Night Watch Island

Suit up, wear hats, and let’s go to the mall… today

Slanted Fish

Night Watch Island is so full of free stuff, it’s hard to decide what you want! Check out the Carnival Costumes and In The Now stores for lots of great new costumes and some handheld items from the mannequins! Plus, you can even get a moustache – how awesome is that? 🙂

Carnival Costumes

That’s not all! At the Hat-o-Matic, you can design and wear your very own custom hat and even support your Tribe with it. Pick up a new scent at the Eau de Toilette and have it follow you around as you go. Get your face on the cover of a magazine at the We’ve Got You Covered booth. At the Sizzling Tanning Salon, you can even give yourself a tan. But don’t leave the mall without taking at least one ride in the elevator, ’cause there’s some cool music playing in there.

Keep exploring Twin Palms Mall to see what other sorts of things you can discover, and make the most of what it has to offer! There are plenty of strange things in store (and in tanning bed)…

If being a mall cop proves to be a challenge for you, check out our Night Watch Island Guide (with pictures) for the complete written walkthrough and cheats to help you finish the island. Night Watch releases to everyone on March 14, just two weeks away! Let’s go to the mall! 😀

Your favorite Poptropica Help Blog, of course! That’s who you call! We’ve got you covered (and not just the booth from Twin Palms Mall) with lots of resources. (If you’re not a member, there’s a demo available and the island comes out March 14.) Enjoy! 😀

Also, congrats to the top 10 finishers! Continue down the post if you want to see their lovely faces! 🙂  Continue reading “When there’s trouble on Night Watch Island, this is who you call” →

A nickel for a ride on a pickle

Slanted Fish

Welcome to Twin Palms Mall, where rocking on a solo oversized pickle with a marshal’s badge is just a regular activity, nothing to be suspicious about…

But check out that snazzy hat with the black flag! And that Night Watch Island medallion! Plus there’s a new icon in the top corner – a cell phone, perhaps part of your mall cop gear. Can life get any better? The Creators’ Blog reports that Night Watch is coming “very soon,” so stay tuned! 😀

Fionna & Cake video ad and costumes on Poptropica

Fionna and Cake

On Monday, February 18 at 7:30/6:30c, Cartoon Network is having a half-hour special of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake! (It’s the gender-swapped version of Finn & Jake.) Watch the long video trailer on Main Streets (such as Zomberry or Shark Tooth) and at the end, you’ll receive a bonus costume prize for your Poptropica dude or dudette. Thanks to Mall Manager Clown for the heads-up.

Boys will get the Marshall Guitar of Love (pictured, left) and girls will get the Fionna Sword of Hearts (pictured, right). When you press the spacebar, for boys, your character plays the guitar and hearts will come out; for girls, your character twirls the sword… and, yup, hearts will come out. Enjoy your post-Valentine’s weapons of affection! 😀

UPDATE: Check out the new PHB article, Poptropica: Game Review! It’s listed under Cool Stuff.

Poptropica island trivia now on the PHB!

Island trivia

Did you know that one of the original names for Poptropica was Poptropolis? What do you think of the fact that it’s possible to have a Poptropica name that’s the same as one of the islands? And have you noticed that Gamer Guy’s drink on Zomberry Island, Valley Rain, is a parody of Mountain Dew?

The Poptropica Help Blog now has “Island Trivia” on all our island info pages, documenting all the little things about Poptropica’s islands that you may or may not have missed. Even the island release dates and common rooms are included. Hope you’ll enjoy taking a look at all the trivial details compiled within these pages! If you’ve got any good ones you think are worth mentioning, leave a comment.

Here’s another good one: the inspector’s cottage on Counterfeit Island has a sign that (mis)spells the villain’s name in French! Bet you didn’t see that coming.

In other news, the “blog” prefix has been dropped from the PHB’s URL. That means it’s now PoptropicaHelp.net – shorter to remember and still the place to go for Poptropica help and more. 😀
