Skull-Loving Hares

Hey there, Poptropicans! This entire week, as you’ve heard, the Creators are sharing some of their favorite islands for once! You’ve heard from Director D and Captain Crawfish, but now it’s Dr. Hare’s turn! Take a wild guess!

It’s …

..wait for it…

..it’s coming up

…I promise..

Congrats if you’ve guessed ..

..none other than the infamous Skullduggery Island! From the words of the mischievous rabbit himself, he favors it mostly because of the variety in gameplay, from the questing to the battling and to the trading. I wonder who’ll expose their favorite tomorrow.

In other news, the description for Lunar Colony was released in the Island Tour!

An abandoned space station. A missing astronaut. A signal from beyond the stars. Blast off for a Poptropica adventure like no other! Get ready to explore the secrets of the lunar surface, and uncover a mystery as old as the cosmos…

Interesting, right? Well, good day, everyone!

Cryptids Island

Director D’s pick: Cryptids Island, and a moment of silence…

Lately as some of you may have known, the creators are putting more and more work into individually sharing those islands that they like the most. Quite naturally for some poptropican gamers, today’s island on the agenda is…

Cryptids Island!

Director D sure has a pick, huh? For those of you who haven’t yet taken the quest on this island, the main goal and plot is to hunt down exotic creatures, find evidence for their existences (such as the loch ness monster), and of course foil the plot of evildoers along the way. You can play Cryptids Island simply by visiting it on the map. Although this island has been out for over a year, it’s still quite an adventure. Nice pick, director. Honestly, though, I’d thought you’d choose Spy Island.

Further more Director D also points out his fascination over the Legendary Swords adventure! You can now pick up this gold card for free, non-member and member alike, in the poptropica store. Have fun chopping the heads of evil robots off.

Lastly, as all of you have heard the news, I’d like to take a moment of silence on behalf of those who’ve suffered greatly the past weekend. At a screening of the Dark Knight rises, twelve people were killed and 58 others injured in debilitating conditions during a shootout. The suspect even showed up in court today. This picture was an excerpt, given with permission, from cartoonist Bill Amend, which I thought suited the moment. You can read his comics at www.foxtrot.com

My prayers and thoughts are with all those in this tragedy.

Red Dragon Island

Creators’ Favorites

Icy Comet

So, for some reason, the Creators thought that we would like to know what islands are their favorites.  And they’re starting with Captain Crawfish.

You might think that his favorite island would be Skullduggery.  After all, he’s the star villain in it.  But I guess he likes being the hero better than being the bad guy.

Creators’ favorite Islands: Captain Crawfish’s pick

Over the next week, we’ll be sharing the Poptropica creators’ picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Captain Crawfish.

My favorite is Red Dragon Island. I love the art for old Japan, and I especially like all the cool ninja powers you learn to use near the end. You wouldn’t expect an old sea salt with a peg leg could master the grappling hook, but I did it!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

A pirate in Japan…doesn’t quite fit…  Well, what can I say?  It’s Poptropica, anything can happen.

Lunar Colony Island, PHB Parties, Sneak Peeks

I Don’t Wanna Fall Another Moment into Your Gravity….

Hey guys! 😀
So it’s been one day since the release of Wimpy Boardwalk to all! How many of you finished it easily? How many of you need a little help? 😉
Well, the Creators have released a sneak peek into the new and upcoming island (Or technically not an island), Lunar Colony!

I wonder what this picture depicts and what role it plays in the quest! It looks like a space greenhouse of something… Tell us your opinions in the comments!

The PHB’s 4 Year Anniversary is in 6 DAYS! 😀 Can you believe this blog was started 4 years ago? Well, here’s a little reminder of what’s gonna take place:

We hope to see you all there! 😉 If you have trouble figuring out the time it will be for you in your time zone (if it’s not either of the times up there), type in one of these times in Google and see! 😀

Well, that’s all for me today! 😀 Have a great summer!

Wimpy Boardwalk Island

The Boardwalk Is Here

MT

The wait is finally over! Wimpy Boardwalk is available for all!

It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy for a wimpy kid. When Greg and Rowley visit the boardwalk for a relaxing beach vacation, they never expect to run afoul of thieving teens, ravenous seagulls, and crooked carnies. Only you can clean up Greg’s mess before vacation ends!

And if you need some tips, PHB has a walkthrough for that – with pictures too!

Now that this island has arrived, our main focus will head over to Lunar Colony. So goodbye Greg and hello Astronauts!
