access an emergency parachute. The issue? It’s below the blimp.
Silent Goose thought for a minute if it was worth it to attempt to grab the parachute. But the thunder was getting worse. So he decided it was worth a shot.
Goose climbed over the side of the blimp, and climbed down the wooden ridges towards the base. There, a compartment sat. Goose tried to open it, but it was locked tight. Goose didn’t have the key.
Just then, a blast of thunder struck just next to the blimp, sending some wood-chips straight for Goose. Some landed in his shirt. Goose had an idea. He took a wood-chip, and used it to pick the lock. The door swung open, and the parachute fell out, getting caught by Silent Goose’s feet.
He lifted the parachute with his legs, and held onto it for dear life. Goose looked at his blimp one last time, and jumped. He quickly tugged the string and deployed the parachute. Above, a bolt of lightning struck the blimp directly, and it exploded into flames.
The parachute began to glide very far, and through the smoky clouds. Silent Goose could see the land below. A cold forest. Trees and trees for miles.
The parachute crashed hard into two trees, sending Silent Goose flying, landing on a hill. He tried to get up, but the snow was too slippery, and he began to slide down the small cliff, landing on a solid frozen pond. Everything went dark.
And that was part one of my story! If you are interested, the full version will (eventually) be posted on my blog here. I hope to split it into parts releasing whenever I see fit, with two versions for each part: one in novel form, and one in blog form. So far, I don’t know if I’m ever going to finish this project, but let’s hope I do… one day.
Thanks for reading! Have a great rest of your day!

Hola, Poptropicans! In case you missed it, there’s a Bad Bunny out here making headlines this week for Grammy award-winning music and a spectacular Super Bowl halftime show… 🏈🎶
But for us Poptropica people, there’s an OG Bad Bunny in our hearts already, and that’s the infamous villain Dr. Hare. 😈💗 And so, in that spirit, we made a little reel to celebrate our Bad Bunny. Watch this Pop-over (Poptropica crossover) on our Instagram @PoptropicaHare! 🐇
We shot this mini music video in Puerto Rico on Cryptids Island—that’s right, the home turf of the other Bad Bunny, the rapper-singer also known as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. 🇵🇷 Bueno show, Benito! 👏
Who knew Poptropica, like the Americas, was so diverse in its geography? 🌎 Well, we had an idea, which is why we’re throwing it back to our World Map with Poptropica Islands from back in 2016. As both Bad Bunnies have shown possible, here’s to unity in diversity! 🥳
🌎 God bless Poptropica 🌴

Hey Poptropicans! We’ve seen a lot of creative fan art over the years, but this one is on a whole other level of unique. ✨
Check out this Poptropica wig created by Hamdi Osman, featuring a bright blue base with the classic Poptropica login screen, plus the iconic yellow blimp and Poptropica’s original “Bad Bunny”, Dr. Hair Hare:
Super cool! 🐰 If you like Hamdi’s work, you can find more of her wig artistry inspired by various pieces of pop culture on her Twitter/X and Instagram accounts under the name xamdl4.
Let’s give it up for another Pop queen! 👸👏 Gaming YouTuber Rinqueen—who’s shared lots of Poptropica playthroughs over the past few years—is back with another Poptropica video, this time playing through Super Power and Super Villain Islands with her usual entertaining commentary and edits. (Note: Mild language warning.) Enjoy! ☄️
In other news, Poptropica Legacy—a fan-made unofficial archive of Poptropica that started in late 2025—has been shut down. In a blog post on Legacy’s website, its creator and developer Andrew Wiles (HPuterpop/Messy Sinker) announced that Sandbox Inc, who owns Poptropica, has “demanded the entire project be shut down.” 🙅♂️
Despite this, players can still continue to access Poptropica’s older islands with another archive that’s been around the block: Flashpoint. As the Flashpoint archive operates in a nonprofit manner (unlike Legacy) and has worked fine for years, hopefully this distinction continues to allow this archival project to keep going. 🙏 So if you’re hoping to play the old islands, check out the Poptropica curation on Flashpoint!
And if you’re interested in joining a Poptropica community to chat about the latest, we welcome you to our PHC server on Discord. 🌟
Keep on poppin’ on!
