Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here. The Creators announced the winners for the final weekly Island Hopper Sweepstakes winners! And here they are:

Congratualtions to Greedy Turtle, Happy Heart, Lucky Club, Skinny Tiger, and Sleepy Sky! 😀 If one of these Poptropicans is yours, you’ve just one yourself a one-month membership for Poptropica!

Be sure to tune in soon, because the Creators will be announcing the winners of the overall Island Hopper Sweepstakes including the winner of the grand prize, a 30 minute call with Poptropica Creator, Jeff Kinney.

Now onto a little segment I like to call the Twitter Roundup!

TwitterRoundup

(Thanks to HPuterpop for help on the logo)

First off, the (currently unknown) Creator running the Poptropica Twitter account has begun a really cool “series” of tweets, in which they show off Poptropica fan blogs.

The PHB was lucky enough to be the first blog to be shouted out, which is a super big honor!

Even PHB author, Slippery Raptor, got a shoutout for his blog:

Also, apparently Poptropica has moved to a new HQ, while still staying in the city of Boston. The official Twitter has been tweeting out some images from the new headquarters, which you can check out below:

Speaking of Mystery of the Map, you may have noticed that the main trio is pretty racially diverse – according to Kirkus Reviews, Oliver is white, Mya is Asian, and Jorge is Latino. But Oliver and Mya are siblings – how does that work? Well, it turns out they’re half-siblings!

So, that about wraps up this post. Are you excited to see the winners for the overall Island Hopper Sweepstakes? What do you think about the  series? How about the new Poptropica HQ? Comment below.

Greetings Hawk-tropicans! This is Giant Hawk speaking, and today, I’ve got some awesome assorted news for all of you. Joy to the Poptropica world!

First off, our lucky Week 4 winners of the Island Hopper Sweepstakes have been announced! Congratulations to Fearless Big, Prickly Lion, Sporty Claw, Spotted Seal, and Thirsty Penguin!

In other news, guess what has come to the Poptropica App?

appdate

The Holidays have, of course! And on this most festive of updates for this most festive of times, there’s a lot of merriment to indulge in! This includes:

  • a free costume pack of hats, scarves, and sweaters
  • a premium paid bundle of a Jack/Jill Frost and Yeti costume, and a holiday pet follower
  • non-members take note: a free download of Escape from Pelican Rock Island! (Having trouble with EFPR? Check out the PHB’s Escape From Pelican Rock Island Guide!)

But that’s not all the news I have for you today! No sir.

Poptropica’s music composer, Jeff Heim, has just released a mastered mix of a live recording of Carnival Ride, a track from the Poptropica app! The live recording was done by the Western European Symphony Orchestra in Portugal. More details about the making of this track can be found on Mr. Heim’s Facebook page.

Not only can you listen to the track on Soundcloud, he’s made it available as a free download! Enjoy!

This song really is a joy to hear, so don’t miss out on listening to it!

Until next time…

EFPR Island Guide up & Week 3 Sweepstakes Winners!

Slanted Fish

Heyyy Poptropicans!

Escape From Pelican Rock got you grumbling like Big Tuna? Maybe you should stay away from angry criminals, but if you’re having trouble on Poptropica’s newest island, the PHB’s Escape From Pelican Rock Island Guide is now up! The written walkthrough is complete, and pics are coming soon.

efpr11

Don’t worry, non-members, Poptropica’s Twitter says you’ll get to play EFPR Island by the end of December 2015! (For now, non-members can play a demo.)

In other news, Week 3 of the Island Sweepstakes has just passed, and once again 5 lucky winners were selected to win a one-month membership from Poptropica! Congratulations to Cool Dragon, Cool Walker, Crazy Ant, Short Feather, and Super Dragon!

For all the details on how you can enter and win, check out this PHB post all about the Island Hopper Sweepstakes.

The new common room on EFPR Island is Bert’s Basement Gym, which should add one more chance to win if you can get the ticket, except the common room appears to not be working at the moment… We’ll be stalking that common room until it opens, I guess.

Update: The common room is now open, so be sure to grab your extra sweepstakes ticket! Also, looks like we’ll be awkwardly walking on air until they fix that. (Thanks to Hyper Gamer for the tip.)

And just a friendly forewarning to all our PHB readers – we have tons of posts planned for this final month of 2015, so keep your heads up! Here are a few we’ve released recently:

Anyway, stay popping, Poptropicans! Until next time.

Over on the Daily Pop, we’re seeing some sneak peeks of nature! Not sure what all these trees and huts are about just yet, but at least one of these pictures seems to be for the next Poptropica graphic novel. Plus, it looks like the Home Island revamp mentioned earlier is getting more polished, with a shop building on a ship! (For more, check out our Daily Pop Sneak Peeks Archive!)

Hut and Stuff: Quit your jibber jabber.
Under Construction: Open during renovations.
South Pacific: This is some enchanted evening.
Hands Up: The end of the line.
Old Growth: It’s a jungle out there.
