Red Dragon Island, Sneak Peeks

Kanji: Secret Revealed

The Creators have posted a new video and it is titled “Coming Soon to Poptropica: Kanji Secret.” On YouTube, the description is:

A new island is coming to Poptropica! What will the name of this new island be? The kanji holds the answer!

And here is the video:

Dragons, patterns, and… some Japanese words. If anyone is able to read it, we could have the secret of the next island! According to our readers’ comments, it seems that everyone can agree that the Kanji reads “Red Dragon”!

Wimpy Wonderland Island

Twisted Wizard: click to start

Prepare to get Twisted!

For those of you who have already finished Wimpy Wonderland Island by now, congratulations! But for those of you who haven’t, a new challenge has now been added as part of the island quest, which means extra fun (or work, depending on how you look at it, but hopefully fun, right?)!

To get Greg off his video game console, you’ll have to beat the game Twisted Wizard for him! Captain Crawfish of the PCB described it as “three levels of ogre-zapping fun” and generously offers this helpful tip: You can rotate the blocks by pressing the space bar.

Happy wizarding!

Already completed Wimpy Wonderland? You can still experience the fun by going to the ‘Games‘ tab in your inventory and selecting the Twisted Wizard CD!

Smashing Success

Hey PHB readers! Just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to come to the Poptropica Help Blog, as we have just hit 4.8 million pageviews (and hopefully reach 5 million by summer)!

Last night’s PHB Author Night [2] was a smashing success, and although I was not available, those in attendance can probably attest to having a great time chatting with PHB authors and other fellow readers! If you would like to be a part of a Poptropica chat community, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) is a friendly place and an affiliate of ours. The next Author Night will be here before we know it, and hopefully continues to become a successful event!

See the champion, my friend.

The Poptropica Creators have a new post on their blog about the Daily Pop game leaderboards for the ‘brick-obliterating’ “Smashing.” Captain Crawfish admits he’s not doing quite as well the current top champion, Grumpy Lightning with his score of 1,199,000. Nice job!

The PHB probably won’t be posting this kind of post (Daily Pop game scores) much, since it isn’t really considered news that most people would prefer to see, but if you’re interested: it’s a reminder that scores reset at the beginning of the month, so you’d better get “smashing” if you want to beat that high score!

[Update] Game for another SMASH HIT? The Flamin’ Skulls Poptropica band is out with a new song – “Drawn This Way,” a parody of Lady Gaga’s new hit ‘Born This Way,’ written by FS fan Scootdaloop188! And this one’s about sketchydoodley (okay that’s not a word xD) Wimpy Wonderland!

Paper Boy Delivers Island Trailer

You come to check for the latest Poptropica news and you find…

A trailer video for Wimpy Wonderland!

A little late, considering the island was released to everyone over a week ago (and even sooner for the members), but it’s still a pretty nice preview for those who have yet to start their adventure in finding Manny. Remember, if you need some help, we have a written walkthrough here, a map here, and a video walkthrough here.

//This message was brought to you by the local paper boy of Poptropica.//

Remember, members who log in any time during the early access period for Wimpy Wonderland will get a special Paper Boy/Girl costume for FREE to keep forever, even after their membership ends!

Store, Wild West Island

Reach for the skies!

Well, it’s definitely a more creative title than “Hands up!” because YOU could be the next marshal with the new Wild West-themed costumes in the Poptropica Store!


Or if you’re a rebel, there are costumes for those against the law too. Mind you, they’re all a tad bit more expensive than the rest: the new getups are 100 credits each.

  • Boys: Lawman (bottom left) and Outlaw (bottom right)

So, get in on the gun-shooting action and get yourself one of these spiffy new suits!
