Get it? Zoom? Because they zoomed through Zomberry Island and came out on top?

LAUGH WITH ME, IT’S FUNNY.

Only 10 people get to be part of the elite Zoomberry group. And the first ten tough ones who survived the zombie plague are… Continue reading “More like Zoom-berry Islanders!” →

While the biggest news this week is definitely the release of Zomberry Island, some other big things have been happening as well, which we’ll be looking at in this post. (Click here if you need a walkthrough or other resources for Zomberry!)

Poptropica Adventures, Poptropica’s first video game on the Nintendo DS platform, reached the #1 spot on Amazon’s sales rankings for DS adventure games. If you haven’t beat the game yet, check out the PHB walkthrough for Poptropica Adventures!

Hark! The PHB now has an article all about Poptropica’s Fonts, which you can find under the Cool Stuff page. Learn about the main typefaces Poptropica uses and how you can download them!

Non-member access to the typically members-only Costume Closet will be ending this Saturday, December 22. Your costumes will still be there, but you’ll need membership to get them.

There’s a new ad for Monsters, Inc. which will be in theaters December 19 in 3D. Watch the trailer video and get a new costume! Boys will get the Mike Wazowski Hat and girls will get the Boo Costume. Thanks Mad Tornado and Ayman351! Looking totally spiffy there.

Oh yeah, the PHB reached 7.5 million views! Have yourself a merry little fruitcake!

Note to the above: If you took one, you’re now a zombie. Didn’t we warn you not to eat any fruit??

The countdown to the release of Zomberry Island is now on the Poptropica homepage! Members get to enter in just five days, which will be December 19th, 2012! Everyone else gets to play starting January 10th, 2013. Thanks Samwow5 and Ayman351!

Zomberry countdown

If you’re looking to expand your Poptropican’s wardrobe, get the Poptropica Adventures video game for the Nintendo DS, which will come with codes you can use to unlock two exclusive costumes – the Lightning Knight and Medusa Surfer! A great holiday gift in addition to a new island to play.  And if you need help, feel free to use the PHB’s walkthrough for Poptropica Adventures.

Also, in case you haven’t checked it out yet, you can visit any of our Poptropica Help Network sites with the links at the top of this blog, for example the Chat. Explore, collect, compete! 🙂

Zomberry Island Trailer and Goldfish Fun Ad

Slanted Fish

The trailer video for Zomberry Island is up! Now that zombies have taken over Eastman, an eerie atmosphere hangs in the city air as one by one, victims are lost to the Zomberry plague…

It should be coming out very soon! When it does, the PHB will definitely be prepared to keep everyone alive with cheats for Zomberry Island.

In the meantime, there’s a new Goldfish Fun ad on Main Streets. (Thanks Mad Tornado and Strange Beetle!) You can find it on islands such as the recent Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it appears that older players don’t have access to the new building. Inside, you’ll find two games!

Goldfish Fun 2 Games

The first is Jetpack Dash, which is an off-site game that takes you to Goldfishfun.com so you can compete there. The other is Space Race, and all you have to do is get to the finish line first! Move your character (the bigger one) up and down with your cursor to avoid obstacles and get speed boosts (the portals) to go faster. When you win, you’ll be awarded a Space Racer Suit (pictured above) and Flying Fish Power, which sends the goldfish flying across your screen for a few seconds.

Also, the Balloons gold card item from the Store has been updated with a balloon for the Poptropolis Games. Thanks Ayman351! With all this flying around, you might just escape being turned into one of the zombies in the quickly-rising army of drones who proved that you really are what you eat…
