Update: For reasons unknown, the post mentioned below has been removed from the Creators’ Blog! Kind of weird… and nobody knows why! (Thanks for noticing, Explorer Bronze.)

Do you know what Poptropica may have looked like in its early stages of development? The Poptropica team sure had some different styles of designing back then! Check it out:

Poptropica’s embarrassing baby photos

Do your parents ever like to embarrass you by showing your baby pictures to your friends? Mine sure did, until I got even. Oh, did I get even…

Um, anyway, it turns out that Poptropica has some embarrassing baby photos of its own. You already know that when you start a new game, you can customize your Poptropican any way you’d like. It looks a little something like this.

Way back when we started planning Poptropica, we knew we wanted to let you customize your character. But, er, this is how we initially sketched it out.

Yikes! Of course, it was never meant to look this way for real. We just wanted to demonstrate how changing your character would work. Still… yeesh. I can’t believe we used to look like that. How embarrassing!

Well since I have only minutes till I have dinner… there is another fruit loops ad in Poptropica. These creators are nuttiest of the nutty. Nutty crunchies-they’ll make you nutty! I kid, I kid. So here’s the basic plot: This Aztec king doesn’t share his loops. Loops? So then you have to beat him at these challenges. Then he’ll “share.”

These creators are borrowing of street smart gags....

But either than that… craze and crave those crazy squares! Doh! Not that…

Happy birthday Poptropica!

(I was availible for this day, so I posted. No need to save Friday’s post for me. Thx.)

As you probably have figured out, it’s Poptropica’s birthday this month! The Creators’ post yesterday about their surprise has been revealed!

(Poptropica was founded in September 2007. The exact date was not announced, but since these birthday balloons were released on Sept 15, it may have been officially released on this day – or it could be just that it’s the middle of the month. ~Hijuyo)

Happy 3rd birthday, Poptropica!

Some of our agents may have already figured it out — it’s Poptropica’s third birthday this month!

To celebrate, we’re giving all Poptropica fans a chance to win a special, rare outfit. All you have to do is visit any common room between now and September 30, and look for the special blue balloon with a “3” on it.

Pop the balloon, and you win!

If you don’t see the birthday balloon this time, you can keep trying. Our 3rd birthday page has all the details.

And now, it’s time to party!

On Poptropica’s 3rd birthday page is the following:

“We’re celebrating poptropica’s 3rd birthday, and we want to our loyal fans by giving YOU a present! Enter any common room between now and Sept. 30 to check out our special birthday party decorations. If you see a balloon with a 3 on it, you can pop it to receive a ultra-rare prize! (Don’t see it? Try again as much as you like!) Thanks for your support Poptropicans and remember: the best is yet to come!

This message has been approved by Balloon Boy for all audiences.”

Awesome! If anyone has been lucky enough to see the balloon and get the costume, be sure to tell us! Congrats to all the people who managed to get the costume! 😀

Update: Congrats to former PHB author Codien on getting the birthday gear! Here’s the picture below – thanks for sharing! 🙂

"Oh what a magical three years! Happy Birthday Poptropica. With Love, Codien. *I’m wearing my favourite birthday suit."

Sneak Peeks

Three’s unlucky.

September 15, 2010September 17, 2010 rrburner

JK. It is lucky. Like in this post.

(But 3.14… [pi] is cooler… this awesome number doesn’t just rock, it boulders! 🙂 ~Hijuyo)

3 is the magic number

Three blind mice, three musketeers, three stooges — the number 3 has an almost mystical power. That’s why we’ve got a surprise in store for Poptropica fans that we think will triple your Poptropica pleasure.

But what’s so special about the number 3 and Poptropica? We’ll give you one day, not three, to figure it out. Come back tomorrow for the announcement!

DIRECTOR D

I believe there is three explanations.

1. Notice the balloon. is balloons going to be changed?

2. Schoolhouse rock island! 😐 Weird, I know. But trust me. Go to youtube and type in “Schoolhouse rock:Three is a magic number” You’ll be ok.

3. Let’s face it: Math island.

JK, who knows? I wonder what those three creators are up to? Three ideas in the island shelf is enough, right? Three out of three people could see that.

Great Pumpkin Island, Sneak Peeks

Silent pumpkins, chatty Charlie

TODAY, you can meet the famous Charlie Brown on Poptropica! Just head over to the unfinished Great Pumpkin Island on the Map – he and Linus will be waiting for you! (Well, actually, Linus is waiting for the Great Pumpkin to visit for Halloween.)

If a pumpkin grows in an empty patch…

…does it make a sound?

Well, I’m not sure if any growing pumpkin makes a sound. But I do know that it’d be a shame to leave the Great Pumpkin Island pumpkin patch empty this week. Those pumpkins are starting to grow, all right. And now, if you visit you can talk to another PEANUTS character!

That’s right, good ol’ Charlie Brown is in the pumpkin patch with Linus, and he’s got plenty to say. Head over to Poptropica and take a look!

SHARK BOY

According to Charlie, they’re waiting for the Great Pumpkin to choose the pumpkin patch they are on – which is already starting to fill up with pumpkins! Although you may not believe in the Great Pumpkin’s existence, Charlie will tell you that the only thing more unlikely than the Great Pumpkin visiting… is convincing Linus that it doesn’t exist. What do you think? Will the Great Pumpkin make an appearance?
