Two evil geniuses……one mini game. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!!!!

Two evil geniuses have entered Poptropica… what could be worse? Oh hi guys, just stopping in to say… NEW MINI QUEST! And new Einstein costume in the store, for 75 credits of course. If you get it, you can also read a chapter from the new book ‘Who Was Albert Einstein?’. (Isn’t he the guy that made E = MC2?) Here’s a picture:

Happy Birthday Einstein!

Albert Einstein was born March 14, 1879. To celebrate his birthday, there is an outfit that comes with a free chapter from a book about him called, “Who Was Albert Einstein?”
Now you can look just as smart as Einstein, as you think deep thoughts, and read about his life.To formulate a powerful equation, hit the space bar.
(You can purchase the full version of the book by Jess Brallier today! Click Here.)

Coskit: Einstein was born on March 14. 3/14. 3.14. The first digits of pi. Coskit’s (and Hijuyo’s) favorite number. I know…by now….314 digits of pi. Yes, 314 again. 😀

Neat Whale: Well, the Creators have finally opened up the new Dr. Hare mini quest that we have waited long for, even though that evil rude mind-controlling Dr. Hare is back anyway… but let’s get on with it… the quest costs 250 credits to play (CREATORS! WAY TOO HIGH!) the Haunted House quest was FREE! FREE I SAY! A FREE 50 CREDS!.. ..ok, ok, I’ll calm down now….. and here’s the guide that I wrote to help you all out:

1 – The quests begins! Jump up onto the rocks and ledges until you reach a metal-looking-ish thing with a Rabbot sign above it (that sign never stops scaring me) and a box of carrots on a rock near it (Not again!) Enter the building. Then you will appear in another metal looking room. Why all the metal, Dr. Hare. Just wondering. It makes your hideout standout. Get it?…Um ok yea moving on…

2 – Go right over a floating platform to the right, near an ad for membership (very nice, Dr. Hare. Ads. I love it.) Then you will come across a man with a pink eyepatch (not very manly sailor) pink lab coat (still not manly) and clipboard. Talk to him. He will tell you that you are in one of Dr. Hare’s secret lairs, he was a mind-slave of Dr. Hare, and that he made a very creepy looking robot to the right which will help him with evil plans. Again with the evil plans. Why not good plans? Why? Click on the robot cage to your right. You then say that you need three colored cards. Go back on the sliding-down thingy and go right once at the bottom. Click on the red Dr. Hare door.

3 – (This is beginning to seem a lot like the Race to Witch Mountain thing, huh?) Go right after the stupid annoying little laser like thing and get on the floating thing with a box. Then, let it pull you up until you’ve reached a platform with a red button at the end of it. Push the box onto the red thing. The blocked door above will open. Now, to get to the upper platform, go left and hide behind the carrot boxes from the guards (creepy looking right?) Then jump up, jump right, and get the red key card.

4 –  Now, go left above the bearded guard, and hop onto yet another floating platform with a box. When you come across another flooring, push the box onto it because it has the purple (purple is the best color in the world, just saying) button. Then go back on the floating platform and ride it up to the other platform with bearded guard on it, hide behind a box, and then jump up onto the now unlocked room with the purple card. (Purple is still awesome.)

5 – Now, go down down down. Below the entrance. Below the thing with more lasers. And ride another platform down where you have to hide behind another box from a weird person with an afro. A little farther over from you it the blue card slot. Now, ride the platform up again above the thing with lasers, and go to the edge. There should be a box at the end. Push the box off the end and it will smash on the ground near/on the blue switch. Push it onto it if it isn’t already on it. If you push it off the end like I did the first time, you’re dead and you need to start over. Now if it is on it, yaeeeey for you and run over on top of the other platforms with the lasers, onto the moving platform, into the room with the blue card, then you grab the blue card, scream with joy, ride the floating platform back up again, go out through the entrance… you get the main idea.

6 – Rush up to the top where the robot is, open it up with your cards, and–WHAT?! Only 50 credits?! RIP OFF CREATORS!! RIP OFF!!! And the costume only makes you a robot. Now where’s Dr. hare? I wanted to blast him off into space again because last time it was fun. Well? WHERE IS HE?! Wait he’s still in space? Awww mannn… 😦 Well that fun anyway zD

Hijuyo: Check out this sneak peek posted on the Poptropica Facebook page! It looks like it belongs on the upcoming Mythology Island. This sketch was filed under a photo album titled “The Making of Poptropica”, and the description says, “A palace fit for a king — or maybe somebody even more powerful than that.”

Magical Mischief

Reality TV Island is now available for members only! You can expect the Poptropica Help Team to provide help guides [PHB] and videos [PHV] as soon as possible – just stay tuned. ^_^ ~Hijuyo

In the past few days, Master Mime has been up to mischief and messing about in an unsafe area offering little protection – it looks like a sinister green river – and is that a monster tail sticking out?! o_O

Many of the PHB’s readers (who are very much into mythology) have pointed out that this could be the River Styx. It’s a good thing there’s a boat so you don’t fall into the deep and dangerous liquid below! Thanks to Spider880 for this update alert.

Blog Post Title: Help me
Description: I don’t know who allowed access to this cave but this area is obviously unstable and they didn’t even offer me a hardhat. Besides, what is that weird, green thing in the water?

Up for some magic tricks? [Pssst… it comes with a beard and mustache for your character!] Girls and boys each have different versions of the magnificent ‘Magician’ costume, now available at a Poptropica Store near you!

Thanks for this update alert, Bobitator. And as PHB reader Orange Tummy pointed out, the Creators must be watching and know that we all love facial hair. xD

Also, the stalkers of our Poptropica Help Forums community noticed a fan page on top social networking site Facebook that seems to be from the official Poptropica Creators:

http://facebook.com/Poptropica

Although not officially confirmed to be the real deal, it seems very likely to be [in fact, Jess M. Brallier of Funbrain, is a part of this group!]. It is not known why the Poptropica Creators mentioned nothing about this Facebook fan page on their website Poptropica.com yet. But if you’re already on Facebook, join the hundreds of Poptropica players who have already become fans! (:

Fish Nuggets!

Hungry for godly food? Then you’ll definitely enjoy Mythology Island! 😉 Here’s the post from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog (Thanks for the update, Bobitator!) :

A Meal Fit for a God

Today on my adventures I was especially hungry so I searched high and low for a bite to eat. Luckily for me this new island had a great eating establishment. Is that fish I see?!

You can tell it’s from Mythology Island because of the design of the restaurant is, well, Greek temple-ish. 😀 The title of the post also gives it away too. 😛

Man, after so many poptropicans gave Comic Kid hot dogs, he’s still hungry?! His poor mother… imagine how much she had to cook for him!

Well, that’s all for this post. See ya!

Meet Da Minotaur

My first real post! Hope you like it! Anyway, the new buzz in Poptropica is the PCB post, Meet the Minotaur.

Meet the Minotaur!

Wonder what they charge for admission?

HADES

The one and only Hades at 2:13 PM

It features Hades next to a Meet the Minotaur sigh pointing upwards, and it says “Wonder what they charge for admission?” It also shows a step-like formation of rocks in the background, which you probably have to climb in order to…..da da da daaa…..MEET THE MINOTAUR! Roar!

If any of you are unsure as to what a minotaur is, it is a humanoid creature with abnormally large height and a bull’s head, complete with sharp horns. If you have read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the Minotaur is mentioned in the first book, the Lightning Thief.

In other – random – news, I took the Mensa I.Q. test designed for PHd’s, and I am officially a certified genius (and then some!) Awesome!

Hope you liked my very first post!

DaVinci… out!

Kickin’ it with the Creators

Hey guys!

Coderkid here. It seems like the Creators have LOTS of free time all of a sudden…*mystery music plays* Anyway, the Creators made 2 blog posts, IN A ROW. I don’t think I’ve seen them this active before… o_O However, here are dar dem updates.

#1 – Reality TV Island Sneak Peak!

By now, we can definitely say for sure that Reality TV island has not been abandoned, and perhaps was even resurrected because of our protests. This post by Dr.Hare shows us a shot of RTV that we’ve seen before (see this post by Comic Kid), except we can see that they’ve changed the sign…here’s the new post.

Knock, Knock!

Who’s there?
Watson
Watson who?
Watson TV today?

Here’s the other post (it’s an old one, but it shows the same scene), by Comic Kid Oct. 1, 2008.

Comfortable Living

Here is a sneak peak from an upcoming island.

– Posted by Comic Kid.

So they changed the sign…why? Who knows. 😛 Probably a change in plot…

#2 – New Wallpaper!

Soon after Dr. Hare made his post with the updated sign, Shark Boy makes this post about the Counterfeit Island wallpaper!

Counterfeit Island Wallpaper

If you’re a fan of Counterfeit Island, you’ll enjoy this new Poptropica wallpaper!

– Posted by Shark Boy.

Pretty spiffy wallpaper, eh? xD Me likes…but I doubt I’d want to be spending any time with the Black Widow. Mostly simply because she’s EVIL.

So what do you make of all these updates? It seems like the Creators are working on 2 islands at the same time…Reality TV island and *gag* M-m-mythology island. Eww…

But anyway, post your interesting or creative comments and questions in the comments beloooowwwww…

Oh and Creators, I know you probably hate me, or at least have disdain for me (:P), but if you read this pleeze bring the Scavenger Hunts back. And if you don’t, just know that I know where EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU LIVE. I’m not kidding. That is all. 😀
