Poptropolis Games Island, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

What time is it? Summer time!

Slanted Fish

And on Poptropica, that means Wimpy Boardwalk island is in the works! Here’s a clip from the Creators showing a bit of their creative process.

Also, next Thursday, June 14, marks the grand opening of the Poptropolis Games for everyone! This means that there’s only one week left before the members-only bonus “Wrestling Gear” costume is no longer available! Its limited time ends after the early access period.

In other news, PHB author MT recently resigned from the blog for personal reasons. If you would like to say goodbye, click here to go to his farewell post.

We’ll miss you here, Tacoz.

Poptropolis Games Island, Wallpapers, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

A Friendly Reminder and a Wimpy Wallpaper

Brave Tomato

Stumped on the pole vault?

*character runs towards the pole vault*

Random Person: I can do this!

*in the launch area, the RP held on to the mouse too long and just flipped over the pole*

Random Person: Okay, maybe I can’t do this.

Epically failing at the weight-lifting?

*a random person plays the game, but has one of those touch-screen laptop mouses*

Random Person 2: X, X, X, X… curse this mouse!

Well, before we break those monitors, the Creators give us this friendly reminder about the fact that we don’t have to place first in every single event. As long as you’re good at the others. 😐

Going for the gold

The good thing about the Poptropolis Games is that you don’t need to place first in every event in order to win the gold medallion. The winner of the Games is the one with the best overall performance, which means you can have a few clunkers and still come out on top.

It’s a good thing, too! Some of these events are tough. I laid an egg on the pole vault the last time I played.

Some of you may have already won the gold medallion, but has anybody out there placed first in every single event? That’s a feat we’d love to see!

Remember, Poptropolis Games is open to Members now. It will be available for everyone to play on June 14.

Thanks to you, CC, you’ve saved so many monitors. I mean- the first time I did the island, I got second place, and it was kinda annoying. Moving right along, in celebration of Wimpy Wonderland Boardwalk, the Creators released the desktop wallpaper and the printable poster for the new summer Wimpy Kid island!

Wimpy Boardwalk extras now available!

We’re making a splash to start the summer. Now, when you visit the Wimpy Boardwalk info page, you can download a new desktop wallpaper and printable poster!

Wimpy Boardwalk is coming soon to Poptropica. Keep reading our blog for the latest news!

In case you’re wondering, this is what the poster looks like:
Greg looks so different with color. But different’s good. Unless you’re being pelted by rocks instead of the usual tomatoes. In that case, stick with what you know.
BT out!
Bonus Items, Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

Last Legendary Tribes!

Slanted Fish

Last but not least, the Creators have revealed two more of the tribes – in addition to the 5 shown this past week – to compete in the Poptropolis Games, making a total of eight victory-inspired tribes!

Please welcome:

Wildfire

Winning a competition as tough as the Poptropolis Games takes more than talent. It takes a burning desire to win. Do you have the fiery passion to join the Wildfire?

It certainly does seem to be “the hottest of them all,” because a quick poll on the PCB sidebar reveals that 45% of all voters have expressed interest in this tribe the most! The Seraphim tribe comes second at only 17%, and all the others have less than 10% of the total votes each.

Are you lost in not knowing which one to pick? Try…

Pathfinders 

 There’s only one route to the gold medal, and this tribe thinks they know which way to go. Maybe you’ll help them get there!

Also, more big news– the Legendary Swords mini quest is now completely FREE! Previously, it was free+, meaning that everyone could play up until a certain point, where you would need membership to continue.

Now nonmembers who have been dying to get in some more kills can rejoice! Get this adventure pack in the Poptropica Store, and if you need further tips after that step, the PHB has a guide written by our very own Brave Tomato! Click here to read it.

So, which of the eight tribes do you like most? Let us know in the comments! I personally like the Flying Squid tribe. 🙂

These Tribes have got vibe.

The poptropica creators have released some of the tribal symbols that will be on Poptropilis island. Take a look!

The tribes of Poptropica

 
Choosing your tribe in Poptropolis Games is no small decision. You’ll fly your tribe’s colors both in the game, and on your personality profile. Here’s your first look at a few of the tribal logos.

Pretty nice, eh? That’s only half of them. There are still four more to be revealed!

Over the next several week we’ll be bringing you even more information about Poptropolis Games, including all of the tribal names and icons!

Those are pretty awesome looking. I wonder if you restart the island that you can change your tribe.
 
GTG dinner calling!

Poptropolis Games Island

Friends, statues, fires and babies.

Where would you find all this in a blog post? Well, in the PHB, of course! 😉

In the real world, the olympic flame was recently lit in Greece. Looks like something similar is about to happen in the Poptropilis Games.

Is this burning an eternal flame?

 

Well, probably not. It’s hard for a flame to burn at the bottom of the ocean. But when the city of Poptropolis re-surfaces every 100 years, the ceremonial torch burns for as long as the competitive fires do!

Hey, I just realized something. How do the citizens of Poptropilis BREATH underwater? I mean, even I can hold my breath underwater for 2-3 minutes, but 100 years, might be a bit of a stretch.
 
Time for the next PCB post.

What, I’m not cool enough?

Well, I’ve had enough. Us creators can see who have friended us, even though you can’t see everyone who has friended you. But listen, I’ve been looking at the other creators’ pages. Binary Bard has 2,534 friends, Black Widow has 3,083 friends, and even that total NERD Ned Noodlehead has 1,874 friends. But me?

I have 19. NINETEEN!

What? You don’t like me? The eye-patch intimidating you? Still angry that I tried to rob and loot and steal from all those islands? That wasn’t personal or anything, you know!

Well, I quit. Bye!

It wasn’t nice not being your friend. :’-(

Oh well. CC gone. The one we used to love nomming so much.

 

*tries to hold back laughter*

Haha! I’m KIDDING! CC isn’t leaving. I faked that post.

This one is the real one… or is it?

These friends of mine

 
I’ve been having a blast making new friends on Poptropica. I wanted to introduce you to a cool person I’m following

Tiny Crush has an awesome outfit, has never cheated on a test, and has completed 25 Poptropica Islands! (Not Vampire’s Curse, though — what’s up with that?)

It’s great to know Tiny Crush, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else he gets up to in Poptropica. Maybe you can meet Tiny Crush, or even the Poptropica Creators, by visiting the common rooms on Poptropica. No matter who is there, we guarantee you’ll be making some new friends!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Uh, yes. It is the real one. Some more info we can see about Tiny Crush is his favourite ice cream flavour is Cookies ‘n’ Cream (same as CC!), he does some sort of karate, he hasn’t been bitten by a dog, something about hair, his fav kind of ball is a soccer ball and something similar to Director D. Hmmm.
 
Anyway, I’d better hurry up and finish up this post. One more 100% genuine post from the PCB.

New in the Poptropica Store

 
We have a few new things to share this week in the Poptropica Store. First, Poptropica Members can now get their exclusive Poptropolis Games gear!

These Member-only items include a snazzy Wrestling Singlet costume, a handheld Discus that you can throw around the screen, and the incredible Plant-a-Statue power, which lets you bring a little bit of the Poptropolis Games to any Island in Poptropica.

But that’s not all! There’s also a new costume in the store, available to everyone with Membership or credits.

Now, if somebody calls you a big baby, you can tell them they’re right, and throw a fit to prove it.

Enjoy!

Uhhhhh, what? Who agrees that these baby costumes are the worst ones in the store? All they do is cry and shake their rattles. Seriously people, don’t waste your credits on these costumes. However the members only items look pretty cool.
 
Cya people! *turns into Iron Man and flies away*
 
(BTW, I can’t wait to see the new Avengers movie!)
