(P)interesting ads: Home ‘Oh’ follower & more

March 18, 2015March 18, 2015 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! On Main Streets of SUIs like Time Tangled, you can find an ad for the upcoming Dreamworks movie Home. Watching the trailer awards you a follower of the alien character “Oh” from the film (who has the voice of Sheldon Cooper!). (thanks for the tip, Cuddly Knuckle)

Over on the Poptropica mobile app, there’s also an ad for Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb! In the mini-game, all you have to do is keep running right and jumping over museum artifacts to avoid the suddenly-alive triceratops skeleton. Once you’ve carried the tablet to safety, you’ll be awarded a Dexter Rider and costume (Cleopatra for girls, Sir Lancelot for boys).

That’s not the only app update – Survival Ep. 5 (“Escape!”) is now free on iOS! That means that they’ve now gotten rid of all in-app purchases, and every downloadable island is now free.

By the way, thanks to the Poptropica Creators’ official Pinterest for the Night at the Museum pics above! We’ve mentioned this social media venture before, but since then, Master Mime (Jon Pitcher) has really taken off with the whole Pinterest movement, from pinning St. Patrick’s Day signs in the Poptropica font to linking to the PHB’s Comics page (where you can read Mystery of the Map in its entirety!).

So spread the word: follow Poptropica on Pinterest! 😀

Plus, check out this behind-the-scenes early art for Arabian Nights, Episode 3 – another shot of the “unimpressed teenage daughter” princess with her “clueless dad” the sultan. If you haven’t already, you’ll want to read BT’s theory, because word is that even the illustrator of this piece confirms it’s “dead on” with the island’s story!

Stay tuned to the PHB for what’s popping in Poptropica! 🙂

Hey Poptropicans! Slippery here.

First up, here are the latest Mystery of the Map pages (p. 22-25)! Check them out below, or read from the start on the graphic novel page!

The gang has discovered a Viking ship – what could happen next? It looks like Octavian has lost the map. Maybe it’s with Mya and the gang!

On another note, the first episode of PoptropiCon (Line Forms Here) is now free on the Poptropica iOS app! Need any help in entering the con? Check out the PHB’s PoptropiCon Island Guide!

Speaking of the app, I noticed something about the description of the update. Here’s what it says:

New mini-game! Escape from Monkey Island featuring the characters Jorge and Oliver from the beloved Poptropica Comic Strip.

However, when I updated the app, there was no Monkey Island mini-game, just the GHD Jack Chase mini-game (which isn’t new). Maybe they’re related to the comic-island sneak peeks in the Daily Pop?

Moving along, there are a couple of new Poptropica Realms videos in the Creators’ Inside Poptropica playlist. Here, a well-dressed wolf shows us how to build wolf-inspired home bases. It’s really cool and pretty amazing. Check it out!

Also, Poptropica tweeted another rejected concept art for the princess in the third episode of Arabian Nights. Curious about why the princess is so sad? Check out BT’s theory about that here!

arab3princess Last but not least, you may notice something new when you visit Poptropica.com: at the bottom of the homepage, there’s a KidSafe seal from COPPA certifying Poptropica as a kid-friendly program! I think many players knew that already, but it’s great to see Poptropica getting recognized. 🙂

That’s all of the recent updates over at Poptropica for now. Tell us what you think in the comments!

A look ahead: why is the Princess so sad? (Arab Ep. 3 theory)

February 25, 2015February 25, 2015 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Now, today, the Poptropica Twitter account posted an exclusive sneak peek image of what’s coming our way for the yet-to-be-titled third episode of Arabian Nights.

Embedded image permalink — “Who is this princess? Why so sad? Let us know! Behind-the-Scenes of Arabian Nights 3” – Twitter

Now, to answer this question, I kinda had some thoughts in the back of my head before this picture was released. And of course, it can be traced back to four of the Daily Pops.

Looking Glass: Seven years’ bad luck if you break it.

Design Concept: We sense a theme emerging.

Royals: We are the sultans of swing.

Gallery: The writing is on the walls.

All four of these Daily Pops really caught my eye for something. Two of them look like they’re from the princess’s room while the others are, or involve, paintings, including the one that the Twitter posted the concept art of.

So from what we see, the princess doesn’t like the genie, but likes swords and camels.

Now with this, it’s about time I reveal my theory. Alright, gather around folks. It’s story time.

*WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS* (but that’s what you came for, yes?)

Mystery of the Map begins, Arab Ep. 2 on iOS, & Realms

February 16, 2015February 17, 2015 Slanted Fish

Attention Poptropica comic fans – the bad news is, Poptropica’s pausing posting comics for 90 days, according to this tweet. But there’s better news ahead: the first entry in the graphic novel series begins ~~tomorrow~~ now! It’s called Mystery of the Map – keep reading for the first couple of pages!

And the series has begun over on the Creators’ Blog! Below are the first few pages (click to enlarge images), written by Max Brallier (author of Galactic Hot Dogs) and illustrated by Kory Merritt (Poptropica comic artist). So Mya (Oliver’s sister) and the mysterious Octavian make their debut at last…

Stay tuned to the Poptropica Help Blog (and Twitter) as the story unfolds! 😀

Next up – Arabian Nights, Ep. 2: Lair of Thieves is now available on the Poptropica iOS app! It was also made available to Android users about a week ago. Anyway, if you need a walkthrough, check out our Arabian Nights Island Guide!

Lastly, here are a few more Realms that Poptropica featured on Twitter this weekend with the comment, “You’re building beautiful, amazing, and loving.” That last one does give off a Valentine vibe!

That’s all for now – stay popping, Poptropicans. 😉

Penguin Power & Arabian Nights Ep. 3 peeks

February 15, 2015February 15, 2015 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! If you head on over to Main Streets right now, there’s a new ad for the new Dreamworks movie Penguins of Madagascar (I found it on Mythology Island). Click on it to receive the Penguin Power! (thanks to ~Anime_Cookie~ for the ad alert!)

Pressing the space bar will make your character equip a handheld bag of Cheezy Dibbles (delicious) and a big penguin will pop up on the screen for a moment. You’ll retain the snack bag after the effect.

Next in news, here’s a recap of the Daily Pops for this week, as well as some from the upcoming week that have already been uploaded to Poptropica’s servers. Most seem to be for Episode 3 of Arabian Nights, and the “Dig Deep” one with the miners might be for the hinted-at underground cave island.

On the Level: Let’s table the discussion for now.

Sweet Dreams: Somebody still needs to make the bed.

For more sneak peeks, check out the PHB’s Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive! 😀

Also, for you Twitterers out there, it looks like Poptropica’s account is starting to hit its following limit – so they’ve started unfollowing some accounts (don’t worry, it’s nothing personal!). They suggest following them back to ensure you’re not one of the accounts they stop following.

@Meraito Would help if you'd follow us back. More people want us to follow them than Twitter allows. So we have to make choices. 🙂

Finally, hope you’re having a lovely weekend! Just recently, the PHB celebrated Valentine’s Day with a pink-ified site layout, which you can see below if you missed it. Plus, PHB author Brave Tomato drew some fanart for one of Poptropica’s best love stories: Fiona and Valiant of Ghost Story Island!
