The new island has been announced, peeps!

… *snickers a little*

Okay…? What is it, smoothies turning people into zombies or something? Here’s what Captain Crawfish has to say about this announcement.

Just in time for, uh, Christmas, prepare for the spookiest Poptropica Island yet! Announcing…

Zomberry Island!

One by one, the citizens of Eastman are mutating into something horrible. Now, the city is quarantined, the survivors are trapped, and ghouls prowl the streets. No one knows how the zombie outbreak began… but how it ends is up to you!

Zomberry Island is coming soon to Poptropica. We’ll have a lot more information soon!

Yeah… that’s a great holiday gift, Creators. Sending zombies into our path. Merry undead Christmas to you too! How about I send you a brain? Don’t worry, it’s fake. I think.

This isn’t the first time the Creators sent us an undead-themed island around the holidays. Last year, Ghost Story Island was released around the holidays. Now, zombies are going to invade. *sighs*

Oh well. Whatever the Creators throw at us, they throw at us. I’m excited to see what’s up with this island.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island

The gates of the factory are open…

November 17, 2012November 17, 2012 Brave Tomato

… for Early Access! That’s right, as of yesterday, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now available for members, and nonmembers can now play the demo! Also, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will open to the public on December 6th, the same day the members-only Oompa-Loompa costume will disappear from the Poptropica Store…

In honor of CatCF, once again, the home page has a few visitors!

The interesting thing about this home screen change is that Willy Wonka stops for a second to do a little dance before continuing running to the right.

Anyways, there’s no guide yet, but there will be one as soon as possible! 😉 Also, today, the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released (although it’s technically not a “trailer” if it is released AFTER the island came out… let’s just call it a video)

So have you played Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yet? What do you think?

Willy Gold Cards

November 13, 2012November 13, 2012 Brave Tomato

Today, the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory members golden tickets, erm, golden cards have arrived in the Poptropica Store- the Everlasting Gobstopper, the Oompa-Loompa power, and the Oompa-Loompa costume! 😀

Just seeing the gold makes me anxious… anyways, here’s a look at what the items do…

The Everlasting Gobstopper is a power similar to the bubble gum- your Poptropican’s mouth does the same chewing motion, and every once in a while, a random fruit will appear over your head, probably indicating the flavor of the gobstopper you are currently on. There’s watermelon, lemon, blueberry, and cherry

Moving right along, there’s the Oompa-Loompa Power. If you click on it, a little Oompa-Loompa will come to you and give you a peppermint candy to hold! Perfect for confidence and energy boosts!

Finally, my personal candy ~~slave~~ giver! And speaking of those Oompa-Loompas, you can dress up as one, too!

This is the male version:

And this is the female version:

If you’re planning to get the Oompa-Loompa costume, don’t procrastinate! It’s only available from now until the island comes out to the public!

As usual, the release of these golden tickets…er… gold cards (Why do I keep saying that???) hint to us that the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island release day is not too far away!

Are you ready to feed your imagination?

The Golden Ticket to Villainy

October 19, 2012April 6, 2015 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here!

First of all, that island everybody’s been talking about, Super Villain Island, is now available to the public! If you are stuck while exploring the dark minds of four of Poptropica’s most devious foes, feel free to use our Super Villain Island Guide here.

In other news, the information page for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now up! Here’s what the island description reads:

After years of silence, Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory is re-opening, and you’ve got a Golden Ticket. But when a group of misbehaving kids threaten to destroy Wonka’s candy creations, he needs you to save the day. Prepare to untangle a confectionary conundrum that’s full of sweet treats and sticky situations!

So… from the sounds of things, there are going to be SIX golden tickets instead of the usual five. Us, plus Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregard, and Mike Teevee. I’m eager to find out what will happen. But as of right now…

There’s no knowing where we’re going!

The desktop wallpaper and the printable poster gives us a very first look at the star of the show, Mr. Willy Wonka himself!

Holy hair cream, that’s a HUGE smile! o.o But hey, he’s Willy Wonka!

And here are a few more images from the information page…

On the info page, there are also links to buy the original book as well as the movie. The PHB also has a page where you can discuss this upcoming island here.

This is going to be fun! We do need a little light in Poptropica since the atmosphere of Super Villain Island’s release darkened it.

The Big F-I-V-E!

September 11, 2012September 11, 2012 Brave Tomato

Guess what I ended up finding in the Counterfeit Island common room completely unaware?

It looks like Poptropica’s 5th birthday celebration is on! Wow… five years already? Pretty cool! 🙂

The prize you get from finding the 5th birthday blue balloon is this costume: a little similar to last year’s cake, except a little more extreme with fireworks and all that.

If you want to celebrate this occasion more subtly (or if you’re having a hard time finding the balloon), then there’s a color-changing 5th birthday balloon available for FREE in the Poptropica Store!
