To celebrate the re-release of PoptropiCon, Ep. 2, Poptropica is hosting PoptropiCon Challenges with two options! The first Pop prompt is to 🕷 Show Off Your Dream Cosplay Outfit (see the Spider-Man example from the Creators), and the second is to 🃏 Make Your Own Mighty Action Force Card. See the official blog for details!

While the new episode is currently for members only, everyone is invited to join the PoptropiCon Challenges, which comes with the chance to earn “huge credit rewards”! (How much, they didn’t say.) Send in your creations to Pop’s submissions page by Wednesday, February 9th at 8pm PST and be sure to include your player name.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! Have fun!
The Creators’ Blog also recently put out a massive post of over 10 video highlights from across the fandom from YouTube and TikTok, including speedruns, Skylanders, and sketches. See all the clips from these talented video virtuosos on the official blog! 🎥✨

Speaking of video talent, Invisible Ring recently released her full-length feature film Battle Morale, an original story of an optimistic Poptropican seeking hope and truth in a dark and pessimistic world. Watch it on YouTube with bonus clips, or below:
The production took at least three months since releasing the trailer, and the movie clocks in at an impressive hour and 43 minutes. In addition to Ring’s guest post on the Creators’ Blog about the film, look forward to her interview with the PHB coming up! 👀
Closing out this collection of fandom features is an Instagram story from the Pop Creators, showcasing fan art of a perky Popsona patting an adorably grumpy Bard. Aww, good doggo! 🐶
Pop drop alert: PoptropiCon Island, Ep. 2 is back on the map!
Members can play the latest episode, “Spoiler Alert,” on both desktop and mobile (though be warned of islands you’ll lose if you update your app). In fact, it came a day early, as the Creators “just couldn’t wait”!
Whether it’s your first time heading inside the convention or you’ve been around the block, be sure to take our handy PoptropiCon Island Guide with you so you can bring on your best Mighty Action Force game.
In other news, January 25 was Opposite Day in the US, an occasion to celebrate doing things differently. The Creators’ Blog shared a familiar Poptropica example: the contrast between Dullsville and Goofside on Goofball Island. As for us on the PHB, we’ll throw in another one: our beloved Dr. Beev as a foil to Dr. Hare. Can you think of others?
As Chilly Shadow mentioned in the Creators’ Blog post comments, it sure would’ve been fun to celebrate the spirit of Opposite Day by granting memberships to non-members!
But, while non-members may be missing out on the new PoptropiCon episode, you don’t have to miss out on your chance at one by joining the PHB’s monthly membership giveaways. All it takes is a few comments!
Anyway, that’s a wrap for now. Poptropicarry on, Poptropicans!
Heyo! Poptropican’t wait for PoptropiCon? It won’t be much longer.
Release day revealed: This Thursday, Jan 27, members* will get to enter the convention center and continue the story on both desktop and mobile* in PoptropiCon Island, Episode 2: Spoiler Alert!
*No word yet on whether or when it might be released to non-members, and for those who wish to play on the app — read this before you update.
Adventure Outfitters has been hinting at the re-release all month, but the PoptropiCon items are here only for a limited time, so snap them up while you can! Also new this week is the Sparkling Snow outfit with its cozy cream coat, available to all for 200 credits.
For more Poptropica OGs, there’s always fan art. Here are the latest features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories:
Hey there, Poptropicans! The Pop Creators gave us new items to buy, new videos to watch, and new teasers to ponder. Let’s take a look at what they shared today, starting with a preview of a loading screen advertising the upcoming Goofball Island side quest!
This screenshot confirms the quest’s title to be “Blitz on the Fritz” and gives us a better idea of the storyline. It seems that Blitz, a red robot bee, is wreaking havoc across Poptropica and causing various islands to either go goofy or become bland. Players might need to do some island-hopping to complete this quest, much like they did during Rumpel’s riddle hunt in Fairytale Island’s side quest.
Is Blitz acting alone or is it working with its bee buddies? Is Katie Dare the mastermind of this island-transforming spree? Members can tune in to stop this byte-sized pest and return Poptropica to normalcy! 🤖🐝
Before a bionic swarm hits Poptropica, let’s see what new items are in store this week. Do Mondays get you in a shopping mood? This drawing by Friendly Feather sums up our mood whenever Pop updates its in-game shops. No Amelias are available for purchase yet. 🛍️✏️
Adventure Outfitters continues Pop’s winter fashion trend with the Frosty Babe outfit, which boasts super cute red plaid flannel vest and earmuffs. Everyone can purchase this flannel-tastic outfit for 250 credits. ❤️🖤
The clubhouse store added five new winter decorations and two returning classics. All players can buy the Pinecone Garland (100 credits), Hanging Snowflake (75 credits), Scented Candle (75 credits), and Tea Set (200 credits). Members can also buy the all-new Honeycomb Shelf (150 credits) as well as the returning Pop Star Poster (75 credits) and Stained Glass Window (250 credits).
Two new videos have been uploaded to Poptropica’s Youtube channel. The first video is a nostalgic lookback at Nabooti Island‘s mancala minigame. What are your thoughts on this classic game of stones and strategy?
The second video is admittedly more interesting. This video confirms that PoptropiCon: Episode 2 will be returning soon! While this video is basically a reupload of the original PoptropiCon trailer from 2014, the news of another PoptropiCon episode returning to the game is exciting. 🦸
Last but not least, the Pop Creators recently featured a costume contest submission in their latest Instagram story. IG user clovermulo aka Curious Heart designed a stylish Thrifty Girl costume complete with preppy plaid threads, caramel highlights, and sparkly heart earrings. If you want to enter this month’s costume contest, submit your designs before January 17th at 8pm PST.
That’s all for now! Are you looking forward to the release of Goofball’s side quest? How about the return of PoptropiCon: Episode 2? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned for our post covering Goofball Island: Blitz on the Fritz!
