Blue is the new maroon – the sneaker race of the week!

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I’m here with an update on the sneaker race of the week!

797a8-socialmedia_featsofspeed_fb_week32b252812529

Did you hear? Maroon is sooo last week! This week, Speedy Samwow has a new pair of colored shoes to offer us if we beat this week’s race and world record. This time, we are heading towards the self-aware island of Mocktropica as we scale up Mount Funshine!

If you are able to scale this test of endurance and reach the Jardine Juniper Tree in under 40 seconds, you’ll earn those good ol’ Poptropica-blue shoes!

However, despite all the flack I’ve given maroon, you still have a chance to get them – on the mobile app that is! Now, you can race Speeding Sam at the Arabian Nights lair of thieves on the Poptropica app!

So as we wait for more details on anything related to New Poptropica, at least we still have the opportunity to make “What are thooose?” jokes for just a bit longer.

BT out!

Man, last week sure sped by fast! 😉 What’s the prize this week?

If you’re slow (wink), you wouldn’t have been able to tell my sneak peek post pretty much proves each week’s prize will be a different colored pair of running sneakers.

Anyway, meet Speedy Sam(wow5) on Home Island by his treadmill, and you’ll soon be met with another race. This time, it’s on Arabian Nights Island in the thieves’ lair! The race is a tad harder, but I still beat him on my first try, so odds are you can too. 😛

And of course, the walking effect is re-colored as well.

If you also play on the Poptropica app, you’ll be happy to know you can now race Speedy Sam there as well! The update is available for iOS and Android devices.

Have fun with the sneakers and keep running, Poptropicans!

First Day of Spring, We’re Sneezing!

Slippery Raptor

Hey guys, Slip here!

Spring has finally come, and Poptropica’s celebrating by giving us two free items— the Flower Power and the Sneezing Powder! Sorry for those who are living in the southern hemisphere, since you’re experiencing autumn right now.

The Flower Power has always been the star of the Spring season. Originally debuted on August 2009 and updated on May 2010, this item is pretty special. Not only does it work as a power where you can plant flowers, but it also works as a costume for your player! Now to spread that springtime cheer…

Moving on to the next free item: the Sneezing Powder! Originally released as a members-only prize in celebration of the release of Virus Hunter Island, this item is now free for all! When you press the spacebar, powder flies out into the distance, making you and the closest Poptropican next to you sneeze! Perfect for pranking friends! Let’s open the can to see what it’s made of — oh, pollen grains! Aaa… aaahhh-choo!

What do you think of these Spring gifts? Are they fun? Make sure to leave a comment below! Bye!

St. Patrick’s Day gifts – Leprechaun Follower and Costume!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and Poptropica is recognizing this with a couple of free items – the Leprechaun Costume from the Store is free for today, and a new Leprechaun Follower which can only be obtained if you visit Mythology Island. Odd placement!

On the follower, it says to go the 24 Carrot Island diner, mix yellow and blue, and drink it to get green hair. It also has a button that allows you to travel to the diner.

For the costume, if you press space bar while wearing it, you’ll do a comical little Irish jig! Here’s a gif of Skinny Moon doing the dance.

It’s also notable that the post on the Creators’ Blog about these items is the first post by “Skinny Moon” (Jessica from social media). I’m excited to see future posts from her! 🙂

Update: In other news, Poptropica Realms is back! Bugs have been fixed, so the experience should be smoother. Check out our Realms Guide and get building!

TAFN.

Creamy Pies and Crusty Paradise

Slanted Fish

Hey Pie-tropicans!

It’s Pi Day, 3/14, and to celebrate, you can get a free Cream Pie Toss item card just by logging in to Poptropica! If you press the spacebar, you’ll throw a creamy, scrumptious pie! Irrational yet incredible!

As you may remember from Giant Hawk’s post, this item accidentally released early over the weekend. Anyway, this item will be gone tomorrow, so cream it up while you can! 😋

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Twitter, we get another behind-the-scenes look of the Poptropica HQ in Boston, MA! That is one crusty fried zombie who took the sunny side of spring break a little too far.

Also, there’s an ad for Project Mc2 on Home Island. Inside the building, there are three project ideas that you can do, a video, and an interactive game called The Perfume Experiment which awards two prizes: the Light-Up Bracelet and Invisible Ink Pen.

The Light-Up Bracelet is a hand-held item while the Invisible Ink Pen is sort of a purse worn as an accessory. Pressing spacebar brings up a paper sheet as a pen and writes an invisible message (Nerds are cool #NAC, Smart is the new cool, or I’m smart. – get over it!)

Thanks to Tall Cactus and Yujo_Jacy_the_Jumpy_Coyote for the tip and pictures! 🌵
