In other rather drastic news, we recently lost our Twitter account, @PoptropicaHelp, which was deactivated by a hacker. As a result, our Poptropica Help Tweets service will be continuing on a new account: @Poptropica_Help. Since we have lost our Twitter followers in this process, we would greatly appreciate your support if those of you who use Twitter would follow us. Thank you.

Create a Pumpkin Jack!

(Get into the Halloween spirit with this cool Jack o’ Lantern Creator!! *cheers*)

The Poptropica Creators this year have re-introduced the interactive Jack-o’-Lantern Creator that Family Education Network made last year. You can use this to design your own jack-o’-lantern by simply selecting and dragging various pumpkin parts onto the pumpkin. Here’s what it could look like:

With hundreds of different combinations available for size, eyes, nose, and mouth, here’s your chance to show your creative side for Halloween! Click here to use the Jack-O’-Lantern Creator on FamilyEducation.com. Once you’re happy with your creation, you can print out your original pumpkin portrait and color it in, or use it as a reference to carve your own with a real pumpkin.

In other news…

Great Pumpkin Island will be open to everyone this Thursday, October 14! Sweet!

On Friday, October 15, we will be putting up the poll for the 10 finalists of the PHB’s 2nd Annual Halloween Costume Contest, and YOU, dear reader, will get to vote on who you think has the coolest costume on!
Have a GREAT week! 🙂

Pumpkins in mind

October 5, 2010October 8, 2010 Slanted Fish

Halloween is approaching, and it seems that pumpkin heads are all the rage around Poptropica – whether fashionably fitted onto your head, or if you’re just thinking about that pumpkin patch on Great Pumpkin Island, which recently released to paid members and will be available to everyone on October 14.

But in all the excitement, the Creators wanted to highlight one very special “Pumpkin Head” costume from the Poptropica Store. Maybe you’ll like it so much yourself that you’ll wear it for our blog’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest!

Since "Great Pumpkin" is already taken, we'll call this one a very good pumpkin.

Want to share your Poptropican’s Halloween costume to us and have it judged? Win up to 1000 credits by joining our costume contest! (In other news: Results from the “PHB Loyalty Giveaway” [celebrating 4 million hits and 2 years] will be announced VERY SOON now that the PHF forums are back up, and winners will have their prizes sent soon.)

Good grief, Pumpkin Island!

Today on the Creators’ Blog, Captain Crawfish revealed the Great Pumpkin Island map – or some of it, anyway. We still don’t know much about the island, but there are seven areas – a lot less than most other islands, but still pretty cool! Here’s the image below. What places do you think we’ll get to visit?

And at the end of his PCB post, Crawfish hints that there are plenty of mini-games and adventures on GP Island that don’t appear on the map, so it’s more than it looks! The PHB has also updated its Island Help page to include resourceful links about Great Pumpkin Island, so be sure to check those out! 🙂

Lucy: no match for Pair of Kings

September 21, 2010January 10, 2015 Slanted Fish

Over on Great Pumpkin Island, one of the girls from the Peanuts gang – Lucy van Pelt – has decided to come join the scene… but she’s standing away from the others, complaining to anyone who will listen about how her brother Linus is ruining her reputation.

Meanwhile, if you talk to the boys, Charlie admits that he kind of admires Linus for standing up for what he believes in – the Great Pumpkin – while Linus himself is feeling more and more certain that this coming Halloween, the Great Pumpkin will be choosing this very pumpkin patch. 😛

In other news, older players currently have access to a new advertisement game themed on Pair of Kings, a Disney XD show. The objective is to make it through a cave maze and eventually reach the two kidnapped kings, who are stuck inside a cage.

Upon rescuing them, you will be awarded a Pair of Kings Outfit and Volcano Totem (which rains down volcanic rocks when used!). If you need help, check out Loud Shark’s video walkthrough below:
