Catch some Crazy Costumes and Clubhouses 🤪🎩🏠

Gentle Dolphin

Howdy, Poptropicans! It’s almost time to goof off because Goofball Island, the second 2020 Dream Island winner, will be released in a mere two days! Get silly and get ready to save this colorful island from a monochrome fate! 🤪🔍

To celebrate, Adventure Outfitters stocked up on some new items ranging from stylish to silly. The costume gallery features a new fashionable fall look: the Frosty Flannel. All players can purchase this grey get-up for 250 credits.

In stark contrast to this subdued look, the rest of the store boasts a wide array of wacky articles fitting for the upcoming release of Goofball Island. Our returning items are the various fast food costumes, the autumn clubhouse décor, and the Pie Pal Follower. There are also three new items: the Rawr-in Hat (100 credits), the Eye See You googly eyes (100 credits), and the Hatters Gonna Hat cuckoo clock hat (250 credits).

Think some goofy gear is enough to build anticipation for Goofball island? Heh heh… WRONG!!! The Pop Creators also invited players to join the Goofy Clubhouse Challenge! Players are tasked with creating the wackiest clubhouse with the only limit being their imaginations and their in-game wallets. The homeowners of the three nuttiest abodes will win an unspecified amount of credits.

Once you’re done decorating, go to the submissions page and enter either a short video of your clubhouse or your account username so the Creators can take a gander themselves. Act fast because this challenge ends on Monday, November 22, at 8pm PST.

While you deck your dwellings with daffy decorations, don’t forget about November’s ongoing costume contest. You can enter your outfit designs until Friday, November 19th, at 8pm PST. Maybe you could design a bonkers costume based on Goofball Island? The possibilities are endless!

Now let’s check out some social media shenanigans! The Creators made a Youtube short all about dressing up our beloved pets, which is appropriately accompanied by “Who Let The Dogs Out” by Baha Men.

Over on Instagram, the Creators shared some more awesome fan content! There’s plenty of cool stuff from Poptropican doodles to Popsona drawings to poppin’ dank memes.

That’s all for now. Are you looking forward to Goofball Island’s release? Do you think it will be a laugh-out-loud joyride or a foolish folly? Will you get into the silly spirit and dress up yourself and your clubhouse? Let us know in the comments below.

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Fan Art Features, Goofball Island, Sneak Peeks

Look out for Goofy Goobers 🤪🔍

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, get ready for gaggle of goofing off with a sneak peek for Goofball Island, Halloween cosplays, and more. Let’s pop right in!

The upcoming Goofball Island, the second of three winners in last year’s Dream Island Contest, is “coming to Poptropica very soon and will be available to all players,” according to a new Creators’ Blog post. For a teaser, they even dropped this sneak peek full of contrasts:

As we know from earlier, the island is all about how an evil scientist turns a town full of fun and laughter into one purged of its color and cheerful character. We definitely get a glimpse of that in this new pic showing both a black-and-white side with a detective trying to figure things out, while on the other end it’s all bright colors, with an eccentric mayor-like character who appears to be officiating a competition about “Cats” (or perhaps he has just won 5th place, as his ribbon shows). Neither of them appear to be the evil Dr. Blandston, but what are your impressions on who these people might be?

Curious for more Goofball Island greatness? Check out the PHB’s exclusive interview with its designer, Thirsty Flame, for an inside look at this whimsical world! Plus, check out previous sneak peeks of the island here.

Wacky wonders aren’t just on islands yet to be discovered, but happening all the time on social media! The Pop Creators recently featured a few on their Instagram story, including both doodles and Halloween cosplays of iconic villains Dr. Hare and Binary Bard from a duo of grown-up friends. Cute! 🐰🃏

While the recently released first episode of Mission Atlantis is currently only available to members, all are able to watch the Haxe adventure in this new playthrough video from Poptropica. Sea for yourself!

That wraps up this update. Stay tuned for more news on Goofball Island as they come, plot your entries for this month’s costume contest and Community Creations, and pop on, Poptropicans!

Mission Atlantis Island, New Islands

Mission for members at Atlantis 🌊🐙

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, new Pop drop: Mission Atlantis Island is now out for members on Haxe! Just the first episode, though.

Head on over to the map to play Episode 1: Into the Deep (or click “restart” if you’ve played it before). It’s just like the classic island first released in 2014: your mission to document rare sea creatures turns into something much bigger with a grand discovery under the sea! 🌊🏙

We could have had it all, rolling in the deep…

Still no word yet on when this Atlantic adventure on Haxe will be available to all, but remember, you can also play all three episodes over on the Poptropica app, which, by the way, is free.

If you don’t have the deep end quite figured out, hang onto our Mission Atlantis Island Guide and kick it with us at the shallow end of the pool!

Water you waiting for? (A membership, perhaps? Fair enough…)

While only members get to play on Haxe to the max, non-members and members alike can still enjoy tons of aquatic attire over at Adventure Outfitters. Just keep swimming — perhaps your time will come!

Atlantis in Seas-on at Adventure Outfitters 🌊

Slanted Fish

Happy November, Poptropicans! Dive in for the latest store update, member gifts, and island hype. We’re going under the sea!

Adventure Outfitters is ready for the upcoming return of Mission Atlantis, with the store importing plenty of fresh ‘fits from the deep sea. All players can enjoy the Scuba Adventure (250 credits), Puffer Fish (200), and over on the statuette by Amelia, the Cuttlefish Head Rider (100). On the two sides of the shop floor, we also have the Fish Out of Water and Dolphin followers (100 each). 🤿🐠🐡

Plus, take your clubhouse under the sea with new Jellyfish, Grey Shark, and Clownfish decorations (100 each). And for the sweater weather, try on the Snug Vibes and Pumpkin Smash costumes (250 each)! 🍂🧣

It’s great to see so many items for non-members! Still, the more privileged among us need not be as salty as seawater. A new set of monthly member gifts are here, with a Paper Prowler animal mask, Purr Paper Pal follower, and Pup Paper Pal follower! 🎁🐶

The hype for Mission Atlantis isn’t just coming from Amelia — it’s also on Poptropica’s social media. On Twitter and Instagram, they announced that this classic island would be coming to Haxe “any day now.” By the sound of it, that could mean sometime this week!

That’s all for now! Enjoy the Atlantis artifacts from Amelia’s store, and if you’re a member, look forward to the next mission coming up on Haxe.

Sea you in the next one!

Dune us dirty: Mission Atlantis to be members only ⌛️🏝

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! An old island is bubbling up, and in the meantime, tweets from sandy places are coming to surface. Let’s pop in for a look.

Earlier this month, Poptropica announced that they’ve been working on bringing Mission Atlantis Island back, and this week they dropped more details on the Creators’ Blog!

Sadly, they’re not just krilling us with the puns, but also with the news that this returning adventure will be for members only, unlike before. It’s still unclear whether we’ll be seeing the full island or just an episode, as other episodic islands on Haxe so far have only been released with Episode 1. Whatever the case, though, it’s coming soon — how soon? Again, the water’s murky on this one.

Here’s an open secret, though: everyone can currently play all three episodes of Mission Atlantis on the Poptropica mobile app! And for a primer on what awaits you above and below the seas, you can fish out our handy Mission Atlantis Island Guide.

It’s looking much more dry over on Poptropica Twitter, though. The Creators recently pulled out a pic of the desert from Arabian Nights Island and compared it with Dune, the recent sci-fi film.

  • Poptropica’s “Dune”
  • Dune (scene from 2021 movie)

They’ve also been retweeting posts from Poptropica fans, such as this cluster of chalkboard doodles including one celebrity bunny…

…as well as a college student unashamedly playing Poptropica, because why not work hard and play hard?

That wraps up this little update! When do you think Mission Atlantis will make its big splash? Do you prefer Dune or Arabian Nights? Thanks for popping by, and see you in the next one!
