A week away!

Shaggy Tornado

Did you know?

Legendary Swords is just ONE week away! 😀 Yay! The Creators’ have posted up a Legendary Swords tutorial to help us play!

Basically, the video describes Swords, Moves, and Health Crystals.

Swords

To view swords, click on the sword on the top left hand corner. It shows the swords included in the actual game and the swords that you bought from the store, if any. You can switch between Rusty Relic, Ninja Sword, Templar Knight Sword, and lightsaber ( 😀 ), plus any other sword that you might have!

Moves

The moves depend on how you move: run, walk or jump. It will show you in the video. 🙂

Health Crystals

The health meter is the big sword at the top. It goes down when you get hurt. To replenish your health, try to find a cluster of pink crystals! Swing the sword to harvest them. They go to your health crystal inventory next to the health meter. Click the crystal icon to add to your health! 😀

Where Was Dr. Hare?

A couple days ago, a new Dr. Hare travel photo was posted. The Creators have revealed that this hop-happy bunny’s location was Bueno Aires, Argentina!

And there’s another photo of our favorite carrot-nommer in front of the famous Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Buenos Aires. Where do you think he’ll travel to next?

Cabin Fever Ad

A new ad about Jeff Kinney’s new Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Book 6: Cabin Fever has appeared in Pop! (Of course XD) Thanks LS! (Also for reminding to give you credit :P)

You have 60 seconds to hit ALL of the Whirley St. kids with snowballs to get two prizes. One is a paper costume (similar to the costume that was released for members!) and the other is ONE FREE CHAPTER of the new book! These prizes should be incentive enough for you to play this ad! 😀

Have a nice/ fun weekend!

Game Show Island, Sneak Peeks

Get Ready for 11/11/11 and Game Show Island!

Shaggy Tornado

Lots of announcements today!

1. Game Show Island!

Attention Poptropica members and non-members! Members will be able to play Game Show Island TOMORROW! TODAY! 😀 We non-members will get to play a sneak peek of the island too, until it’s official release for non-members! Have fun playing! 😀

And now for the biggest announcement of all:

2. LEGENDARY SWORDS!

This all new Poptropica adventure is coming NOVEMBER 11, 2011! They made a page for it where you can see it here: http://www.poptropica.com/quest/legendary-swords.html

On a distant planet, a hero explores a strange land to discover a race of aggressive and bizarre robots who are planning an invasion of Planet Poptropica! The only way the hero can stop this invading force is by using a series of hidden mystical swords that are scattered throughout the planet. Driven by courage (and a little fear), the hero must stop the invading robots and their diabolical master; the mysterious E. Vile!

This will probably be the most epic quest ever! On the picture slide thing (idk what to call it :P), they show a Poptropican harvesting a “Health Crystal,” a rocket ship, a missile-throwing robot (which looks EPIC :D), a selection screen of swords, and a Poptropican and a robot having a showdown! There are extra things added to the page, like an announcment about the swords and desktop wallpapers.

Well, it’s October 13 (oooooooooh) and today is…

MY BIRTHDAY! (for real this time XD)

But that’s not what I want to talk about.

It’s the RELEASE OF THE OFFICIAL POPTROPICA GUIDE!!!

Yes, be excited! You can find in on Amazon.com or any other bookstore, like Barnes and Noble! And with this book, comes the SCAVENGER HUNT! When you find out the code for the first scavenger hunt, you’ll get an exclusive Poptropica prize, the handheld version of the game guide! Here’s the first clues. http://www.poptropica.com/books/ScavengerHunt_US.pdf

Title of Poptropica Villain on Pg. 45

Rank of Poptropica Villain on Pg 133

Size of Poptropica Villain on Pg. 174

D _ C _ _ _ _ _ _ G _ _ _ _ _

The guides, go in chronological order, so with a little logic and knowledge about Poptropica, you can probably figure out the answer. Know the islands with villains, and use the clues. (4th, 13th, 17th). Here’s a picture of the prize (credit to SG):

When you guess the code, log in to your account and enter into the PROMO CODE Box on the bottom right hand corner as one word. This step is important, because you won’t get it if it is split up. And one more thing. This code will only work for a LIMITED TIME! So hurry up and figure it out so you can get it!

Have fun figuring this one out! 😀
