Fall Back Home This September ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿงฃ

Hey, everyone! Gentle Dolphin here with a quick news update!

Grab your favorite pumpkin spice treats, because fall has arrived on Home Island! The spring flowers have shied away, and the once-green bushes have started sporting shades of orange. Man, the air is feeling a bit chilly already. Better grab some comfy hoodies from the store! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿงฃ


September may mean the end of summer, but Poptropica’s birthday celebration is still swinging! Don’t forget to log in and claim your sweet birthday gifts before the end of the month. ๐Ÿง

Also, you only have a few days left to submit your art to our Pop Sweet 16 Art Collab! If you want your work to be featured in our big birthday collage, please read our original post for instructions and send us your art by Thursday, September 28. ๐ŸŽ‰

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Hey, everyone! It’s finally Poptropica’s birthday month! The PHB has a gift in mind for the Pop Creators, but we need your help to pull it off.

Step 1: Draw a picture of your Popsona or a Poptropica character. They could be eating cake, dancing the Cha Cha Slide, or doing some other fun party activity. Save your character picture as a transparent .png file and make sure that it’s at least 1000×1000 pixels. Here’s an example I made:

Step 2: Upload your picture to the internet. Comment on this post with a link to your picture, which you can get by posting it to sites like ImgurDiscord, DeviantArt, Twitter, or Instagram. You may submit a maximum of three photos.

Bonus Items

Poptropica’s Super Sweet 16 ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿง

Hey, everyone! Can you believe that Poptropica is turning 16 this September? Pretty wild, right?

Check your inventory and you’ll find two sweet gifts with space bar actions: the Frosting Splatter and the Sprinkle Sprayer. ๐Ÿง

Do these items seem a bit familiar? Well, they were originally called the Icing Blaster and the Sprinkles Cannon, and they were prizes for a Magic Bake-Off ad game. At least Poptropica remembered their birthday this year, unlike last year.

Happy sweet 16, Poptropica! Let’s celebrate by drawing fan art, making videos, and even baking a cake. As for us at the PHB, we may have something cooking. More details coming soon! ๐Ÿ‘€

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Creators, Popstorms, YouTubers

Let’s Explain the Poptropica Iceberg! No Comment? ๐ŸงŠ

Good eveningโ€” or good morning depending where you live. Are you ready for Pop news? Let’s go!

Pop player KrishMortyJunior aka Krish made a video called “The Poptropica Iceberg Explained”. The 18-minute video covers each layer of the Poptropica iceberg, which details fun facts, Easter eggs, notable creators, and scrapped content relating to the game. Check it out:

There are so many facts covered in the video that you’re bound to learn something new. And we appreciate the inclusion of the PHB around the 5:44 minute mark โ€” thanks, Krish! ๐Ÿฅฐ


In other blog-related news, it looks like we can no longer leave comments under posts on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. We find that pretty suspicious, since fans have been calling for the Creators to update their blog, which has been silent since February. Instead of answering fans’ cries, they cut off one avenue of communication.

The Pop Creators’ Blog no longer accepts new comments.

What’s going on behind the scenes? The game still receives small updates, but the Creators don’t talk about anything outside of social media. For example, they recently shared a “Popstorm” tutorial on drawing a planet using artwork from Galactic Hot Dogs. It’s neat but nothing substantial, even with the Gatorade joke in the caption.

Poptropica is definitely in a weird state. At least fans like Krish are able to keep the game alive. If you want to talk to fellow fans, come join us over on our Discord server,ย the Poptropica Help Chat (for ages 13+).

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Clubhouse

Clubhouse Tour: Gentle Dolphin ๐Ÿก๐Ÿฌ

Hey, Poptropicans! I’m Gentle Dolphin, and welcome to my clubhouse! This humble abode is where I go when I’m not out exploring or getting the latest scoop. The flowers outside look absolutely lovely! ๐ŸŒน๐ŸŒท

Come on in! Follow me to the right and enter my “bedroom“. I put my bed near the door so I can go right to sleep after a long day, but my plushie collection kind of gets in the way. I didn’t fully think this through. ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿงธ

Above my bed, you’ll find my little study. Here, I like to draw pictures and write PHB posts. The most notable part of the room is the large bookcase, displaying various books and trinkets. Look! My cat, Amy, is here! Say hello to her!๐Ÿ˜บ

After work, I like to chill in the living room. It’s pretty simple with a couch, a radio, and some stuff for my pets. Speaking of pets, here’s another one of mine: Pupperoni the wolf! He’s big and lovable, if a little chaotic. ๐Ÿบ

Feeling hungry? Go up and grab a snack in the kitchen. There’s some fruit, hot tea, and dark chocolate cake readily available. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿซ–๐Ÿฐ

The third floor hosts a large collection of Pop memorabilia from my journeys. A mini Poptropica blimp, figures of friends and foes, a big red rocket ship, a Goofball mural, and some Grapple-Pap decorations, just to name a few. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿš€

Finally, come with me to my secret magic garden! โœจ๐Ÿชด Well, it at least looks magical. My baby alicorn, Cool Whip, loves the decorations in this room. I was worried about Cool Whip getting sick by eating succulents, but I learned that unicorn horns can detect poison. She’ll be fine. ๐Ÿฆ„

I hope you enjoyed my clubhouse tour. If you liked this, feel free to check out the otherย clubhouse tours we’ve covered. If you want to share your clubhouse, you can send it in as a guest post! Find out more on ourย Write for the PHBย page.

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!
