Daily Pops of Pure Imagination and Out-of-this-World Members Gold Cards

Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination

Take a look, and you’ll see into your imagination.

We’ll begin, with a spin, travelling in the world of my creation

What you’ll see will defy explanation

If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Wanta change the world? There’s nothing to it.

Hey guys, BT here. Now you MIGHT be wondering…

“Why the heck did she include a song from a 1970’s movie in this post?”

Well, that 1970’s movie just turns out to be Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In 2005, a remake directed by Tim Burton was seen by many. And maybe in 2012, Poptropica decided to revamp the story to make it an interactive experience?

Squirrely: We don’t imagine there’s a moose anywhere around here.
Fruity: The juice is loose!
Ramshackle: Life among the underclass.
Oh, Fudge: Who is this great big greedy nincompoop?

There could be more Daily Pops relating to this, but those were the ones that stood out to me as Wonka-related. And the most obvious ones, at that. I wonder if this island’s quest would have to do with rescuing the 4 kids that ended up in tight situations (I’m talking about Augustus, Violet, Veruca, and Mike). Besides, I don’t remember the part in either movie where Augustus is seen on a conveyor belt covered in strawberry-flavored chocolate coated fudge, because it wasn’t in the movie.

I could be right. I could be wrong. It’s a prediction, and we’ll have to see. In the meantime, we wait for Lunar Colony’s release for members and demo for non-members. And the members get to have those special gold cards.

The Alien Archaeology card leaves a pretty tall pillar scripted with a peculiar alien language. And by alien, I mean outer space alien. The moon rocks card creates random moon rocks scattering across your screen. And the costume is-well-a costume.

The release of these island-specific gold cards give us the hint that Lunar Colony will be available soon, but not exactly when. We’ll find out soon, won’t we?

BT out!

Poptropica Mad Libs and possibly other books?

We all know Poptropica released an Official Guide Book, but while searching the Barnes & Noble website, PHB reader Muddy Axe discovered there could be more Poptropica books to be published!

As many people know, Mad Libs is a popular word game for kids where you pick random words based on parts of speech, then fill it into the blanks of a story for hilarious, nonsensical results. And now, Barnes & Noble lists a book called Poptropica Mad Libs by Roger Price available for pre-order.

There is also a pre-orderable book titled Poptropica Lime 1 by Elizabeth Corfe, and according to Amazon, “This title is part of Pearson’s Bug Club – the first whole-school reading programme that joins books and an online reading world to teach today’s children to read. In this book: Discover the online secrets of Poptropica. This title is suitable for ages 6-7 (Lime level).”

Do you think you’ll be buying these new titles if/when they’re released?

There’s a new big advertisement game in Poptropica, and it’s for none other than Poptropica creator Jeff Kinney’s upcoming Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, Dog Days!

This YouTube walkthrough from InsidersNetwork shows you all you need to do to win FOUR great prizes: Fruit Smoothie (Hand Item), Fregley’s Bandaid Costume, Soggy Cell Phone, and Dog Bowl.

  1. Fruit Smoothie: from Snack Bar Waiter, a waiter serving game much like the Mystery Train pre-island-release minigame
  2. Fregley’s Bandaid Costume: from the Perfect Splash game a bit like the Diving event from the Poptropolis Games
  3. Soggy Cell Phone: from the Water Ball Bounce, a beach volleyball game played in the pool

A Party “Four” the PHB: Happy Birthday!

As you may know, this Poptropica Help Blog (PHB) turned four years old on July 26th! PHB readers were invited to join the mega party on the PHC and it was a blast.

The chatroom was filled with lots of people, the conversations were rapid, there was some DJing with the YouTube player, and the Multiverse room exploded in fireworks, balloons, and birthday cake hats. Many authors showed up for the PHC/PHB Author Night – Slanted Fish, MT, Shaggy, Super Thunder, Brave Tomato, Rainbow Dash, and even past author Cool Wing.

There were lots of chat regulars and new faces, so thank you to everyone who came to hang out with us and have fun! And for those who couldn’t make it, remember that the PHC is open all the time as a regular chatroom for Poptropicans. 🙂

Happy birthday, PHB!

It’s been a great 4 years & we hope it only gets better.
