Greetings, Poppie-tropicans! This weekend was the PHB’s 17th birthday, and we celebrated by announcing the winners of the Poppies, our Poptropica fan awards. We appreciate everyone for joining in on the fun this month, from nominating to voting, with almost 400 votes. Wow!
We kicked off the party with a chaotic pre-show skit right before the awards, and every author was featured in our Poppies presentation, which doesn’t happen very often! You can take a look at the video below or keep scrolling for the list of winners.

Kudos to all the winners and nominees of the 2025 Poppies, our 11th annual round! You’re all incredible. 🥳💚
It was a shame the Poptropica common rooms wouldn’t work, so we couldn’t see each other in them, but that didn’t stop us from having fun! During the party, a group of us lingered after the announcements and played a few rounds of Gartic Phone, which has always been a great time whenever we’ve played it on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC). Check out a few of our masterpieces! 😏

Thank you for being with us on the blue carpet this year! It was wonderful celebrating Poptropica’s legacy once more, along with the PHB’s 17th birthday. Just one more year until adulthood! Until then, Poptropicans…
Pop on!

Congrats to all the winners of this year’s Poppies, and thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun — it wouldn’t be the same without you! 🥳🩵 And happy blog birthday to our dancing queen, the PHB, only 17~ 😜💃🪩
Congrats!!!🎈🎉🎊
I still can’t believe Shadow made it to champion 😭😭💖💖 Thank you so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa–
Can’t wait to reach adulthood with Poptropica, I’m just a few months older than our old friend!
Despite not getting to party in the common rooms this year, the Poppies was still awesome! It’s great to see so many people still being involved with Poptropica throughout all these years (nearly 400 votes wow!) and It was really cool seeing all the PHB authors involved in presenting the categories. You all did a great job and it all came together nicely!! 😀
Speaking of Categories, great job to all the winners too!! 🎉🎊🎉 There is so much creativity and love for this game from the fans, which is always awesome to see. I do have to say though, Majority of the ones I voted for became runners-up lol 😂 (except for good ol’ sprocket)
Anyway.. a big Happy 17th Bday to the PHB!!🎂🍰🎂🍰🎂
Tysm for all your support, Lazy Kid! I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation. We all worked hard on it. 🙂 Hope to see you next year!
I don’t even remember what I voted for. I think I voted for the Mocktropica Cake, so I’m happy for that… probably.
