Islands – Page 110 – 🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

mockpop map Two big things are happening on the map right now: 1) Poptropolis Games 2013 is now available for everyone to play, and 2) Mocktropica is now shown as coming soon!

Poptropolis players, if you need a helping hand, our Poptropolis Games Island Guide will give you tips for finishing first! Our written walkthrough includes pictures and is updated with this year’s two new events (skiing & volleyball), so check it out!

As for Mocktropica, the first members-only item is now available in the Store, and it’s a Glitch Power! Activate it to fill the screen with big blocks of pixels. Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong with the game – it’s just the special effects! The other members’ items to be released are the Unfinished Costume and Narf Follower. Anyway, here’s the glitchy goodness in action:

From now until Monday, December 9, Poptropica is offering another 30% off sale at the Poptropica Shop where you can get customized clothing! Just enter the promo code HOLIDAY30 at checkout.

The Galactic Hot Dogs stands found on Main Streets now offer new prizes: an Ice Blaster Pistol and a costume (Humphree for boys, Queen Dagger for girls).

Also on Main Streets, you might find a video ad for the Percy Jackson movie Sea of Monsters. Watch the trailer to get the Hippocampus Power!

By the way, be sure to check out the post below for answers to last week’s Mystery Snapshots puzzle! Did you get them all right? Either way, hopefully it was fun!

Think you can take on the CapriSun pros?

November 29, 2013 Slanted Fish

Poptropolis Games won’t be out of early access until this Thursday, December 5th, but until then, CapriSun’s Roarin’ Waters is here to deliver two athletic challenges in a Kids vs. Pros Playground Throwdown! You can find this ad on Main Streets such as the one on Virus Hunter Island.

To your right is Gabby Douglas the gymnast, who you must match in three rounds consisting of a flip, double flip, then a triple flip. All you have to do is watch her tricks, then when it’s your turn, click when the red button tells you to, and you’ll do a flip! The prizes are the Super Flip Power and Gymnast Outfit.

To your left is WWE wrestler John Cena, who will challenge you to tug-of-war. Just click as fast as you can to pull the rope closer to your side. When you win, you’ll get the Flex Power and In-Ring Gear.

In other news, PHB reader Silver Wolf mentioned to us that the Mocktropica Island desktop wallpaper contains a to-do list in the corner that includes “Balloon Boy Rescue Island”!

Could this mean that the island being created in Mocktropica has to do with the one who floated away on Counterfeit Island, the running gag we’ve seen occasional glimpses of ever since? Hmm…

Time to be Tangled in Mocktropica Glitches and Bugs!

November 22, 2013November 24, 2013 Brave Tomato

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…

Hey, remember Mocktropica?

…

You know, that post when I talked about how the Creators could be parodying themselves?

No? Well, here’s my post back in June when I discovered it.

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:

megafightingbots

Anyway, be sure to check out Printable Poster and the Desktop Wallpaper, as well as some sneak peeks of the island right here (or also on our Mocktropica Trivia page!):

So… I almost forgot about Mocktropica Island… Wow… seeing this’ll be the last new island of 2013, this should be interesting…

What do you guys think?

BT out!

Poptropolis Games 2013 – members play now!

November 14, 2013November 15, 2013 Slanted Fish

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?

Daily Pop, Poptropolis Games Island

Get ready for Poptropolis Games 2013 – out next week!

November 9, 2013 Slanted Fish

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.
