Survival Island – Page 4 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Hey everyone! Quick post to let you guys know that Survival (Episode 5: Escape!) is now out for members! If you need help, click here for the PHB’s Survival Island Guide, which includes all five episodes and plenty of pictures. Or, check out our full video walkthrough series. 😀

When you’ve escaped from the dastardly Myron Van Buren, be sure to check out your ranking on the World Champions Map to see how you stacked up with other Poptropican competitors across the globe! Tell us what you thought of the final installment of Survival in the comments and on the PHC!

By the way, there’s nothing new for non-members today, despite hopes for PoptropiCon Ep. 1 (currently out for members only). Sorry, guys — maybe next time! 😛 But if you are a member and need help on the island, do check out the PHB’s PoptropiCon Island Guide! 😀

Thurs, Sept 11: Survival Ep. 5 for members & P-Con Ep. 1 for all (?)

September 10, 2014September 10, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! I have some big news: the Creators just announced that Survival, Ep. 5: Escape! will be available this Thursday, September 11 for members!

There’s been no official word yet whether PoptropiCon, Ep. 1: Line Forms Here comes out to non-members the same day, but if Poptropica is sticking with recent episodic release trends, it seems quite likely. If you’re looking for some extra help on this little quest, be sure to check out our PoptropiCon Island Guide, complete with lots of pictures!

In other news, I just wanted to let you guys know that since school & sports have started for me (sadly), I may be less active, but I’ll try to find time to write the Survival 5 guide with HP. Anyway, look forward to a post from me this Thursday!

Survival Island

Will you ever escape? (Survival Ep. 5 details!)

August 24, 2014August 24, 2014 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Survival Island is coming to a close, and the last episode’s title and description have been revealed on the official tour page – episode 5 is titled “Escape!” (or escahpay for Finding Nemo fans 😛 ), and the description reads below –

The hunt is on! In the darkness before dawn, can you turn the tables on your pursuer and escape the woods once and for all?

What can we look forward to as we escape from the legendary game hunter Myron Van Buren? We know someone – presumably Max McGullicutty – will be waiting to help us get out of the woods, and from the looks of these Daily Pop sneak peeks from the past month or so, it looks like we may be revisited by some familiar animal friends or (foes?), like the bear from the cave in episode 1 and the two beavers from episode 2! Plus, it seems our rescuer M.M. has a secret hideout…

Eager: A gnawing sense of deja vu.

Clampdown: Just grin and bear it.

In the Loop: Time is a flat circle.

Cub Scout: So exciting, we can hardly bear it.

Rigged: This bear gets animated when she’s hungry.

Holy Moly: This is no tunnel of love.

Coordinated: Of course, don’t lose the plot.

Lumbering: You aren’t out of the woods yet.

Into the Woods: More than a big bad wolf lurks here.

Any theories on how we’ll be able to outsmart MVB? Will we end up by his bedside to gloat about our victory, like the hero of the story The Most Dangerous Game, which the past episode of Survival appears to be inspired by? Share your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for the latest news on the Poptropica Help Blog! 🙂

TAFN.

Atlantis Captain, Survival’s Max McGullicutty, & Land

August 11, 2014August 11, 2014 Slanted Fish

Ahoy, Poptropicans! Members who have played the final chapter of Mission Atlantis may have picked up the Atlantis Captain costume towards the end — but everyone can get it from the Store for free! When you press space bar, the helmet will either reveal or hide your face.

In addition to recently being released to everyone online, Survival 4 (Cabin Fever) is also now on the Poptropica iOS app! Click here for the PHB’s Survival walkthrough. Tally ho!

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Tips & Tricks app, they’ve added guides for Survival 2 through 4, and it’s 99 cents for each episode. If it’s a walkthrough you need, though, I’d advise saving your money and using the PHB’s free Survival Island Guide instead! Sure, we’re not official, but we’re still here to help. 😛

Speaking of Survival, there’s just one more episode left, and from what we know, you’re on the run from MVB, but you have a friend waiting for you in the woods. He’s the mysterious character who left you notes on the tapestry in Episode 4 (allowing your escape), and signed it “M.M.” So who is M.M.?

Remember the Manifest from the plane in Episode 3? There was a name for the coin-collecting passenger: Max McGullicutty… M.M.! And this Daily Pop sneak peek might just be giving us a look at him, disheveled from life in the woods, and more importantly, with an “M” on his belt buckle:

If you remember from one of HP’s Survival Files on the PHB, there’s some dialogue with what appears to be a superstitious fisherman… and as we haven’t encountered this character yet, perhaps it’s Max.

—

Also, we haven’t forgotten about Poptropica Land, now in alpha version 2 and still only available to members (get the Labs card from the Store). It’s a big step up from the first prototype of Poptropica Labs, and new features include: the magical blue hammer of creation and destruction (Svadilfari), “Poptanium” mining instead of coins, the ability to save, and more!

Stay tuned to the PHB for a more in-depth look as well as a community event coming soon, involving this updated feature! In the meantime, don’t forget to be awesome. 🙂
