Daily Pop, Poptropolis Games Island

Get ready for Poptropolis Games 2013 – out next week!

That’s right, the Games are going to rise, and members will get to play in Early Access starting next week! (Date not known, but presumably around November 14th as Poptropica tends to release islands on Thursdays.) Everyone else’s turn will come, but in the meantime, let’s keep digging!

Now then, let’s check out what else the Creators have been working on by the looks of a few recent Daily Pops – looks like an outdoor adventure and an encounter with some lovestruck crazies awaits…

In the Clear – Don’t be so sure about that.

Screaming Trees – I nearly lost you there.

Loving You – It’s easy ’cause you’re… well, not beautiful.

By the way, be sure to check out the previous post to catch up on all the new ads around Poptropica right now! There are games to play and prizes to collect, so have fun. :]

Advertisements, Galactic Hot Dogs Island, Poptropolis Games Island

Pranksgiving, Wimpy Kid Hard Luck, Steven Universe, and Galactic Hot Dogs ads

Main Streets sure are full this week! An ad game for Pranksgiving (a Disney XD series) can be found on Night Watch Island. You’ll have to prank both kids (Bradley and Jake) by being fast enough to press the button corresponding to the spot they’re standing on, which will trigger a prank.

There’ll be two rounds, a practice one and then the real one. You can come back every week for a new prize, with the current prize being a Zombie Turkey costume (press spacebar to scare).

An ad for the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid book (#8), Hard Luck, can be found on Early Poptropica. Talk to Greg and you’ll be brought to a carnival, where you can play five games to get your fortune told.

On the Wheel of Misfortune, click to make it stop spinning. You’ll be given a random Job fortune – I got ‘nervous gardener’. In Psychic Darts, just click to aim. My result: ‘live in a bug-infested apartment’. At Balloons of Chance, just click on random balloons for your Pet fortune – mine was ‘gigantic hamster’. At the Peg Maze Daze, click on the ball at the top. My vehicle fortune was ‘sporty go-cart’. Finally, click on the Mystic Crystal Ball twice to be told your Love – I got ‘smart flower-arranger’. Afterwards, you’ll receive the 8-Ball Costume and Raining 8-Balls! power.

There’s also an ad game for Steven Universe (a new Cartoon Network series), which I found on Zomberry Island. You have 60 seconds to run all the way to the left where the donut store is and click on the door to get the cat cookies. After that, you’ll have five lives (indicated by the cookies on the lower left) to get back to the beginning without being chomped by the green creatures too many times.

When you win, you’ll be awarded the Steven Costume (with flashing star eyes!) and Crystal Gems Power (which flashes various characters from the show onscreen).

Also, Night Watch’s Main Street has a stand for Galactic Hot Dogs, the new FunBrain graphic novel which releases new episodes every Monday! Click to receive the Goober Sword and a costume of either Cosmoe (boys) or Princess Dagger (girls).

By the way, are you doing your part to help raise Poptropolis Games Island? The tribe with the most points will be glorified on Main Street when the island rises, and so far, Wildfire is in the lead!

According to the Creators, over one million players have already made their way to the sea floor to help dig up the Games. And with Poptropolis Games 2013, we’ll get to enjoy the bigger screen that comes with the new navigation we’ve seen on Virus Hunter and 24 Carrot – so let’s keep digging!

Diggin’ up a sale, this Halloween!

Hey guys, BT here. (I KNOW IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU READ MY TEXT. >:) )

Now, we know about Poptropolis’s return, right? Well, the Creators have created a little special event (over on Poptropolis Games Island on the Map) where we are challenged to navigate the ocean depths so many times and hit the bottom as many times as you can, without getting eaten by a shark that is.

And whichever Tribe collects the most dirt will have something special on the Main Street once the island resurfaces… I’ve yet to understand what that is, yet .-. .

poptropolis

Well well, this’ll be interesting… wonder which tribe is gonna win? Please, help me pull this off, my fellow Black Flags…

Even this guy knows that everything is on the blogs…

Anyways, in other news, there is a sale in the Poptropica Shop! If you want a shirt with a Poptropican on it, you can get a 30% off discount when you enter the code FALL30 as a promotional code, until November 5th!

Tired of digging underwater? Well, if you haven’t already, here’s a friendly reminder to enter your spooky Halloween costume in the PHB’s 5th annual Halloween Competition! Check it out!

Well, that is about it… dig on, peeps!

BT out!

Daily Pop, Poptropolis Games Island, Sneak Peeks

The Gravity of Octopus Volleyball

Poptropolis Games 2013 is on the rise, and with it, two exciting new events: Octopus Volleyball and Volcano Race! And what a big cephalopod we’ve got here…

Now what about Volcano Race? Perhaps the Daily Pop can give us a clue… or maybe these recent sneak peeks are part of something else entirely.

Sit On It – In our Game of Thrones, everybody wins.

Any Two Can Play – And the big wheel keep turnin’. Neon burnin’ up above.

Blades of Steel – We’d make a cutting remark but we’re feeling a little dull.

blades of steel

The Poptropica Creators also referenced the 2013 movie Gravity in one of their posts this week, suggesting that the idea may be similar to the plot of Lunar Colony Island. How cool would a Poptropica film be? Poptropica islands may well be movie-worthy material!

Poptropolis Games Island, Virus Hunter Island

Virus Hunter for all & the rise of Poptropolis Games 2013!

Virus Hunter Island is now available for everyone to play! The PHB’s Virus Hunter Island Guide (with pictures) should complement your adventure nicely, so do check it out! It even has a walkthrough for the members’ bonus quest (thanks Strange Cat,Weirdo), which was also just released.

Also on the rise is Poptropolis Games Island, which was released in 2012 and sank back into the ocean in January of this year. Looks like it’s about to make another big splash on the map, complete with the music and bigger screen we’ve seen on Virus Hunter:

Poptropolis Games 2013 also brings two new events that weren’t around last year: Volcano Race and Octopus Volleyball! There’s also a new desktop wallpaper and printable poster on the island tour page to get you in the spirit of the games – so much for rising “once every 100 years”! Seems like 1 year in our time is 100 in Poptropica. Crazy, isn’t it?

Stay tuned to the Poptropica Help Blog for more news on the next island!
