Howdy, Poptropicanos, my name is LJ! I’ve been playing Poptropica for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been blabbing about it here on the PHB for over 8 years. Wowie, the time sure goes by fast when you’re having fun. Beyond the realm of Poptropica, some of my hobbies include drawing, taking long strolls, collecting way too many cool things I don’t have room for, creating unique characters, and letting my imagination run wild in my daydreams. In real life, I tend to be pretty extremely shy, but online, I’m usually bursting with cheerful energy. Don’t be afraid to chat me up in the comments or on the PHC. Also, follow my IG and DeviantArt if you wanna!

Howdy, Poptropicans! This weekend we held our Open House Party on the PHC. Despite some hiccups, we were still able to make the most of it with the great community members we have here with us, both old and new.
Even through all of the slow loading and disconnecting from the Poptropica common room server when switching tabs, we had a splendid time sharing art, showing off our fairytale fits (including Princess Beev), and playing Skribbl.io — in addition to the good ole common room games of course.
Here’s a look at the awesome art that was shared in all the fun as well as my costume that no one ever saw because I couldn’t login properly (click to enlarge the images!):
Thanks to all those who attended and here’s to the next party coming in June! 🌈
Once upon a time in December 2020, Fairytale Island was announced as the first winner of the Dream Island Contest. (Congratulations to Perfect Crab once again on their literal dream coming true!) 🧚♀️✨
After just four months of sneak peeks and waiting, the island is finally here for all players (not just members) and the tale is ready to be told!
If you’re eager to play and need help on the way, our Fairytale Island Guide will be updated very shortly, ready to assist you on your magical journey — so look out for that. UPDATE: The guide is complete!
So what do you think of this new release? Share your opinions in the comments, and look out for a review from the PHB too! Thanks for reading and we’ll meet again at the happily ever after.
Howdy Poptropicans! It’s LJ here with a couple news and updates.
So Poptropica is on TikTok now (@poptropicacreator)… interesting. I’m wondering what they’re going to share other than what we already see on Instagram or the Creators’ Blog. Perhaps some nostalgic content? They announced their arrival to TikTok on their Instagram story with a slideshow of scenes from old islands:
Update: This video later became their first TikTok post, including a slightly chipper voice reading out the text shown on-screen. (Thanks to paris for the news!) The text reads: “If you know, you know. 2000’s kids definitely remember. Poptropica is still putting out new islands!!”
Next, another week has passed which means there a few new items on sale at Adventure Outfitters including a couple of classic costumes like the Rock Star and Little Demon. You can see the newly available items indicated below:
In more exciting news, Fairytale Island is practically here! The highly anticipated Dream Island contest winner launches for all players tomorrow (April 22)! I hope the creators will bring back the World of Champions map. I really liked that feature because it was cool to see where you ranked in terms of how fast you were able to beat the quest.
Don’t forget that time is almost up to submit your art for the contest. The deadline is tonight at8PM PST (9 hours from now), so hurry it up if you want a chance to win those credits!
Thanks for reading as always and I’ll talk to you in the next one. Pop on!
