Ask Poptropica Siri #8: Roblox, Rumblings, and Releases

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone! It’s been a hard time lately for the fandom, particularly with Poptropica’s controversial Roblox developments. So, I wanted to cool it down by answering some questions…

What do you think of the Poptropica Roblox games? ~Magic Snowball

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I am totally fine with Poptropica’s Roblox games. I feel neutral about this situation, even as a Roblox player myself. I think they are just having a break and trying new things. Although others are angry about it, at least Poptropica is still actively developing on their own platform, so that’s a good sign.

Do you think the Creators even care enough to bring the old islands back? ~Silver Shell

This question came in before the big announcement of 13 old islands returning via Steam, but yes, I do think they care! They brought Zomberry to Roblox, and previously released the Zomberry Hero mini-game on Pop, which means they haven’t forgotten their old lore. Even if they play around with Roblox, they will never give up on Poptropica.

If there was one old island which could release early and you were given the choice, which one would you pick? ~Dangerous Dragon

Oh wow, so many choices! Well, I’m going to cheat a little and pick two: I would want either Skullduggery or Astro-Knights to be brought back. They were fun to play, even if they are the most difficult out of all of the islands ever made. Although we’ve lost a lot of old islands, they are still in our hearts and hopefully can return someday. 💙

Ask Poptropica Siri #7: waiting for Jade, Flash’s fade, and islands to be remade

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone, it’s Smart Icicle! You know how the game works now. Let’s answer some questions!

What do you think of the upcoming Secret of the Jade Scarab Island? ~ Dangerous Dragon & when the imposter is sus

I am pretty excited for when it comes out. So far the sneak peeks remind me of Arabian Nights and catching the genie. Another desert theme seems pretty cool to me. This one seems fun from what we’ve seen so far, and I can’t wait for it to release! I’ve loved seeing all the ideas everyone came up with for the Dream Island contest.

Would you rather play the old islands on Flashpoint now, or in a few years if they become officially accessible through Poptropica desktop and mobile? ~Silver Ghost

I like these types of questions. It’s fun playing the old islands on Flashpoint, but I am going to have to go with playing the old islands from Poptropica itself if they all become available again because I have been playing on their platforms for years. It’s been a while since Flash has been gone, and I still praise it. Still miss you, Flash! ❤️

What do you like to do on Poptropica when you aren’t playing islands? ~Silver Shell

I either do side quests, check out the store for any cool stuff, or relax in my clubhouse. But honestly, I mainly play Poptropica for the islands — they’re just so fun, am I right?

Ask Poptropica Siri #6: Baron above, fandom loves, and costume earmuffs

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone, it’s Smart Icicle! Hope you all are enjoying the new year. Let’s ring it in by answering some questions.

When will the Baron return? ~anonymous

The Baron swings by Home Island at the beginning of every month for only a short period of time, and you’ll have to stay tuned for news of her latest visits. For her next visit, according to the Creators’ Blog, the airship will be back in early February. You won’t want to miss it — you’ll get to pick up a free player-designed costume, play games for credits, and check out the epic Baron’s Crusade side quest!

What do you love most about the Poptropica fandom? ~Friendly Shell

First for Poptropica itself, I love the islands: they’re exciting, especially with new islands in the works. I think it’s great to have both new side quests and some of the old islands back.

As for the fandom, I love the PHB because of the kindness and support from fans of Poptropica. Check out the My Place in Poptropica series for tons of these stories. Without the PHB, I might not have even sustained my interest in Poptropica.

What costume do you like from the monthly costume contests? ~anonymous

I liked lots from the submission reels that may not have been chosen as winners. I especially liked the Hanfu by Calm Dolphin and some Minecraft-based costumes by Grey Shadow, which were not made into the game, as well as the Ice Cream Cat by Silver Flame, which was. I like them because they are cute, unique, and give off video game vibes (I am a huge video game person). I could go on and on!

Ask Poptropica Siri #5: Snuggles with the Huggles and getting the hang of things

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone, I’m really enjoying this series! So many questions to answer, which reminds me… let’s answer some more!

What’s the best purchase you’ve made from any of the Poptropica stores? Or the worst? ~Slanted Fish

Best purchase would definitely be the Master Huggles Piggyback. It looks so cute and adorable. Flying around on the jetpack is fun too.

The only store item that I don’t like is the cat-i-corn topper. I like the cat (it’s adorable) but I don’t like how it changes the hair.

What’s your favorite challenge from Reality TV Island? ~Friendly Shell

Can you guess where I like to hang? I like how you shoot up in the air in Geyser Guess, as well as gliding above volcanos in Hang Gliding!

What is something useful to know while you are playing Poptropica? ~Slanted Fish

My advice while playing is when you have a hard time and get stuck, it’s not a bad thing to use the PHB’s walkthroughs. Also, don’t give up on the harder islands! Don’t get stressed, take deep breaths, and continue to try. Have hope, you can do this!

Ask Poptropica Siri #4: Pigging out, Poppies plus-one, and a positive

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hi, everyone! Yep, it’s that time again for another round of Ask Poptropica Siri. Let’s get the questions going!

What’s your favorite food from Poptropica? ~Barefoot Knuckle

There are so many options (thank you for making a list 🙂) but I have to go with the Wonka candy bar from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory since I am a big fan of chocolate. Runner up would be the carrot cake made by the factory on 24 Carrot.

If you could bring one Poptropica character as your plus-one to the Poppies, who would it be? ~Barefoot Knuckle

Dr. Hare or Dr. Beev. Check out my drawing of Dr. Beev at the Poppies!

In your opinion, what new features really disappointed you, and what new features did you really like? ~Friendly Shell

I liked the Baron’s airship because it just feels as if I’m playing Henry Stickmin again and I like to look at the the costume contest designs.

Something I don’t like is the way character customization works now. I don’t see why it changed from the Costumizer, which let us copy clothes from others.
