Hi, everyone! Gentle Dolphin here bringing the latest news. Let’s take a look at some of the latest updates over on Poptropica’s Haxe build…
This feature is similar to the quest log from Poptropica Worlds. The main difference is that the Worlds quest log has a more detailed list of objectives, while Haxe’s quest roadmap only highlights the main story points. So far, the roadmap feature is only available on 24 Carrot Island, but it’s likely to make its way to other islands in the near future. For more in-depth guides, though, check out our written walkthroughs!
Remember the three loading screens that were added to the Haxe build last month? Well, they have been replaced with six brand new loading screens, full of Poptropicans flexing their fanciest selves:
These new screens look cool and give a sneak peek at some future items (bubble tea? AirPods??), but they highlight a key element that has been plaguing players for a long time: membership.
All but one of the new screens mention the incredible perks of having a membership (exclusive items, access to all islands, and so on). It’s no secret that these constant reminders leave many of us unamused and annoyed, especially since not many people are able (or willing) to shell out ~US$3.50 a month for extra items. Is Poptropica prioritizing membership over the general player experience? That’s an entire debate that’s been going on for years, and not dying down anytime soon, it seems.
On a lighter note, saving a new account now rewards you with 350 credits instead of 75 credits. This is a nice start for new players, so they can go ahead and buy more items like a new outfit or a few pet accessories.
Our final Haxe update is a rather odd one. When you walk around Home Island, you may notice that the area appears to have been cropped so you can’t see the outer edges of the island. This is most noticeable when you walk to the left and discover that you can not access the movie theater. I know the theater wasn’t too popular, but why would they basically crop it out of Home Island? Do you guys have any ideas?
Ever since the massive advertisement that was American Girl: Joss’s Island ran its course, some of us have been wondering when a smaller ad on would appear on Poptropica. Suddenly,Ā a new advertisement magically appeared to charm players across both Haxe and Flash platforms.
Our new ad is for the upcoming Disney Channel movie Upside-Down Magic, based on the titular book by Sarah Mlynowski. Watch a short trailer to receive the adorable Dritten Follower.
That’s all for now. What do you think of these little changes? By the way, don’t forget to cast your votes for this year’s Poppies before Wednesday, July 22! Stay tuned for the big celebration on Saturday, July 25, where we will announce the winners and hang out in the PHC Discord server.Ā
Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Learning about the origins of “Upside-Down Magic” gave me an idea for a POP QUIZ. Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll reveal the answer within a couple days.
Which of these famous Disney Channel Original Movies is NOT based on a book?
A. The Cheetah Girls
B. Jump In!
C. Lemonade Mouth
D. Radio Rebel
I think itās Jump In! Not exactly sure though.
Correct!
The correct answer is B: “Jump In!”
Can someone tell me why was Daily Pop discontinued? I logged in last year after an extremely long time but it had not been there nor is it now…
The Creators never explained why it was discontinued, but their posts petered out sometime in 2016, which is when they were focusing heavily on creating Poptropica Worlds. You can, however, view all the sneak peeks we saved (years of pics!) in the PHBās Daily Pop archive.
Radio rebel was not on Disney channel.
the shop did get updated to now and this a glitch when I go to all the island’s on haxe there is no customizer tool and on the home island too but on Poptropicon and common room’s it is there
Yup, weāll be posting about that! There was a lot to cover here, so we figured weād split the posts. Stay tuned.
