Coming soon to 24 Carrot Island: Beta Carrotene!

Brave Tomato

Hey, guys, BT here with a special piece of news: I looked on the 24 Carrot Island island page and I found this little thing added:

Beta Carrotene

Turns out the pink jumpsuit from earlier sneak peeks is the Members Only Beta Tester costume:

So… members can be beta testers now?! Holy slice of carrot cake, this sounds exciting! Well, from the sounds of this, it’ll be the original 24 Carrot Island quest except with a soundtrack, a bigger screen, and… “better navigation”. Oh great, don’t tell me the common room cursor is going to be a part of this…

Anyhoo, it looks like for right now, the soundtrack would be exculsively for 24 Carrot Island, but who knows if the Creators would ever make beta versions of other popular islands? Only time will tell, I guess.

BT out!

UPDATE (Fuzzy-B): The Poptropica homepage now has a banner for the upcoming 24 Carrot beta!

DrHare5000 Promo Code: Dr. Hare’s Deluxe Balloons

Slanted Fish

Dr. Hare Deluxe BalloonsDr. Hare’s been hyping about this for long enough… and it’s paid off because the halfway goal of 5,000 supporters for Poptropica’s LEGO CUUSOO project has finally been achieved!

As promised, the balloons are here – just enter the promo code DRHARE5000 when you log in or visit the Store to receive the Dr. Hare Deluxe Balloons, featuring Evil Chubby Bunny With Bucktooth and Evil Bunny Drone Face Insignia.

Now now, our favorite evil bunny has made it very clear that it would be extremely shameful if those not worthy of this glorious inflatable prize dared to claim it, so for the sake of good ethics, if you HAVEN’T voted yet and you want these balloons, go support it now. If you’re under 13, get an adult to vote for you. I mean, you COULD just skip this step and get the balloons, but… for shame, for shame. *shakes head slowly*

The LEGO CUUSOO Team also posted this comment on the project idea page:

2013.04.10

Hi PopCreators,

Congratulations on passing the halfway point on LEGO CUUSOO with your Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair project! Your project and concept models are focused and well-built. It’s not hard to imagine this as an official LEGO product. All in all, great presentation.

Best wishes as you reach for 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO.

Yay! Halfway there!

In other news, Poptropica’s Official Tips & Tricks App now has a walkthrough guide for Night Watch. However, this being a site that is partially based on creating Poptropica walkthroughs, it has to be said that the PHB has a Night Watch Island Guide as well, so… you know where to go!

Non-member access to the typically members-only Costume Closet will be ending this Saturday, December 22. Your costumes will still be there, but you’ll need membership to get them.

There’s a new ad for Monsters, Inc. which will be in theaters December 19 in 3D. Watch the trailer video and get a new costume! Boys will get the Mike Wazowski Hat and girls will get the Boo Costume. Thanks Mad Tornado and Ayman351! Looking totally spiffy there.

Monsters Inc 3D ad

Oh yeah, the PHB reached 7.5 million views! Have yourself a merry little fruitcake!

Note to the above: If you took one, you’re now a zombie. Didn’t we warn you not to eat any fruit??

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island is now open to everyone! If you need a walkthrough, we’ve got you covered with our CatCF Island Guide or video playlist. Enjoy your golden ticket! 😀

Charlie Zomberry Map

As you rush excitedly over to the Wonka factory gates, you may notice a new island in the distance – yep, Zomberry Island is now COMING SOON on the Map! Thanks Jingle Dragon. We don’t know when exactly it’ll come out, but who knows, maybe they’ll time it for around December 21st, 2012 in keeping with an “end of the world” theme. 😛

Of course, you’ll want some gear if you’re going to survive this zombie apocalypse! Though it’s just for members… well, good luck out there, non-members. Put on your ZMB Unit and equip your Safety Flare, or you may just wind up turning into another victim with a bad case of Big Blue.

If you’re dying (heh, see what I did there?) to know the origin behind Poptropica’s zombie apocalypse, catch up with page 1, page 2, and page 3 of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic on this blog! The plot thickens in page 4…

Ohhh snap! Looks like it’s Joe Puddy vs. the Zombies. What will happen next?

Anyway, there’s been a lot of positive feedback about the recent change of the PHB’s layout, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your support and suggestions. And in case you haven’t seen them yet, the PHB has new pages for the Tribes of Poptropica, so go cheer on your favorite team! Also, thanks for helping us reach 7.4 million hits! Have a great weekend! 😀

SkullBook – New Promo Code for Skull Pirate!

Slanted Fish

You’ve assembled your crew, bought the best ship that money can buy, and have prepared yourself a nice meal of crawfish and rum – but wait! You’re not ready to sail the briny seas until you’ve put on the Skull Pirate costume your mother bought you!

Just kidding about that last part. You can actually get this costume just by entering the promo code skullbook in the top-right corner of the Poptropica Store! So easy. Thanks to Meow for the tip.

This code, which should work for everyone, comes from reading the Funbrain sample of the Poptropica: Skullduggery Island book. Plus, you can press the spacebar to swing your skull-tastic sword around to ward off enemies! Fantastic.
