Hey Poptropicans, it’s Lucky Joker here!

The Poptropica Stickers app (for iOS) has been out for months now—since July as a matter of fact—but only now has just received its very first update. You probably already guessed it… the update is for Halloween!🎃

Twenty-seven new spooky stickers have been added to the sticker selection, along with the three winning designs from the sticker design contest that happened shortly after the app’s release. Here they are screenshotted below:

It’s not clear how long these stickers are here to stay, but my hunch is that the Halloween-themed stickers would disappear sometime after October, while the contest winning designs will probably stay. (The latter was promised in September, but better late than never.)

So, what do you think of this update? Do you have the Poptropica Sticker app? If you don’t, you can download it from the app store on any iOS device if you’re interested. 🙂

Well, that’s all for now! Thanks for reading as always and I’ll talk to you in the next one…pop on!

App, Contests

Announcing the Poptropica Sticker Design Contest!

Hello, Poptropicans!

It’s been a little less than a week since the Poptropica Stickers app was released for iPhones and iPads, and now, Poptropica is introducing a sticker design contest for it!

To enter the contest, post your design on Instagram with the hashtag #PoptropicaStickers so that the Creators can see it. You can create with any medium—digital or otherwise—and you can enter as many times as you’d like!

The deadline is July 25, so that gives you about two weeks to submit as many entries as you can. And the prize? To have your sticker design featured in the next app update!

Will you be participating in the contest? I think it’s great the Creators are once again giving Poptropica fans a chance to show off our creativity. I mean, we’re a pretty talented group of people. 😏

(Though we are still waiting for Pop’s promise about runner-up costumes being available in the game from the #MyPoptropicaCostumeContest to become a reality… 😉 )

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading as always, talk to you soon… pop on!

Make your messages POP!

Hello, everyone—it’s Lucky Joker here! Remember that sneak peek from a couple of days ago? Here it is in case you missed it:

Poptropica Digital Stickers

Well, when the creators said coming soon, they weren’t kidding because today Poptropica just released the all-new Poptropica Stickers app! There’s plenty of sticker options to choose from and some of them are pretty funny. Here they are below:

At this point, the app is only available for iPhones and iPads, which I was afraid of when I first saw the sneak peek. Oh well… I’m sure they’ll be available for other devices soon enough. Also, it’s only usable on the Messages texting app. To get the app, just head to the App Store and search “Poptropica Stickers” to download it for free!

Well, that’s it for now! Thanks for reading as always! Talk to you in the next one…pop on!

Snap a Zomberry selfie on the Worlds app!

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here sharing some news from the Creators’ Blog and an update on Poptropica Worlds! Let’s start with the Worlds update.

As you may recall, last month, the Creators posted this two-frame GIF sneak peek:

zomberry

Well, the new update is exactly as it seemedit’s a Zombie Machine (branded by the Zomberries of course!). The new Zombie Machine can be found on Home Island on the Poptropica Worlds app only.

When you enter the machine, you’ll find yourself in a small room standing next to a purple lever. Once you pull it, you’ll need to grant Poptropica Worlds permission to access your camera. If you’re familiar with Snapchat filters, this is a lot like it.

Here, you can take photos of yourself with a Zomberry head over your face. There are three head options to choose from—one with short hair and a death stare, one with a brushed up hairstyle and a mouth opened wide enough to smell berry breath from the other side of the globe, and last but not least, one with a fabulous wispy hairdo and a slightly opened mouth. Here they are pictured below:

In addition, you get a zombie face mask added to your closet once you finish your picture taking. Here I am modeling it for you all:

Don’t I look gorgeous? No? Okay…moving on!


In less exciting news, Virus Hunter Island takes the spotlight in the newest Island Highlight post on the Creators’ Blog. Last week, it was Mocktropica Island — a little ironic, considering the circumstances and the island’s storyline: “The newest Island isn’t finished, the staff is nowhere to be found, and you can’t take two steps without running into a game-breaking bug.”

There’s a new Guess the Island trivia post as well. This week’s screenshot for the Guess the Island trivia shows a Mythology surfer character in a room with dark blue-greenish walls with gray machinery all around.

Guess the Island 2

Look familiar? I’ve already made my guess in the comments section under the Creators’ Blog post (and I 100% know I’m correct, hehe), but what do you think it is? Leave your guesses in the comments!

hehehe
hehehe…too easy Creators!

That’s all for now! What do you think of the new Zombie Machine on Worlds? If I’m going to be honest, it isn’t everything I was hoping for, but it is something of interest. Let’s just hope a new island will come out soon.

Thanks for reading as always, and talk to you in the next one.

An app-reciable odyssey and outfit of the week

Hello, everyone!

It’s Lucky Joker here popping in to announce, first of all, that Greek Sea Odyssey is now available on the Poptropica Worlds app!

What took the Creators so long? Well, whatever the reason may be, it’s better late than never, right? 😉 At least they finally mentioned the island on their blog.

If you need any help, check out our Greek Sea Odyssey Island Guide here on the PHB, complete with pics, trivia, and more!


Also, a new Outfit of the Week has been posted, and this week, dark/gothic filmmaker Tim Burton takes the center stage.

The outfit comes from Silver Fox of the Poptropica Fashion Wiki. It’s good to see the Creators are giving the deserved credit to the costume’s designer.

Along with the outfit itself, there’s also a little trivia at the bottom of the post that reads:

Who is the musician and composer who has composed music for all of Tim Burton’s films except for three?

I honestly have no clue. Do you know?

Anyway, that’s all for now folks! Thanks for reading, and talk to you in the next one.
