Future Fanfare for Present Poptropicans 🤞

Slanted Fish

Poptropicans, big news ahead! 👀

But we’re going to have to wait just a bit longer for it, since whatever it is will be revealed at 12 p.m. PST (3 p.m. EST) on Wednesday, April 6, according to Poptropica’s socials. What could it be? 🤔

Pop’s tweet tells us our “voices have been heard” and includes “past Poptropicans,” so the hype is set for something that may address veteran (and even newer) players’ increasing concerns about the stalling of old islands returning. Maybe a response to our open letter?

Play on Loop: Let’s try to keep things on track.

Plus, we know they saw the PHB’s recent “Poptropica Hate Blog” April Fools’ prank, since they liked our tweets about them, so maybe they’re finally going to comment less vaguely on fandom frustrations? 🤞

Or might it just be news we’re expecting about the upcoming new Secret of the Jade Scarab Island, or another older episodic island on its way? Either way, pop in tomorrow to find out!

In other news, check out Poptropica’s latest Instagram stories! In addition to the news hype, there’s fun fan art of fave villains, as well as the return of the Poptropica Enneagram we saw last year. (Protip: Click on the artists’ hyperlinked names to view posts in detail.) Enjoy!

March of Outfits: Oscars to Fraggle Rock 🎎

Slanted Fish

March on in, Poptropicans, before March is on its way out!

Entries for the monthly costume contest are in, and while a winner has not yet been selected, the showreel for March’s costume designs is now available below. We’ll find out which one gets made in-game when the Baron docks again in early April!

This past weekend also saw the 2022 Oscars hosted, and Poptropica’s pop-arazzi got in on the buzz with some red carpet looks on their Instagram. 🏆✨ Check out their recreations of big night outfits worn by celebrity singer Beyoncé, actor Simu Liu, actress Jessica Chastain, and actor Kodi Smit-McPhee (swipe to see them all):

Of course, if you’ve been on the internet lately, you might know that the stars of this year’s Oscars weren’t all the glitzy fashion, but the face slap moment that quickly became a meme. 💥 Poptropica’s Instagram might only show a pretty side, but Poptropica’s Twitter gets real with a retweet of one such meme from Coolmath Games, and even their own surprised tweet when the moment occurred. Seems like Pop’s social media might have split personalities across platforms… 🤔

Onto the game itself: on Home Island, there’s a new ad for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (now streaming on Apple TV+)!

Head inside for an obstacle course mini-game to get Gobo’s backpack while avoiding hidden Gorgs and other dangers. After two minutes, if you make it, you’ll win a Doozer Follower and Be Red! outfit.

Still a better game than Unicorn Frenzy, perhaps? If we’re going to be playing lackadaisical mini-games, at least this one’s got Pop style.

Speaking of which, if you’ve been wondering what’s up with Poptropica’s Roblox game (or couldn’t get a game going), Poptropica recently released footage of the candy-colored collect-a-thon in action. 🦄

Rounding off this update are the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories! These characters are really rockin’ their pink. 💖

YouTube Gaming remembers Poptropica

Slanted Fish

History repeats itself — Poptropica’s once again trending on Twitter!

Similar to when this happened last May, mentions of Poptropica picked up steam from an image post that asked people to pick their favorite out of a list of nostalgic kids’ virtual world games from the 2000s. This time, the tweet came from YouTube Gaming, a subsidiary of YouTube.

Plenty of Poptropicans weighed in, including a torn Thinknoodles, Poptropica itself watching the scene unfold with a tea-sipping Amelia, and sister site Coolmath Games, whose support garnered extra bestie points from YouTube Gaming, the original poster.

Meanwhile, Poptropica is putting their best foot forward on their Twitter profile with another one of their odd memes — walking slouched is now “Poptropica posture syndrome.” Watch your back!

Over on the Pop Creators’ Blog, guest writer Golden Horse shared part one of a fanfiction story set after the events of Fairytale Island, before Rumpel’s side quest happened. The fanfic weaves together heroic unicorns, old and new characters inspired by other legends, and a quest to gather items to defeat a great Evil. Read it here!

Rounding off this post, here are the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories this week. Enjoy! (Protip: The PHB always links to each original IG post, so you can click on the artists’ names to view their work in detail, Poptropica’s comments, and bonus pics if any!)

In addition to the latest store items, the Creators’ Blog also celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a special sighting of Amelia beholding a unicorn. The eagle-eyed might notice that they recycled a previous pic from Amelia’s home to create this one (thanks for the tip, Tough Spinner!).

While there haven’t been any unicorns frolicking in-game (besides our pet customizations), could this be a hint for something to come?

Rounding off the tour of new sights are a collection of Poptropica’s Instagram stories from this past week. Enjoy!

St. Patropican’s Pies in the Sky 🥧

Slanted Fish

Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day (this Thursday), Poptropicans! ‘Tis nearly time for the quirky holiday where one puts on green and pinches those who missed the memo. Lucky you who were warned! ☘️

Adventure Outfitters is still stocking lucky greens, and this week they’ve also added green goodies for pets. See it all on the Creators’ Blog »

St. Patrick’s isn’t the only special occasion celebrated by Poptropica this week! Monday, March 14 was Pi Day (3.14…), and Pop marked the event with an irrational graphic of Poptropica pies on their socials.

Also on Instagram, here are the latest character fan art features to grace Poptropica’s stories:
