Pop Petition: Trading Cards for Iconic Poptropica Characters 🃏

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Rough Clown. Enjoy!

Hey guys! I’m Rough Clown, and I wanted to talk about trading cards in this post. When I first saw the Mighty Action Force cards in PoptropiCon Island, I thought they were really cool.

I feel like it would be so cool if Poptropica made their own trading cards — except, instead of the fictional characters from PoptropiCon island, it would be all of the well-known characters in all of Poptropica. For example, we could have trading cards on Dr. Hare, Director D, Black Widow, Captain Crawfish, Rumpelstiltskin, Tessa Turncoat, Binary Bard, Red, Ned Noodlehead, C.J., El Mustachio Grande, and Amelia!

I imagine these cards to be more complex than the ones in PoptropiCon, more inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokémon cards. Some of the characters could have the cool superpowers that they have in-game (e.g. Ned Noodlehead’s comic book prowess on Super Power Island) and some could have fun moves like a “Pizza Attack” for Red from Fairytale Island, that could do damage to other players.

I would invest a lot of money into these cards if Poptropica made them. Poptropica, if you see this, please consider making a card series! 😊

Shop and pups, even for little ones 🐶

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans — pop in for a shop and some pups! 🐾

For the fall season, Adventure Outfitters brings a slew of sweaters and hoodies to its latest store rotation. Plus, September is Poptropica’s birthday month, so be sure to log in for birthday freebies and join in the PHB’s art collab to celebrate! 🎉

There’s a new mission on the map: an ad “island” for the upcoming “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie“! Head inside the building and you can play two mini-games for a few prizes.

Talk to Liberty the pup to help find the six pups hiding around the headquarters. Simply click on their shadowed images peeking out from various equipment, and they’ll pop out. You’ll win a Super Suit and Skye Power (with floating action by pressing space bar) for your efforts.

You can also talk to Ryder, the boy, to help him and Chase through a city race. Move your cursor to control your vehicle, avoid crashing into cars and puddles, and grab the purple orbs to power-up and zoom through the streets. Make it to the end, and you’ll gain a Patroller Follower!

The PAW Patrol ad games are also available on Poptropica Junior, Poptropica’s website for Pre-K kids launched last year. You don’t need a Pop account to play on Pop Jr. Plus, the “Activities” section of the site has also added PAW Patrol-themed coloring pages, a recipe for shortbread cookies, plus guides for mask-making and handprint art.

A year after its launch, Poptropica Junior hasn’t seen much fanfare, adding just a handful of activities, but barely updating its own social media page. It’s interesting to see it get a bit of attention from the parent brand’s latest sponsor, but will the site keep growing and possibly nurture a new generation of Pop players? We’ll have to see.

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 10: Tangled in Time, Part 2

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Good day to you all! I am happily presenting you with the TENTH episode in Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! Woah! TEN EPISODES! I’m pretty stoked about that. Thank you everyone for your support! (Read the previous episode here or start from the beginning here.)

This is when things will start to get InTResTiNG. Disclaimer: Since, at the moment, we don’t know a whole ton of Zomberry lore, I’m gonna make some stuff up. Just enjoy! 🙂

Episode Ten: Tangled in Time, Part Two

The swirling through the light and color was somehow a lot less magical. They passed timeframes, saw glimpses of history, even glimpses of their own past, but it flashed by so fast they could hardly process it. And in— it could have been a moment, a second, several years— they were standing outside the 24 Carrot theater.

At once, Toothpick, who still had terrible memories of this place burned into his mind, jumped back and stumbled several steps backwards before tripping into a gutter at the other side of the street. He sputtered.

Toothpick

Ack! Sorry, I got a little startled!

Birdy helped him up and Pick dusted himself off from all the dry leaves and dirt. 

Clumsy Bird

I wonder if we can talk past us… wait— CAN I PLEASE PRANK THE DIRECTOR AGAIN?

Hawk

No! Come on guys! We have to at least get rid of the blueberry machine!

Birdy smacks her forehead.

Clumsy Bird

Oh! Right! Save the world first, prank later. Gotcha!

Fanfic: The Adventures of Det. Anna Gram 🕵️‍♀️ Case Four: Escape from a Familiar Lair

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Shy Wing/Silver Sword. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans! Before I begin, a quick note: you’ve known me as Silver Sword, but unfortunately, I lost my account, so I’m using another one: Shy Wing. In memory of my old account, I will sign off as “Shy Wing/Silver Sword.” 🦋⚔️ Now let’s dive into the next part of the tale!

(Start from the prologue, or continue from Case Three)

ANNA (whispering): “Shhhh! I don’t want the thief to know I’m here!”

DARK, MYSTERIOUS VOICE: “Too late now! My prisoner has helpfully pointed you out to me. You may have actually come in use for me, Axe!”

TINY AXE: “I…HATE…YOU!”

ANNA: “What do you even want her for?!”
