PHB Special: Guess That Poptropican, Round 3

LJ

Hola amigos! Quite a few of you thought it would be fun if I held a third round of Guess That Poptropican, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do! If you don’t know what the game is about, check out the first round for instructions. For those of you that do know the drill, the same rules apply. Can you guess a random Poptropica character from a small number of clues? Let’s see. Good luck!

Easy

Poptropican 1

  • My favorite color is green
  • I have my very own in-game action figure
  • I appear on many islands as a cameo
  • I’ve even been featured on a couple of Poptropica’s YouTube videos
  • My exact whereabouts today remain unknown

Poptropican 2

  • I have an occupation
  • My shifts are usually very quiet
  • I wear an apron
  • I have big hair
  • I appear in both original Poptropica and Poptropica Worlds

Medium

Poptropican 3

  • I come from a ranch
  • I act as your transportation
  • I must be tamed
  • I have a tail

Poptropican 4

  • I come off as very odd and mysterious
  • I have a secret identity
  • I keep my illusion skills hidden
  • I have curly hair

Hard

Poptropican 5

  • I like to sign autographs
  • I care very much about my fans
  • I am very violent and aggressive

Poptropican 6

  • I wear goggles
  • I want to steal items from all over Poptropica to create my own evil island
  • I use a school supply as a weapon

In order for your answers to be considered correct you’ll need to list the exact name of the character in its entirety (some characters may have multiple names so either is acceptable). The first person to get all 6 correct will win a drawing of their Poptropican by me. (You can check out my gallery on DeviantArt or Instagram for a reference of my art.)

So send in your guesses to [email protected] for your chance to win. The results will be posted as soon as we have a winner. We’ll talk soon, pop on!

Contests, Fairy Tale Island

A fairy whimsical walkthrough with fashionably late fan art 🧚 🖌️

Purple Paw

Hey there everybody! Purple here with a couple tidbits of news on Fairytale Island; and the long-awaited winners of its own fan art challenge. Let’s pop to it!

As you’ll see on their official YouTube channel, the Poptropica Creators recently posted a brand-new video spotlighting none other than good old Fairytale Island itself! In this video, Silent Frog from Poptropica HQ brings us on a full walkthrough of the newly released island. (For a written walkthrough, check out the PHB’s Fairytale Island Guide!)

It’s the first time we’re hearing the name Silent Frog, but it’s possible she’s posted for the Creators before without using a screen name, since her character looks familiar. 🐸

Silent Frog speaking with the prince on Fairytale Island.

If you watched all the way to the end of this YouTube walkthrough, you’ll find something especially exciting waiting in store. As it turns out, the Creators didn’t entirely forget about the Fairytale Fan Art Challenge, and decided to showcase three promised winners at the end of the video! Congratulations to criahacesium, v.a.m.p.y.r.a, and elisabethian1912 for winning the art contest. (And check out more fairytale fan art features here, here, and here!)

Silent Frog tells us that there was so much talent in the art submissions that the Poptropica team ended up having to randomly pick three winners from a hat, which brings up some suspicions about the delay in announcing the winners (which were originally meant to be revealed on April 23). How did picking names from a hat take such a long time?

We get an answer from an email that the Creators sent to one of the official blog’s guest writers, Invisible Ring, who asked them directly. Ring shared the message with us on our Discord server, the PHC:

As it turns out, they waited to release the winners in their walkthrough video instead of posting it on the date they’d promised. This isn’t the first time they’ve deserted us and only bothered to explain why after a fan directly asked them about it, but at least they apologized for their mistake and are aiming to do better!

The three winning pieces from the fairy fan art challenge

Finally, to wrap up this post, the Creators mentioned briefly on their blog that a new fan challenge will be making its appearance sometime soon. I wonder what this one could be? 👀

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you all next time!
