Howdy Poptropicans, it’s LJ here with another game of Guess That Poptropican! Can you guess a random Poptropican character based off a small number of clues? There are three levels โ€” easy, medium, and hard โ€” on the basis of the specific character and the amount of clues provided. Test your skill!

Easy

Poptropican 1

  • I can be seen on two islands
  • My name is alliterative
  • I have a villain sibling
  • I have my own store
  • I like comic books

Poptropican 2

  • I own a beauty company
  • I’m constantly searching for rare plants and creatures
  • I occasionally wear fashionable sunglasses
  • I have a beauty mark
  • I have attempted murder

Medium

“Poptropican” 3

  • I take on many different looks
  • I can help you with all your shopping needs
  • I hover
  • I am not a Poptropican

Poptropican 4

  • I go by two different names
  • I have my own Draw My Life video
  • I’ve worked on the Creators’ Blog
  • I like video games

Hard

Poptropican 5

  • My name is a pun
  • I blast lightning bolts
  • The quest from which I come from has never appeared on the map

Poptropican 6

  • I am a former child actor
  • I long to have a serious role
  • I’d like to show my dark side

The same rules apply as last time. In order for your answers to be considered correct you’ll need to list the exact name of the character in its entirety. The first person to get all 6 correct will win a drawing of their Poptropican by me. (You can check out my DeviantArt gallery for a reference of my art.)

So send in your guesses to [email protected] for your chance to win. The results will be posted as soon as the victor emerges! Good luck and pop on!

The Fairy Fan Art Challenge

Greetings Poptropicans, it’s LJ with some thrilling news about a new Poptropica contest! This just in: the fairy fan art challenge is now underway.

Thanks to IsaacEntertains for bringing this to my attention!

In celebration of the upcoming Fairy Tale Island (the first winner of the Dream Island contest from last year), the creators are holding a competition calling all artists who are up to participate.

The idea is to illustrate your favorite character, scene, and/or item from your favorite tale in the Poptropica style. All types of media are acceptable and your drawing can be as simple or as intricate as you’d like. To enter, simply post your creation to Instagram making sure to tag the official Poptropica account (@poptropicacreators) or submit through Poptropica’s submissions form. Easy-peasy!

The prize? There will be 3 winners chosen, and not only will the team of creators (along with every Poptropican who pays any attention to the PCB and Poptropica’s social media) see your work, you’ll also be rewarded with in-game credits. How many? That is yet to be discovered… Anyway, you have until April 21 โ€” a mere week from now โ€” to get your entries in, so you don’t want to procrastinate on this one.

Also FYI, Fairytale Island is set to be releasing the day after on April 22! How exciting… it’s not a dream (hopefully)! The wait has actually been pretty short which is a little out of character for Poptropica at this point, so that gets me wondering about the quality of the gameplay we’ll be receiving. I’m a little ambivalent if I’m going to be honest, but I’ll try to find some more optimism.

What about you? Will you be getting involved in the fantasy fun? Let us know in the comments below. Thank you for reading and I’ll talk to you in the next one. Pop on!

UPDATE: In other news, more fabulous masterpieces were shared on Poptropica’s Instagram story. Keep them coming, creators! I’m loving the frequent engagement with the online community.

Pop Protip: Hang out with Poptropicans on the PHC, our Discord server ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Howdy Poptropicans, welcome to Pop Protips โ€” your guide to the PHB and the many awesome resources available to the Poptropica community. We’re kicking off this series especially with newer Poptropicans in mind, to share fun stuff you may not be familiar with.

For our first Pop Protip, we’ll be covering our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat! The PHC is a fun and safe environment to chat about all things Poptropica (and more) and is moderated at all times.

To keep the good vibes going, the PHC has a few rules, which include keeping things kid-friendly, being kind, and no spamming (other than in our spam channel). You must also be at least 13 years old to join, per Discord’s terms. Breaking these expectations may result in a ban.

Channels host different discussions so that they don’t get in the way of each other. You can find the list of channels to your left. The PHC includes lots of fun channels, including #๐Ÿกhome-island for Poptropica and off-topica discourse, #๐ŸŽจpop-art where fandom art is shared and admired, and more! More details are on #๐Ÿ‘€survival-island.

A couple more highlights: the PHC includes tons of custom Poptropica emojis, from facial expressions to PHB staff to Ringmaster Raven as a cute birb! ๐Ÿฆ You can also give yourself roles to display your Poptropica tribe and personalities based on iconic Pop characters.

Every once in a while, you might already know that the PHB is likely to throw a party โ€” and that the PHC is a big part of the event, where we come together. (We might even have one coming soon. ๐Ÿ˜‰)

With hundreds of members already, what are you waiting for? Join our Poptropica community on Discord โ€” we’d be glad to have you.

๐ŸŽ‰ Pop into the PHC now! ๐ŸŽ‰

New stuff in the stores and art galore

Howdy Poptropican friends! It’s LJ with some new store swag for both your clubhouse and your next Poptropica fit, plus some more artist highlights form Poptropica’s Instagram. Let’s get into it.

In the newly opened Adventure Outfitters, there are a total of seven new outfits (indicated below) โ€” two of which are for members only. The prices range from 75 to 350 credits.

Albeit members exclusive, I’m glad to see the Lightning Knight costume back since it’s of the best costumes in Poptropica in my opinion. Now onto the Clubhouse store. There’s much more to see there…

The entire stock has rotated from the last time leaving us with 55 different dรฉcor options โ€” and the best part of all, only a mere 7 items are members only! Good job Poptropica. Time to start decorating! Perhaps you can send in your very own clubhouse tour.



Yesterday, Poptropica featured more fantastic artwork from fan artists on Instagram, this time including me! A cute comic redraw, a pop portrayal (which you probably recognize from Guess That Poptropican), an island pitch, a suggestive picture of Binary Bard after the glow up… it’s all there!

I love everybody else’s drawings and I hope the creators keep on sharing them; it’s really one of my favorite parts about the online community. If you want to view more from the past year, you can see them in the Fan Art highlight story on their Instagram page.

Welp, that’s all the news for now. Thank you for reading as always and I’ll talk to you in the next one. We have some exciting things happening later this month and you won’t want to miss it. Pop on!

Castle Clubhouse Tour: Invisible Ring ๐Ÿฐ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible RingEnjoy!

Iโ€™m back, baby! Itโ€™s me, Invisible Ring! I hope you enjoyed my last clubhouse tour because Iโ€™m picking up right where I left off. Nowโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve pulled the lever and switched my rooms. Next stop: room number 2, my clubhouse castle!

Welcome to my castle, everyone! Hey wait a second โ€” where did you phoenixes come from? Did you fly through a window or something? You need to leave; youโ€™ll scare the guests away! 

Another perfect landing, ladiesโ€ฆ that intergalactic E. Vile fight was tough, wasnโ€™t it? Wow, this is quite the castle! Hey, what’s that noise? I think it’s coming from up above!

Come on, phoenix, out the window! Donโ€™t even think about stealing any of this treasure. Thatโ€™s right, I see that smoke bomb in your hand. Go on, shoo!

Uh-oh… we’re not alone. Looks like there are other people upstairs! We canโ€™t let โ€˜em see us; theyโ€™ll think weโ€™re aliens โ€” especially me since Iโ€™m wearing a Pewter Moon uniform. I say we all get back into our ship and retreat right now before we’re accused of trespassing or something.ย 

What was that, a rocket engine? There must be someone else down there!

Hmmmโ€ฆ I guess it’s nothing. Whoever they were, theyโ€™re gone now. Argh, I knew those fire-birds would scare someone away. Oh well… for all of you that are still with me, hereโ€™s what the rest of my castle looks like. 

This is the royal library that Iโ€™ve worked hard to make look beautiful for this castle. Now with that being said, Iโ€™m tired and feel like kicking back and reading a book for a minute. Wow, I never read any books on demons before! Itโ€™s really ominous, but also very interesting. No wonder these books are considered hot reads.

Yikes, itโ€™s a demon! Did I summon you by mistake? I shouldnโ€™t have opened this book… how do I put you back?

Wait, youโ€™re not a demon. Youโ€™re just a tourist in a really convincing costume, arenโ€™t you? Ha-ha, whoopsโ€ฆ I should definitely put this book down and continue the tour.

This is where I sleep. Yeah, you heard right. You might be wondering why I would want to sleep on the chandelier. Well, why wouldnโ€™t I? This is way more exciting than a bunk bed! I think itโ€™s a smart place as well. If someone tries to break into the house, I can jump off and drop all the way down to the door right on top of the intruder. No surprises while Iโ€™m up here! Isnโ€™t that right, angel tourist? Waitโ€ฆ Angel tourist? How long has she been standing right behind me?

Huh, whereโ€™d she go? She was standing right there. Iโ€™m sure of it! Was she a real angel or what? So much for โ€œno surprises while Iโ€™m up here.โ€œ

Moving on! This is my observatory โ€” my study hall away from the one l have in my room. There aren’t any laptops in here, but I have everything I need to get all of my non-digital work done. 

Finally, my relaxation corner! Unlike the one in my room, this one has fancy treats and fancy seats. I guess this is what we call a first-class relaxation corner.

And if I need a break from the screen, I like to look out the window up top with my spyglass. Between the day and the night, I get countless brilliant views! 

Oh no, thatโ€™s not a brilliant view. Itโ€™s an invasion! Somebodyโ€™s trying to attack this castle! What am I going to do? Wait, what am I saying? This is my castle and I need to defend it! I need to show the invader whoโ€™s in charge of this palace.

Good thing I keep extra swords up on my top floor! Time to suit up and arm myself for battle!

Now, whereโ€™s that invader? Maybe he wants to break into this treasury like those phoenixes! Good thing I just locked my loot up in this trojan horse. 

Oh no, he flew past the window! Now heโ€™s going down to the front door! I gotta get down there quick!

Any moment now, the invader is gonna come right through that door. I have a bad feeling about this. Maybe I should grab a second sword from this wall to even the odds.

I hear footsteps… Heโ€™s here! Who are you and what do you want with me? Show yourself! I have a sword and I know how to use it.

“Hey, what is this place? This isnโ€™t Poptropi-con. Darn, I must have flown right past it. Better get outta here and try again.”

Whew, heโ€™s not an invader after all; he just took a wrong turn. Did he say something about a con? That explains why he looked like an invader. Iโ€™m glad thatโ€™s over.

Wow! Even for a palace, that was a royally eventful tour. Now that it’s over with, Iโ€™m gonna hit the hammock now.

What’s that? You want me to pull that room-switching lever again? No thanks, I had enough for one day. After all, I am the princess of this castle โ€” my rules, my castle, my Princess Amethyst costume!

Itโ€™s now time to go as visiting hours for this palace are over. Thanks for popping into my castle, and thank you to all of the poptropicans I met inside (whether or not you were caught on screen). You made this a royal adventure the whole way through.

That makes the first half of my clubhouse tour complete. If you enjoyed the trip so far, then stay tuned for part 3. See you later!
