(I was availible for this day, so I posted. No need to save Friday’s post for me. Thx.)

As you probably have figured out, it’s Poptropica’s birthday this month! The Creators’ post yesterday about their surprise has been revealed!

(Poptropica was founded in September 2007. The exact date was not announced, but since these birthday balloons were released on Sept 15, it may have been officially released on this day – or it could be just that it’s the middle of the month. ~Hijuyo)

Happy 3rd birthday, Poptropica!

Some of our agents may have already figured it out — it’s Poptropica’s third birthday this month!

To celebrate, we’re giving all Poptropica fans a chance to win a special, rare outfit. All you have to do is visit any common room between now and September 30, and look for the special blue balloon with a “3” on it.

Pop the balloon, and you win!

If you don’t see the birthday balloon this time, you can keep trying. Our 3rd birthday page has all the details.

And now, it’s time to party!

On Poptropica’s 3rd birthday page is the following:

“We’re celebrating poptropica’s 3rd birthday, and we want to our loyal fans by giving YOU a present! Enter any common room between now and Sept. 30 to check out our special birthday party decorations. If you see a balloon with a 3 on it, you can pop it to receive a ultra-rare prize! (Don’t see it? Try again as much as you like!) Thanks for your support Poptropicans and remember: the best is yet to come!

This message has been approved by Balloon Boy for all audiences.”

Awesome! If anyone has been lucky enough to see the balloon and get the costume, be sure to tell us! Congrats to all the people who managed to get the costume! 😀

Update: Congrats to former PHB author Codien on getting the birthday gear! Here’s the picture below – thanks for sharing! 🙂

"Oh what a magical three years! Happy Birthday Poptropica. With Love, Codien. *I’m wearing my favourite birthday suit."

I want a Poptropica Game Card for a pair of kings

September 11, 2010September 11, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

Title’s kinda lengthy, but whatever 😛

Hi I’m Shaggy Tornado for Poptropica News! Our top article for today is about Poptropica Game Cards! Yes, you heard me correctly! Poptropica Game Cards are in stores now! (Well, just Target stores for now, but according to Poptropica they can soon be found at Toys R Us too!) Let’s go to our field reporter Black Widow for the fabulous update:

Poptropica Game Cards are available now!

If you’ve been to a Target store recently, you might have seen something interesting in the electronics section. Something that looks a little like this:

Introducing the Poptropica Game Card! Poptropica Members can use Game Cards to extend their existing Memberships by 10 weeks. Non-Members can use them either for a new 10-week Membership, or 1,000 Credits to use in the Poptropica Store. Either way, you win!

Poptropica Game Cards are available now at Target, and are coming soon to many other retailers. You know, the holidays are right around the corner…

BLACK WIDOW

BW: Now back to you in the studio ST!

Thanks. For today’s next update, there is a new ad called Pair of Kings! So far, it has been seen on Skullduggery Island, and might be for all ages. I saw it on my 12 year old account and also my 8 year old account. The kings have been kidnapped and you have to find them in a cave maze while avoiding tarantula people, mummies, and volcano lava geysers. The prizes for completing this ad are a Volcano Totem, and a Pair of Kings outfit. Loud Shark from the PHC has provided a helpful walkthrough to this ad:

Well that’s all for tonight! I’m Shaggy Tornado and this has been Poptropica News! Good night everyone! 😀

Bonus Items, Great Pumpkin Island, Sneak Peeks

And the new island is…

September 8, 2010September 9, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

I’ve seen many of you in the comments wondering about how the Creators will fit all the other new islands on a teeny tiny map. And they have heard you! In this new post, it tells you how they pumped up the map and they also tell you of the new island they are working on and are giving us a sneak peek! Before you run off, read this:

Pump up the map

Since we’ve added so many new Islands to Poptropica recently, you may have noticed the map screen has gotten a little too full. Well, no more! We’ve made a brand-new map. And it has plenty of room for even more Islands.

In fact, if you go to the map now, you’ll be able to see the next Island we’re working on — along with a sneak preview that’s open to everybody! Check it out!

SHARK BOY

Let me explain how the map works. When you leave the island, you get to control the blimp as it flies around the Poptropica map. as you pass over each island, it shows you the difficulty rank: Easy, medium, or hard. I’ll post the ranks later, because I’m sure you want to know what the new island is. If you really want to know it’s:

GREAT PUMPKIN ISLAND!

I’m sure you’re wondering WHAT THE HECK? or if I’m kidding, but i kid you not. The new island they’re working on is Great Pumpkin Island. It’s animated like Big Nate. When you get there you see a couple of signs and you also see Linus. You can talk with him about the Great Pumpkin. I wonder how this quest will turn out…. I just wonder what pumpkins, mansions, SUV’s, and driving dogs have to do with each other. Are they even on the same island? Anyway… before I forget, here are the ranks the Creators say the islands are. Bye guys! 😀

Early Poptropica: Easy

Shark Tooth: Easy

Time Tangled: Medium

24 Carrot: Medium

Super Power: Medium

Spy: Hard (This should be medium)

Nabooti: Medium

Big Nate: Easy

Astro Knights: Hard

Counterfeit: Medium

Reality TV: Medium

Mythology: Hard

Skullduggery: Hard

Steamworks: Hard

Great Pumpkin: Easy (for now)

Here’s a video by Loud Shark showing us the new map and the sneak peek of the new island:

On another note, school is starting soon for me, so I won’t be able to post as much. When school starts, I’ll only be available on Fridays. So, at all the other authors here, please save the Friday posts for me. 😀 K, thanks.

Emotions=Facial Expression, right?

Express your… expressions… on Poptropica!

For those that can’t hide their feelings

Today we added a new Gold Card item to the store. It’s called Smiley Potion. Use it like the Love Potion. You can choose one of three smiley faces to attach to another Poptropican or even yourself.I decided to put on a disguise and try it out on Spy Island. Yeah, I know. I’m pretty smooth.

MIME

Bubble #1 = D:<

Buble #2 = 8P

Bubble #3 = 🙂

I dunno if I would define you as “smooth” MM (or just ‘M’? notice it only says “MIME” after his post, not “MASTER MIME” :O Has Mr Mime lost his magnificent masterness? 😥 )

Poptropica Tips and Tricks: Emote control

You probably already know that when you’re in a multiplayer room on Poptropica, you can click the emote buttons on the side of the screen to make your character smile, cry, pout, and jump for joy. Did you know you can also do these elsewhere in the game?

A simple keyboard combination will allow you to use any of the emotes during your adventures, which lets your character react to the story as it happens.

Press Ctrl+Shift+1 to laugh at pompous jerks.

Press Ctrl+Shift+2 to cry when you receive bad news.

Press Ctrl+Shift+3 to blow your stack at a faun who’s giving you guff.

And press Ctrl+Shift+4 to celebrate getting a new item.

That’s not all! You can combine some of these emotes to create brand-new ones that you won’t see in any common room. First, start the angry emote by pressing Ctrl+Shift+3. Once your character’s face is red, but before his head pops off, enter either the happy or the sad emote!
