You’ve got a lot of nerve to step inside a busy body

Hey there Poptropicans! In case you haven’t been frequenting the Daily Pop in the past few weeks, this post will catch you up on some of the sneak peeks. Currently we’re seeing a biology-related adventure in the works and it looks like this time, we’re exploring the anatomy! Check ’em out:

(Click on an image to enlarge it.) Viruses, red blood cells, molecular structures, and more await in this island! Science geeks should be pleased. In other news…

Night Watch Island released to everyone last week. If you need a walkthrough, be sure to check out our Night Watch Island Guide, complete with words and pictures!

The next island will be Back Lot Island, as we know from a post that leaked onto the Creators’ Blog, which has now been reposted now that they’ve officially announced it!

The Poptropica LEGO CUUSOO project for Dr. Hare’s Lair currently has 3,200+ supporters. Dr. Hare is promising everyone a brand-new Bunny Balloon costume for if/when the project reaches 5,000 supporters, so I encourage you all to vote for it if you haven’t already.

How do you climb a body?

With a step bladder!

The (2nd) First 10 to Save the Mall – take 1, take 2, take 3!

(Scroll down the post for news on the members’ Back Lot Island gear pack!)

Something for the Non-Members: For the first time ever, the creators have announced the first 10 Non-Members to complete the latest island. Not only that, it is the first time that the “Top 10 Finishers” has been presented in this new 1-photo format.

Top 10 Night Watch Public Launch

Something for the Members: The new Members Only suit for Back Lot Island has been released! The Director Costume! Looks like it’s time to make this summer’s big hit blockbuster!

I will admit, I love yelling action and cut and pretending I’m J.J. Abrams just as much as the next guy but… I do wonder where in the world are the other two items, the Silent Treatment power, and the Clapperboard item? I guess only time will tell. Let’s hope that we see the next two items and a release date for Back Lot Island some time soon!

Edit: The Clapboard item has now been released! Thanks to Thing 1 for the heads up. When you activate it you yell “Take 1”  “Take 2”  and “Take 3” and slap the Clapboard together. Now we just need the final power!

Yet another edit: The final power has been released: the Silent Treatment power! You can now turn the world of Poptropica into a black-and-white world of film history with the click of a button!

Aaaand… cut!

Lights, Camera, NIGHT WATCH!

Hey guys, BT here. First of all, the mall cop adventure, Night Watch Island, is now available to the public! If you’re having a hard time coping with Eddie the coral snake and a burglar on the loose, check out our Night Watch Island guide here.

Secondly, the island Poptropica Creator Black Widow (accidentally?) slipped is now officially announced with an info page and a trailer! The PHB’s Back Lot Island page is now up too! 😀

First of all, here’s the trailer that makes you really feel like you’re watching a cartoon:

And people say that making a movie isn’t all fun and games. And here’s what the info page says:

The greatest filmmaker of all time has come out of hiding, and he needs your help to make his masterpiece. But will you be producing the next big blockbuster, or is there trouble in tinseltown? From the first frame to the final cut, it’s lights, camera, action!

So… we’re making a movie? Hmm… I wonder what it would be? Now, here’s the Bonus Quest information, which brings some distressing news for our poor Poptropican characters:

The back lot’s owners have returned– and they want you off their property! Can you outrun studio security and get away with a valuable souvenir? Find out how to get membership now!

Oh great. -_- . But why would our Poptropicans, usually selfless, want to steal bring along some sort of souvenir?

Now, here’s the desktop wallpaper:

So is that the famed filmmaker the main island description was talking about? Sheesh, he’s a stern-looking fellow.

And here’s the printable poster:

I see an award winner (who looks like Audrey Hepburn), old fashioned comedy, diva, some Elvis Presley looking guy, a director with a clapboard, some King Kong style thing, the director guy, a female pilot, a Wild West style thing (wait, is that Elmer?), a Gollum look-a-like (from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies), and The Hobo guy (A spoof on The Hobbit) on a Hollywood style background. Hmm…

And here’s the Member’s Only Gold Cards:

So what do you think of this upcoming Back Lot Island?

BT out!

If you’d go to the Creator’s Blog right now, you’d see a post that looks like this:

Picture yourself on Poptropica

When you travel somewhere, the best way to remember your trip is by taking photos. The same is true when you journey into Poptropica.

Ever since we launched the Photo Album feature last year as part of Poptropica Friends, we’ve been adding four new photos to every Island. At this point, there are 133 unique photos that you can collect, simply by playing through each Island!

But Poptropica photos are even better than the ones you take on vacation, because you can actually costumize off of what you were wearing in each one. The same is true when you look through your friends’ photo albums!

If you haven’t opened your photo album for awhile, take look — you might be surprised at what you find.

However… that wasn’t the post it was at first.

*cue DUN DUN DUNNN*

When this was first posted, it was talking about something else… here’s what it said:

Sneaky. Very Sneaky.

“What’s the next Island going to be?” That’s the question we hear over and over when we talk to our fans. Well, if you want a hint as to what we’re working on next, the best thing to do is visit Sneak Peeks in the Daily Pop!

In Sneak Peeks, we post concept art and other work in development for unannounced Islands. If you’d been checking Sneak Peeks through January and February and seen images like the one posted above, you probably would have surmised that we were working on a movie-themed Island… long before we announced Back Lot Island!

Sneak Peeks is updated five days a week. All you need to do to check it out is to visit Poptropica and click on the “Daily Pop” icon to see the latest.

We’re usually working on more than one Island at a time. Can you guess what we might be working on next?

If you peruse that post a little bit, you’ll see this set of words: Back Lot Island.  I tested to see if the Creators bought that domain name and sure enough….

http://www.backlotisland.com/

They did. So I guess we have our island name now! You think you could let that one disappear like you did with Cryptids Island, didn’t ya? Well, you were caught. 😛

BT out!

From behemoth to infant, this coffee shop delights

Slanted Fish

What keeps you going? Perhaps a gargantuan mug of fragrant cappuccino? Captain Crawfish posted this new sneak peek of a coffee shop, with windows showing a backdrop of palm trees (perhaps part of the movie/theater island). There’s even free wifi! Such a cozy place.

Coffee shop

If you’re still struggling to relax yourself, maybe this motivational poster will help.

Motivational poster

Because there’s nothing more inspiring than a soaring eagle with the caption “motivational poster”… well, at least it isn’t discouraging! 😛 But, y’know, if you’re still looking for something to make yourself feel better, there’s a booth on Night Watch Island that will feature your stunning (and not at all derpy) Poptropican’s face on a magazine of your choice – like the gaming mag Final Boss Weekly.

Final Boss Weekly

So, what makes you happy? It may sound cheesy, but in spite of everything, don’t forget to enjoy the gift of life and smile. 😀

And while we wait for the Creators to tell us what’s going on with the new sneak peeks, check out the PHB’s 8 million hits special – the Ongoing Story Creation, in which everyone is encouraged to continue the tale of Jumpy Jumper (JJ) and the mysterious Island X as it’s written in the comments section. Keep on keepin’ on!
