About the PHB

phb blimp logo2

What’s popping? We’re the Poptropica Help Blog, or the PHB for short. This corner of the web was founded by Slanted Fish on July 26, 2008 and has been serving as a popular Poptropica fansite for over 15 years.

Here at the PHB, our goal is to enhance your Poptropica experience by sharing game tips, secrets, news, walkthroughs, tools, and more. You’ll also find a fun-loving community in the blog comments, our Discord chat server, DeviantArt fan art group, and more.

The PHB is proud to be an Official VIP fansite of Poptropica. Note that we are not Poptropica, but we are players (like you!) who are dedicated to serving this community. Welcome to the PHB, the top stop for all things Pop!

Meet the team

The PHB team is the crew behind the blog that brings you the latest Pop news and more. We are ordinary players, not Poptropica Creators (though we wish we were). We’re young adults and teens, and you can sometimes find us on the PHC, the PHB’s Discord chat server. Thanks for popping by! 🩵

      1. I thought sir rebral didn’t have blue hair. so how did codien get blue hair????

      1. Aw, Come on! I said when my birthday is and why won’t anyone give me birthday wishes?

  6. Do you like Club Penguin or Poptropica more, ST?
    My greatest apoligies-I know it’s off topic. I just couldn’t resist asking.

  11. It would be cool if Poptropica made a new island named “University Island”. If it was real, it could be about this university “Poptropica University” and there could be this professor. His name would be Professor Simon and he is trying to turn the school into an evil academy and is trying to brainwash everyone there and you have to stop him. I just thought it would be cool, but I doubt they would ever make an island like that……

  12. YO! i havn’t gone on ur blog 4 a looooong time!!!!
    anyway… I wuz just wondering… y did u decide 2 make Big Nate Island have a different animation style than the rest of Poptropica? I still think it’s cool though.

  18. I love this blog so much I get on it everyday! Anyways, Scary Tomato, Codien, and Smockers keep up the good work! 😀

  19. I didn’t know were to post it so I’m posting it here :). I think I know why it takes the PHB so long to put up posts. First they have to copy and paste the posts, then they have to think of something to keep the readers attention! That’s what I think.

  28. Hey, any reason for choosing WordPress over Blogger? Just wanted to know, is it any better or has more features or what?

    Scary Tomato: I don’t think Blogger lets you make pages (such as this one), which is why I didn’t want to use it. (No offense) 😉

    1. Well Poptropica is not a baby game! 😈 All my friends at school have a Poptropica account! And it’s fun, even if it was meant to be directed towards babies!

      Reply

      1. i don’t think poptropica was supposed to be directed towards babies.i agree with you golden eagle. poptropica is awsome! all the kids at my school have an account and we are in fifth grade.

      2. Hey!!! Lovely Girl, you and I are the same age!!! SWEET!! I agree to, Poptropica is DEFINATLY NOT FOR BABIES!!!!!!!!! POPTROPICA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. Only a handful of kids at my school go on Poptropica. Well, only a handful tell me about it, anyway… 0.o

      4. I think only me and my best friend have a Poptropica account, but it’s only because the others haven’t even heard of it, and they probably wouldn’t think it was babyish.

      5. Poptropica is SO NOT for babies! It doesn’t ask you for any personal info, except gender for character and age for, I don’t know, making sure everything you see is appropriate?;)

  30. This blog is definitely the best Poptropica fansite on the web. It is informative, clean-looking, and lots of fun. It must feel pretty good to control such a popular website! 😉
    I give you guys five stars, two thumbs up, and a congratulations! Keep it going!

  31. So, PoptropicaHelpBlog in YT is really Codien because he is 15 and from aussie

    Scary Tomato: Yes, because you need to be at least 13 to have a YouTube account. 😉

    Reply

  32. I downloaded the Creative Block font a long time ago, but how do you get the Poptropica logo font? It looks like you’ve used a similar font to display the words “Help Blog” in your own logo.

    Scary Tomato: I’m not sure, since I didn’t make the header, but I’m sure Codien knows. 😉

  34. Hi guys, I’ve been here for a looong time, I’m sure some of you recognize me 😀 (that Jeff Kinney thing was me :blush: and also I guess from some comments)

    Well, I’m 12, and Christian, too! I live in Canada and have been playing Poptropica since last December, when Shark Tooth Island just came out 🙂

    Scary Tomato: Nice! 🙂

    1. Never mind 🙂 fixed that problem 😀

      I forgot to mention…
      I’m (obviously) a girl, a tomboy at that, and I have a 4.5 battle star ranking (have been trying forever to get a 5, but it’s no picnic)

  35. How did Grumpy Wolf become one of the phb team?

    Scary Tomato: He was invited by the PHB. 😉

    1. I think ST, Smockers, Codien, or all 3 of them 😀 thought that Grumpy Wolf was trustworthy and they decided to put him on their blog as a staff member.

  40. That is cool!! You find the character that has the outfit you want, then go up to the right hand corner of the poptropica screen, and click the shirt button(costumizer) then click on the person who has your outfit, and then it will make your character and the other character huge and you press on what you want, and then press accept. There you have it!! What is your Poptropican’s name? Maybe you and I can see each other!!

  51. Hey I just thought of a great idea! You should have parties on poptropica in the multi player rooms. I know each time you go in it’s not the same room in a sense because when you go in it sends you to one of like 5 rooms, but the people getting to the party will just keep having to try 🙂

  55. My Birthday is on June 6!I am really excited!Oh,and do you have any idea why poptropica was under mantainence for these few nights?

    Reply

  56. How do I get more credits after I beat all the quests and without purchasing credits?

    ST: The only 2 ways of getting Poptropica credits are completing islands and purchasing them with real money (1 US cent = 1 credit). If you don’t want to purchase, then you’ll have to wait until the next island comes out, sorry. 😉

  67. This is for Scary tomato. Why does this blog have the wrong time?

  72. Hi PHB! You guys are awesome and so is your blog! I have a question, though. Codien, could you tell me what program you use to make the headers and other images? I want to make some for my blog, but I don’t have the right stuff to make cool images.

    Reply

    1. I don’t truthfully know, but you can make banners and stuff using a program called Photoshop. My cousin has it and its pretty cool! Although, it has a high cost of over a hundred dollars! You may want to look around a bit before you decide to buy it. Hope this helped! 🙂

  74. Y is there a tiny smiley face at the bottom left corner of the screen ❓

      2. I think he looked up Codien on Yahoo or something and it was an account at Metacafe with Poptropica videos, and it said his name was Paul. And from Australia (which we know), where the kangaroos are (wow, isn’t that obvious).
