Everyone is dressed up for the biggest sci-fi and fantasy convention in Poptropica. At PoptropiCon, the most important thing isn’t what you do — it’s how you look doing it!

PoptropiCon Ep. 3 to return next month 🤖

Slanted Fish

Wicked Cool News alert: PoptropiCon Island, Episode 3: Reign of Omegon returns to the map next month, completing the saga! ⚡️

The news comes as Ep. 2: Spoiler Alert was re-released to all players two months ago, giving everyone a chance to explore the epic Poptropica convention and uncover the twist behind the Omegon costume contest.

Download extras including this screensaver from our PoptropiCon Island Guide!

There’s no mention yet about who will be granted access, but if the recent past is an indicator, the episode will probably release for members only first — and hopefully for all eventually.

However, all episodes of PoptropiCon are currently playable in Poptropica’s paid Steam bundle, which also comes with many other newer classic islands. Read our Steam review here!

Onto another villain, Poptropica on Twitter recently put out a Pop poll about Dr. Hare’s species. As lore would have it, perhaps it’s both: Dr. Hare was a scientist who fused into his current form of evil genius rabbit when an experiment on a bunny rabbit went wrong. 🐰

Either way, he’s a longtime beloved icon in the fandom! Check out this fun marker drawing Pop recently retweeted from fan artist @loudcrab:

Stay tuned with us for the re-release of PoptropiCon’s conclusion for Haxe Poptropica, and keep on poppin’ on! 💫

PoptropiCon Island

All come through for PoptropiCon 2! 🃏🎈

Slanted Fish

Poptropica’s finally played their cards right, and as promised, another episode is now available for all! 🖖

Head to the map to access the reopened PoptropiCon, Ep. 2: Spoiler Alert. If you need pointers in moseying round the convention hall and dunking on gamers, we gotchu with our PoptropiCon Island Guide.

Showdown: One ladder, many shoots.

For a head start on the third and final episode, you can also find the full PoptropiCon Island and more through purchasing the official Poptropica on Steam. Or you can also access it for free with AS3 Flashpoint, but this latter unofficial version may be buggier.

Anyway, it’s great that non-members can now continue this classic after months of waiting. May the Mighty Action Force be with you!

PoptropiCon 2 this week, and Steam speak

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, we’re gathering steam on some Pop drops! 💨

The doors to PoptropiCon, Episode 2: Spoiler Alert will be opening to all this Wed, June 15. 🚨 Get ready for cosplays, card games, and chaos!

Risen: You say you want a revolution?

It’s been over four months since this installment re-released on Haxe for members, and restless players have been petitioning for the paywall to come down ever since. It’s great to see the episode open back up for everyone, and hopefully this indicates more re-openings for other locked segments of episodic islands as well. Time will tell!

By the way, enjoy the PoptropiCon poster above? We’ve been working hard to include images of old island extras in our Island Guides, particularly as links have broken from Pop’s website in recent years. Check out our various guides for desktop wallpapers and more! 🖼

In other news, guest writer Invisible Ring has returned to the Pop Creators’ Blog with commentary on the recent Steam release. She observes how the discontent around the game’s pricing reminds her of her fan movie Battle Morale and how the growth of Pop’s mobile app over the years could indicate more classics might also appear on Steam.

Alongside her usual optimism, however, she also calls out the Creators for not having brought back Monkey Wrench yet (a promise they made over a year ago) and seeming potentially “desperate” for not making the Steam bundle free — though she ties that into her hopes for more islands on the Steam game, which she has not purchased.

If you’re wondering whether the bundle is worth it, check out our review of Poptropica on Steam! And with that, see you in the next one. ✌️

PoptropiCon-tinued with Challenges 🦹

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, here’s the latest. We’ve got reminders, revisits, and ridiculously creative works to see. Let’s pop right in!

The news on Home Island is that the Baron has already left, and for the first time in a while, a new week hasn’t brought changes to Adventure Outfitters, which is still stocking lots of layered winter looks and Valentine’s Day items. Also, this Friday marks the end of the PoptropiCon Challenges — enter for your chance at free credits!

Speaking of PoptropiCon fever, there’s more. The Creators’ Blog recently pulled up PoptropiCon Bingo cards for Episodes 1 and 2, featuring lots of colorful characters for you to look for as you wander around the convention. (Pro tip: Download the PDF from our PoptropiCon Island Guide, which also includes the bingo game for Episode 3!)

Poptropica’s been picking up the activity on Twitter, too. A recent tweet hyped up the return of Flash islands, but it was quickly followed by a note that it was just about conversion — in other words, nothing new.

Another tweet even suggested that buying memberships can contribute to Poptropica’s progress in bringing old islands back. That may be true, but we can’t help but wonder if it could go any faster!

Last but not least, enjoy the latest fan art features — cute and creepy — from Poptropica’s Instagram stories:
