The PHB 10 Million: Mystery Snapshot Answers!

Slanted Fish

In celebration of the PHB reaching 10 million hits last week, I posted ten mini puzzles of small snapshots from various Poptropica places for readers to have a little fun putting their Poptropica knowledge to the test by guessing where they came from. In case you haven’t had a chance to guess yet, here are the snapshots. The answers (and winners!) are posted right below.

The PHB 10 Million: Mystery Snapshots Competition

Mystery Snaps

UPDATE: The answers have been posted! Click here to view them.

Since its birth back in the summer of 2008, the PHB has, as of today, reached its biggest milestone yet: ten million hits (and it only took five years)! That means this blog has been viewed 10,000,000 times, and that comes from you guys, our lovely readers – so thank you very much for your support!

In celebration of this milestone, I’ve prepared a little game featuring 10 mini puzzles of small snapshots from various areas in Poptropica. Your task is to guess where in Poptropica they were taken!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Post a comment numbered 1 to 10 with your guesses. Have at least the island name, and put the specific location if you can – its name on the map or an even more detailed description.
  2. You can work together with your friends or other commenters. Help each other check locations, post as many comments as you like, and as long as you have a comment numbered 1 to 10 with all correct answers, you’ll win! If you prefer figuring it out yourself, don’t read the comments yet when you submit your answers. Also, copy others at your own risk (they may be wrong!).
  3. I’ll post the correct answers the following week. Those who have everything correct will get their names mentioned in the post! So without further ado…

Can you guess where these came from?

BONUS PUZZLE: Where’s Slanted Fish? (What characters is she surrounded by?)

Poptropolis Games won’t be out of early access until this Thursday, December 5th, but until then, CapriSun’s Roarin’ Waters is here to deliver two athletic challenges in a Kids vs. Pros Playground Throwdown! You can find this ad on Main Streets such as the one on Virus Hunter Island.

To your right is Gabby Douglas the gymnast, who you must match in three rounds consisting of a flip, double flip, then a triple flip. All you have to do is watch her tricks, then when it’s your turn, click when the red button tells you to, and you’ll do a flip! The prizes are the Super Flip Power and Gymnast Outfit.

To your left is WWE wrestler John Cena, who will challenge you to tug-of-war. Just click as fast as you can to pull the rope closer to your side. When you win, you’ll get the Flex Power and In-Ring Gear.

In other news, PHB reader Silver Wolf mentioned to us that the Mocktropica Island desktop wallpaper contains a to-do list in the corner that includes “Balloon Boy Rescue Island”!

Could this mean that the island being created in Mocktropica has to do with the one who floated away on Counterfeit Island, the running gag we’ve seen occasional glimpses of ever since? Hmm…

Slanted Fish

The Games are alive with the roar of competition among Poptropica members, who can start playing the 2013 edition of the island RIGHT NOW! Everyone else can play starting December 5, 2013.

Be sure to check out the PHB’s Poptropolis Games Island Guide if you need help! It has now been updated with walkthroughs for the two new events, Octopus Volleyball & Skiing (volcano race).

Also, congratulations to the Wildfire tribe for helping out the most in the quest to dig up the Games! As a token of recognition, a glorious Wildfire statue has been set up on Main Street. (Next time, Flying Squid… next time…) As Poptropica is trying to roll out ‘improved’ navigation for all the islands, you’ll be able to play Poptropolis Games Island with music, sound effects, a unified menu, and bigger screen.

Members, don’t forget to collect your bonus gear from the Store! It’s the same as the 2012 pack, with the Discus item and Plant-a-Statue power. The Wrestling Gear will only be available until the end of Early Access (Dec 5).

If you’d like to see who’s finished the island already, you can do so with the World Champions Player Map! Have you completed the island yet? Where do you rank and which tribe did you join?
