Hall of Fame, Super Power Island

Hall of Fame Winner: Sneaky Bear

Spotted Dragon

Yes, that time has come. The last Hall of Fame winner is here! As you can tell by the title, the winner is… Sneaky Bear! Her Poptropican is only 9 days old but has already finished 21 islands.

Well, the Hall of Fame is now over, but the Creators say that “the doors of the Poptropica Hall of Fame may one day open again.” This graphic from the Poptropica front page, showing all the winners, congratulates the “2015 winners” – suggesting that they may bring this back in the coming years.

Mystery of the Map for all & Poptanium Lightsaber

Spotted Dragon

motm available

Great news guys! Mystery of the Map Island is officially out for everyone.

If you get stuck, be sure to check out the PHB’s guide for a written walkthrough complete with pictures. And when you’re done, you can check your rank on the MotM World Champions Map!

In other news, for a limited time there is a much faster way to obtain Poptanium. When you visit Poptropica Realms, you have the chance to use a lightsaber, as a promotion for Star Wars Rebels.

The lightsaber allows you to more efficiently collect Poptanium by destroying a huge area, but this powerful tool will only be around for a limited time. So visit Poptropica Realms before the lightsabers disappear! (Plus, check out our Realms guide for more tips and tricks on Realms!)

Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame Winner: Lazy Pelican!

Spotted Dragon

Hey Poptropicans! I know I haven’t been too active lately, but since summer is finally here I hope for that to change! And yes, that means more BTS posts! 😀

Anyway, let’s get straight to the point. The second Poptropican for the Hall of Fame has been selected! As the title of this post indicates, that Poptropican is… Lazy Pelican!

hall of fame lazy pelican

“Lazy Pelican hails from Germany, and collected four Island Medallions last week in her successful bid for glory.” Whether that means she only has 4 medallions, or has more but is noteworthy for managing to snag 4 more this week is unclear from the post, but we asked Poptropica on Twitter and they’ve replied to confirm it’s the latter:

Anyway, if you missed out on the first Hall of Fame winner, go to our post on Dangerous Glove, who now is a guest on Night Watch Island.

Meanwhile, Lazy Pelican is now on the Main Street of Game Show Island.

As Captain Crawfish said, “Is that really a reward?” I’m not sure… 😛

And unfortunately, these Hall of Fame winners are replacing non-player characters (NPCs) that used to be on these Main Streets – Brave Tomato notes that Lazy Pelican now takes the place of what was formerly a girl NPC from whom she got her iconic pink star shirt from.

Another interesting note from PHB commenter Fairy Tale: She doesn’t show up for those who have already completed Game Show Island, since humans are no longer slaves to robots after the quest.

Anyway, you can brush up on the rules of the Hall of Fame (if you need to) and see if you get selected!

Until next time! 😉

Release dates, mysterious islands, and BTS images

Spotted Dragon

Hey guys! Lots of stuff on Twitter, as usual. I asked the Creators about release dates for islands, and they weren’t too specific, but we now have a general idea of when new islands are coming out! Knowing the Poptropica Creators though, the dates below could change.

At least it’s something, right? 😛 Just to recap: Mystery of the Map Island is planned for May for members, and June for everyone. Arabian Nights Ep. 3 comes out around July.

Now, the islands in the tweets above aren’t the only ones in our future. The Creators want your opinion on some mysterious new designs for a mysterious new island. Remember, nothing is official yet, so the island might not even come out!

Seems like their idea somehow relates to jail, judging by the police officers, inmates, and canines (“K9”, heh) above. Hopefully we will have more info on the island soon!

Moving on to different islands, we also have two other behind the scenes images from Twitter.

The first image shows a, uh, man-baby of sorts… *cough* and the other shows on old fort on a tropical island. These pictures are most likely for Arabian Nights Island and Mystery of the Map Island respectively. Post any ideas you have about how the man-baby relates to the island below! 🙂

Last, but not least, we have PopStorms 24 & 25! #24 is basically the creativity of a Poptropica Creator, and #25 was posted with the caption: “This character has Poptropica eyes and loves ding dongs.” 😛

That’s all for now!

Office supplies: books, concept art, & toys – check!

Spotted Dragon

Okay, let’s go over my check list… behind the scenes books? Check! Concept art? Check! An office filled with toys? Triple check!

Now, at this point, you may be super confused, but that’s perfectly fine because it will all soon be clear!

*cough* Aaaaannnyway… you may have noticed how the Creators have taken a bit of a break from posting behind the scenes awesomeness on Twitter. But just recently, the Creators have returned with some more great concept art! The first piece of behind the scenes awesomeness is some early concept art for Galactic Hot Dogs Island.

The second image we have shows a bookshelf, most likely for Arabian Nights Island.

A lot of these books seem like they would come in handy! These BTS pictures are also found on Poptropica as Daily Pops.

Last, but not least, we get a glimpse at life in a Poptropica Creator’s office.

So. Many. Collectibles. Creators, if you’re reading this, I wouldn’t mind taking a few toys off your hands. 😉 Looking around, we can see t-shirts of Poptropica’s greatest super villains, a cylindrical object beside it (a Poptropica pencil case? Hard to tell!) and a Mystery of the Map poster drawn in the style of the Poptropica book covers.

Well, that’s it for now guys! Anything on the checklist that I missed? Don’t worry, check back into the PHB soon for more updates! 🙂
