Howdy, Poptropicans! It’s Lucky Joker here, and today I’m sharing with you some modernized features and new additions to Poptropica. Let’s see what it’s all about. (Note: the following updates are for the Haxe version of Poptropica only!) This post has been updated with more content since it was published!
The friends profile, which was first introduced to the game back in 2012, has been altered to receive an “upgrade” – as the creators put it. Seems borderline plain to me, but what do you think? Take a look for yourself:
So how it functions… The left button at the top right corner with a house icon directs you to your clubhouse. To visit a friend’s place, click on the “visit” button next to the person whose house you wish to drop in on. (Note: The decorations in any of the clubhouses I go to don’t match the ones I see on my Flash account. Maybe Haxe clubhouse furniture arrangements aren’t compatible with their Flash versions?)
Regarding actual friends, there seems to be a limit on the number you can have. I don’t know what the amount is exactly, but when I tried to add more by clicking the + button, it informed me that my limit was already exceeded. I guess in all fairness, this new friends page is still in its beta mode, so it’s not a surprise it’s a little faulty. We’ll see how, or if, these features get updated in the future.
UPDATE: The Poptropica Creators made a quick video walkthrough on the friends beta, showing the current features, which are (the long awaited) changing of your character’s display name, adding friends by username (so you aren’t just friending strangers, as this narrator put it), and visiting their clubhouses. Check it out:
They also shared on the official blog that “In the official release, you’ll be able to remove friends AND you’ll be able to hang out in clubhouses together!” If all goes well, we can look forward to future Poptropica parties in clubhouses! 🥳
Next, we have a follow-up on a post from yesterday. Our favorite droid, Quippy, has finally arrived (better late than never!) to Mythology Island’s (Haxe) common room – and even came appropriately attired in an ancient Greek chiton and laurel wreath.
There are 4 item cards including a Lightning Staff and Icarus costume (which are both members only), along with a Cyclops costume and Mythology Surfer outfit (available to everyone!).
Also, a new limited time bundle for the island is available for 1000 credits in the Pop store, which appears as a pop-up if you access the store through Mythology Island. The bundle includes a Greek God Growing Power, as well as Wings of the Gods and a Pet Leaf Crown. I’m quite a fan of these items, I must say – especially those wings!
UPDATE: The store itself also has an individual Greek Goddess Outfit and an Aphrodite Love Power. (Thanks PercyJackson1010!) With the special vanity mirror, when you press space bar, all the characters around you will be struck with hearts for eyes. 😍
UPDATE: Check out the related video the Pop Creators made, which introduces the limited time bundle and the Quippy on Mythology Island!
So what do you think about the updates? Do you like them, is it a hard pass, or are you some where in between? I’m pretty so-so about it in whole, but I’m willing to cut the creators some slack. At least they’re listening to us more these days!
Well, that about wraps up the coverage for today. I thank you once again for reading and I’ll talk to you all in the next one. Pop on!

Quippy, huh. I’ll be sure to check it out.
I can’t find the bundle. Is it gone already?
It’s similar to the Zomberry Hero bundle it that it’s a pop-up item.
I didn’t get any pop-ups. I went to Mythology, I went to the store… nothing. (I was on Haxe btw, not Flash)
There is also a Aphrodite love power thing that came in to the store the same time the goddess costume came as well.
Ooo, I love the new Mythology bundle! Might have to slip over to Haxe and try them out.
Update: I used the format loader to switch to Haxe, and bought the Mythology bundle. I put on the wings and the harp from the Greek Goddess costume. I bought the Aphrodite Love Power (which is only available on Haxe) and then transferred back over to Flash while still wearing the wings and harp. The wings and harp both showed up on my character, but the wings would no longer glide. I checked my inventory to see if anything had transferred over. None of the Mythology bundle was there, and neither was the Love Power. So I think the only way for the newer Haxe items to be transferred to Flash is if you put them on, use the Format Loader to get back to Flash, and save them to your closet. (And I’m fairly certain that none of the special actions can be preformed on Flash.)
What? I cannot find the bundle in haxe!
I can’t click on Quippy, even in other islands. I heard somewhere it’s only accessible on newer made accounts?
Quippy should be there in common rooms on the Haxe (web) version of Poptropica for every account! If it’s not working, contact support at poptropica.com/help so they can fix the issue for you and others.
