(EFPR Island is coming out today for members! Check out BT’s post below for details!)
Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview & Theory series! This time, we’ll be covering Escape From Pelican Rock Island, written by the PHB team and organized by myself, SD. Be sure to check out our previous BTS posts, our most recent being for Timmy Failure.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW (but that’s what you want, isn’t it?)
Overview of evidence
As always, we will start out with the basics and lead up to the scenes, dialog, etc. Be sure to visit the Escape From Pelican Rock Tour Page for more info!
Pelican Rock is the toughest prison ever built. And after you’re framed for a crime you didn’t commit, it’s your new home! Use your wits to devise an escape plan, and your nerve to pull it off. But getting out is just the beginning — because the real criminal is still out there!
There is a printable poster available and members get a free costume in the store. Plus, there is currently a sneak preview and prizes if you visit the island!

Final Theory
Based on all this evidence and what we’ve seen in the preview for the island, we can predict the following for our quest. There is a robbery, but the thief gets away and your Poptropican is framed for the crime. You’re put behind bars and you have to use the items that you can get a hold of to escape. Once out, you have to make a plan to prove your innocence. Eventually the real thief shows up, the Booted Bandit, and the cops take him away. And for all your trouble, you get an island medallion!
Remember that Escape From Pelican Rock Island is going to be out for members today! 😀
