Your daily paper

Poptropica Members don’t just get Early Access to Wimpy Wonderland. They also a get a free bonus item!

Any Members who play Wimpy Wonderland during the Early Access period will get the special Paper Girl or Paper Boy costume and ability.

With the costume, you can turn yourself into a lined paper wonder, right out of the Wimpy Kid universe!

Even better, you can paperize anybody else you see anywhere in Poptropica — even Director D.!


So, Members, log on now to play Wimpy Wonderland and get your free Paper Girl or Paper Boy Gold Card. If you’re not a Member, you can become a Member and get the Card along with Early Access to Wimpy Wonderland. (And keep in mind that this Card will live in your store items inventory section.)

You’ll be able to keep this Card forever, even if you cancel Membership later, but once the Early Access period is over, the Card will be gone. Don’t miss your chance!

If you’re a member, you’re in luck– you get to get a suspiciously mummy looking paper costume, not to mention you get to change various characters around Poptropica into paper. Fun, right?

Now, since WW is supposed to be released around the middle of March, if you think turning cartoon people into paper is just uber fun, you better hurry and get a membership, before your chance has been crumpled up! (see what I did there? HUR HUR HUR HURRR…hur…ha…yeah…)

Also, congratulations to the first 10 people to finish Wimpy Wonderland!

1. Lone Dragon
2. Greedy Runner
3. Quick Skull
4. Strange Octopus
5. Popular Crush
6. Wild Ghost
7. Bashful Moon
8. Mad Leaf
9. Big Spinner

10. Messy Eel

Here’s the PHB info page for WW! There is a written walkthrough by Fearless Cheetah in the comments!

Oh, and Happy St. Patricks Day!

Bonus Items, Wild West Island

Wild West Wonder

For those of you who have been playing Wild West Island’s sneak peek game of Round ‘Em Up every other day to get all the prizes, Captain Crawfish of the PCB wants to remind everyone that there’s just one prize left, and that’s the Wunder Bubble Tonic.

Unfortunately, he consumed too much of the drink and has passed out in that corner over there. *points* We have the plates, knives, and forks on the other side, so feel free to take a little snack break if you’ve been lassoing too many cows and want a rest.

Drunk on the Wunder Bubble Tonic
Thanks to Luke from the PHC for modeling some of the cowboy prizes, including the all-new Wunder Bubble Tonic, which makes your character flash random colors and blow bubbles of different colors. It’s pretty epic, so if you can, I’d recommend trying your best to win this prize!
New prizes were available every other day for a total of 7 prizes. Those prizes have expired though, but congratulations to those who won them while they were available. Past prizes include, in order starting from the first one:
  1. Sheriff Hat
  2. Sombrero
  3. Hat and Bandanna
  4. The Loaner
  5. The Hombre
  6. The Kid
  7. Wunder Bubble Tonic

The PCB has a poll asking, “How many Wild West prizes have you won?”  47% said 2 or more, 10% said just 1, and 42% said none.

So… how many prizes did YOU win?

Kite Flight

On Cryptids Island, if you didn’t already know, you can fly kites from the kite store! There’s lots of them to choose from, such as this panda one:

"Pandas do make me smile."

For non-members, Cryptids Island is apparently opening on Tuesday, January 18. Which isn’t exactly fair because they had originally released the date as January 17. Sneaky Creators. 😐

In other news, there are some new Daily Pop sneak peeks you might want to take a look at the next time you log in:

  • Buzz On – Will this scavenging bird make an appearance in Poptropica?
  • Horse Face – A horse learns to express itself.
  • Take That to the Bank – This scene could use the color of money – and some other shades, too.
  • Yippie for Hippies – No, there’s no Hippie Island planned. We’re always trying out new costume ideas.
  • The (Steam) Works – Most of these ideas never made it into Steamworks Island, but they helped us figure out how we wanted it to look.
  • What a Drag – Gold cards go through the same creative process as islands. Here’s an early look at something that may end up in the Store.
  • Ready, Yeti? – An early sketch of Bigfoot for Cryptids Island. We decided to make him scarier!
  • The Missing Link – Will these cavemen concept sketches ever find a home on Poptropica?

And don’t forget to take Poptropica’s quick survey when you log in! Giving your opinions may help the Creators understand what YOU want from the game!

Are you ready for the Holidays?

Hey guys, I hope you all are just as excited as I am for Christmas! 😀

I hope you get everything you ask for but all I hope to get are my two front teeth! Wait.. I already have those… dern.  x]

Anyway, the Black Widow called me and told (Well, threatened.) me to post about the Poptropica Game Cards available this holiday season! Here’s what she had to say:

What’s on your holiday wish list?

Are you a Poptropica Member who wants to extend your Membership and keep enjoying Early Access to new Islands, plus unlimited use of all costumes and Gold Cards?

Are you not yet a Member, but you want all those great Membership benefits, or 1000 Credits to shop for costumes and Gold Cards in the Poptropica Store?

No matter what kind of Poptropica player you are, if you’re looking for the perfect gift this holiday season, look no further than the Poptropica Game Card.

With a Poptropica Game Card, you can get a month-long Membership to enjoy our newest Islands — like Cryptids Island — and unlimited use of everything in the Store. Or, you can redeem your Game Card for 1000 Credits, and buy costumes and Gold Cards to keep forever.

Poptropica Game Cards are available at several major stores throughout North America. They’re a great gift for the Poptropican in your life.

Happy holidays from Poptropica!

I also threw together this nice little graphic for the occasion. 😀

Really all I did was take a poptropica wallpaper and edit the game card in. xD

News you can Mews

https://i0.wp.com/www.mewsfoundation.org/images/GiantSquid.jpg

Sorry I’ve been posting so much lately. I figured you guys were getting bored of me so I was going to let someone else do it for a change, but I figured up-to-date news is more important. So, here goes.

First of all, there’s a new Creator’s blog post about the Cryptids Island preview.

Cryptids Island in the wild

Well, well, well — look what’s sneaked its way onto the Poptropica map.

You can visit Cryptids Island now for a special sneak preview! You’ll be dropped on the shores of Loch Ness. Check out the viewfinder next to the castle to see the amazing sights. If you’re lucky, you might even spot Nessie!

Anyone who does see the Loch Ness Monster through the viewfinder will win a special prize (and Poptropica Members get even more time to look). You can try once per day, so if you don’t see her today, try again tomorrow!

This post has been brought to you by our good friends at the Mews Foundation.

Well, that says just about all doesn’t it. Keep looking through the viewfinder every day to hopefully get a picture of Nessy. (When someone on the PHB gets the prize we’ll tell you what it is.)

Credit to -jEllo- for cheat: If you look through the viewfinder, then save your game and log back in you can use it again. Repeat the process to look through it for as long as you want. Be sure to send us some pictures if you find him, we’ll give you credit!

Also, if you click on that link it takes you to Poptropica’s new sponsor, The Mews Foundation. (mewsfoundation.org)

Which is very funny because that is not a real organization. They actually made a whole site just for a business from Poptropica! (What a work effort!)

Visit our sponsor!

We are very pleased to inform you that the official Poptropica blog is being sponsored by our benevolent overlords at the Mews Foundation. Their interest in the more… unusual frontiers of science is one that all of the Poptropica Creators can get behind. The truth is out there, and the Mews Foundation is going to find it.
