Hey guys, BT here. Now, the Creators actually posted TWO pieces of big news over the short span of two days! The first piece reveals the next classic island to get an update with sound and bigger screen… Time Tangled!
Yes, it seems that Poptropica’s 3rd island will be next to get this update.
And there’s a bigger piece of news that has spawned…
Well, the Creators finally announced it with everything but the Poptropica Store Members Only Gold Cards and the exact date of its arrival. Here’s the video trailer for the island:
(Is that a reference to the weird YouTube viral video “Cows & Cows & Cows” I see in the trailer?)
So I was right when I said that the Creators are parodying themselves (yes!). Anyway, the info page has some interesting info including the island’s approximate release time…
Brave Tomato: Looks like someone missed their morning coffee…
Coming mid-December!
Poptropica is under new management, and it’s falling apart at the seams! The newest Island isn’t finished, the staff is nowhere to be found, and you can’t take two steps without running into a game-breaking bug. Get ready to go behind the scenes for your most important adventure yet — because this time, you’ve got to save Poptropica itself!
An island about making an island? ISLAND-CEPTION! Time to break the fourth wall, peeps, and save our game! (Although I wonder if this is just an excuse to get away with ACTUAL bugs and glitches that can occur…)
Speaking of saving our game, here’s an odd bonus quest that… may bring in a new villain! O.O
Brave Tomato: Who’s that? And why did I think he was a girl when I first saw the pic?
Bonus Quest
A rogue programmer has conquered a rival website and now rules it like a king. You must venture outside the safety of Poptropica to bring him back — if you can last long enough to find him!
Who’s that? Is the rival website MegaFightingBots.com, that battling robots game showed in the island trailer? So many questions, yet so little answers…
By the way, the Creators just made that website real, although coming soon. This is what you’d see on the website:
The Games are alive with the roar of competition among Poptropica members, who can start playing the 2013 edition of the island RIGHT NOW! Everyone else can play starting December 5, 2013.
Be sure to check out the PHB’s Poptropolis Games Island Guide if you need help! It has now been updated with walkthroughs for the two new events, Octopus Volleyball & Skiing (volcano race).
Also, congratulations to the Wildfire tribe for helping out the most in the quest to dig up the Games! As a token of recognition, a glorious Wildfire statue has been set up on Main Street. (Next time, Flying Squid… next time…) As Poptropica is trying to roll out ‘improved’ navigation for all the islands, you’ll be able to play Poptropolis Games Island with music, sound effects, a unified menu, and bigger screen.
Members, don’t forget to collect your bonus gear from the Store! It’s the same as the 2012 pack, with the Discus item and Plant-a-Statue power. The Wrestling Gear will only be available until the end of Early Access (Dec 5).
If you’d like to see who’s finished the island already, you can do so with the World Champions Player Map! Have you completed the island yet? Where do you rank and which tribe did you join?
That’s right, the Games are going to rise, and members will get to play in Early Access starting next week! (Date not known, but presumably around November 14th as Poptropica tends to release islands on Thursdays.) Everyone else’s turn will come, but in the meantime, let’s keep digging!
Now then, let’s check out what else the Creators have been working on by the looks of a few recent Daily Pops – looks like an outdoor adventure and an encounter with some lovestruck crazies awaits…
In the Clear – Don’t be so sure about that.
Screaming Trees – I nearly lost you there.
Loving You – It’s easy ’cause you’re… well, not beautiful.
By the way, be sure to check out the previous post to catch up on all the new ads around Poptropica right now! There are games to play and prizes to collect, so have fun. :]
Main Streets sure are full this week! An ad game for Pranksgiving (a Disney XD series) can be found on Night Watch Island. You’ll have to prank both kids (Bradley and Jake) by being fast enough to press the button corresponding to the spot they’re standing on, which will trigger a prank.
There’ll be two rounds, a practice one and then the real one. You can come back every week for a new prize, with the current prize being a Zombie Turkey costume (press spacebar to scare).
An ad for the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book (#8), Hard Luck, can be found on Early Poptropica. Talk to Greg and you’ll be brought to a carnival, where you can play five games to get your fortune told.
On the Wheel of Misfortune, click to make it stop spinning. You’ll be given a random Job fortune – I got ‘nervous gardener’. In Psychic Darts, just click to aim. My result: ‘live in a bug-infested apartment’. At Balloons of Chance, just click on random balloons for your Pet fortune – mine was ‘gigantic hamster’. At the Peg Maze Daze, click on the ball at the top. My vehicle fortune was ‘sporty go-cart’. Finally, click on the Mystic Crystal Ball twice to be told your Love – I got ‘smart flower-arranger’. Afterwards, you’ll receive the 8-Ball Costume and Raining 8-Balls! power.
There’s also an ad game for Steven Universe (a new Cartoon Network series), which I found on Zomberry Island. You have 60 seconds to run all the way to the left where the donut store is and click on the door to get the cat cookies. After that, you’ll have five lives (indicated by the cookies on the lower left) to get back to the beginning without being chomped by the green creatures too many times.
When you win, you’ll be awarded the Steven Costume (with flashing star eyes!) and Crystal Gems Power (which flashes various characters from the show onscreen).
Also, Night Watch’s Main Street has a stand for Galactic Hot Dogs, the new FunBrain graphic novel which releases new episodes every Monday! Click to receive the Goober Sword and a costume of either Cosmoe (boys) or Princess Dagger (girls).
According to the Creators, over one million players have already made their way to the sea floor to help dig up the Games. And with Poptropolis Games 2013, we’ll get to enjoy the bigger screen that comes with the new navigation we’ve seen on Virus Hunter and 24 Carrot – so let’s keep digging!
Hey guys, BT here. (I KNOW IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU READ MY TEXT. >:) )
Now, we know about Poptropolis’s return, right? Well, the Creators have created a little special event (over on Poptropolis Games Island on the Map) where we are challenged to navigate the ocean depths so many times and hit the bottom as many times as you can, without getting eaten by a shark that is.
And whichever Tribe collects the most dirt will have something special on the Main Street once the island resurfaces… I’ve yet to understand what that is, yet .-. .
Well well, this’ll be interesting… wonder which tribe is gonna win? Please, help me pull this off, my fellow Black Flags…
Even this guy knows that everything is on the blogs…
Anyways, in other news, there is a sale in the Poptropica Shop! If you want a shirt with a Poptropican on it, you can get a 30% off discount when you enter the code FALL30 as a promotional code, until November 5th!
Tired of digging underwater? Well, if you haven’t already, here’s a friendly reminder to enter your spooky Halloween costume in the PHB’s 5th annual Halloween Competition! Check it out!
