Bunnies and chickens and friends, oh my!

Hey there, Poptropicans! It’s the middle of April, spring is on its way, and Easter is coming faster than a quick-footed hare. To celebrate, the Creators have updated the Poptropica Store with some new items.

Head over to the store on Poptropica Original and check out 6 new spring-themed costumes and 3 new fun items:

  • Good Bunny
  • Spring Fling
  • Unicorn Girlย (members only)
  • Shady Pockets
  • Cool Green
  • Cheesy Sliceย (members only)
  • Chick Follower
  • Egg Launcherย (members only)
  • Bunny Wand

Blue Tooth must have been inspired by these new items, since they posted this cool artwork featuring some of the new stuff. I look forward to seeing more art like this from the Creators in the future!

Speaking of new blogger Blue Tooth, they also wrote a post about making friends in Poptropica. They gave tips on how to befriend other players in the Blast-Off Arcade.

To friend another player, just click on them and select the “Want to be friends?” option. When they agree, you’ll get a confirmation bubble; all you need to do after that is click “OK”. With this information, you’ll become a social butterfly in no time!

That’s all for now. Which new store item is your favorite? Is it the colorful Egg Launcher or the magical Bunny Wand that gives people pink bunny suits? Please tell us in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Fun and games for pets at the clubhouse

Hey, Poptropicans! This is Gentle Dolphin bringing you the latest Poptropica news, so let’s kick things off with a fetchingย clubhouse shop update!ย 

The furniture store over at Poptropica Original has recently been updated with someย new items that should please the sports stars and pet lovers of Poptropica.

In this update, you will find sports equipment for games likeย ping pong, baseball, tennis, volleyball, basketball, and soccer (or football if you prefer to call it that). You’ll also find a fewย goodies for pets, as well as a new wallpaper just in time for spring.

The new sports and pets items each cost 75 credits, and the wallpaper costs 150 credits. Plus, they’re available to all playersย so that’s awesome!

Here’s a picture I took of my clubhouse after buying some of the new items (I apologize for the low resolution):

Also, there’s been an update to the Poptropica Stickers app on iOS! You can find some cute critters among the “Pets! Pets! Pets!” and “Spring Favorites” sections, including pet toys, elephants (Dumbo?), and flowers.


In other news, there’s a new ad for Disney’s upcoming reboot of “Dumbo” (yup… knew those elephants came from somewhere). All you need to do is to watch the video in order to get the adorable Dumbo Follower. You can even click on Dumbo to hear him trumpet.

That’s about it for now. What do you think of the new clubhouse items? Will you be seeing the live-action “Dumbo” in theaters next week? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!ย

Home Island, Snowpocalypse

The gift of love (and the Snowpocalypse)

Hello, you lovely Poptropicans! This is Gentle Dolphin here with a special Valentine’s-themed Poptropica update!

Poptropica has been showing their love for players all week. First, they gave everyone digital stickers and printable valentines. Then, they gave members exclusive February gifts. Now, Valentine’s Day is here, and Poptropica has more love-themed goodies for us!

There are three Valentine’s-themed prizes “hidden” on Home Island. I mean hidden loosely since they aren’t really hidden per seโ€”in fact, they’reย  kinda out in the open.

valentines3

First, go to the roof of the “New You” shop, and grab the Cupid Bow and Arrow. With the bow, you’ll be able to shoot a heart-shaped arrow with a press of the space bar.

Next, run all the way to the left and jump up to the platform above. You can collect the Valentine’s Shades, a pair of heart-shaped, rose-tinted sunglasses.

Finally, run to the right where the rocket is located. Jump to the large “Blast-Off Arcade” sign and pick up a red heart which will give you the Crushing Power.

Unlike true love, this giveaway won’t last for eternity, so act fast and grab these prizes while you still can!


In other news, the oh snow wonderful minigame Snowpocalypse is back! You will find the game in an igloo on Home Island. Now you can continue showing villains who’s boss in an epic snowball fightโ€”the most renowned type of fight. Go out and crush themโ€”and we don’t mean the lovey kind.

That should be all of the news for today. We here at the Poptropica Help Blog wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

PHB Sneak Peeks

The lost jewels of Poptropica

Hey, guys! It’s time to uncover some more lost items from the depths of the Poptropica files. Thanks to idk for sharing these gems with us on the PHC. Let’s get started!

Below, we have two jewels that could have appeared inย Nabooti Island: theย Lumbar Jewel and theย Third Eye Jewel. There are some interesting differences between these scrapped jewels and the final in-game jewels. The scrapped jewels have mystical names rather than just being referred to by their respective colors (for example, Lumbar Jewel vs. Orange Jewel), and they lack the strange inscriptions that the in-game jewels possess.

 

The Third Eye Jewel doesn’t look like any of the seven jewels in the game. It’s not quite blue or purpleโ€”probably indigo. On the other hand, the Lumbar Jewel might be the orange jewel that’s found on the Nabooti Monument; it might be in the game but not as a collectible item. idk said, “Take the exact details with a grain of salt. The item card data was never finalized, meaning some details are a little off, like the card’s background color and text size.”

idk also found a lost scene from Reality TV Island. He said: “[It’s] an image of Reality TV Island’s beta found in an old Viewmaster ad. It appears the scene was located directly to the left of the main camp and was called ‘The Thick Jungle’.”

If you’d like to see more lost items from Poptropica, check out these PHB posts from 2014, 2016, and another fromย this past September.

That’s all for now! What do you think of these behind-the-scenes glimpses? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Lego Island for all, new gifts for members, and costumes for the dead

Hey, guys!ย Itโ€™s time toย leggoย ofย ourย worries andย giftย ourselves with the knowledge of new updates. I promise you wonโ€™t feelย deadย after hearing about these!!! ๐Ÿ˜€ (Iโ€™ll see myself out… just kidding.)

Theย Creators have been busy updatingย Poptropicaย with new features and perks for all players. For example,ย Home Island was given a complete redesignย less than two weeks ago, and theย Blast-Offย Arcadeย wasย accidentally releasedย a mere two days ago! And now:

Lego Island has officially been released onย Poptropicaย Original!

lego island map

Itโ€™s been almost nine months since the previous island, Greek Sea Odyssey, was released to players onย Poptropicaย Worlds. Now, for the first time in forever, a new island has appeared, and onย Poptropicaย Original nonetheless. We showed you unofficial sneak peeks before, and now you can access Lego Island from the map on Pop Original.

At this point, Lego Island consists of a Main Street scene containing three ads, each advertising a different Lego product. The three ads that are currently on Lego Island are for LEGO Boost, LEGOย Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, and LEGO Friends. The ads for Boost and Ninjago have already appeared before on Poptropica Original.

On the far right, you will find the ad for LEGO Boost. All you need to do is watch the video to get a Robot Cat Follower.

The ad to the right is for theย LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzuย series. Go inside and talk to Zane to start the mini-game.ย Repeatedly click your mouse to jump over the obstacles on the ground, and release to avoid the ones from above.

After completing the mini-game, you will win two awesome prizes: a Shadow Ninja costume and a Dragon Follower!

The ad on the far right is for LEGO Friends. Enter the building and talk to Stephanie to start the mini-game, which is a scavenger hunt. Your goal is to find the eleven items on your checklist.

After finding all eleven items, you will receive two items of your own: a Wind Surfboard and a Wave Runner.

These are the only ads on Lego Island at the moment. A recent post on the Creators’ Blog encouraged fans to check the island often as new items are added. It’s likely that more ads will appear and replace already existing adsย on the island as updates come and go. If you’re paid member, you get to keep your prizes even after the ad campaigns end.


Speaking of paid members,ย aย new trio of member gifts have arrivedย just in time for November! As always, members willย automaticallyย receive these gifts upon logging intoย Poptropicaย Original. This month, members will receive aย Wolf Costume, andย Sheep Costume, and aย Scarecrow Costume.ย ย 

november_member_gifts

One thing I want to mention is that these costumes are accessed through theย Costumizer. This time, members can pick and choose what pieces of the costume they want to wear,ย as opposed toย the whole costumeย being put onto the player.ย (Donโ€™t worry, non-members. You can get the Wolf Costume by using this ASG.ย ๐Ÿ˜‰ย )ย ย 


Last but not least, the Creatorsโ€™ Blog celebrated Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)ย withย a celebratory postย onย Novemberย 2. The post contained aย brief description of the Mexican holiday along with its origins and traditions.

diadelosmuertos

If you like the costumes shown in the picture, you can get them for free in the store. The girls’ costume was designed by our very own Lucky Joker, the winner of Poptropica’s Halloween costume design contest! Be sure to get these costumes before the next store update comes and takes them away to the afterlife…

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!
