Membership – Page 23 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Hey guys! SD here with some flashy news!

giveaway

Today and today only, Poptropica has teamed up with Abrams, the publishing house of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, to bring a cool giveaway to us.

As you may know, the Wimpy Kid inspired islands are April’s Islands of the Month and that of course is because April is Wimpy Kid Month! Right now, these islands are open to everyone, not just members as they usually are the rest of the year – so take advantage of that while you can! 😉

But more on this giveaway, right? By entering on WimpyKid.com today (April 12), you might just be able to win a Poptropica-Wimpy Kid prize pack! In this pack, you’ll get:

A 6-month membership to Poptropica.
Copies of Cabin Fever and Dog Days, the books that inspired the Wimpy Kid Poptropica games.
The first three books of the NYT bestselling Poptropica graphic novel series: Mystery of the Map, The Lost Expedition, and The Secret Society.
A Dr. Hare plush toy.

To enter, go to the Wimpy Kid Giveaway page and click on the 12, which is today’s date. Just fill in the information, and you’ve entered! But if you’re under the age of 18, remember to get a parent or guardian’s permission first. 😛

If you’re a huge Wimpy Kid fan, the site is having other giveaways this month too, but this one is currently the only Poptropica-related one, so you better act fast, Poptropicans! Good luck to everyone! 😀

In other news, the PHB is sad to announce the departure of one of our staff writers, Perfect Sky. PS leaves us with a brief word, posted below:

The main reason I made this decision is because I just don’t have enough time to keep up with blogging and everything that’s going on in the community. With other priorities in real life, I don’t think I’ll have time for everything here, nor will I have the time to start my own blog.

I haven’t necessarily lost interest in Poptropica itself – while there are definitely recent updates with the game that I’ve been disappointed by, I’m sure I’ll still log on to Pop occasionally and replay classic islands in the future. After all, it’s hard to immediately totally forget about a game you’ve had over 9 years of memories with.

For now, you can still find me on Discord and Twitter, and I’ll continue to read and support blogs in the Poptropica community.

In addition to her blogging endeavors, PS is also known among the community for her super creative Poptropica movies, which you can find on her YouTube channel, PoptropicaPerfectSky. You will be missed around here, Perfect Sky! ✨

Fun in the sun – in November!

November 14, 2016November 15, 2016 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and welcome to a quick little post of mine!

So it’s November. For those of you who live in the Northern Hemisphere, the air is crisp and the leaves are at their peak of their sunset coloring. The air’s getting colder, certain fashions and lattes are back in season, and it is a calm before the winter that’s slowly emerging.

So what is it a perfect time for? Going out to the park and enjoying the scenery? No, according to Poptropica, it’s the perfect time… for the beach!

Well, there are places in the world where it is fine time for the beach, whether it would be because it is mid-to-late spring for those in the Southern Hemisphere or if you live near the equator. In honor of these summer wishes, the Creators have released a new set of Store items!

As you can see, there are several new outfits (each worth 250 credits):

Tropic Beachware* 1 (boys) (*um, shouldn’t it be “beachwear“?)
Tropic Outfit 1 (girls)
Tropic Outfit 2 (girls)
Scuba Gear (boys & girls)

Plus, two new pets: a white terrier dog and a tabby cat; both worth a whopping 1000 credits, so if you want to get it, you’ll have to earn it! (Or become a member, I suppose.)

Thanks to Happy Lobster for the pic below:

There’s an additional item that is now available, but it’s for members only: the Spray Tan! card. This card will orange-ify any soul who’s standing next to you instantly! Perfect for those who miss their summer tans.

Not only are the stores getting summer-y, the Home Island also has their characters in the summer spirit with leis and grass skirts!

So, what do you think of this summer spirit in November? If you haven’t already, check it out on Poptropica now!

Contests, Creators, Membership, Mythology Island, Photo Booth, Social Media

Myths from the photo booth contest crypt

October 25, 2016June 6, 2021 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato and I have a double feature post for you guys today! Stay tuned for information about one of our Islands of the Month and a new Halloween-themed contest hosted by the Poptropica Creators!

To start this post off, here’s a reminder that Mythology Island is the other of two Islands of the Month (besides Monster Carnival). People who play this very popular island for the first time will win 500 credits (one more island win will reward 300 credits!).

Not only that, the Creators promise to release old concept art on the Creator’s Blog some point this month. If you’re having trouble with the island, check out the video walkthrough by Captain Crawfish or the written guide from the PHB!

In addition, the Cyclops and Icarus members-only item cards have returned to the store for a limited time only! Everyone’s favorite community liaison, Skinny Moon, has already modified her Halloween costume to add features from both these costumes. Looking spooky!

Speaking of Halloween treats, there’s a gravestone on Home Island beside the Arcade that leads you to the Haunted House mini-quest when clicked on!

Plus, the Creators have their own brand of Halloween contest-ry going on with their second annual Halloween Photo Booth challenge!

The Creators have challenged you – yes, you – to compose a spooky Halloween-themed Photo Booth and share it on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #PoptropicaFun! You can also post entries on the Creator’s Facebook page.

Their favorite Photo Booth entries will then be re-posted on said accounts, and along the way, more one-month memberships will be given out! So don’t tarry, and make a Photo Booth picture today to share with the Creators!

If Photo Booths are not your thing, but you still want a chance to win a one month membership (along with being featured on the PHB costume page), then check out the PHB’s Halloween-Autumnal Costume Contest (sponsored by Poptropica)!

This is the last week you can submit your entries before the winners are announced on Halloween, so enter while you can!

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the month, and stay tuned for anything else that’s new!

Fall Fashionables, Member Merits, and PHC Emojis!

September 30, 2016 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, you’re looking good! Ready to look even better?

The Poptropica Store has just been stocked with some all-new autumn attire! If you find yourself falling for these Fall Fashion fittings, cleverly named from 1 to 4, head over to the Store to pick up your new wardrobe pieces. They’re free for members, or 275 credits apiece for non-members.

You might feel like trying on that pink ombre hair or those geometric headphones. Something in here might even inspire a costume for Halloween – and that’s coming up! These looks will also soon be on the app.

If you’re needing more credits, the easiest way to accumulate some is by spinning the prize wheel on Home Island every day! In fact, the prize wheel guy even has something new to say, in celebration of Poptropica’s 9th birthday this month. (Thanks to Friendly Foot for the tip!)

Another way to earn credits (anywhere from 100 to 500) is by finishing islands – even for replaying islands!

On the Creators’ Blog, Skinny Moon couldn’t help but throw in a promotion for membership – but a couple of lines did hint at something worth bringing up (bolded for emphasis below):

Of course, membership has its benefits. Everything in the store is included with membership. And sometimes our especially cool items are for members only… hmmmm, I wonder if that may happen in October… 😉

Well, looks like members are soon to get something for their money after months of nothing new, member-benefit-wise. (Now, before you let out a cry of outrage about how not everyone wants to or is able to pay for membership, remember that Poptropica does need the business it gets from membership as part of what keeps the company running. For all that Poptropica offers for free, it’s not outrageously unfair for them to offer a little extra to their patrons!)

Anyway, with apologies to Dr. Seuss, want to know what’s cooler than a cat in a hat?

Over on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC), we’ve recently added almost fifty new custom Poptropica emojis that you can use in your conversations! Here is just a taste of some of that awesomeness:

A full list of our new emojis can be found in the PHC’s #tutorial channel.

In case you’re not familiar with the PHC on Discord, it’s a great place to meet, hang out with, and start parties with other Poptropicans, including PHB staff and other faces in this fun community! Check it out!

Have a great weekend, Poptropicans! 😁

Crisis Caverns, Deep Dive, & Membership Makeover

June 12, 2016June 13, 2016 Spotted Dragon

Heyo everyone! SD here with another update. So let’s get to it!

First up, credit to idk for an entire album of Crisis Cavern themed Daily Pop sneak peeks! Too many to list in fact, but they’re there, so I suggest you check them out! 😛

crisis caverns sneak peek

Second up, credit also goes to idk for finding two cool test scenes for Deep Dive Island, now known as Mission Atlantis of course. In both, you can explore and interact with a few things, but it was just a test so there isn’t much else to it.

deep dive test

While on the topic of Deep Dive Island, or Mission Atlantis, an unused diving suit was also found! As you can see below, it was all black instead of the yellow one that ended up being used. Pretty neat, huh?

Lastly, credit goes to WimpyKidFan for noticing that the Membership page for Poptropica has a new design! While it does look new, improved, and sleek, is this really what we want the Creators’ to be focusing on? Don’t get me wrong, it looks pretty cool! But it does seem like a small step towards “New Poptropica.” And don’t get me started on new islands.

membership redo

Anyway, that’s it for now guys! If you’re already on summer break, I hope you’re having a blast! Or at least relaxing. If you’re almost there, I believe in you! Hang in there! If you don’t have a summer break… then, uh… *shrug*
