Category: Cryptids Island

An eccentric billionaire is promising a big reward to whoever can prove the existence of cryptids — hidden creatures. The hunt is on for Bigfoot, Nessie, and other legendary beasts. But watch out: you’re not the only one in search of these monsters…and your competitors will stop at nothing to find them!

Cryptids Island

Director D’s pick: Cryptids Island, and a moment of silence…

elmopwns

Lately as some of you may have known, the creators are putting more and more work into individually sharing those islands that they like the most. Quite naturally for some poptropican gamers, today’s island on the agenda is…

Cryptids Island!

Director D sure has a pick, huh? For those of you who haven’t yet taken the quest on this island, the main goal and plot is to hunt down exotic creatures, find evidence for their existences (such as the loch ness monster), and of course foil the plot of evildoers along the way. You can play Cryptids Island simply by visiting it on the map. Although this island has been out for over a year, it’s still quite an adventure. Nice pick, director. Honestly, though, I’d thought you’d choose Spy Island.

Further more Director D also points out his fascination over the Legendary Swords adventure! You can now pick up this gold card for free, non-member and member alike, in the poptropica store. Have fun chopping the heads of evil robots off.

Lastly, as all of you have heard the news, I’d like to take a moment of silence on behalf of those who’ve suffered greatly the past weekend. At a screening of the Dark Knight rises, twelve people were killed and 58 others injured in debilitating conditions during a shootout. The suspect even showed up in court today. This picture was an excerpt, given with permission, from cartoonist Bill Amend, which I thought suited the moment. You can read his comics at www.foxtrot.com

My prayers and thoughts are with all those in this tragedy.

Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Ugly Platters

EL-I love taking requests. So today I’ll let Captain Crawfishes 15-19 and Shark Boys 2-18 to sky dive into my mouth. Dancing.

CC 15-19 and SB 2-18-*do as EL says*

EL-That’ll save us time. To the redundant updates.

Uncostumizable

On Cryptids Island, just like everywhere else on Poptropica, you can costumize a lot of different characters. But in some cases…

Yeesh! Why would you want to?

BLACK WIDOW

EL-I find his lack of cleanliness disturbing.

Things that go bump in the night

Well! It looks like I’m not the only one. We’re hearing a lot of chatter that Poptropicans who have ventured into Cryptids Island are finding it to be a pretty scary place. As an example…

This is the least creepy thing you’ll see in this house.

Are you ready to set foot into the most frightening Poptropica Island yet? We hope to see lots and lots of you on Cryptids Island this weekend!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH 20

EL-This guy isn’t ugly. He’s just so freaken’ demented. The ghost Crawfish 1 I suppose. What will we do for Captain Crawfish 20? O.0

Cryptids Island

We constantly find the Cryptid crawfish.

A skywriter flies overhead and spells out
‘CRYPTIDS ISLAND OPEN TO ALL’

But down below, it’s the seafood that has everyone’s attention.

EL: How does it feel to be the first one in your family to go a whole post without being nommed?
Captain Crawfish 14: I don’t know, I didn’t think I’d make it this far.
EL: You won’t survive for long…
CC 14: Huh?
Hijuyo: Hicoga! Lights please!
Hicoga: Yes sir!
(Scence changes to a candlelit dinner. CC 14 is tied to a chair.)
CC 14: Huh? Why am I tied up….?
(Hijuyo & Hicoga grab silverware. EL blows out candle.)
CC 14: Oh no! …Why do you eat me slowly?
EL: I’m gentle, Crawfish. I’d only eat Shark Boy viciously.
CC 14: I suffer nice deaths. 😀
EL: I could’ve eaten you now, right?
CC 14: Uh, to the POST!

Cryptids Island is now open to everyone!

The wait is over for non-Members. Cryptids Island is now open to all!

Head on over to Poptropica and start playing now!

RIP SHARK BOY

EL: Killing two authors with one post.
Hijuyo: I thought the shark tasted pretty good, actually.
Hicoga: Yeah. We should definitely put that on our menu more often.

Cryptids Island

Unfriendly woods

Slanted Fish

Hijuyo: Hey guys! It’s Juyo&Crawfish here to remind – TUMBLR-STYLE – all you non-members that Cryptids Island comes out JANUARY 18 for us! Excited? Here’s one last sneak peek before you get to enter the island for realz!

Captain Crawfish 13: Y’know, since I’m probably the unluckiest of my family, and I’ve just been scared off by Cryptids Island so badly that I ran and hid back in my homeland, I’m not even gonna bother. In fact, you probably just brought me here to eat me.
Hijuyo: Aw, you’re no fun. :C
CC 13: -.o

Even more tales from the Cryptids

Here you have it: the moment where Cryptids Island became too frightening for me to continue, and I was forced to retreat to the friendly waters of Skullduggery Island. Seriously, these woods are terrifying!

Are you up to the challenge of Cryptids Island? Non-Members will able to play tomorrow!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Hijuyo: Really? “Too frightening” for you?
CC 13: I knew this was a bad idea…
Hijuyo: Yeah? Well, post’s over, guys! Next on our agenda… let’s see here… oh yes, that’s right, NOM THE CRAWFISHAY!
CC 13: You heartless people!
Hijuyo: |-)

CC 13: *backs into corner, cowers, and prepares to be nommed*
Hijuyo: Wow, you’re an easy one. Okay, kids, GET AT HIM!
<Large flow of PHB audience members trample on each others’ feet in a mad dash for Crawfish>

PHB guy 1: SATISFYING.
PHB guy 2: Dibs on that golden pegleg!
PHB guy 3: Mmm. Gotta love crawfish.

Cryptids Island, Daily Pop Sneak Peeks

Makeup tests on Tibetan mountaintops

Rainfall

Perhaps you know about the failed gif on the PCB a couple of days ago. Well, no need to be curiously sitting and wondering what it was all about.

Animation re-test

(Please go here to see the gif, as I am unable to copy and paste nor save it)

Nothing like a make-up exam.

SHARK BOY

Although, if you examine if long enough, you may notice that the gif does stop after a while, in the same position it seemed to be eternally stuck in on the previous post. There is a strong chance the horse may be from Wild West island, as you immediately think horsies and pretty ponies when you think cowboys!

Notice how the horse looks awfully similar to a new Daily Pop picture?

There’s also several more Daily Pop pictures– check them out!

It looks a bit like Uno– but the title does say Jack. Perhaps a Poptropica form of Slap Jack, Black Jack, or even an entirely new game!

“Now, lerkey here, Creators. Yer release Cryptids Island sooner then planned and we dun have to report you to the Sheriff. Ev’rybody wins.”

These baddies don’t scare me! *whimper*

I don’t think I want to know either…

Hey, look! There’s Captain Crawfish, kids!

RCG: Oh, hi Captain Crawfish!
CC XII: Agggghhh!
RCG: Got a toothache?
CC XII: Youre…you’re one of those bratty PHB people who always like
to eat me!
RCG: It’s all cool. I don’t like seafood.
CC XII: Oh, very well…I guess I can tell you about the new post.

Tales from the Cryptids

Cryptids Island can be dangerous for an old salt like me. Sea legs I’ve got. Mountaineering arms, not so much. Good thing I found a guide to help me out.

Cryptids Island will be open to everybody next Tuesday, January 18!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Whispers from the shadows: Mmm…salt.
CC XII: Who said that??!?!
RCG: No one. It’s okay, Crawfishy.
CC XII: Arghhh, I’m not so sure about that.
RCG: Oh, well. It’s a shame I didn’t bring any salt myself, but I guess you’re already bloated from it, living on the seas and such. It was nice knowing you. I’m glad we could become acquaintances. …Ok guys! Come on in!
*rest of PHB team appears*
CC XII: B-b-but you said you didn’t like seafood!
RCG: I never said that the others didn’t like seafood…

*THUNDER CACKLES*

(lights flicker on an off until there is complete darkness)

Random PHB Member: Hey! That’s my finger! AGGGHH! SOMEONE’S EATING MY HAND!
Random PHB Member 2: I’m eating someone’s hand? *barf*
RCG: SOMEONE GET OFF OF ME BEFORE I SMACK THEM!
Random PHB Member 3: Where’s that Crawfish Dude? He’s gotten away!

CC XII: Heh heh… now, onto my next adventure!

More tales from the Cryptids

Whether an ocean or a lake — or “loch,” as some call it — I’m always more comfortable on a boat than on land. But during my trip to Scotland in Cryptids Island, I was the passenger and not a captain. I even found time to take pictures.

Did I find proof of the Loch Ness Monster?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

RCG: *sigh* Notice the strange ridges along “Nessie”? They don’t exactly look like scales. I think you only saw truck tires or giant rusty mechanical gears.
CC XII: How’d you get here?!
RCG: Oh, I’m apart of the PHB posting a random update, and this is only written text. That means I can go where ever I want, as long as the words take me! You’re simply only typed up as well. Did I mention I’m a secret sorceress?
CC XII: That makes no sense…
