When danger lurks, and criminals hide around every corner, you need the best detective money can buy. That detective is not Timmy Failure — but don’t try to tell him that. You’re about to come face to face with the craziest cast of characters ever to appear on a Poptropica Island. Trying to solve this mystery is only the beginning!
Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here with this week’s Timmy Failure promo prize. Simply go onto Timmy Failure Island, walk to the left and talk with Timmy and he’ll give you a Total Costume! (Total is the name of Timmy’s polar bear sidekick in the series 😉 ) Check it out:
Glad Poptropica is releasing a costume themed for the island instead of the credits! Pretty cool costume, as well. Plus, like how they’re slowly coloring in the island (it was pretty black-and-white last week!).
And of course, be sure to tune in next Thursday for the next Timmy Failure Island prize!

Now for some really interesting news. If you go onto Poptropica Friends and look in your Medallion list, you will see this below:
Props to Slanted Fish for noticing this first. 😉 I’m very curious as to what this mysterious island is. Slip suggested to me that it could be something like the Tutorial Island on the Poptropica App, which could be the case considering the name. The medallion is oddly placed between Survival Island (Episode 1) and Mythology Island in the list and I’m not completely sure why.
Being as curious as I am I tweeted out to the Creators. Haven’t had any reply yet, but I’ll be sure to update the post if they do.
Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview & Theory series! This time, we’ll be covering Timmy Failure Island, written by the PHB team and organized by myself, SD. Be sure to check out our previous BTS posts, our most recent being for Arabian Nights Episode 3.

Final Theory
Before diving into our theory on how the quest will play out, we first need to know our characters… Timmy Failure is a young child that believes that he is a world class detective. He has a pet “business partner” polar bear named Total that somehow followed the scent of Timmy’s cat food back to his apartment. His parents are divorced, and he lives with his mom, who dates a “Bowling Turkey”. His best friend, who he claims to be an idiot, is named Rollo Tookus and is actually an over achieving student. Molly Moskins is a girl in Timmy’s class who has a crush on him and smells of tangerines. She also owns a cat named Senior Burrito. Finally, Corrina Corrina is Timmy’s arch nemesis (at least in his opinion).
Looking at the dialog, Senior Burrito (the cat) has stolen Timmy’s pants and is hiding in a vending machine. To get them out, you’ll need some loose change to activate the machine. The Bowling Turkey challenges you to a match of bowling, and when you win, he’ll give you the keys to his car. From there, we couldn’t really follow much more of the plot using the dialogue, but it looks to be quite a lengthy island.
Remember, Timmy Failure Island is going to be out for members on September 17th, so until then, share your theories in the comments below! 😀
Hey Poptropicans! Timmy Failure Island is now open – well, just Main Street and not yet in glorious technicolor – but if you talk to Timmy on the very left, he’ll tell you that if you enter the promo code TIMMY, you can get 50 credits! (That’s in addition to all the credits we’ve been getting from the Daily Pop-In, which, by the way, has totaled to 500 credits!)
New prizes will be available from Timmy every Thursday up to the Early Access release of the island on September 17th for members. Anyway, let’s check out what we can see so far of Timmy Failure Island! You can click on the screenshots to enlarge them.
Most of the buildings are closed, with the exception of the Timmy Failure Store, which is displayed in full color. There’s a building that appears to be a bank, offices for rent, Maury’s Museum of World Records, and bowling lanes. Plus, you can watch two videos (you can also view them in Slip’s post below).
Hyper Gamer managed to reach this part of the office scaffolding and pick up a Screw Driver item. However, it disappears from the inventory when you leave the game.
Also, if you check your medallions in the Friends section, you’ll notice the Timmy Failure Island Medallion has been added at the far right!
Plus, check out Slippery Raptor’s post, which also gives out a special promo code for a Timmy Failure prize, the Señor Burrito Follower (it’s a pet cat!). 🙂 Stay popping, Poptropicans!
The Daily-Pop In may give its last prize to all tomorrow, but wait, more sur-prizes are coming to Poptropica! (See what I did there?)
Poptropica has just announced via Twitter and the Timmy Failure Island tour page that every Thursday starting August 6th, if you visit Main Street of Timmy Failure Island (until it releases to members on September 17), you can pick up a new prize each week!
The Creators didn’t tell us any more about the new prizes, but I guess we’ll have to wait for it! I believe it’ll be like the giveaway the Creators did for Virus Hunter Island in 2013.
UPDATE: Thanks to some special hax, HPuterpop managed to get the first prize before it was released! It’s a Señor Burrito Follower, and it’ll be free for everyone, coming later today. Yes, your own pet cat!
UPDATE UPDATE: This was not this week’s intended prize – but you CAN redeem this follower with the promo code BURRITO! (UPDATE AGAIN: It’s been removed from the inventory.)
Speaking of Timmy Failure Island, Early Access for members to play the newest island begins on Thursday, September 17! They’ll have a head start on the case!
The Creators also released the trailer for Timmy Failure Island, plus a special video message from Stephan Pastis (the author of the Timmy Failure series!):

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here to bring you some new info from the upcoming Timmy Failure Island. The Creators just officially announced the island on their blog last week and now have released the its island tour page.
Along with the above logo and character design (which were revealed when the island was announced), we also have a little more of a look into the plot in this description:
When danger lurks, and criminals hide around every corner, you need the best detective money can buy. That detective is not Timmy Failure — but don’t try to tell him that. You’re about to come face to face with the craziest cast of characters ever to appear on a Poptropica Island. Trying to solve this mystery is only the beginning!
Next up is a look at the island scenery through these sneak peeks:
Lastly, there’s a printable poster design as well, featuring Timmy and his buddy Total:
In other news, there’s a new Poptropica Realms video from the Creators to show off some of the newer features! Check it out below:
That concludes this round of news! Are you excited for Timmy Failure Island? I personally haven’t read any of the books, but some of the other authors have been mentioning to me that they’re hilarious, so hopefully it’ll be comedically great. Comment your thoughts below!
