Slanted Fish

You’ve assembled your crew, bought the best ship that money can buy, and have prepared yourself a nice meal of crawfish and rum – but wait! You’re not ready to sail the briny seas until you’ve put on the Skull Pirate costume your mother bought you!

Just kidding about that last part. You can actually get this costume just by entering the promo code skullbook in the top-right corner of the Poptropica Store! So easy. Thanks to Meow for the tip.

This code, which should work for everyone, comes from reading the Funbrain sample of the Poptropica: Skullduggery Island book. Plus, you can press the spacebar to swing your skull-tastic sword around to ward off enemies! Fantastic.

Wow, the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island sure snuck up on us quickly! Who’s ready to explore the factory? Samwow5 (Tough Icicle) was right on the top of his game and quickly had the walkthrough all written, with pictures included. If you’re stuck ~~in a chocolate tube~~, you can use it for a little island help.

If you prefer, we’ve got a video playlist for CatCF as well. Members can play the whole island now, and non-members get a demo, but it’s out for everyone on December 6th. Sweet as Wonka’s whipple-scrumptious fudgemallow delight! 😀

Also, the third and final costume on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Multi-Prize Card has been unlocked! Aaand… it’s a paper clock tower costume. What?

Thanks to Samwow5 for the picture. If you didn’t get it yet, the promo code (which you enter on the Poptropica Store’s top-right corner) is wimpy2012.

And now, there’s a new line of toys for your collection: the Poptropica Pocketeers! Say hello to Dark Astro-Knight, Hamburger, Dr. Hare, or Lion. These 2-inch buddies can be bought at Toys R Us and come with a code that will give you an exclusive prize on Poptropica, just like all the other Poptropica toys.

Get one for your birthday! I just turned 16 on Thursday (November 15th), thus making me over the 6-15 range for Poptropica accounts. Am I getting old or what? 😛

Paper King and Queen, DS Game Walkthrough available on the PHB, and new books out… sucker!

November 10, 2012November 10, 2012 Slanted Fish

The second costume of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Multi-Prize Card has been unlocked! If you haven’t already, enter the promo code wimpy2012 on Poptropica to get the new paper king costume for boys, and queen for girls.

Thanks to Michelle and Samwow5 for the heads-up. If you already unlocked this promo code for the first costume, you can find the item card in your Store inventory. Just click on the now-unlocked “2” to customize from the new costume! Perhaps it’s for the Valentine’s Dance in the new book, The Third Wheel.

Poptropica’s been busy expanding their franchise, and earlier this week, they released their first Nintendo DS game, Poptropica Adventures! Here’s a shout-out to our friend Blake for writing the PHB’s walkthrough on the game, which can be found here under the Island Help page’s MiniQuests section.

On Thursday, Poptropica released four new books, which you can learn about on their official Books page. There’s Skullduggery Island and Astro-Knights Island, novels written about the islands’ plot. Pencil Warrior is a full-color doodle book, and Poptropica Mad Libs should be pretty self-explanatory if you’ve encountered Mad Libs before – fill in blanks to create nonsensical yet funny stories!

Oh and, don’t be offended by the “sucker” in the title… it’s not you! Just wanted to share a quick joke from PHB reader Daniel. Here it is.

Haha, hope that made you smile! Have a great weekend! 😀

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! 😀
