Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel (Ad)

November 8, 2012November 10, 2012 Slanted Fish

There’s a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid ad game for the 7th book in the series, titled The Third Wheel and written by Poptropica Creator Jeff Kinney. (Also, if you want more wimpy-themed prizes, enter the promo code wimpy2012. Click here for more info.)

The book comes out on November 13th! Thanks to Samwow5 for the picture above and walkthrough help.

To play the game, go inside and talk to Greg. You’ll need to help Greg dance so that he can pass Phys-Ed class. Watch his moves, then copy them with the keyboard or mouse when it’s your turn.

Once you win, you’ll get the Greg Dance Outfit (boys)/Wimpy Girl Dance Outfit (girls) and Silly Dance Power. Happy dancing… and don’t trip! 😛

Nintendo DS Game

Embark on your Poptropica Adventures starting… now! (DS Game Released)

November 7, 2012November 10, 2012 Slanted Fish

That’s right! After months of anticipation, Poptropica Adventures for the Nintendo DS is now available and ready to rock your world. Or three islands of it, at least.

For US$29.99, you can buy the video game from retailers such as Best Buy, Toys’R’Us, or GameStop. If you can’t find it in a local store, there’s also Amazon.com, where you can order online and have it shipped to your address, especially if you live outside of the US. The purchase comes with a code for two new costumes you can unlock on Poptropica!

Hopefully we will have a walkthrough for this game on this blog soon! Anyone is welcome to help contribute as always. (Update: Our guide is now up! Thanks Blake!) If you have the game or tried it already, let us know what you think! 😀

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island, Skullduggery Island, Store

Charlie bit my finger, I mean, my candy bar!

November 1, 2012April 6, 2015 Slanted Fish

There’s some new additions to the Poptropica map! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island is now listed as coming soon, and Skullduggery Island was pushed to the front page to advertise its upcoming book.

EDIT: You can now read the first two chapters of Skullduggery Island for free on FunBrain, Poptropica’s sister site. Also, to watch the trailer video – click here!

Strangely though, Astro-Knights Island doesn’t have that as well, even though it’s also getting its own novel.

Halloween may be over, but there’s still a treat in store. Literally. Maybe wearing a giant chocolate bar costume will put you in the mood for the upcoming Charlie & the Chocolate Factory island. Get the Candy Bar in the Store, 75 credits or free for members! 😀 (Thanks, Mad Tornado.)
