Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 3 of 6)

Hey guys, BT here. The latest page of Pandemic Panic had been released!

Um… an important rule in life: if you leave something important unguarded, then it is likely the wrong person’s gonna take it.

So it seems that one of the poor tourists on that bus will mistake the jar containing the CC13 virus for something else and end up with that deadly virus himself. It is likely that that unlucky tourist with the bad souvenir would be Joe Stockman/Patient Zero. If only the doctors had taken the infected jar with them…

BT out!

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic (2 of 6) & Dream Island contest

It’s August, and that means a couple of things for Poptropica – new Poptropica books are out, and the Create Your Dream Island Contest has begun! The map has been updated too (thanks ayman351!):

First, Virus Hunter Island! The second page of the Pandemic Panic comic is here, continuing from the first part, and here our PDC heroes are stopped by a lovely Canadian Mountie and capture an innocent-looking Labrador Duck with a deadly CC13 virus. What the heck are you all doing, eh?

You’re going to need to be fit if you want to survive Virus Hunter Island, because the Expectation-Free Zone gym there wants to get you pumped up (and they say they’re expectation-free…):

As for the second new icon (the island contest), clicking on it will bring you to a page for the Island Creator Kit, containing a video message from Jeff Kinney:

Well, that’s all for now! Go get your creative juices flowing so you’ll have a stellar entry for that Create Your Dream Island Contest before it ends in December! (And if you win, you know it might just be the most exciting thing that happens in your childhood!)

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 1 of 6) & info redesign!

Hey guys, BT here. Remember the Zomberry: Day Zero comics released throughout last December? It seems that that same artist is back, this time doing a backstory for the upcoming Virus Hunter Island! Like the Zomberry comic, there will be 6 pages. The first page was released yesterday:

So it seems from the look of things, Dr. Lange and her two colleagues are searching for this “dangerous creature”, casually ignoring ferocious animals. The “dangerous creature” is most likely the virus we’d have to fight throughout the island. From the looks of things, and the NanoBot Training, Dr. Lange seems to be a pretty eccentric character (as well as a rare female leading doctor, the last one being Lunar Colony’s Dr. Salerno).

Speaking of Virus Hunter Island, its official island information page has been given a major makeover! Still no news of the release date, and the other islands have yet to be privileged with the same upgrade.

So what do you guys think?

The final installment of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic is here!

(click here to enlarge the comic)

…And it looks like poor Joe’s soul has been claimed as well. The cause of the apocalypse, as we now know, is eating fruit! Now, how to save the town of Eastman is another story, which we’ll find out soon in the upcoming Zomberry Island. This ending is only just the beginning.

If you want to catch up with the rest of the comic, check out: part 1part 2part 3part 4, and part 5 right here on the PHB. Stay alive!

Light is bad, bad stuff (Zomberry: Day Zero – Part Five of Six)

You’re warm and sleepy in bed, having dreams of chocolate and zomberries. The room is nice and dark and you float around in Poptropica, perhaps scaring tourists in Shark Tooth Island or laughing at all those humble Poptropicans dutifully packing up their bags to go camp out for Zomberry Island. Everything is just perfect. perfect, that is, until-

“Oh, no, momsie! You absolutely must turn off the light now!”

“It’s time for school, get up now.”

I’m positive this scenario has occurred to every Poptropican more than once. Don’t be ashamed to admit it. We’re all in this together.

Anyway, it appears that those epic zombies (or are they epic?) of Zomberry Island need to be stopped! And who better than Joe to stop them? Here we continue on with our epic story, Zomberry: Day Zero!

Well, Poptropicans, it seems that we all share one common trait with zombies; we all burn from light on certain days. What if… *epic gasp* the moral is that Poptropicans are the real zombies?

The whole idea of a zombie apocalypse is fresh in my mind due to the idea of zombie and berry being together in one sentence. Zomberry is such a nice word, isn’t it?

Remember to check back here, the PHB, for details. Everything you need to know for Zomberry Island will be brought to you here, by us! And while you’re at it, why not check out the island guides and complete any islands you’re missing? That way, you’re all ready to go when Zomberry Island comes out!

P.S. Did you guys notice how we got left with a cliffhanger until Monday?
