Hey guys, BT here to bring you contest news! The Poptropica Creators are holding their own contest to see who can create an awesome Halloween-themed Photo Booth picture! (Hmm…sound familiar?) Well, the details are given in a nutshell in this image below.

Entries are accepted from now until October 28th, and there will be one main winner and 5 runner-ups per each of these 5 categories:

Best Halloween Party
Scariest Photo
Funniest Photo
Most Creative Photo
Best Costume

All the winners and runner-ups will be featured on Poptropica’s social media, but the 5 main winners for each category will have their Poptropican added as a Photo Booth character, and their winning picture a pre-made template for all to see for a week!

Sound awesome? When you have your picture all ready and set, click the button that says “Submit Your Photo to the Halloween Photo Booth Challenge” above your template to enter it in!

And by the way, after you submit to the Creators your Photo Booth picture, why not also submit it, along with your costume, to the PHB’s contest for a chance to win a membership and/or being featured in the Costumes page?

Remember, you only have until October 28th for the Creator’s contest, and Halloween (October 31st) for the PHB’s contest!

The Halloween spirit is definitely in the air tonight, for Halloween is the week after tomorrow! After all, time flies when you’re getting spooked silly.

All Hallow’s BT out!

The PHB’s Total-ly-not-a-Failure Timmy Failure Island Guide is now up!

Hey guys, BT here to let you all know that Timmy Failure Island is now open for members for Early Access! As for you non-members out there, don’t worry, there’s a demo available – plus, the island releases to the public on October 6th (strangely, a Tuesday) according to Poptropica’s Twitter!

The written walkthrough with pictures is now available, written by yours truly, but if you prefer a video walkthrough from everyone’s favorite pirate snack, Captain Crawfish, here it is!

This island was a lot of fun for me. There was one moment that pretty much… stole the show for me; it made the whole island. I give props – I didn’t know much about Timmy Failure, and I was able to learn a bit from this island about who the characters were before I met them. This is my favorite sponsored island with the drawing style of the original source.

Well, in the meantime, here’s my ranking:

Yay me! XD

Okay you guys, have fun with Timmy Failure! And to those having trouble, don’t worry! We have a written walkthrough right here on the Poptropica Help Blog!

BT out!

PHB Sunday Special: Revisiting the Islands

August 16, 2015June 8, 2020 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I’m here with this little post to ~~self-advertise~~ tell you guys, in a quick little post, about my YouTube series, Revisiting the Islands.

Revisiting the Islands is about me, guided only by my memory of the island, revisiting past islands for nostalgia’s sake. Add in some occasional voice acting, some instances of snark, a few raging moments, and a few idiot moments, and there you go- Revisiting the Islands in a nutshell.

So far, I have uploaded videos for the first nine islands in the game: Early Poptropica – Astro-Knights, and I have Counterfeit Island and Reality TV Island finished recording and I’m planning to upload soon.

Below is my YouTube playlist of all my RtI series:

Besides RtI, I’ve also recorded my first impressions with new islands as I play through them for the first time. These are usually uploaded the same day that new island is released. So far, I’ve done first impressions of Spoiler Alert, and then Reign of Omegon – Careful What You Wish For.*

*Please note that with Spoiler Alert, I recorded it with my iPad, I forgot to record Galactic Hot Dogs and Lair of Thieves, and up until after Mystery of the Map, I had a really bad microphone from my laptop.

So, here is a link to my Youtube channel, and if you have a YouTube account, subscribe to me if you want! 🙂

This had been a ~~self-advertisement~~ report on a YouTube series I’ve been working on.

Timmy Failure Island is coming this September!

July 10, 2015July 10, 2015 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here to try and bring in some good news after the downer of the 7 sponsored members-only islands news.

Timmy Failure Island is officially announced, in, I shall say, in a unique way. Instead of the standard YouTube trailer, we’re given a short gif revealing an approximate release month for the island: September 2015.

There is an emphasis on the fact that this island is going to be in full color, similar to how Wimpy Boardwalk was advertised to be (as opposed to Wimpy Wonderland). Captain Crawfish also notes to keep an eye out for more “news, giveaways, and other great stuff” on the Creators’ Blog. I’m particularly curious about the giveaway part.

Although I have never personally read the series, I’m still semi-curious. HPuterpop told me it was about a kid who solves mysteries. I can see that working in a Poptropican environment. Can’t judge a book by its cover, so I’m willing to give this island a chance.

While we wait till September, please enjoy what I assume to be the product a bored Creator who must’ve been playing Silent Hill lately. And then decided to show a Poptropican version of a gore-free Pyramid Head off on the Daily Pop because why not.
