Hello! I'm Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). I'm a writer, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish 🐠 Don't forget to be awesome!
For Halloween, the Creators gave us a little trick treat – a spooky new Poptropica desktop wallpaper! You can click on it to enlarge the image. To use it from there, right-click and choose to save it as your desktop picture. 🙂
In other news, Green Boa resigned from the PHB today to focus on his future. We’ll miss your awesome posts, GB! 😦 If you’d like, you can say goodbye to him here.
We already have information about the upcoming Poptropica Nintendo DS game – see posts here and here. It’s called Poptropica Adventures, and now there’s a page on the Poptropica website for it! (Thanks, Fuzzy Bubble.) You can see it here.
(Warning: Cheesy female voice speaks in this ad/trailer video.)
Among the information on the page are: the trailer video (see above), pictures, description, where to buy, Poptropica wish list, E for Everyone rating, a quote from Jeff Kinney…
“We’re excited to bring the world of Poptropica to the Nintendo DS. We’ve picked three of our most popular Islands and given them a twist with exciting new challenges and storylines. We think kids will have fun exploring our world in an experience only the Nintendo DS can deliver!”
…and not only is all this available starting November 6th, but when you buy this, it comes with a redeemable code that gives you two free costumes! One is a lightning-studded warrior, and the other is a surfer, dressed in purple and with snake hair.
At the North Logan Pumpkin Walk in Utah, some beloved Poptropica Creators unleashed their creativity by building a pumpkin-based exhibit for Poptropica! Here are the photos from the Creators’ Blog. 😀
Too good to be eaten! And if you visit this Cache Valley display this season, who knows – you may even get to see a Poptropica Creator! 😛
Do you like it? What other Poptropica elements should have a chance to shine?
As we know, 4 new Poptropica books are coming out on November 8th, which is in a few weeks! To promote that, there’s now a Poptropica Books page which includes a free sample of the upcoming Poptropica Mad Libs book! Click here to try it out.
The top part of the new Poptropica Books page (see here)
There’s other things on there, including a list of places you can buy/preorder the new books, a message from Jeff Kinney also in a video, summaries for the Poptropica books, and even a link to the 2012 Poptropica toy wishlist.
Still, whether you plan to purchase anything or not, you get a free page of Mad Libs! So exciting. You get to: pick random words based on the parts of speech given, fill it in, and read your hilarious nonsensical story themed on Poptropica’s Haunted House!
So tell us in the comments, what did your Mad Libs story turn out to be? 😀
A new Skeleton Power is now in the Poptropica Store! It’s a gold card item that’s 75 credits, or free for members. Click on “I’m a Skeleton” to turn into a skeleton, or “I See Skeletons” to turn every character in the area into a skeleton! The costume comes as a head piece and body piece you can customize off.
Now that’s something you might want to consider for the PHB’s 4th Annual Halloween Costume Competition! Show us your spookiest and greatest Poptropica costume here for a chance to have it featured on this blog.
As for making it big – Poptropica just recently had the 500 millionth character created on their website! It’s another milestone this year along with Poptropica turning 5 years old and releasing its 30th island. Go Poptropica! 😀
If Poptropica were a country, it would be the third biggest in the world.
