Hey Poptropicans! I’m back here on the PHB with a new community art collab for you all. This collaboration is themed around the genies of Arabian Nights Island, where you get to draw your Poptropican (or anyone) as a genie! Feel free to give your genie a name, and even some lore. All of the submissions will be featured on a collage to be revealed…

Happy Halloween, Poptropicans! It’s time to announce the winners of the PHB’s 16th Halloween costume contest! This year’s theme was Ghost vs Hunters, which opened the door for some spectacularly spooky looks. Without further ado, the winner of Team Ghosts is…
Put your hands together for the most gorgeous ghoul you’ve ever seen! This Masked Maiden’s voluminous hair and ballgown are eye-catching, and the half-skull mask provides a nice visual contrast with the bright makeup. Would you accept this ghost’s invitation to dance?
Let’s give a special spectral salute to Creepy Boa for making such a boo-tiful costume! But what’s a ghost without a hunter? The winner of Team Hunters is…
If there’s something strange in Poptropica, who ya gonna call? In-Specter!!! Not only does this costume have a perfect name, but it successfully captures the Ghostbusters vibe with the uniform and tech. Those heat vision goggles are sure to track any cold spots created by ghosts. Good luck with your ghostbusting ventures, In-Specter, and nice work securing the win, Jean of Pop!
Along with their costumes being immortalized in our Look Book, our winners can choose whether to receive a copy of Poptropica on Steam or a Poptropica merch item of their choice from Zazzle (up to US$20). They will also receive portraits of their Poptropicans from any PHB author of their choosing! 🏆🎮🎨
Before we go, we want to share some more costumes in our Honorable Mentions segment! Let’s start by appreciating some awesome apparitions from Team Ghosts:
Now we must return to the land of the living and check out some slayers who slayed from Team Hunters:
Thank you for joining us for this year’s PHB Halloween Costume Contest! You can find more ghostly getups in the comments section of our contest post, and you can see all of our previous costume contest winners in our Look Book.
Thank you for reading, and have a Happy Halloween!

🎵Night falls on a spooky scene, Pop fans dressing up for Halloween! In a spooky fog, on the Pop Help Blog… For our contest, there’s a ghostly theme!🎵
Welcome, everyone, to the Poptropica Help Blog. It’s time for the 16th PHB Halloween Costume Contest! Inspired by how Poptropica ghosted the fandom and the game, we’re returning to an older format for this year’s theme: Ghosts vs Hunters! 👻🏹
For every ghost wandering the earth, there is a hunter searching for it. For this year’s costume contest, we’re on the hunt for the spookiest specters and the coolest catchers. You may stand firmly for either Team Ghosts or Team Hunters, but you always have the option to play both sides. 😉
To get in the spirit of things (pun fully intended 😜), the PHB split between the two teams and made some costumes to inspire everyone!
Special thanks to Magic Kid for drawing the banner and PHB header for this year’s costume contest! 👩🎨
Good luck to all of you ghoulish ghosts and hardy hunters in Poptropica! We can’t wait to see your boo-tiful costumes! Now log in and slay! 💘
Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Howdy, Poptropicanos! 🤟Last month, over on the PHC, we had our much-anticipated Kahoot game, and it was such a fun time! We had a packed house with 10 players (maximum without Kahoot!+ ☹️) playing the game. A big thank you to everyone for joining and helping make this a success. You guys were awesome!
I thought I’d have to awkwardly fill the silence in the voice chat, but it turned out that wasn’t the case whatsoever. Everyone was full of energy and enthusiasm as they attempted to guess the answers to the 21 questions in the game. How many do you think you can get right?
Sleepy Biker rose to the top by answering 15 questions correctly, earning first place! Just behind were Lazy Kid and Cherry, who each answered 14 questions correctly, finishing in 2nd and 3rd places. Shoutout to runners-up, Magic Poptropican & Bony Bones, as well!
While I was chatting with Sleepy Biker, she remembered that I had drawn her Poptropican not too long ago. As a result, she generously offered her Poptropica Portrait prize to the second-place winner! Here you go, Lazy Kid. I hope you like it. Your character is awesome!
I had a blast putting this together! I’m sorry if some of the questions were a little too tough but just know that you’re all true fans in my eyes! (I know some of you joked about feeling like fake fans. 🤣) I can’t wait for our next game night, whether we play Jeopardy, Family Feud, Gartic Phone or something else.
Wazzup Poptropicanos, it’s LJ here! 🤟Who’s ready to play Kahoot? Mark your calendars. I’m hosting a Poptropica Kahoot Challenge on Sunday, April 13 @2:30pm PST, on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC), and you’re all invited to participate! (must be 13 or older)
If you’re not aware of Kahoot, it’s a multiplayer quiz game where players can join by entering a pin on a mobile app (on Android and iOS) or via the website and compete in friendly competition.
Your device acts as a remote control to answer questions displayed on the host’s screen (mine). When the game starts, everyone has to answer the questions before the 20-second timer runs out. Also, the faster you answer, the more points you’ll earn if you’re correct. The player with the most points at the end wins! (see prize at the bottom of the post) 🥇
Here’s how it’s going to go down: To get in on the game, you’ll need to join the Poptropica voice channel on our Discord server. You’ll find it on the bottom left corner of your screen. If you’d rather not share your voice, just click the microphone icon to mute yourself. I know many of you are familiar with how Discord works, but this is for anyone who might be new or not quite in the loop.
For an optimal experience, you’ll need two devices—one for viewing my shared screen and another for answering the questions. You can try your luck at one device, but personally I find it more difficult to keep up with that way.
You can expect 20 questions that vary from super simple to those that require a bit more thought, so be prepared for anything!
Other than bragging rights, the player with the top score will receive a portrait of their Poptropican created by me if they would like it! 😁 Check out some of my artwork to see what you can look forward to. You’ll be able to choose between a more realistic style or a style akin to the OG Poptropica look.
I know some of you are longing for the next Tribal Tournament, so I figured it’d be a blast to play a competitive game together to help make that wait easier. Come join your fellow Poptropicans for a fun time and put your knowledge to the test! Remember, Sunday @2:30pm PST. (Use a time converter to find out what time it’ll be for you.) Hope you can make it! 🍀
