Da bomb! Da bomb! Who knows what dangers this could hold?

New island sneak peek week: It’s the bomb

Yesterday to keep the sneak peeks rolling out the door, we showed concept sketches of dynamite for the new island.

Here is the finished version. This is something that you are not allowed to hold while chasing your brothers around the campfire.

Look at all those gauges and wires. I had to read a 500 page manual to learn how to use it properly. Though, I accidentally discovered that throwing it works too.

Now that you’ve seen a glimpse of the design style of some of these items, can you guess what kind of island this is going to be?

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the announcement of the new island name!

And the end still looks like a rat’s tail… wait… could this stick of dynamite be, in fact, a rat? A live cheese-eating mouse…? :O JK. xD

New island sneak peek week: It’s dynamite!

You dyna-might want to take a look at this next item. Ok, I know that was a terrible joke.

Take a gander at these sketches of dynamite. This explosive gadget is a little more complicated than the stick of clay you are used to seeing.

Come back tomorrow to see the final image of this dynamite with some color. And don’t forget that on Friday, we’re revealing the name of the new island for the first time.

Like I said, we’re all gonna blow up! 😀

The stick o’ dynamite looks pretty techy… The creators must be getting ready for the 4th as well…. The string that you burn looks like a rat tail to me. xD

It’s late. So today, you get a short post! 😉

Ja.

What is Multi Tool?*

Multi Tool is big.
Multi Tool is beautiful.
Multi Tool goes anywhere and lasts all day.
There’s no right way and no wrong way.
It’s crazy powerful.
It’s magic.
You already know how to use it.
It has multiple soup can-opening features, and counting.
All the world’s soup cans in your hands.
Gears. Claws. More functions than you’ll need in a lifetime.
It’s already a revolution.
And it’s only just begun.

*Also see iPad.

This week the Poptropica Creators are introducing a new island filled with cool gadgets (possibly called Steamworks Island?). Today’s update brings color to the Multi Tool we saw yesterday.

New island sneak peek week: The Multi Tool

Yesterday, we introduced a handy tool that you will need for the next Poptropica island, called the “Multi Tool.” I can imagine that you may be thinking, “Multi Tool?…Hmmm…It must be used for multiple tasks.”

It’s true that this device will do more than open a can of soup.

This is not the only tool you will need to make your way through the next Poptropica adventure. Tomorrow we will show you another inventory item that you are certain to have a blast using.

What do you think? What will Multi Tool do? What is this mysterious object’s secret? Is it a chainsaw that kills? o_0
