Home Island

Strike up a conversation in the Blast-Off Arcade!

Hey Poptropicans! It’s only been a few days since we saw the sneak peek, but the new chat feature is now live in the Blast-Off Arcade on Home Island. Now, instead of jumping around the alien-planet space mutely, you can actually talk to some people!

If you click on a random player, you can say the following:

newchat1

And you can get even more chat options by clicking on the speech bubble icon in the lower-left corner. The icon will bring up four categories of speech (greetings, thanks, yes/no, and poptastic), and each one offers nine related options you can speak.

Right beside the chat icon, you’ll find the emoji icon. This lets you express a variety of emojis, one at a time as a thought bubble that appears temporarily next to your character.

So, what do you think of the new chat options? What do you enjoy about the Arcade or want to improve about it? Stay tuned for an update coming to the friends profile as well, coming sometime this month!

  1. How the quote options are set up is very familiar…

    Btw, you can still show your emotions by actually showing it, right?

  2. I can’t play my favourite games anymore (Soupwords, Sudoku, Pathwise, Hoops etc…)
    I can only play Sky Dive, Balloons and Star Link…

    Awh man I’m so dissapointed.

    1. You can play those in common rooms that aren’t this one, which ones you may ask? ALL of them…

      Well unfrotunitly, they aren’t as common as they use to be… 😒
