Virus Hunter Island – Page 5 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Hey guys, BT here. The latest page of Pandemic Panic had been released!

Um… an important rule in life: if you leave something important unguarded, then it is likely the wrong person’s gonna take it.

So it seems that one of the poor tourists on that bus will mistake the jar containing the CC13 virus for something else and end up with that deadly virus himself. It is likely that that unlucky tourist with the bad souvenir would be Joe Stockman/Patient Zero. If only the doctors had taken the infected jar with them…

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic (2 of 6) & Dream Island contest

August 3, 2013August 3, 2013 Slanted Fish

It’s August, and that means a couple of things for Poptropica – new Poptropica books are out, and the Create Your Dream Island Contest has begun! The map has been updated too (thanks ayman351!):

vh on map

First, Virus Hunter Island! The second page of the Pandemic Panic comic is here, continuing from the first part, and here our PDC heroes are stopped by a lovely Canadian Mountie and capture an innocent-looking Labrador Duck with a deadly CC13 virus. What the heck are you all doing, eh?

You’re going to need to be fit if you want to survive Virus Hunter Island, because the Expectation-Free Zone gym there wants to get you pumped up (and they say they’re expectation-free…):

As for the second new icon (the island contest), clicking on it will bring you to a page for the Island Creator Kit, containing a video message from Jeff Kinney:

Well, that’s all for now! Go get your creative juices flowing so you’ll have a stellar entry for that Create Your Dream Island Contest before it ends in December! (And if you win, you know it might just be the most exciting thing that happens in your childhood!)

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 1 of 6) & info redesign!

July 30, 2013July 30, 2013 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Remember the Zomberry: Day Zero comics released throughout last December? It seems that that same artist is back, this time doing a backstory for the upcoming Virus Hunter Island! Like the Zomberry comic, there will be 6 pages. The first page was released yesterday:

(click on the image for a larger view)

So it seems from the look of things, Dr. Lange and her two colleagues are searching for this “dangerous creature”, casually ignoring ferocious animals. The “dangerous creature” is most likely the virus we’d have to fight throughout the island. From the looks of things, and the NanoBot Training, Dr. Lange seems to be a pretty eccentric character (as well as a rare female leading doctor, the last one being Lunar Colony’s Dr. Salerno).

Speaking of Virus Hunter Island, its official island information page has been given a major makeover! Still no news of the release date, and the other islands have yet to be privileged with the same upgrade.

So what do you guys think?

Nano-Combat Training now available!

July 13, 2013June 28, 2014 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Now, when I went on Poptropica at about 1:50ish EST, I discovered this new card in the Poptropica Store:

Now, before you go into the store to see for yourself, let me tell you: it isn’t there anymore. Before this card was pulled off the Poptropica Store shelf, there was an ad for it on the home page (I didn’t take a screenshot of it), and I was curious enough to check it out.

~~However, when I tried to access this minigame, all it did was bring me into BETA Carrotene. This is really odd.~~

UPDATE 1 : Fuzzy-B mentions that this “Training Sim” Daily Pop could be a sneak peek for this nanobot-battling simulation game, brought to you by the Poptropica Disease Center (PDC):

UPDATE 2: This quest is now available for real for members. It actually involves the sound and larger screen. And just to warn you in advance- it is like Thunder Volt. Here’s a video from the Creators:

UPDATE 3: The PHB now has a guide for this mini-game, which you can check out here! 😀

BT out!

Virus Hunter member bonuses incoming!

July 3, 2013July 17, 2013 Slanted Fish

You know Virus Hunter is really coming soon when you see the members-only free bonuses start to come into the Store. The first of these is the Virtual Virus Costume, available only during the Early Access period. Because you’ve always wanted to look just like a virus… right?

The costume comes in two parts. When you Costumize the lower half with the body and legs, your own Poptropican’s legs will be replaced by this set of limbs which will have you skittering about like a spider.

[UPDATE 1 – July 9] The Inside-Out Power is here to give you deep insight on the insides (literally) of your Poptropican’s very being (or the very beings of others).

[UPDATE 2 – July 16] The last one is the Sneezing Powder – use it by pressing the space bar and you can give someone a sneezing fit! Aaa… aaahhh-choo!

By the way, remember the PHB’s Ongoing Story Creation? It’s still going (because it’s ongoing), so if you’d like to contribute to or even just read a Poptropica fan-fic created by fellow Poptropicans, you’re welcome to join in!
