Contests, Merchandise, Virus Hunter Island

Australia, New Zealand, and the whole world of champions

Slanted Fish

For a long time, Poptropicans have always rushed to be among the first to complete a new island right when it came out, hoping to be listed as one of the top ten finishers on the Creators’ Blog. But 10 just doesn’t do everyone justice – which is why, starting with the coming-very-soon Virus Hunter Island, this tradition will be replaced with something bigger – a live player map!

Not only will you see the top 1000 finishers with this World Champions map, you’ll also be able to find where you rank among the many others before and after you and check out all the places in the world where the island has been played! It seems like it’s only available for Early Access players, though, meaning you’ll need to have membership before the island officially opens to everyone.

In other news, Poptropica Game Cards, previously only available in North America, are now purchasable in Australia and New Zealand exclusively at EB Games. For $10, you can get a month of membership with the card, but it’s worth noting that the same amount of membership time is only $3.95 if bought with a credit card. Still, if you’ve got a card, you can redeem it here.

Lastly, just a reminder that the big Create Your Dream Island Contest has begun (you’ll need a copy of the entry form)! If you want to have a higher chance of winning, check out this Creators’ Blog post which explains tips like a setting never done before, interesting time period, twist on a familiar tale, and no licensed properties. Good luck!

Launch Rabbot (paper craft)

Slanted Fish

In the quest for 10k supporters on LEGO CUUSOO (currently close to 8,500!), Poptropica has released another paper craft to match the previous Dr. Hare construction. Just print out the new and totally rad Rabbot PDF, then cut, fold, and paste as needed, and you’ll have your very own robot rabbit!

Remember, Jeff Kinney (& co) is counting on you. And until we reach ten thousand, he’s the only one who gets to have a “Dr. Hare’s Lair” set, so be sure to vote!

In other news, today’s the day of the PHB’s 5 Years & 9m Hits Party on our Poptropica Help Chat (the PHC)! Click here for the specific time and other details, and we hope to see you there! :]

Whodat say day create dem own island?

AW

You might be wondering, “Why did Angry Wing name his post in such a strange way?” Well, the answer to that is, well, um, next question. You remember the Poptropica books, right? In particular, there’s the Island Creator Kit – which may come in handy for the Create Your Dream Poptropica Island Contest!

Here’s the real story. Starting August 1, anyone  can “create” an island and send it to the Creators for evaluation. One lucky winner, just one, will have their island created and put on the map. (Literally, on the Poptropica Map.) Buying the Island Creator Kit might help you get started with some ideas. After seeing a few comments, I am clarifying: there is no purchase necessary.

How exciting! I will be partaking in the contest, but if anyone needs a little inspiration or help as well, so to speak, here’s my card. (I don’t really have a card.)

You can find the entry form here.

Black Widow finishes off with “Keep an eye out for more information about the rules and how to enter. And for the inside scoop on how to design a winning Island, check out the Island Creator Kit, coming on August 1!”

Any questions, class? 🙂–

On another note, my blog Just Cuz Its Friday needs your help deciding on a new logo. The candidates and the voting can be found here. Please help us out by voting!

Thank you, and goodbye!

Black Flags flag, clothing characters, Beta bugs fixed

Slanted Fish

This new Daily Pop sneak peek might be another hint that Poptropolis Games Island is returning! Check out that glorious Black Flags tribe flag. (Of course, not as cool as the Flying Squid tribe!)

Plant your flag – …which is kind of hard to do when there’s no solid ground around.

Also, when you’re buying Poptropica clothing from the Shop, you can now select from some of these popular Poptropica characters (funny how they’re all villains). Sadly, they don’t come with their cool poses (or carrots in Dr. Hare’s case).

If that’s not enough, check out our Friend Finder page for more awesome usernames! You could even get a shirt of a Poptropican Jesus Christ, complete with costume and custom name, by entering the user thejesus1. Just putting that idea out there.

The Creators have been busy making fixes to 24 Carrot BETA Carrotene Island, thanks to all the members who beta-tested and gave feedback. There are more details in their post, and don’t worry, they even said they’d be “implementing the classic movement cursor”! So that probably means no cumbersome common room cursor – sounds like everyone got what they wanted.

Lastly, the PHB has a new slogan on the header! It says “pop inside the PHB – we’re your Poptropica key.” Simple, still includes the obligatory “pop” pun, and tells who we are. Hope you like it.

Crafty Dr. Hare becomes paper craft

Slanted Fish

Are you the type of person who always roots for the villain no matter what? Do you never tire of seeing Dr. Hare’s face? Or do you just love to make things? Well, while we’re still waiting to reach the 10,000 mark on Poptropica’s LEGO CUUSOO project (we’re up to 7,700 now!), you may as well build your very own paper Dr. Hare with this pink-infested template.

Aww, isn’t he cute? (Or creepy, depending on how you look at things.) By the way, you’re probably going to need some scissors and glue for this little DIY project. Look, there’s even a banner on the Poptropica homepage for the crafty villain in paper form!

NEW PHB PAGE ALERT! If you’re in the mood for something else, good news! The PHB now has its own page for any and all Off-Topica (meaning off-topic from Poptropica), which you can find under the Chat tab in the navigation bar above. As long as you follow the guidelines mentioned on the page, you get to talk about anything non-Poptropica! Even ex-Pop players can join in here!

Oh, look at this Daily Pop sneak peek! Did someone say Fishy?

Fishy – Don’t see much joy to these fishies in the deep blue sea.

Fishy

Wha-? Did you just-? I am offended, Daily-Pop-Pencil-Wielding Shark Boy. Offended.

Also, a final word from MT (you may remember him as a former PHB author and the creator of PWH)…

His new show, Happy Endingz – a brand new webseries about three friends London, Raeen and Trev getting into trouble in the streets of LA – is expected to premiere Thursday, July 11th.
