Pop Protip: Listen to Poptropica Music without logging in 🎵

Slanted Fish

Have you ever, while playing Poptropica, found yourself pausing to appreciate the music in the background? We’ve got a way to let you jam to your favorite tunes from the game without having to log in! 🎧

Over on our Poptropica Music page, we’ve gathered a huge collection of Poptropica soundtracks, sorted by islands, for you to enjoy. They’re embedded right on the page, so simply hit the play button under each title to listen! ▶️ Here are a few of my personal favorites:

🌀 Carnival Ride – Poptropica Theme (download)

🧞 Genie Dance — from Arabian Nights Island (download)

👾 Mega Fighting Bots – Battle – Orchestral Variation (download)

🏅 Poptropolis Games Main Theme (download)

😜 Washington DC Lengthened — from Goofball Island (download)

Listen to more poptropica music

Not only can you listen and even download tracks right on our Poptropica Music page, you can also save them to your personal devices!

⬇️ Download all the music files below and more, as a selection or all at once, via our folder of Poptropica OST (Original Soundtrack) mp3 files.

download poptropica music

If you save them to your computer, you can then import them into your music player app of choice. From there, you may also sync your imported files to your other devices, such as a phone or tablet, to listen to the tracks whenever and wherever you like. 📲

Bunk: Perhaps you, too, will love the 90s.

We hope this music collection helps you relive the magic of Poptropica! A huge shout-out goes to Jeff Heim, Poptropica’s main music composer who created so many of these melodies. Enjoy the tunes! 🩵🎵

🏆 Poppies 2024: Nominate Now!

Agent Bubbles

Another year, another summer… another Poppies! 🥳🌞🏆

The Poppies are our fan-hosted award event for Poptropica fans. During the weeks leading up to the PHB’s birthday on July 26, readers can nominate and vote for their favorites in various categories. We’ll conclude with a party and livestream announcing the results!

After going over your feedback for how to approach the 9th annual Poppies, the votes ended in favor of keeping the event as it was, with a mix of categories about the game itself and the fandom beyond. 🎈

We’re now kicking off with a nomination round, where you are invited to suggest the contestants for each category! This round starts now and ends next Sunday, July 14. Nine awards for 9 years of Poppies — let’s go!

Poptropica Awards

Wax Eloquent: The stars never fade away, they may only melt.

⚔ Best Boss Fight: From the massive robot in Legendary Swords, to Mordred’s epic mecha in Astro-Knights, Poptropica is full of its own unique and challenging battles! Which was the most memorable?

🐹 Cutest Character: We’re not asking for the coolest or most villainous — for this award, we want you to tell us which character is the most adorable! (This applies only to NPCs, not user avatars.)

😭 Most Tearjerking Moment: Between Poptropica’s many adventures, you may find some bittersweet moments. From the story of the deceased in Ghost Story, to Annabelle and Count Bram’s end in Vampire’s Curse, what moments gave you pause? (This applies to all canon material, including the graphic novels.)

🎵 Classic Island Most Deserving of an Original Soundtrack: Islands released before 2013 (known as AS2) had no music, except for a few that were later updated. Which of the silent classic islands would you wish to get their own soundtrack?

Community Awards

Supersonic: You will know our velocity.

🎨 Best Fan Art of the Year: And here come the artists! As always, there are still plenty of works to choose from within the past year, showcasing the fandom’s passion and talent. Browse across social media, the pop-art channel in our Discord server, and our DeviantArt group for potential candidates! (Anything published on/after July 2023 is eligible.)

📷 Best Fan Video of the Year: While the hype hasn’t been as big this year, some Poptropicans have continued to upload their video creations, ranging from in-game movies to discussions of the game’s history. Which clips were the most impressive? (Anything published on/after July 2023 is eligible.)

🖼 Best Animation/Animatic: A new arts category suggested by some PHB readers! This showcases a more specific type of fan video than the category above. (Works of any publication date are eligible.)

👗 Best Costume Submission: We’ve voted for the Best Costume Contest Winner before, but what about all those left in the slush pile? Which of the monthly costume contest entries do you wish had made it into the game but didn’t? Let’s give them another chance to shine! (Works of any publication date are eligible.)

🔎 Most Likely Popspiracy: Our Popspiracy series has hosted a range of wild conspiracy theories, ranging from the plausible to the downright preposterous! From all these interesting ideas, which do you think is the most likely to be true? (Works of any publication date are eligible.)

💃 POPPIES PARADE! 🕺

Thanks for attending our blue carpet event once again, and be sure to check in later this month for more updates, polls, and party details!

Who Broke the PHB’s Coffeepot? ☕️👊

Gentle Dolphin

Something’s brewing over at PHB headquarters, and it’s definitely not coffee. Someone (presumably one of the authors) broke the breakroom’s coffeepot! Who could have committed such an atrocity?! Watch and find out:

…Fishy, how could you?! 😭😭😭

In all seriousness, I hope you guys like my silly little animatic. I had a lot of fun making it!

The audio comes from a famous scene in the show Parks and Recreation. This particular clip has inspired many parodies, and it was just a matter of time before Poptropica got the “Who Broke It?” treatment.

You may have also noticed some photos in this mostly-illustrated video. The broken coffeepot is lifted straight out of the original Parks and Recreation scene, the cat-ifited Purple Paw image is an edit of Chocolate aka OMG Cat, and the wall at the end features some art of the PHB authors: the current PHB banner by Slanted Fish and a “Draw the Squad” meme by Magic Kid and QueenCookieMonster. 📷🎨

Once again, I hope you like the video (and this post, I guess). You guys are more than welcome to share your Pop creations be it videos, art, or writing! You can post them on social media, on the PHC Discord server, or even on the PHB. We love seeing everyone’s work!

Thank you for watching, and have a good day!
