Hi Gs,

Survival Island is coming to a close, and the last episode’s title and description have been revealed on the official tour page – episode 5 is titled “Escape!” (or escahpay for Finding Nemo fans 😛 ), and the description reads below –

The hunt is on! In the darkness before dawn, can you turn the tables on your pursuer and escape the woods once and for all?

What can we look forward to as we escape from the legendary game hunter Myron Van Buren? We know someone – presumably Max McGullicutty – will be waiting to help us get out of the woods, and from the looks of these Daily Pop sneak peeks from the past month or so, it looks like we may be revisited by some familiar animal friends or (foes?), like the bear from the cave in episode 1 and the two beavers from episode 2! Plus, it seems our rescuer M.M. has a secret hideout…

Eager: A gnawing sense of deja vu.

Clampdown: Just grin and bear it.

In the Loop: Time is a flat circle.

Cub Scout: So exciting, we can hardly bear it.

Rigged: This bear gets animated when she’s hungry.

Holy Moly: This is no tunnel of love.

Coordinated: Of course, don’t lose the plot.

Lumbering: You aren’t out of the woods yet.

Into the Woods: More than a big bad wolf lurks here.

Any theories on how we’ll be able to outsmart MVB? Will we end up by his bedside to gloat about our victory, like the hero of the story The Most Dangerous Game, which the past episode of Survival appears to be inspired by? Share your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for the latest news on the Poptropica Help Blog! 🙂

TAFN.

PHB Ice Bucket Challenge & High Kicker power

August 20, 2014August 23, 2014 Slanted Fish

The PHB team has been challenged by Fierce Moon of Poptropica Secrets to take on the #IceBucketChallenge, and… challenge accepted! The cold doesn’t bother us anyway. 😉

If you haven’t already seen, a few of Poptropica’s most iconic characters have taken on this challenge as well, which aims to raise awareness and donations for the ALS Association, whose goal is to fight a disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which deteriorates muscle control. I made a little donation in the PHB’s name, and if you can, I encourage you to help a good cause as well. 🙂

As for nominees: we invite any Poptropican who wants to embrace the ice, to do so — whether in real life or with a Poptropica picture! When you do, feel free to post it on your blog or just upload it somewhere, then share it with us in the comments!

EDIT: Check it out — Spotted Dragon & Silver Wolf both completed the challenge and posted pics on their blogs! Also included in the images below is our challenger’s cool Early Pop pixel bucket:

On behalf of Spotted Dragon & her blog (ATP), Poptropica Tips dared to challenge Jeff Kinney himself to the #IceBucketChallenge… and Poptropica has replied on Twitter saying that we can “expect something at some point”! Looks like things may get more interesting! 😛

There’s a new ad on SUIs (sound-updated islands) such as Mythology, and it’s a street stand that will lead you to a CapriSun Roarin’ Waters website where you can enter daily for a chance to take on the pros from Major League Soccer. More importantly, though, it gives you the new High Kicker power, which is activated when you click “use” and press space bar.

Strangely, this doesn’t work on non-SUIs, and it also may remove your handheld item if you’re holding one. Anyway, enjoy the special move! Keep on poppin’ on, Poptropicans. 😀

Poptropica contributes to a “cool” cause

August 19, 2014August 20, 2014 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here with a little quickie post.

In the Creators’ ongoing trend of catching on to what is hot (or should I say cold) on the Internet, they are showing support for the ALS Association by creating not one, not two, not three, but four #IceBucketChallenge images. One of them, on the Creators’ blog, was an image of Oliver and Jorge of Poptropica comic fame taking the ice water with stride — or as much stride as Jorge can show.

These next few images are exclusively on the Twitter page, and it took a less… erm… conventional route as the Creators’ official tweeter decided to have a certain mighty Mythology god (and a few of his villain buddies) take the challenge in the way only they can.

This ice challenge (or should I say “hail and rain challenge”) image makes me wonder if the Zeus avatar pic the tweeter bears isn’t just random choice, but instead is this Creator’s Popsona, like there are Captain Crawfish and Black Widow on the Creators’ blog. (Although Black Widow & Dr. Hare do make an appearance here as well.) And from the images here, I predict that Creator is likely in the visuals department somewhere since he/she threw this together and all…

So have you done the ice bucket challenge yet? How was it?

BT out with this quick post!
