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 ๐ Don't forget to be awesome!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid has released a newย promotional code which you can redeem on Poptropica! Enter wimpy2012 in the “enter promo code” box at the top-right corner of the Store to get your Multi-Prize Card. Thanks Josh and Shaggy Dragon!
As you can see, only the first prize (a paper costume) is available for now. When enough people redeem the code on Poptropica, we’ll get the second and third prizes unlocked, so hurry and get yours now! ๐
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! ๐ (Thanks, Mad Tornado.)
Just don’t eat yourself… and watch your thumb, Linus…
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. ๐
In other news, Green Boa resigned from the PHB today to focus on his future. We’ll miss your awesome posts, GB! ๐ฆ 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.
