Hey guys! It’s been so long!! 😀 The SATs are coming up and school has begun, but I’ve resurfaced to tell you that the Forgotten Islands App is OUT! Check it out!
UPDATE: The PHB’s complete Forgotten Islands iOS Game Walkthrough is now available!
Poptropica: Forgotten Islands features an original storyline that spans several new island groups. Dig through the past to discover relics that reveal Poptropica’s hidden secrets. But watch out for competing explorers, natural threats, and the artifacts’ unfriendly owners!
Besides the main quest, there are dozens of new characters, several randomly generated sidequests, and a blimp-load of new outfits that you can earn. Plus, for the first time ever, you can upgrade your blimp to traverse ever more dangerous environments.
From what I can deduce from the video, it looks very different! Instead of gaining credits from completing Islands, you can collect floating coins:
There seem to be a variety of islands, with names like Flotsam (meaning wreckage):
The navigation looks like something similar to Skullduggery when you take on the open seas — except this time in your magic school bus blimp! Aside from that mentioned above, you can also customize your character with some all new costumes and some old ones, using the coins you have collected!
Here’s the catch: To play this all new adventure, you have to pay $4.99 on the Apple Store. Seems reasonable, seeing as how they need funding, but I’ve never seen an app where you had to pay that much on iOS ever. But who knows? They put a lot of work into this.

On a lesser note, the Creators have released a non-fiction book series called PopTopics. These books will talk about the topics that have inspired our Poptropica experience (clever naming, by the way 😀 ). The first one is on Mythology!
The first book, Poptopics: Mythology, gives you the inside scoop on the Greek legends that gave rise to Mythology Island. You’ll discover what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we left out. You might be surprised to find that truth is stranger than fiction!
Sounds interesting! For all the mythology buffs out there, this sounds like the perfect book for you! 🙂
Speaking of which, the Creators have hinted at more books: from “space travel” (Lunar Colony) to “monsters” (Cryptids), and even the Wild West (well, this is self-explanatory 😉 )!

Well, I’m off. Hope you guys enjoy playing The Forgotten Islands!

What? $4.99? Must be a pretty fun game then. I feel you Shaggy. High school is time-consuming.
I 2nd that! HS is time-consuming!
Awesome app! 😀
I am downloading this as of now!I may be able to post a guide!
I have now finished the game,but I can barely remember the start of the game.It was fun,though.i took some pictures too 😀
AMAZING!
I think I nearly finished the game, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. No Monster Carnival, unfortunately… and did you see all of the characters eyes look derpy? It was interesting though.
What?!Now only you’re starting to finish?!This is an outrage! xD JK,but how long are you playing for so far? I finished it in about four hours.And i don’t like the tribe leader of Gears Island,forcing people to build for him and all.I can see why one guy is an antisocial.My character is Shaggy Crown,btw.Oh,and I love the hilarious quotes made by people in the game! XD
Some funky names they have there haha “Gears”, “Flotsam”
New Coast Islands,Toe Islands,Giant Islands,Castaway Islands,Blue Islands,just to name a few.
*tow
Guys,the Sci-Fi-Doctor suit is now released on Virus Hunter!
Hurro Shaggy!
Poptropica sure has a lot of forgotten islands, huh? But none of them were Monster Carnival… 😦 Anyway, I’ve finished the walkthrough, so check it out if you need help or just want to see what the game is like (the guide even has pictures)!
Personally I thought many of the actions were kinda repetitive, mostly fetch quests with the item you need lying in plain sight for you to take (including a working refrigerator in the middle of a desert island, really?). The story wasn’t too bad, though. 😛
I downloaded the game yesterday, I still haven’t finished. School has been getting in the way anyway.
