April Fools! #2018 #WeStillBlogGood

aprilfools2018

April Fools, Poptropicans!

Yesterday, on April 1, the PHB declared that, inspired by the Poptropica Creators’ rehashed blogging and frivolous tweeting as of late, we were going to change things up here on our own site. Over the course of the day, we released over 10 silly posts on our blog, replete with hashtags and cute pics galore. We hope they made you smile. And don’t worry—it was all just an April Fools Day prank. Did we fool you?

You can catch up on the badly-inspired posts by scrolling down if you’re reading this on the homepage, or by clicking the links below:

The PHB team had fun coming up with these posts, and we hope you liked them too. Some of you even commented with your own hashtags—thanks for the love!

Rest assured, the Poptropica Help Blog will not be going the way of the Creators’ Blog—at least, not like this—and we’ll be leaving the tweeting style to Twitter. We plan to keep bringing you quality content and staying on top of things—and we hope the Creators will, sooner rather than later, get back on that track too. 😉

Thanks for sticking with us. Keep popping on, Poptropicans.

It’s never too early for Early Poptropica Island 🐷

Who cares that this island came out forever ago? It’s a classic and we’re going to make sure you know it. Tbh, no new islands are coming out anytime soon, so nothing left to do but to keep putting out the old stuff.

Plus, you can check if you’re a top finisher—though, let’s be real, the whole world probably beat you to it.

Outfit of the Weak… 😪

outfitoftheweak

We’re kicking off our new PHB blogging style with a fun Outfit of the Week Weak: the Burnt Out Big Boy! Here’s how you can dress up like this sleep-deprived sucker:

  • Dye your skin tone a sickly yellowish shade with the Colorizer on Home Island.
  • Perk up a little with glasses from the resource manager on the fourth floor of Mocktropica Island HQ. You still gotta look like you’re a little alive, at least.
  • Down in the basement of Mocktropica HQ, grab the “SLEEP” eye mask and the sweaty sweatpants from one of the overworked developers.
  • Because you’ve still got a little decency even though you’re barely pulling it together tbh, put on a dress shirt from the Home Island clothing generator.
  • Try on a cuddly handheld toy like the Dr. Hare Plushy. Not pictured, but at least we have the decency to tell you so, unlike a certain mention of a Rastafarian beanie we saw somewhere

Rumor has it this is what the average Poptropica Creator probably looks like…

Srsly, is blogging even relevant anymore? 🤔

Yo Poptropicans, the PHB team’s been thinking…

Blogging is becoming overrated. Even the Poptropica Creators hardly do it anymore. So we’re going to take a cue from them and try out some new things around here.

We’ve been hard at work 💪 on some new posts inspired by the Creators’ Blog and Twitter feed, and we think you’ll like them. Stay tuned.

Bonus Items, Time Tangled Island

Get Time Tangled-up in Silly String!

Hey Poptropicans! The last of the March Prizes is here!

Head over to the unnamed building on Main Street of Time Tangled Island on Poptropica Original, to the right of Pendulum’s Lab, and hop up the windows until you reach one to the very right that has the can of Silly Streams. Grab it while you can—this week only!

As it’s the last the week of March, this is probably going to be the last March Prize. Previous prizes from this month are the Dr. Hare Plushy and Lucky PopGum, which are still in your inventory if you grabbed them earlier.

That’s all for this post. Have fun with the silly string (which, by the way, is also typically available as a gold card item in the store)!

Keep on popping, Poptropicans.
