Hey everyone! HP and I were looking behind the scenes and found Arabian Nights: Episode 1’s name & much more about the island! The name is: How Bazaar.

The name is so suitable to this island from what we’ve seen. Some recent Daily Pops have been showing a market, which in the Middle East is called a bazaar.

Whattya Buyin: Got some good things on sale, stranger.

The sneak peek description above tells us we are strangers to the area, which goes with the pitch given by the CYDI contest winner:

On Arabian Nights Island, Poptropicans go on a quest across the desert to rescue a sultan’s genie from the Forty Thieves.

The pitch also mentions “sultan’s genie from the Forty Thieves”. Arabian Nights Island is based on the classic tales of Aladdin and the King of Thieves and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Now, let’s go back to the name of the first episode: How Bazaar (nice pun, Creators :P).

After putting all the pieces together and using a bit of reasoning, my prediction is this: You are at the bazaar and the forty thieves take the genie and you travel the desert trying to rescue the genie.

The Creators are making this island in episodes once again, so this won’t happen all in one episode. It’s just my prediction of the basic plot of the island. This week I will make another groundbreaking post about Arabian Nights, so stay tuned! c:

Poptropica Lands next week & Atlantis drone for members!

August 1, 2014August 2, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! Are you excited? I am, because two big updates are happening next week! As you may have heard earlier, Mission Atlantis Ep. 3 will be out for members next Thursday (Aug 7), and you can read my theories about what’s coming here.

The earth-shaking announcement we predicted has now been confirmed, too: the next version of Poptropica Lands will also be coming out for members next week too! Here’s the trailer video:

HP said in a recent post that he thought the blue hammer above was from Poptropica Lands, and boy was he right! With the hammer, we can now destroy and rebuild in Poptropica Lands (formerly known as Poptropica Labs). I can’t wait to start playing it next week! By the way, if you visit the link shown in the trailer (poptropica.com/land), you’ll just see a static ‘coming soon’ image for now:

In other news, the Creators also released the Atlantis Drone Follower for Mission Atlantis: Ep. 3! This follower is actually pretty cool in my opinion, but it’s only available to members, who can pick it up for free in the Store. The Creators also added in their post that “you can get psyched for the concluding chapter of the Mission Atlantis trilogy” – implying that there will only be 3 episodes in total.

Anyway, that’s it for now! Too bad these updates are only for members – but if you are one, I hope you have a fun time exploring under the sea and building on Poptropica Lands next week! 🙂

Mission Atlantis theories: a dive into code

July 29, 2014July 29, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! HPuterpop and I were looking behind the scenes at some of Poptropica’s code, and found some really interesting stuff about the upcoming episode(s) of Mission Atlantis! The official tour page currently says there will be 3 episodes, but we think there may even be a fourth. We don’t know for sure, but here’s a look at what we found:

For those who’ve played the island so far, you may recall that at the end of episode 2, we’ve just entered Atlantis. Sounds like your character wants to find a way home, though, but if Episode 3 is about the city of Atlantis itself, there may just be an Episode 4 about escaping the aliens (spoiler hehe) and trying to get home. Here’s what we know about Ep. 3:

You’re on the verge of the greatest discovery in human history — but an ancient intelligence has other plans. —description for Episode 3: Out of the Blue

So we know that in Mission Atlantis: Ep. 3, we find “ancient intelligence” – possibly aliens. And maybe Atlantis is, or contains, an alien ship that crashed – as you can see in the snapshot of code below, they were stuck for millions of years.

Here’s another look at some code to support the theory that the Atlantis you find is not the infamous lost city, but an alien ship that crashed. But who knows?

A while back, HP made a post making some connections from Daily Pop sneak peeks of Mission Atlantis to the markings were from Lunar Colony. Fascinating findings, huh?

Could the same aliens from Lunar Colony be on Mission Atlantis? Might we find Dr. Salerno in an alien ship? We know she didn’t die when she went through that portal at the end of Lunar Colony Island, and she actually looked happy with the aliens, so we assume the aliens are nice. Now, these are just our theories based on some things we’ve found, but we’ll have to wait and see what’s in store for us next.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the post! Tell us your thoughts and theories in the comments! 🙂

Poptropolis Games Island

Poptropolis is shaking again!

July 25, 2014July 25, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! I just went onto Poptropolis Games Island and I saw the island shaking! The island may be sinking soon… once again. The map doesn’t show it shaking yet, but if or when it does, I’ll let everyone know!

I’m pretty sure the island situation will happen like last time: the island shakes for a while, then the Creators make these reports about it, then the island sinks and rises a year later. What do you think? Will Poptropolis be submerged under the sea once again only to rise yet again? Stay tuned for more reports on strange happenings as they come.
