Mission Atlantis Island

Touring under the sea in Mission Atlantis!

Samwow5

Hey everyone! The Creators just released the tour page for the next island, Mission Atlantis! Like Survival Island, it’s going to be split into episodes. If you haven’t yet seen the video trailer which was released last week, check out BT’s post. Also, check out the PHB’s Atlantis Island trivia page!

Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff! 😛 On the new official tour page, you can view and download the Printable Poster and Desktop Wallpaper for Mission Atlantis:

Now we divert our eyes to the bottom of the sea where we see the description and the members’ items!

It’s a different world under the sea… but the ancient secret at the bottom of the ocean is beyond your wildest dreams.

I wonder what’s so different under the sea? OH YEAH! Atlantis is there! *facepalm* 😛

Now to the members-only items! We’ve only got one for now, but every episode we will get another item. The item for Episode 1 (Into the Deep) is the Diving Suit, as HP discovered earlier.

I’m really looking forward to this island! I’m personally quite fascinated by Atlantis, so this island will be my type. I hope we can explore the bottom of the sea soon!

I also have this sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind – I wonder if the Creators will release Mission Atlantis during Survival Island, like alternating episodes? That’s just my mind wandering, but who knows. 😛 Anyway, that’s it! Cya later!

Hey everyone! As you may have heard, the PHB just recently reached 11 million hits! We’re going to be having a party on the PHC & Poptropica this Saturday to celebrate, and you’re invited!

That’s right! Along with the upcoming party we had, we’re also hosting an 11 Million Monsters Raffle! Long ago – 10 million hits ago, in fact – the PHB held a giveaway of rare monster costumes in celebration of our first one million hits. The prizes were leaked Monster Carnival costumes, and you can learn more about the contest here.

Now that Monster Carnival is finally a reality, it’s time to have another giveaway — this time with rare costumes from the island, complete with parts you thought were uncustomizable! We’ll be raffling off 11 Monster Carnival costumes (see below) for our 11 million hits!

The deadline to enter the raffle will be April 4, 2014 at 11:59 PM CST. To enter, just leave a comment right here on this post telling us something special about you and the PHB, like what your favorite page is or how long you’ve been a regular reader of the blog. Also, tell us if there’s a costume you prefer from the above and please leave a like on the post, it shows you appreciate!

We will pick eleven lucky winners completely by random and email you the account info of the rare costume, so make sure you enter a valid email address in the email field (not in the comment field, so it won’t show to the public)! Good luck – you may hear from us soon…

Samwow5: author’s note

The PHB has been fortunate to get a lot of viewers and thrive under it. I remember coming on here every day so I could be inspired by the great PHB writers, and for two years, I watched as the blog hit 7 million, 8, 9, 10… and now 11 million. This blog has meant so much to me over the past couple of years. If I was stuck on something in Poptropica, the PHB always had what I needed.

When I became an author here, I was overjoyed and was shaking for days, so know this: I hope you all can be inspired by me and any other bloggers out there. Dear PHB readers, we couldn’t have gotten this far without all of you, so thank you. 🙂 As always, keep coming back to the PHB for the latest & greatest Poptropica everything! Thanks for reading, and see you at the party this Saturday!
