Gasp, the Wasp in Ant-Man ad

LJ

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here, firstly, with an advertisement tutorial from Poptropica Original. The ad is for Marvel’s “Ant-Man and The Wasp” which premieres in theaters July 6. Let’s pop into it!

I was only able to find the ad billboard on the main street of Escape from Pelican Rock Island, so I suggest heading straight there to save some time. 😛

Ant-man Poptropica ad 1

Now here’s what you have to do: first, watch the video trailer; second, pick a character (Ant-Man or The Wasp); third, play the game — dodge all of the floating objects (which includes fruit, frying pans, and other kitchen items) by moving your cursor up and down.

Ant-Man Poptropica Ad

Once you do all of those things, you’ll win an Ant-Man Costume and a Wasp Costume! Who would’ve guessed, right? Anyway, if you tap the space bar while wearing either costume, you’ll shrink!

Update: There’s an “Ant-Man and The Wasp” ad on Poptropica Worlds too. With this ad, just watch the video to get the prizes: an Ant-Man helmet and a Wasp helmet.

Also, yesterday on Twitter, a Poptropican called Rough Bird reached out to the Poptropica Creators about wanting another “Create Your Dream Island” contest for the newer players. And guess what? Poptropica liked the tweet!

It’s a far reach to say there’s going to be another CYDI contest happening this year, but perhaps the Creators will at least consider it for the future!

Do you want another Create Your Dream Island contest? Are you going to see “Ant-Man and The Wasp” in theaters? Sound off in the comments!

Thanks for reading and I’ll talk to you soon… pop on!

The incredible inauguration of monthly member gifts

LJ

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here with news from the worlds of Poptropica.

Over on Poptropica Original, the Creators have started something called Monthly Member Gifts. Every month starting now, active paying Poptropica members will receive some fun item cards. This month, those nifty items are a Cute Puppy, Unicorn Head, and Shrink Power! If you’re a member, they’ll be automatically added to your inventory.

The Cute Puppy is reminiscent of a hand-carried dog from the original app’s Pets Pack,  while the Shrink Power was formerly known as the Minimizer (and available not just for members, I might add). The Unicorn Head is new, though.

If you’re not a member, you can still buy a membership within the month and these items will automatically be added to your account. Great if you want to get them!

Over on the Poptropica Worlds app, a Jack-Jack machine has been added on Home Island. Like the previous Zomberry machine, it offers more picture-taking fun.

As you can see in the GIF from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog post, there are three Jack-Jack filters to choose from. You can even take pictures with other people—and pets too!

Well, that’s it for now. What do you think of these little updates? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Thanks for reading as always! I’ll talk to you soon… pop on!

Get out and paint the big city with greens!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, it’s Slanted Fish splashing in.

As you may be able to tell from the funny title, there’s a mix of several things going on. Ads, to be precise. Which, on Poptropica, means games and prizes!

The first ad I found, on Mythology Island, is for a new TV show called Get Out of My Room. After watching the video, you can play a game where you match furniture items with where they’re supposed to go in two bedrooms.

Upon completion, you’ll win a Crazy Paintbrush. When you press the space bar with it, you’ll throw paint on the nearest Poptropican.

Get Out of My Room premiered on Monday, June 11 on NBC Universal Kids. Hosted by designer Claire Zinnecker, the show is about creating kids’ dream rooms.

Another ad is also making the rounds: Big City Greens. Once you find and enter the subway station, Cricket Green will ask you to help you find stuff he lost. There are 5 items in total, many of them hidden at the top. Just jump around until you bump into all of them, and you’ll win a Cricket Follower.

Big City Greens will premiere on Disney Channel on Monday, June 18.

Lastly, there’s supposedly also an ad for the Disney Channel show “Big Hero 6: The Series” — at least, according to social media posts from the Creators. I haven’t been able to find it myself, but their pictures show it to be on Mythology Island. With this ad, you can watch a video and play a game to get a prize: Baymax Follower.

That’s all the news for now! Stay popping, Poptropicans.

An incredible shop update and more!

LJ

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here with an abundance of Poptropica news for you all today!

First off, Back Lot Island takes the spotlight in the newest Island Highlight post on the Creators’ Blog.

The greatest filmmaker of all time has come out of hiding, and he needs your help to make his masterpiece. But will you be producing the next big blockbuster, or is there trouble in tinseltown? From the first frame to the final cut, it’s lights, cameras, action!

Secondly, the Poptropica store’s items have been re-filtered for the new month as the creators said they’d be. Here is the current stock:

Gold Cards

  • Karate Master costume
  • Island Wildlife – Dodo costume (members only)
  • Phantom
  • X-Ray Visor (members only)
  • Troll (members only)
  • Mystery Tain Inspector costume
  • Midnight Red Ninja costume
  • Classic Flavor PopGum

Costumes

PopShopUpdate252518

  • Geisha (girls only)
  • Cowboy or Cowgirl (members only)

As Slanted Fish pointed out earlier this month, the prices are insanely higher than what gold cards and costumes typically used to be. Although with the Daily Spin Wheel, I suppose it shouldn’t be too difficult to acquire the credits you need to buy what you wish.

Lastly, there’s a new advertisement on Home Island on Poptropica Original for Disney·Pixar’s upcoming movie “Incredibles 2”.

Poptropica Incredibles 1

Like almost every ad we’ve seen in the past couple of years, the game here is very similar, however, there is a little twist this time around. Like all of the other ads, you have to run and jump over obstacles in your path with your mouse, but in addition, you also get to blast them by pressing your spacebar.

Poptropica Incredibles 2

You have six lives which are represented by the movie’s logo. It’s pretty fast paced so you may have to give it a couple of tries before you win, but once you do, you’ll earn a plethora of prizes (and they’re pretty legit!) which include: an Invisibility Power Suit, and Laser Eyes, Flaming, and Jack Jack Multiply power cards.

Poptropica Incredibles 3

Well, that’s about everything! What do you think of this new-ish monthly shop update? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one…

Woot woot
Woohoo, finally!

Jump, duck, and dodge! – DuckTales ad

LJ

Hello, everyone!

It’s Lucky Joker here to show you a pretty cool advertisement on Poptropica Original for Disney XD’s Duck Tales, which you can find on Home Island.

Poptropica Duck Tales

In this ad, there are three levels to be completed to be able to earn the prizes. You’ll have the option to choose your favorite duck to play as for all three. I chose Louie because he wears my favorite color. 😛

Anyway, go on inside and talk to Webby to start up the first mini-game.

Like many ad games we’ve seen before, this one is really simple. All you have to do is click and hold down your mouse to the right to run while jumping over any obstacles—which include chairs, statues, and bookcases.

Poptropica Duck Tales 2

The second and third levels are exactly identical, besides the setting. The goal is to dodge all of the fish/aerial crafts to the end (you can keep track with the progress bar) without losing all of your lives (the smiley faces).

After successfully completing all three levels, you’ll win Webby, Dewey, Louie, and Huey followers as well as a Talisman Power card!

Poptropica Duck Tales 5

Well, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one.
