Mystery Not Solved…Yet!

Shaggy Tornado

Well, today is September 9, and guess what today is?

MY BIRTHDAY! Not really. It’s the release of Mystery Train for members! It was released at 4:21 PST, as you know from previous posts, in honor of it’s 4th birthday and 21st island.

 

Us non members get a special treat! Once again, we get a small demo of what the island is like until non members get to play it on October 7th! 😀 On the homepage, a silhouette of the train rushes past in the background, in honor of this release! Awesomeness!

Just so you know, once Edison’s invention gets stolen, the demo will end.

The guide for Mystery Train is up now! Special thanks to Super Thunder, Brave Tomato, Hijuyo, and Elmo Pwns!

Visit the Mystery Train island page on the PHB for all the info you need! 😀

Another update was made to the Poptropica store adding in two more LE costumes for members for their 4th birthday!

The Robin Hood and Light Ninja will only be available until the end of this month, so get ’em while they’re hot! Also, get all the other updates they made, such as the balloon and the minigames!

Well, have fun on Mystery Train, and congrats to the people who finished it already!

( 9/11 10th Anniv. is coming up. </3 Honor the people who lost their lives in this tragedy 10 years ago…)

Mystery Train Island

Mystery Train’s first mystery.

HI GUYS!

I know I haven’t posted in like A YEAR but I’ve had computer problems and stuff. Plus I don’t have school holidays for 4 weeks and I am a bit backlogged. But anyway, I’m not here to make excuses. I am here to report a new post on the PCB.

Counting down the seconds to Mystery Train

If you’ve been following the Mystery Train countdown clock on the Poptropica homepage, you’ve probably noticed that it’s set to go at a rather unusual time: 21 minutes past the hour. In fact, here at Poptropica headquarters, Mystery Train will be launching at 4:21 PM on Friday. Can you guess why?

Go ahead, try to guess. Take a second away from the computer.

Okay, ready?

The time is in honor of two things. 4, because it’s our 4th birthday, and 21, because this is our 21st Island.

Now that you’ve solved that mystery, you’re ready to take a ride on the Mystery Train! Poptropica Members will be able to play all of Mystery Train this Friday. Non-Members will be able to play the first part of the adventure in advance of Mystery Train’s public launch in October.

21 islands? Geez! I wasn’t counting… THAT IS A HEAP OF ISLANDS!

So don’t forget, members of Poptropica:

4:21

Time to get down on Friday for Mystery Train Island!

Now I shall leave you with a nice piece of poetry…

Do not fall,
Off a wall,
Or you might die,
Cus you fell from the sky. 😉

Poptropica Store Surprises! + Heat Maps and Coutdowns!

EDITS HAVE BEEN MADE! SCROLL DOWN! 😀

I had some free time this week, so I thought I would post about the new things that the Creators added in the Poptropica store!  Many things have been added 😀 I’m sure most of you know about the birthday balloon:

Anyone who visits the store can get the Fourth Birthday Balloon for free! Isn’t free awesome? 🙂 Also in celebration of Poptropica’s 4th birthday this September, they added in the last two minigames to hit Poptropica: Shrink Shot (Shrink Ray) and Prepare for Impact (Red Dragon)!

You can add these games to your inventory for free and play whenever you want! 😀 You can get all the previous prizes available! They also included a special treat for all you Members out there (lucky :P): They re-released the Mech Pilot costume (Steamworks) and the Renegade robot for a limited time!

If you missed them before, or if you have just become a member some time ago, you now get another chance to get these Members-only gold cards! 🙂 If you aren’t a member, the Creators are encouraging you to sign up! Well, stay tuned for more Birthday fun coming to Poptropica!

Happy fourth birthday Poptropica! 😀

~~~

The Creators also have other updates: a video concerning heat map technology and another countdown timer!

The Creators said that this is a feature they were working on for one of the new islands. Could it be for the E.vile Legen-wait-for-it-dary island? Looks like we have to wait to find out! 🙂

They also put in a  countdown timer for Mystery Train, letting you know the exact moment when your train leaves the station (Get it? 😀 )! It releases in less than a week! Excited, members? 😛 So what’s your departure time?

Hey guys! 😀 Another weekend to rest up! And another weekend to post about the new item that membership gets you! This is a special costume promoting Mystery Train Island! It’s called the Mystery Train Inspector! Now you can dress up to look like Sherlock Holmes, or something close to it. Credit to HT and SG  for pictures! 😀

"The game is afoot!"
What the costume looks like on a Poptropican.
Its special action!!

The special action of this costume is cool! When you press spacebar, you lift the magnifying glass to your eye! 😀 Looks awesome! Congrats to all you lucky members out there! Remember Mystery Train releases Sept. 9!!

There’s also a new ad in town: Family Game Night ad! It’s a quest building where you get to go in and compete in a game called Connect Four basketball! You have to shoot basketballs into the gameboard so you get four of the same color and win! If you win, you get the Yatzee Bowling card, which is an animation of bowling ball and pins when you use it! BUT THE FUN ISN’T OVER YET! If you go to the far right of the ad, there’s a door, where you have to solve a slide puzzle to gain entrance! When you get the code, enter it in and the door shall be opened! You get to go into the room and get two more prizes: The Hub Outfit and a Sorry Sliders costume!! Thanks to LS for the ad walkthrough!! 😀

And one last thing! PHB reader Aang has found another Poptropica Creator named Nasan Hardcastle! On his LinkedIn Profile (click here or check the comments:   http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nasan-hardcastle/4/ab/3b8 ), it says he is a “Designer and Illustrator for characters, environments, games and toys on Poptropica!” And his profile picture is that of the Wild West villain El Mustachio Grande! What more proof could we need? 😀 IT will be added onto the Creators’ Database when we have time.

Well that’s all for tonight!

Have a great day, stingray! And I’m howling out. AWOOOOOOOOOO!

Red Dragon Island

New books

Greetings, everyone! It’s EP here with the latest scoop from the PCB. This new post hasn’t been done in a day or two so I guess I’ll try and keep this blog updated. Here we go.

I bet you’re all familiar with the Magic Treehouse themed Red Dragon Island. Well on the main street there you’ll find a Magic Treehouse Store! Yep, one click on one of those virtual books inside the store will bring you to an information page. There’s information on the books on the page as well as a “Buy Now” button.

Well according to the new PCB post, they added two new books to the virtual store. The two are Dogs in The Dead of Night and Dog Heroes. Obviously these books have to do with dogs in Jack and Annie’s new adventures.

Dogs in The Dead of Night apparently has to do with Jack and Annie in the Swiss Alps where they meet monks. They apparently also train a wild young dog named “Barry” and Barry leads them to some mysterious flower that has to do with the story.

Dog Heroes has to do more with the actual facts in Jack and Annie’s stories and has more of an educational purpose. There’s a red mark on the book that says “Fact Tracker”. It mainly gives interesting facts like “Who were the most famous war dog heroes?” or “What breed makes good service dogs?”.

You can click the Buy Now button, and you’ll be redirected to the Amazon.com page to buy any of the books featured in then store.
