Cryptids Island

Don’t Messie with Nessie

Green Boa

Because Nessie is considered dangerous and won’t like being photographed by cryptid paparrazies.

So now I bet you’re all thinking, “Man, that gives me the grump. It’s such a flump. Now Loch Ness is no better than a garbage dump. “

Well if you are thinking that, I have breaking news…

YOU’RE WRONG!!!!

Loch Ness is famous only because of Nessie. But did you know those aren’t the only world famous (Well, poptropica famous) things in Loch Ness? Yep, Oprah’s there! No, wait, she’s in Australia, (that’s where I am). OK, take 2!

And… action!

Have you spotted Nessie yet in the Cryptids Island sneak preview? Remember, you can look through the viewfinder every day for your chance to see Nessie and win a prize. 

Even if you don’t see the Loch Ness Monster, there are plenty of other sights to see from the shore. Why, look who I saw cruising above the waters of Loch Ness!

You never know what you’ll find out there. Keep watching the skies! And the waters, of course.

Oh, man. I’m really starting to regret giving him that balloon.
And that’s not the only thing drifting around in Loch Ness! I took a look in a book the viewfinder AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!
THAT IS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE! WE DESTROYED THAT! IT DOESN’T EXIST! Well, at least now we know why the castle is such a mess.

News you can Mews

Sorry I’ve been posting so much lately. I figured you guys were getting bored of me so I was going to let someone else do it for a change, but I figured up-to-date news is more important. So, here goes.

First of all, there’s a new Creator’s blog post about the Cryptids Island preview.

Cryptids Island in the wild

Well, well, well — look what’s sneaked its way onto the Poptropica map.

You can visit Cryptids Island now for a special sneak preview! You’ll be dropped on the shores of Loch Ness. Check out the viewfinder next to the castle to see the amazing sights. If you’re lucky, you might even spot Nessie!

Anyone who does see the Loch Ness Monster through the viewfinder will win a special prize (and Poptropica Members get even more time to look). You can try once per day, so if you don’t see her today, try again tomorrow!

This post has been brought to you by our good friends at the Mews Foundation.

Well, that says just about all doesn’t it. Keep looking through the viewfinder every day to hopefully get a picture of Nessy. (When someone on the PHB gets the prize we’ll tell you what it is.)

Credit to -jEllo- for cheat: If you look through the viewfinder, then save your game and log back in you can use it again. Repeat the process to look through it for as long as you want. Be sure to send us some pictures if you find him, we’ll give you credit!

Also, if you click on that link it takes you to Poptropica’s new sponsor, The Mews Foundation. (mewsfoundation.org)

Which is very funny because that is not a real organization. They actually made a whole site just for a business from Poptropica! (What a work effort!)

Visit our sponsor!

We are very pleased to inform you that the official Poptropica blog is being sponsored by our benevolent overlords at the Mews Foundation. Their interest in the more… unusual frontiers of science is one that all of the Poptropica Creators can get behind. The truth is out there, and the Mews Foundation is going to find it.

Cryptids Island

We be sharp aye’d maties.

Cool Wing

Haha, ignore the title. I’ve been addicted to Pirates lately, but I never finished Skullduggery. xD

It’s official: The next Poptropica Island is…

…Cryptids Island!

Some sharp-eyed Poptropicans reported seeing the Cryptids logo in the wild a little while back. The rumors were true. You can learn more at the Cryptids Island info page.

So what’s a cryptid? Well… there’s a lot still to discover!

Well give a look there. I see a new island coming!

If you are to lazy to go and click that link for the page, here’s a little screenie I got.

:O

Reminds me of Counterfeit Island and a bit of Reality TV, along with some Nabooti. Think it’s worth the wait?

And BTW. If some of you were wondering why I couldn’t post lately, it’s because everyone takes the posts before I even get home from school! Luckily today was a snow day, and it is very icy outside. So I caught this one!

Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Hanging on a cliff

Slanted Fish

Atop a cliff in a snowy, unheard of corner of Poptropica sits a creature more reclusive than Hazmat Hermit himself. When the hermit hears of this, he immediately goes to investigate. But partly up that cliff, still hanging onto some rope, Hazmat Hermit wishes he hadn’t come.

https://poptropi.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/cliff.jpg?w=300

Why? Must be some creature if even a tough hermit in his hazmat suit is afraid of it. We don’t even get a look at whatever it is, but the surroundings hint that it could be a yeti, a very reclusive cryptid. Now that’s a dramatic cliffhanger.

Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

….You put your right arm in and shack it all about.

Green Boa

Green Boa: You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn around, that’s what it’s all about!

(Everyone applauds)

Green Boa: Why thankyou. I won’t bother with my left arm, because we have a guest! And it’s, Da da-da da! Captain Crawfish V! (That’s 5 if you didn’t know.)

Captain Crawfish: OK, OK. Look, I’m CC 5. Why am I number 5? What happened to a number 1?

Green Boa: He was nommed by random nommers.

Captain Crawfish: And two?

Green Boa: Nommed by Hijuyo backstage, but I’ve got his right ear, if that’s any good to you?

(Random people from audience rush in and grab the ear and run off)

Captain Crawfish: That is just sick. And number 3?

Green Boa: I nommed him for making a science mistake on AN EDUCATION ONLINE GAME!

Captain Crawfish: But what happened to number 4?

Green Boa: Binary Bard and I nommed him at Mcdonalds. >:) Just hurry up with the post and you’ll walk away unharmed.

Captain Crawfish: Well…

Shacking up (update: post title changed to “What’s got your goat?”)

The goats are everywhere. They’re even hanging out of this shack.

They’ve got no respect for other people’s property. Or maybe they’re hiding.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Green Boa: Who are you to say they’ve got no respect for other people’s property?! You attack places and steal their property!
Captain Crawfish: I can find flaws in other people, but not in myself. (:
Green Boa: Anyway, since we’ve got a creator to tell us, is this a screen shot of Cryptids Island?
Captain Crawfish: OMG whaaaaaaaat? How do you know my secretly secret secrets?!
Green Boa: Because you put a picture on the poptropica homepace, DUH. But just tell us, is it a screenshot of the mysterious Cryptids Island?
Captain Crawfish: My lips are sealed! I shall never talk! Never! Not one word will come from me! I shall never reveal the truth, not even if you said please. Or pretty please. Or pretty please with sugar on top. And you can’t hurt ME! You promised I could walk away unharmed, didn’t you? Huh? I shall not be killed by cannibals! You promised I would be unharmed!
Green Boa: Well, I should tell you something.
Captain Crawfish: What?
Green Boa: When I said you could walk away unharmed………… I had my fingers crossed!
(Loud gasp from audience)
Captain Crawfish: Aaaaaargh! *runs*
Green Boa: Garrr! *leaps into air with open jaw*
(Off stage screaming, nomming and burping)
*Eeerie Silence….*
