Hey, everyone! Can you believe that Poptropica is turning 16 this September? Pretty wild, right?
Check your inventory and you’ll find two sweet gifts with space bar actions: the Frosting Splatter and the Sprinkle Sprayer. 🧁
Thanks to Dizzy Feather for the tip!
Do these items seem a bit familiar? Well, they were originally called the Icing Blaster and the Sprinkles Cannon, and they were prizes for a Magic Bake-Off ad game. At least Poptropica remembered their birthday this year, unlike last year.
Happy sweet 16, Poptropica! Let’s celebrate by drawing fan art, making videos, and even baking a cake. As for us at the PHB, we may have something cooking. More details coming soon! 👀
Good day Poptropicans! I’ve got some uplifting news that’ll make you jump for joy! So without further ado, let’s hop to it, shall we?
Poptropica is celebrating its 14th birthday all month long, and with celebrations come surprises. Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised to see the return of the colorful, arcade-style minigame, Hoptropica!
Hoptropica first hopped onto the scene for a limited time back in December of 2020, and now it’s back and birthday-ified for players to relive or play for the first time! Either way, this version is still out for only a LIMITED TIME so hop now or forever hold your piece… of cake. 🍰
Cake now provides you with a huge time boost!
Last week, the Pop Creators hinted at minigame re-releases, free store items, and easy opportunities to earn credits — I just didn’t know we would be getting all at once! Right now, you’ll win14 credits (for Poptropica’s 14th birthday) every time you play Hoptropica!
But wait, there’s more. After you hop, pop into the store and acquire your FREE birthday Bit-Beev and Bit-Hare followers!
I personally am really hyped to see Hoptropica return — and have the swag to show for it. Thanks to the Pop Creators’ gift card to the PHB, Slanted Fish even hooked me up (no pun intended) with the 8-bit Hare & Beev stickers from Poptropica’s merch store.
SB, and more importantly, cat approved 😸
That’s all from me. Be sure to hop to celebrate Pop and take advantage of the bound-iful rewards available! I’ll see you next time, this Boa’s gotta bounce!
Hey Poptropicans, are you ready for costumes galore?? 👗
The Pop Creators received tons fantastic entries for July’s monthly costume contest — enough to create a picture slideshow nine minutes long! Just take a look at the fandom’s creativity:
Picking a winning design was “an impossibly hard choice to make,” according to the Creators’ Blog, but in the end they went with the Ice Cream Cat by Silver Flame. 🍦🐈 As promised, the costume will soon be available for free through the returning Baron’s airship. Sweet!
While the video above contains loads more amazing costume ideas (and some copyrighted characters like Bendy, Baldi, Minecraft creepers, and more), I’d like to highlight a few of my personal favorites with a mini slideshow of my own. Which ones caught your eye, and did you have a creation featured? Share with us in the comments!
In other news, we’ve made it to the end of July, which means the login challenge has wrapped up! If you managed to log in to Pop every day for the past 10 days, a bonus 5,000 credits should have automatically been added to your account today. Cha-ching!
That’s all for now! Check back tomorrow for some more fanciful Community Creations. Stay awesome, Poptropicans. ✌️✨
Hey Poptropicans, lots of news incoming! We’ve got an island-sized treat for non-members, credit crazes, another ad game, and that’s not even all of it—but more for another post. Let’s POP into this one!
First up, Time Tangled Island is now available for all players! 🎉🕰 Although it has been free for most of Pop’s history, it was locked behind the paywall since it was first ported over to Haxe last September. Guess it was only a matter of time. (Thanks to Neat Peanut for the tip!)
Fun fact: This trailer video is so old that it was posted on the Poptropica Creators’ first YouTube channel, VladTheViking.
One downside: it’s been reported on the PHC that playing through islands no longer awards credits. But fear not, the Poptropica economy finds other ways to function…
As an acceleration of the daily login credit rewards, Poptropica is launching a credit craze campaign where, over the next 10 days, if you login to Pop every day, you’ll automatically receive a bonus 5,000 credits on July 31, good for spending sprees in the game’s various stores.
The campaign began Wednesday, July 21, so if you didn’t miss that day, you can keep your streak going till Friday, July 30 for your shot at the big prize! After all, the Creators make it sound so appealing with this absolutely golden quote from their post:
What comes to mind when you think of your favorite four letter F word? If you’re already thinking “FREE,” you’ve got the right idea!

Like the sketch? There’s always more on Instagram, so let’s round off this post with the latest fan art features on the Creators’ story:
Hey Poptropicans! It’s mid-December, which means several things: rounding off the flurry of member gifts, some dates to remember, and even a handful of coloring pages when you need a break. Let’s pop into it!
The last of the 12 Days of Member Gifts is here, and it’s a doozy: this Ice Wielder Power is the perfect overlay for a wintry look, reminiscent of the Electrify power but with an animated storm of snowflakes.
Take a look back on the previous 12 Days of Member Gifts here, here, here, and here, and remember, you can get all 12 gifts if you become a member at any point this month. It’s the best time for bonus items!
There’s winter fun for all in other ways too, and the latest comes in the form of these free winter coloring pagesfrom the Creators’ Blog! In addition to Poptropicans dressed for the cold, we’ve also got snowmen (one melted) and a candy cane. Click the images to open in full size!
Once you’ve opened a coloring page image, you could save them to your device and color them with an art app, or print them out and color them the traditional way. Either way, the Pop Creators would love to see your creations — you can share them on social media with the tag #poptropicart for a chance to have your work featured!
Have you been cooking up an idea for the Design Your Dream Island Contest? Keep in mind that the last day for entries is this Friday, Dec 18 at 11:59 p.m. PST! The winner will be announced ten days later, Dec 28.
Intensifying panic notwithstanding, be sure to use Poptropica’s submission form here when you send off your ideas. And you can share it with us, too, although we can’t make your island real.
In the last contest, the PHB shared a closer look at a contest entry from one of the runners-up: House of Cards Island. In a similar vein, if you’d like to share your island idea with PHB readers, we’d love to share what you’ve come up if you send in a guest post!
Time’s ticking for one more thing, too—the end of Flash itself. The end of 2020 marks the end of the Flash era, and we’re sending it off with a bang of a Poptropica party!
