Hey there, good players of Poptropica!
It’s me, Purple Claw, with some interesting news — the unknown Creators are hosting another challenge that you should all know about! (There was also the visitors’ center challenge that we didn’t post about, but you can check it out here.)
Anyway, let’s get started, shall we?
So basically, the Creators are releasing 15 new house decor items, and we have to be the ones that have make that happen, through the power of social media!
Random PHB reader: Um, Purple Claw, what do you mean by that? We’re just plain fans! And why don’t you post more often?!
I’m glad you asked! Well, the Creators are giving us an opportunity to release some new sweet house decor items, but what we have to do is… uh… post pictures of the Ice Cream Machine inside our houses for some reason, and with the hashtag #FreeThe15. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Poptropicans must post a picture of the Ice Cream Machine from the Home Decor Store placed into their Pop Worlds Home.
Step 2: Don’t forget to use the hashtag #FreeThe15 in your entries so we can find it.
Step 3: Tag your friends and get them to post! We only release the 15 items if we get enough people to share their Ice Cream Machine in their Home and tag with #FreeThe15. The more people who enter, the greater the chances of unlocking these items!
Remember, this is a race against the clock- we need enough people to post with the hashtag by Monday to unlock all 15 items. The more Ice Cream Machines you have & pictures you post, the better! These items would be available for ALL PLAYERS, and we need EVERYONE to participate! Good luck, Poptropicans!
There’s a positive and a negative side to this. First of all, it’s free items, baby! Everyone loves ’em! But on the other hand, this kinda popped out of nowhere, and there seems to be no real rhyme or reason to it…
Don’t get me wrong; I love Poptropica challenges. But this one just felt so… random. In my opinion, I think that they should’ve just added the 15 new items without making this contest, but maybe this was their way of trying to increase the activity on social media. Still, the way they’re going about it feels half-hearted, with not much of a story to it.
If you want the new items to be added, please post the picture of your ice cream machine along with the #FreeThe15 hashtag on your social media pages. If you don’t have any social media, I can share yours on my twitter page – just DM me on Discord.
In other news, yesterday, another post was published on the Creators’ Blog, promoting one of Poptropica’s most popular islands: Cryptids Island. Cryptids Island is well-known for its mythical creatures and its extraordinary adventure.
The post was pretty interesting, but the thing that stood out the most was this glorious drawing of the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie:
It’s really nice! I really like the detail on the ocean, and I wish I would draw like that. However, it doesn’t quite look like the ordinary Poptropica style. When asked about it, the Creators wrote back that a Poptropica artist wanted to do things a bit differently to capture the mystery.
Anyway, Cryptids is one of my favorite islands, and I really want it to be remastered for Poptropica Worlds, so I kinda hope (even though the chances are really low) that it might be. So I guess #CryptidsForWorlds..? I don’t know. XD
Anyway, thanks for reading this post! I’ll try to post more and stop being too lazy – but until then, I’m out!

Already did my part xD. Looking forward to the release of these 15 new house decorations :3. The more the merrier, especially since they are confirmed to be free 😀 .
Yup, same. But the challenge feels so out of order, don’t you think?
Huh? But why…?
Exactly! I mean, I really want the items, but this just popped out of nowhere…
Yeah, really. Like you mentioned, it’s a bit confusing why they’re even doing this social media nonsense. Probably for more attention but why make such a big deal of this and not the 24 Carrot remaster, which if I recall correctly, they didn’t even make any posts about.
They did make a post about the new 24 Carrot on the Creators’ Blog, but it was a day after the release. Then two weeks later, they made another post and released a quick animated trailer for it.
Plot twist: they’re only going to be free for players with membership. 😉

Not to be that guy but *to
I’m such a failure
I made my mistakes! Lol
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… *Wait for a few days. This is going to take a while.*
Hi Purple Claw, we saw your post on your blog and wanted to clarify on the Poptropica Help blog as well! The new Home items are being freed to the Pop Worlds Home Decor store. They will be available to purchase by coins for all players!
Well, I don’t think there was any confusion about the items being home decor, but it’s good to know that they’ll be available for all players via coins. We certainly could use more updates that involve all players.
Now here’s something else where clarity would be appreciated: Why are you asking players to jump through this social media hoop instead of just releasing the new items? And how many posts is good enough to get those items released? This is the part that makes this little challenge feel a little random and off. I appreciate you dropping by to comment though.
I wish you will update both Poptropica Original and Poptropica Worlds: https://poptropicamylittleponyislandideas.wordpress.com/
..OOOOOOOOOOOOO- Really? Oh, phew. I would like that. Also, which social medias? Twitter, Instagram, Facebook? Are there others?
Oh, and is Skinny Moon secretly Brave Tomato?
As interesting as that would be, no, I’m afraid I’m not Skinny Moon. We are two very different people. 😛
So glad you liked my art! Your feedback will help with future endeavors.
It’s spectacular! Thanks for drawing! Hope to see more of your art in the future!
Hey, nice to meet the artist behind the picture! If you’re still around to read this, do you mind telling us how you came to be in the position to create work for Poptropica?
