A Wrinkle on Poptropica

Hello, everyone! Lucky Joker popping in to show you a pretty rad ad on Poptropica Original.

The temporary game this time around is a multistage game for the upcoming movie, A Wrinkle in Time — which is based on the 1962 fantasy novel from the Time Quintet series by Madeleine L’Engle.

Okay, enough for your history lesson. Let’s pop into it, shall we?

Go on in and speak to Mrs. Who. She’ll send us off on a quest that will help Meg save her father.

First, we need to find Mrs. Whatsit, who’s somewhere on the planet Uriel. This task can be easily accomplished.

Just run straight ahead to the right, and climb up the rope. Run to the left and jump up to the next level. Run to the right, jump up again, and then run to the left and… tada! You found her! Now it’s off to the dark planet, Camazotz.

Woah! Kids who are all bouncing their bouncy balls in unison! Isn’t that a spectacle?

Anyways, here, you need to trace the light to find Mrs. Which. This task is also a very simple one.

Just follow the orange light trails until you make your way to the top right corner of the scene. Congrats, you’re finished!

The two prizes you earn from completing the ad include a Mrs. Power card as well as your very own Teleporting Spectacles — epic!

A Wrinkle in Time hits the big screen, March 9th, in the US. Anyone plan on seeing it?

Well, that about wraps this post up. Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one.

Some of these were pretty difficult! How many did you end up finding?

PHB Special: Pop the Difference, Round 2

Hello, Poptropicans!

Lucky Joker here with a Pop the Difference special for you guys. It was over a year ago that I posted the original Pop the Difference special, so I thought I would do another one.

Down below are four pairs of Poptropica images, and each pair contains ten differences. Some differences may be obvious and easy to spot, while others may be more obscure — so look carefully! Let’s see how many you can find… Good luck!

1) Harbor Prison Hunt

So how many could you find?

Send in your answers to [email protected] or in a private message to me, Lucky Joker, on Discord, because the first person to correctly spot all forty differences (ten in each) will receive a 3-month membership — it costs you nothing (except the time you’ll spend looking for the differences 😉 )! Two runner-ups will also each receive a 1-month membership, courtesy of the Poptropica Creators.

By the way, don’t be afraid to utilize the comments section to help each other out. But note that you’ll need to contact me personally in order to be eligible for prizes.

Answers and winners will be revealed next week.

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one.

Calling all Poptropicans for… the 2018 PHB Readers’ Survey!

Hello, Poptropicans — it’s Lucky Joker here to announce the 2018 PHB Readers’ Survey!

phb survey 2018

Our PHB readers’ surveys have become something of an annual tradition here at the Poptropica Help Blog, and we’d like to continue that this year: but we need you, the Poptropica community, to make your mark.

This survey contains similar questions from last year to help us see what changes have occurred in the community. There are 14 questions for this year’s survey, all about you, your experience with the PHB, and the Poptropica community. Your identity is kept anonymous, unless you choose to share it in the comment box at the end.

The survey is now up and will remain so until Monday, February 26, so fill it out while you can, to help us all understand our community better!

phb survey 2018 click here

We want your input so that we can understand our reader demographics more, and therefore be able to better serve you guys—so let us know what you want to see on the PHB! Your thoughts matter to us.

The results will be posted here in March, so be on the lookout for that. Now what are you waiting for? Fill out the survey now! Did I mention that you should fill out the survey? 😉

That’s it for now! Thanks for being awesome. Talk to you in the next one.

Community Celebrity: Sporty Boa

Hello, everyone — Lucky Joker here, and welcome to Community Celebrities!

Community Celebrities is a PHB series where Poptropica community members get to be in the spotlight for their involvement in the community, by being interviewed here on the PHB so fellow Poptropicans can get to know them a bit more. (Find out how to be the next Community Celebrity at the end of this interview!)

Today’s Poptropica personage is Sporty Boa! Sporty Boa blogs actively over on his own site, Sporty Boa Blog, and has been doing so for just over a year now! Let’s get into the interview to know more about this committed Poptropican.


Welcome, Sporty Boa! Could you introduce yourself to everyone?

Hey everyone! I’m Sporty Boa, an animal-loving, laid-back teen who loves blogging and Poptropica! I guess some of you already knew that… Well, do you know I have two cats, a hummingbird, an unnatural hate for Myron Van Buren, phasmophobia, an annoying roommate, a bo staff, and a brother who’s an author here? No?… *breathes heavily* Maybe? Great!

Who is your favorite Poptropica character?

I have two all-time favorite characters from Poptropica, but there so many amazing choices! I’ll have to stick with Harold Mews from Cryptids Island and my boy, Director D!

What’s the best memory you have while playing Poptropica?

Ha! Without a doubt, the Jersey Devil jumpscare. I was either playing or watching with my siblings on the edge of my rolly-chair as we made our way through the (way too) creepy house of Mother Leeds. We made our way downstairs and… Hello! There it was. Not going to get too into detail, but there were screams… and I can neither confirm nor deny they came from me.

What do you think the best feature is on Poptropica Worlds?

Personally, I really like the costume store in Pop Worlds. The separate pieces of clothing you can buy allows for more diverse and unique outfits. And as a “Sporty” dresser myself, this feature gains my approval!

Aside from the PHB, what other Poptropica fan blogs do you read?

Pfft, does “all of them” count as a good answer? I’m always on the lookout for nice, new blogs to follow. I want to have their backs, just as the community did for me when I started blogging!

In your opinion, what’s the best thing about the Poptropica community?

I know, I know, this is pretty cliche, but: the people. The Poptropica community, in particular, has such an abundance of kind and unique characters and I’m both happy and honored to be among them.

Anything else you’d like to say?

I’m just a kid with big dreams, big hair and a big fear of the Nokken. Besides that, I’m also extremely grateful to be here, not just on Community Celebrities, but in the Pop community itself. I’ve had great experiences here and hopefully more to come! Stay awesome, peeps. This Boa’s gotta bounce!

Thanks to Sporty Boa for doing this interview with me! It was quite fun getting to know him a bit more, and I hope everyone else enjoyed what he had to say as well.


🌟 Want to be the next Community Celebrity? 🌟

If you would like to be interviewed for the next Community Celebrities post, or nominate a fellow Poptropican, send a private message to me, Lucky Joker, on Discord with the following:

  • the name of your nominee (a Poptropica name or other screen name)

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one.
