Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory island confirmed!

‘Ello fellows, ready for some jolly good Poptropica news?

Just in time for September 13’s Roald Dahl Day, the Creators announced that they are working on an island based on everyone’s favorite childhood tale,ย Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – as predicted by our good mate Brave Tomato in previous postsย hereย and there. Now that’s sure to have you gobsmacked.

In case you’re too daft to know, Roald Dahl was the chap who wrote classic stories such asย James and the Giant Peach,ย Matilda,ย The BFG, and of course, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.ย Absolutely nuts! ๐Ÿ˜€

(And yes, Roald Dahl was British. Ace.)

Lunar Colony Island, Super Villain Island

Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Hey guys! As you probably know by now, Lunar Colony Island has been released for everyone. If you need help, check out the PHB’s written walkthrough, video playlist, map, discussion page, or chatroom.

The Poptropica Tour pages for all islands have been redecorated for the upcoming Super Villain Island, with dark edges and the main villains (Bard, Crawfish, Widow, and Hare) circled with blue lightning.

While you’re there, you may as well visit the tour page for Super Villain and pick up the island extras: the desktop wallpaper and printable poster. Looks like Super Villain’s going to be super epic! ๐Ÿ˜€

Bonus Items, Lunar Colony Island, Super Villain Island

Marvelling at the Blue Marble, zigging like Zaggy Moondust, and chillin’ like a villain

Because matchy titles are so fun to say. ๐Ÿ˜€

If you’ve played the new Lunar Colony Island, you may have seen this view of planet Earth Poptropica from the moon. Turns out, the Creators had planned for it to look like a real photograph called “Earthrise,” from the Apollo 8 mission. Pretty cool! For more space pics from the Creators (“Blue Marble” and “Pale Blue Dot”) click here.

Lunar Colony will be available to everyone starting on Thursday, September 6th. Be warned, though: there’s only one week left to get the limited edition “Zaggy Moondust” costume from the Poptropica Store! Become a member to get exclusive LC Island items, including Moon Rock and Alien Archaeology powers, for free.

The tour page for Super Villain Island was released, which you can read about in Brave Tomato’s post here. The discussion page for SV Island is also up on the PHB here, so check that out as well!

EDIT: Some PHB readers have noticed that Super Villain will be Poptropica’s 30th island, just in time for Poptropica’s 5th birthday! Awesomesauce. ๐Ÿ˜€

The Faces of Evil in the Hearts of Darkness… Perfect…

Really. Really. Perfect. -_-

The official description for Super Villain Island has been released, and here’s what it says:

Deep inside a top-secret prison, four of Poptropica’s most infamous villains float in suspended animation. Your mission: to infiltrate their minds and extract the sources of their evil. Can you withstand a journey to the heart of darkness, or will their twisted dreams trap you forever?

Yikies. Sounds really, really dark… and as if you think the 4 twisted minds aren’t enough, if you’re a member, you have ONE MORE to worry about. Doesn’t exactly say who, either.

The world may be safe, but another villain stirs in his slumber. Do you dare to enter the dream machine once more, andย visit a nightmarish version of one of the most popular Poptropica Islands?

Iย originally hadย a feeling the nightmare-ish island will be Shark Tooth (see Daily Pop: Breaking News), but Serious Shadow has reverted the pictureย for the bonus quest to normal and look at this:

Edited picture by Serious Shadow

That looks like Mythology Island’s Mount Olympus! *thinks* Now that I think about it, Mythology Island IS a very popular island…

The possible location where the screenshot was taken

And here are the members only items:

So let me get something straight…

We… are going… via dream machine… into the villains’ minds?!? And I have two questions:

  1. How did Dr. Hare get out of space?
  2. How did the Binary Bard get back to Poptropica without the orb?

I’m kinda confused, but all I know it’s aboutย delving into theย twisted minds of the four (five for members) villains and getting rid of their source of their insanity/evil. Like I said earlier, it sounds dark… but we can do it!!

BT out!

Astro-Knights Island, Counterfeit Island, Skullduggery Island, Super Villain Island

Caught in a hare-ball

As you probably know, four of Poptropica’s big-name villains will be returning for the upcoming epic “Super Villain Island,” which the PHB has a discussion page for here. 24 Carrot Island was the first time we saw Dr. Hare, and if you haven’t played that yet, check out our walkthrough here!
