Shrink Ray Island

Shrink or Swim: Celebrating Poptropica’s 20th Island!

The Poptropica Help Network is proud to present:

Is he trying to 'sea' whether this calamari squid can swim on land, or will it have to face the shrink ray?

Straight from the Creators’ Blog:

Shrink Ray Island is now available!

Poptropica Members have full access to the newest Poptropica adventure. Non-Members can also try out the special Early Access demo. Head on over toย Poptropicaย and see what the big deal is!

Well, the fact that it isn’t fully available for non-members was a bit of a disappointment at our PHC Countdown Party, but at least the non-mems still get more than they usually do – an early access demo of the island! Paying members get to enjoy the entire island first, as usual. PHB staff member ElmoPwns has already written a walkthrough guide with all the Shrink Ray Island cheats, which you can check out by clicking here!

Shrink Ray Island is also Poptropica’s 20th island! HAPPY TWENTY, POPTROPICA! (And to think I could have counted the number of islands there were on one hand when I first started playing…) They’ve just released the trailer video for it, too, so take a look!

Remember: Being tiny can be fun, but don’t lose your true self and size!

Time is shrinking: the Countdown for Shrink Ray Island

It won’t be long now.

Thursday, June 30th, is the promised day for the release of Shrink Ray Island. There’s a countdown timer on the Poptropica homepage so you’ll know exactly what time it’s released, all the way down to the seconds.

So using the current time on the countdown timer and the time it is right now in your area, calculate what time it will be for you when Shrink Ray Island comes to life.

Then show up at the Poptropica Help Chatroom half an hour ahead of that time so the whole Poptropica community can count down with you in anticipation of the island’s release.

And when the time comes… we’ll all play together.

You. Everyone. PHC. Countdown party.

Be there.

Rockin’ with Rodrick

Rodrick’s band could really use your rockstar voice to win the talent show.
Will you do it?

Fans of Rodrick and/or his band, Loded Diper (from Diary of a Wimpy Kid), now have the chance to rock out with them in the new ad for Rodrick Rules! Or does rocks sound better? Rodrick rules? Rodrick rocks? …How about we just get to helping the band?

Thank you to PHB readerย Electric Spaceship (theloudshark) for providing the video guide.

Flamin’Skulls 1st Anniversary and a Half Celebration!

All the band members were there. Tons of fans came and we had a phenomenal megaparty. We went overtime by double the time originally planned. The FS blog (almost) reached 20,000 visitors. Super Thunder gave the Multiverse room code, then Obiwan organized an attack on the walls and Xarr brought in the penguins. It was a flamin’ hot blast.

More details below, but for now, enjoy the picture.

Flamin' Skulls MEGAParty!

Thanks to everyone for coming and having a blast with the band! The Skulls – Popular Thunder (who brought in Super Carrot, the ultimate FS Pop account, complete with a torched body), Hijuyo (Silver Rock on Pop), Xarr (and his crates of Mr. Poppins’ penguins!), and ElmoPwns (the newest member!) – are really happy to have so many of you guys to celebrate with.

We want to thank the following for coming: MT, Obiwan2324, Shaggy Tornado, Super Thunder, Deathstalker, Raccoon Sam, Mad Moon, Coolguy123, Squeezy Monster, and anyone else who came to join our massive celebration on the PHC.

Rock on!

Old news is an oxymoron

One of the greatest things about the summer season: no school! So what are you going to do with all that spare time? Well, if you’ve found that lately your life has mostly been about sleep, food, and the computer, why not check out the new website for the Poptropica Help Chatย (PHC)?

chat.poptropicahelp.net

There are links in the side navigation, so there’s no excuse for not knowing the Rules, understanding the Ranksย if you’re new, and reading up on the Wall is just a click away! (*Edit: For some unknown reason the links have stopped working; will try to get it fixed ASAP)

Don’t feel too overwhelmed, the Poptropica community is a great place to be. If you’ve finished reading the day’s blog post on the PHB and want to stay longer, you might find some other Poptropicans online on the PHC! As long as you respect the people and the rules, you’re always welcome. You don’t even have to talk about Poptropica there.

The live chatroom does have moderators, so it’s a safe environment as well. So, whether it’s your first time at the PHC or whether you’re a regular, come check out the all-new chat.poptropicahelp.netย and keep using it!

Partyin’Partyin’YEAH!

On Wednesday, June 22, 2011, the PHC will be throwing a huge party to celebrate the Flamin’ Skulls’ 1-and-a-half-year existence. There will be Multiverse parties, rocking out with music, and more chatting! Hijuyo, Popular Thunder, and plenty of people will be there, and we hope to see you too! Depending on your time zone, this is when the party will be happening (if your time zone is not listed, check with a converter to see what time it means for you):

  • 10-10:30ย pm CST USA
  • 11- 11:30 pm EST USA
  • 8-8:30 PST pm USA
  • 11 to 11:30 am Hong Kong time (June 23)

CC: Uh, is the ad done yet? I have a post I wanted to get to.
Hijuyo: Seriously, did you have to interrupt? Well, why don’t you join the PHC too? ๐Ÿ™‚
CC: I… okay, I’ll say it. I’m afraid I’ll get nommed there.
Hijuyo: HAHA! Sorry. Nah, don’t worry. That’s more of a PHB thing. The PHC doesn’t bite.
CC: Really? You think so? *wipes tear*
Hijuyo: Eh, as long as you behave, you’re good. ๐Ÿ˜›
CC: Ooh! Yay! Sounds good. So anyway, here’s the post. *dramatic hand gesture pointing downwards*

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica, part 2

To celebrate the launch of our 20th Island, Shrink Ray Island, we’re counting down the 20 rarest items in Poptropica history.

16. Astro-Knights Medallion

Astro-Knights is one of the toughest Islands we’ve made, so it’s no surprise that not many Poptropicans have this medallion in their inventory. But it’s not out of reach! All you need is a little perseverance.

15. Goofy Glasses

Another treasure hunt item, the goofy glasses were briefly available in the sewers of Super Power Island. But if you missed out then, you can still get them in the eyeglasses shop on Spy Island!

14. Wild West Hero

All Poptropica Members who played the cattle-rustlin’ preview game for Wild West Island were granted this exclusive Wild West Hero outfit. But this wasn’t even the most rare item from that game!

13. Sunglasses

The sunglasses were briefly available on top of Pendulum’s lab on Time Tangled Island. The dark glasses will return, however! Players who get the Spy Island 3″ action figures will receive a code that will allow them to wear a Spy Agent costume that includes these killer shades.To be continued tomorrow!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH
Hijuyo: Haha, I remember those hidden items from oh-so-long-ago.
CC: Good, can you explain it to me? Because I don’t remember them at all.
Hijuyo: You weren’t even around then, smart one. They were released for a short while during August 2008. Yeah, pretty old.
CC: Can I admit something to you?
Hijuyo: Yeah, sure, Cap’n.
CC: I think I like the goofy glasses more. *giggles*
Hijuyo: Can’t imagine that. *slips a pair of sunglassesย over CC’s eyes* Don’t you think these shades are cooler?
CC: Hey yeahhhh… I look good!

*fangirls spot him, scream, and huge mob chases after CC*

Chase

ย CC: …Time to go.
