Cozy Clubhouse Tour: Slanted Fish ✨

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, welcome back to Slanted Fish’s clubhouse!

You might have seen my other crib with its displays of mystical objects, but this time we’ll be visiting another room within my aquarium home sweet home. Come on in! Let’s turn the mood lights on.

Can I get you something to drink? A hot beverage is always nice, and we have some bites in the fridge too. Don’t mind Mr. Fantastic Fox over there — he just keeps guard over the valuables in the safe and guzzles away at the snacks. Sometimes you can catch him dancing to the beats playing upstairs in the AV entertainment corner!

Across from the kitchen on the other side, you’ll find a comfy nap spot, complete with a curtain cover to block out the outside world. Great for climbing into bed without climbing up anywhere!

Meanwhile, on the floor above, the pets have their chill-out space too. My kitty, El Mustachio Venti, quite likes curling up in the basket—when the armadillo doesn’t beat her to it.

Further up, you’ll find my inflatable Poptropica blimp! You know you’re in the halls of a Poptropica explorer when you see one of these. Elsewhere, there’s an assortment of knickknacks I’ve collected over my travels, from adventuresome animals to hoards of books.

Now we get into the sanctuary—the bedroom proper! This is the place for lounging around in bed, watching the jellyfish float or seeing what’s on TV. Plus, I’m a proud plant parent and always looking to collect more greenery. And hey, my rainbow sweater matches the popsicle pic!

Finally, off to the top right, we have a little corner of madness. Who makes the best pose: me, the dragon, or the wild Venus flytrap?

That’s it for this cozy clubhouse tour. It’s been fun having you over, and you’re welcome back anytime! To visit in-game, add me on Poptropica (username: slantedfish) and click “Visit” next to my name (Friendly Fish) on your friends list.

By the way, you can share your clubhouse with readers of this blog by sending in a guest post! Find out more on our Write for the PHB page.

See you next time on Poptropica Clubhouse Tours!

Pop Protip: Play the old islands with Flashpoint 🏝🔦 (Windows and Mac)

Slanted Fish

Are you wondering why the Poptropica map doesn’t have more islands than it does? If you’re an older player, you may recall a time when Poptropica had wayyy more islands on the map—more than 40, even! Where did they all go, and how can you play them again?

Clubhouse Tour: Pink Lightning 🏡

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Pink Lightning. Enjoy!

Hi! Pink Lightning here! I was busy going to school so it’s been a while since I wrote a post. (Last time, I wrote one on My Place in Poptropica!) Anyway, today I am introducing my clubhouse to you.

We’re starting from the pet corner! (Or the storage room, as I like to call it. But my dog DJ sleeps there, so…) It’s got a basket for clothes—actually, for old clothes that DJ will scratch and torture—and DJ’s bed. Because it is closest to the door, I chose to introduce it first.

And then… this is the unicorn corner. Where I enjoy watching cute unicorns and beautiful plants. I will imagine myself as a unicorn sometimes, too.

And then… this room is called the “I-wanna-punch-someone-in-the-face-so-leave-me-alone” room. This is nearly empty because when I am angry, I LOVE to smash things. But I have no idea why the chair and the plant survived. Probably because I want to leave something to smash next time.

And then… my study! My favourite place! It is where I read books and have some rest. I love reading! Do any of you love reading? Answer in the comments!

And then… the living room! It is where I have some golden pineapples and watch some TV. I like to watch the Poptropica channel. It is cool. Have you subscribed to the Poptropica YouTube channel? You should!

At last… my bedroom!!! Where I sleep between trees. The basket is for my unicorn follower to sleep in. I chose this spot for my bedroom because of the wallpaper. This room has the UNICORN.

Hope you enjoyed my post! See you everyone!

P.S. Does anyone else think that the Pop creators are being pretty generous lately? A lot of things that I thought should be members only are not. (Thanks, Pop creators!) What do you think? Share in the comments below!

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Pink Lightning. If you did, you might also enjoy other clubhouse tours we’ve featured. Consider sharing yours, too!
