Happy Meals and Scrappy Feels 😊

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for credits and characters!

There’s a new ad on Home Island for McDonald’s Happy Meals, which (for those in the US) are now offering Match Battle boxes as an extension of the Pokémon trading card game. Watch the short video to earn 10 credits, and replay it as much as you like to keep collecting credits!

Thanks to HeartofEnder for the tip!

And while you’re on Home Island, don’t miss out on the Baron’s airship and whatever shenanigans are going on with the disappearance of the scrappy sky pirate who was recently voted “Most Captivating Current Character” in the Poppies! At least Ack is there to give out goodies. 🙉

In other news, enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories showcasing iconic characters, including a lovely sketch of the Baron! As always, click the artists’ names to see more. 💫

Keep on poppin’ on!

Cool as they are, it gets edgier on TikTok and Twitter, where Poptropica spotlighted this sick self-made tattoo of a Poptropolis Games-style Poptropican by @pworddestroyer69. Forever iconic. 🔥

Keep on poppin’ on!

Camp Cretaceous and Art Bodacious 🦕🖌

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for dinosaurs and doodles!

Home Island has a new ad building for the Netflix show Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, with a chase game that’s a bit of a challenge! Your goal is to run away from a dinosaur, jumping over obstacles until you reach the end — but if you hit three obstacles, you’ll start over. 

If you’re successful, you’ll win a Camp Cretaceous Merch cap and Camp Cretaceous Raptor Tooth necklace (which comes with an audible roar, and makes you sweat when you tap the spacebar).

Thanks to Dizzy Feather for contributing to this segment!

Here’s the latest in Poptropica’s Instagram stories! In addition to bodacious fan art features, the Creators also launched a Pop poll with the help of the Little Miss/Mr meme to ask about device preferences for playing Pop. It’s not the first time they’ve popped this question, but just like before, desktop (at 85%) wins over mobile by a long shot.

Last call for voting in the Poppies! 🏆 Polls are open until this Friday, and we’ll be announcing the winners of our Poptropica fan awards this Sunday at 7pm EST in a spectacular slideshow. See you there! 🥳

In addition to the YouTube livestream, we’ll also be hanging on Discord and the Arcade in Poptropica. See the party details here, and if you haven’t already, spare a few minutes to VOTE IN THE POPPIES! ✅

Stall no more: Rumpel’s Challenge for all 😈

Slanted Fish

Adventures await, Poptropicans!

Pop drop alert: Rumpel’s Challenge is now available for all! 😈 Once for members only, this side quest sequel to Fairytale Island which first launched 10 months ago is finally welcoming non-members who’ve completed the main quest to continue the story.

To get cracking on the riddles, find Rumpelstiltskin on Home Island. Alas, the lead-up with the suspiciously twitching Baron is no longer in sight. For a helping hand in your inter-island search for the true king of Fairytale, keep our Rumpel’s Challenge Side Quest Guide close! 🏰👑

Speaking of the infamous magic man, check out this early concept art of the devilish character revealed on Pop’s Twitter! My, what big eyes you have… 👀

While you’re on Home Island, you may also notice a new ad building for animated Netflix movie Sea Beast! 🐙 Like the Rainbow High ad earlier, inside you can pick a team and play a game for prizes. You’ll have to run around and find 10 little beasts before time is up –– mind the tentacles! You can play for each team to get each of their prizes: the Yellow Follower and Blue Follower (yup, how original).

(Thanks to Fearless Star for contributing to this segment!)

Also, guest writer Invisible Ring is back with a post of encouragement for finding a spirit of adventure with Poptropica. 💫 Check out her post over on the Creators’ Blog, filled with tons of postcard-perfect shots!

And more excitement is to come — check back later today for the start of our next round in the Poppies awards: the voting! See you soon!

Hop up top with Paws of Fury 🤺🐾

Slanted Fish

Heyo Hoptropicans! We’ve got a lot of leaping to do today!

Two limited edition games have popped up on the map. The first one is familiar: hello Hoptropica! In this game, pick a furry doctor to play as, then hop your way through the platforms, careful not to fall. 🦫🐰

Everything you need to know is in our Hoptropica Guide! ⭐️ Just replace stars with cakes, as this is the birthday edition, which first appeared for Pop’s 14th birthday last September. We’re not sure whose birthday they’re celebrating this time, but we’d like to believe it’s the PHB’s, as our blog birthday is coming up in July. 🍰

You’ll also get 14 credits for each play! Whether you’re Team Beev or Team Hare, be sure to take advantage of the opportunity while you can.

There’s more jumping to do over at the new Paws of Fury minigame! 🐶 You can find the ad building for the upcoming movie on Fairytale Island or directly on the map. Anyone getting Red Dragon Island vibes? Anyway, enter and talk to Hank the dog to begin the obstacle course.

With just two minutes to make your way up to the top, it’s short and sweet. For your efforts, you’ll win a Hank Outfit and Emiko Follower, with space bar actions to swing their samurai swords. ⚔️

And here are the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories, both honoring villains of old. Click the links for the original posts!
