Category: Counterfeit Island

Some of the world’s most famous artwork is on display at the island’s museum, but rumor has it someone’s out to steal it. Can you explore the dark and dangerous side of Counterfeit Island and save the day in this crackling canvas caper?

Candy Canes and Proof that Counterfeit Island is coming soon!

Hello, fellow poptropicans! =D Some of you might have noticed that there’s 2 new delicious looking store items (Thanks, Bobitator!) and 2 new Creators’ posts!  There’s also now a page about Counterfeit Island telling what the plot of the island is.  =D

In the Poptropica Store, there’s two new items:

  • FREE candy canes.  YESH, THEY IZ FREE!!! =O
  • A new Candy Cane Outfit for 75 credits!

Shark Boy made a new post about the new items:

Get your CANE on!

To make the Poptropica holiday season a little more festive, we are giving out FREE candy canes in our store! You can also impress (or scare) your friends with the Crazy Candy Cane Costume. Happy Holidays!

If you press the spacebar while holding the candy cane, you can throw it up in the air! 😀 THANK YOU, CREATORS!

Celebrate Christmas this year on the summit of chilly Mount Everest!

Anyway, there’s another post on the Creators’ Blog, by Master Mime!  (Thanks, Johnny!) It shows some sketches of the Counterfeit Island Gate Keeper.  0_o He scares me…

Doesn’t he scare you too?  0.o The title of the post was “Counterfeit Island Gate Keeper”, and the description was:

Here is some concept art for Counterfeit Island. Watch out for the Gatekeeper! You will only like him when he’s…crazy.

I think he’s crazy enough. 😛 xD If you look at the homepage, there’s a link to a page about Counterfeit Island’s plot!  (Thanks, TyrianCF!)

When you click on it, you will be lead to this page:

So, the description talks about the plot, saying that you will have to explore the “dark and dangerous side of Counterfeit Island” and save the famous artwork from the person who’s out to steal it.  This probably includes that Thomas Jefferson painting, and the Scream.

Yup, this is pretty much it. 🙂  Be sure to check out the new Poptropican’s 911 below!

Hey everyone! =) Comic Kid posted a new sneak peek of the new Counterfeit Island coming up! (Thanks for the update, Happy Storm!) It shows a cute little cottage, as shown below:

I’m not sure if the owners of the cottage would like having some poptropican by the name of Comic Kid in their house… xD  The title of the post was “A little getaway” by -of course- Comic Kid.  😛 The description in the post was:

While exploring more of Counterfeit Island, I saw a quaint little cottage just outside of town, that would be a great vacationing spot.

I wonder what the cottage would have to do with the plot of the island… oh well, we’ll find out soon. =D (I hope, at least. 0_o)

Anyway, you probably noticed the [TOTALLYAWESOMEANDCOOLANDAWESOME] snow falling when you view the blog.  😀 It looks AWESOME and helps to get you in that wintery mood. 🙂

If you’re ever feeling bored, you might want to check out the silly, random short stories created by some of the awesome people at the PHF chat.  (Note: all of them are completely fiction, and I did not actually smell grass. 0_o)

I think I overused the word “awesome” in this post.  Oh well, who cares?  Awesome is an awesome word. 😀

Awesomely signing off,

New Creators’ Blog Posts! YIPPIE!

Creators' Blog Post: "At the Station"

Seriously Dr.Hare? I mean you really can’t talk about going to jail, you’ve been there yourself at least 10 times.

“I’m talking to the, man in the mirror! I’m askin’ him to change his ways!” XD

Anyway, back to the post. Isn’t that the kid from the Fuel Up Ad, minus the “UGH-OUR-SCHOOL-MENU-SUCKS” mouth? Just an observation. =D

This post is obviously referring to the infamous Counterfeit Island. Here’s what PHF member Shaggy Tornado had to say about it, and I agree:

Awesome!
i think i know what the plot is about! A thief stole a painting and left a forgery, a counterfeit (hence the name) and u have to look for the painting and the thief!

Sounds possible, right? But of course, there’d be lots of other things in the plot, not just what Shaggy thought. I think that Master Mime is the head honcho of some huge counterfeit operations, and we’ll have to take him down.

Creators' Blog Post "Now this is what I call art!"

In this other Counterfeit Island Sneak Peak from the Bard, we can obviously tell that:

  1. The Bard is inside an art museum
  2. The picture in the frame is obviously not the one that’s really there
    in Counterfeit Island
  3. This sneak peak further proves the “stolen painting” plot, stated above

The Binary translates to “The Scream”, a painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.

Also, has anyone noticed that the Creators are posting ALOT? I mean did their free time just double or something?

New Ad: “Night at the Museum 2”!

New Poptropica Ad: "Night at the Museum 2"

OK, first of all: WHY WOULD ANYONE, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANT TO RE-ASSEMBLE A DINOSAUR? They’d have to have a death wish. “Oh thanks for putting me back together…I’ll just skip to the end of this and eat you.”

The goal of this ad is to find all of Rex’s Bones and re-assemble him. Once you do that, you get an awesome “Museum Guard” outfit, and Rex gets dinner. Works out for both of us, right? 🙂

S0me of you may remember how in my previous post I talked about finding a flashlight. When I posted about that on the PHF, member Serious Glove guessed that the flashlight would be apart of this ad! Congrats SG!

Before I end this post, I wanna say that I’ll be modifying The Poptroportex to include this ad!

*eye twitch* This is just TOO awesome Creators!  I wonder if we’ll get to ride it through the whole island, or will it be like the Hoverboard on Astro-Knights or the boat race on Big Nate!

And who is this new Creator, Master Mime? I think it’s safe for us to assume that he’s the villain (or one of, it is called “Counterfeit” Island) on Counterfeit Island!
 
Or, he could be a good guy. As you might know, mimes like to act things out without saying a word; so perhaps the mime of Counterfeit Island will be giving us clues?

I also forgot to mention that on one of my other Poptropica accounts, I found a flashlight from an upcoming ad in Poptropica! Check it out!

Original Post:
Everyone’s heard of Counterfeit Island (well, anyone who’s read the other posts), so this will pretty much simply confirm it more for you. If you haven’t heard of it, you’ve been living under a rock without internet access. The new Creators’ Blog post is about the characters on Counterfeit Island.

And so we have a: Police Officer, Construction Worker, and Clerk. Is it just me, or does the clerk look…I dunno, Frenchy? No, not French Fry Frenchy, but French Island Frenchy?  Her hat in particular. I wonder what the plot for French Is- I mean, Counterfeit Island will be. XD

Other Counterfeit Characters:
I also managed to dig up a few other costumes from Counterfeit Island. Because of this version of wordpress’ HTML restrictions, I had to post them on the PHF Blog. Click here to check em’ out!

Hello.

“After my quick break at the local cafe, I explored more of this new island to discover the people here calling it “Counterfeit Island.” What an intriguing name, I wonder why they call it that? I guess I’ll just have to explore some more to find out.”

The title of this post is “Did someone say, “Counterfeit Island?”The image used in this post is here:

In this picture, we can see Comic Kid standing on a barrel on the dock. He is close to a boat named Ribica.

The title of that picture, peculiarly, is little_fish.jpg.

Analyze: We can safely assume that this place is on the same island as the Jazz Cafe that we recently saw in this post due to this excerpt from the post above:

“After my quick break at the local cafe, I explored more of this new island“

Unfortunately, our predictions of a continuation of French Island were wrong. Instead, we have what is referred to as “Counterfeit Island.” It’s excellent that they are already working on a new island, although I hope RTV Island releases soon, as well.
