Daily Pop Sneak Peeks, Escape from Pelican Rock Island

Secret sketch, prison peeks, & PHB on deviantArt!

Hey Poptropicans! The Creators recently posted a “super early” sketchpad sneak peek on their blog, featuring a bunch of Poptropicans seemingly eating something in a winter setting, with a sled and Oliver from the Poptropica comics near the center. Take a look:

This seems to be for the second book in the Poptropica graphic novel series, for which the working title is The Secret Society – check out the Q&A we had with Poptropica for more details! (The first book, of course, is Mystery of the Map, which also has its own island.)

Over on the Daily Pop, we’ve been seeing sneak peeks for what appears to be the prison-centric “Pelican Rock” island we’ve mentioned before. From the pics, it looks like it’s set in a seaside city with sushi and ferries, while inside the jail, we’ll be crawling through the cooks’ vents, dodging guard towers, creeping on birds’ nests, and more.

Also, if you like making Poptropica fan art or writing fan fiction (or simply browsing either one), or if you enjoyed the PHB’s recent HPuterpop Fan Art contest, check out We-Love-Poptropica on deviantArt! You’ll get to see Poptropica art like this drawing I recently made of the PHB team…

We-Love-Poptropica is a big (but not too big) community of Poptropicans posting Poptropica-related creations, and it’s a good way to get your Poptropica fan work out there (we also handpick some POPCORN magazine entries through the gallery!). As a plus, I was recently made an admin there. 🙂

Several of the PHB staff are members of the group, including: Brave Tomato (1313cookie), Spotted Dragon (SydVC), HPuterpop (TheKeystone), Ultimate iPad Expert, and myself (Slanted Fish).

Anyway, be sure to catch up on the posts below! Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😉

Escape from Pelican Rock Island, Sneak Peeks, Timmy Failure Island

Prisons, prizes, Timmy Failure videos and more surprises!

Hey guys! Slip here.

The Daily-Pop In may give its last prize to all tomorrow, but wait, more sur-prizes are coming to Poptropica! (See what I did there?)

Poptropica has just announced via Twitter and the Timmy Failure Island tour page that every Thursday starting August 6th, if you visit Main Street of Timmy Failure Island (until it releases to members on September 17), you can pick up a new prize each week!

The Creators didn’t tell us any more about the new prizes, but I guess we’ll have to wait for it! I believe it’ll be like the giveaway the Creators did for Virus Hunter Island in 2013.

UPDATE: Thanks to some special hax, HPuterpop managed to get the first prize before it was released! It’s a Señor Burrito Follower, and it’ll be free for everyone, coming later today. Yes, your own pet cat!

UPDATE UPDATE: This was not this week’s intended prize – but you CAN redeem this follower with the promo code BURRITO! (UPDATE AGAIN: It’s been removed from the inventory.)

Speaking of Timmy Failure Island, Early Access for members to play the newest island begins on Thursday, September 17! They’ll have a head start on the case!

The Creators also released the trailer for Timmy Failure Island, plus a special video message from Stephan Pastis (the author of the Timmy Failure series!):

In other news, check out these recent Daily Pop sneak peeks involving Pelican Rock Prison, some license plates, city scenes, and some pipes:

Plus, congrats to the PHB for reaching 19 million hits on this site today, and thanks for coming to us for Poptropica news, cheats, and more!

That’s all of the updates for now! Leave a comment telling us what you think!

Prisons and caves; masks and balloon launchers

Hey Poptropicans! If you’ve read our Q&A with Poptropica CEO Jess Brallier in this recent PHB post, you may have wondered what was meant by the ominous hint of an island to come: “Some place you don’t wanna be.” We gave a few clues in the comments, and some of you have figured it out – after Timmy Failure Island and Arabian Nights Ep. 3, we’re headed to a prison, of all places!

The Daily Pop recently revealed some jail scenes, and don’t forget about the sneak peek of dogs and police officers Poptropica tweeted as a behind-the-scenes pic:

Our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive was recently updated as well, and amid all the Timmy Failure peeks was a hint that the underground cave island had not been forgotten (although “Mole Man” is for TF Island, the caption is worth a mention). Maybe due to some nudging over on Twitter, though. 😉

On a different note, if you head over to some of the Main Streets, you may find an ad poster for Scholastic books: in particular, Tombquest, Spirit Animals, 39 Clues, and Infinity Ring. Clicking on it will give you Character Masks (a mummy, leopard, fedora, and pirate’s hat for each series respectively) and a printable Summer Wish List.

There is also a CapriSun Push Play advertisement on Night Watch Island, and the prize is a Balloon Launcher. Press the spacebar while holding it, and your character shoots other Poptropicans with blue, indigo, and green balloons. (Thanks to Cuddly Knuckle for the tip, and HPuterpop for providing pictures!)
