Beyond the PHB’s Costume Lookbook, a recent Creators’ Blog post from guest writer Pink Crush covers 10 poppin’ styles, with promises of 11 more to come later. You can read more about the thought behind each one on the blog, but here’s an overview of the fits:

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!
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.
That’s a wrap for this update. Are you sensing a little monotony in the week-by-weeks of Pop life? Don’t miss our recent Open Letter to Poptropica where we discuss the game’s potential for more than our pies in the sky — and share your thoughts in the comments, too!
Hey, Poptropicans! We just received more details about Pop’s upcoming Roblox game. If you have questions about island inspiration, gameplay, or other miscellaneous details, then you’ve come to the right place.
Many fans speculated which classic island inspired this little collab, with the most frequent guess being Monster Carnival. While our guesses were close, Pop’s debut Roblox game is actually based on the similarly spooky Zomberry Island! 🧟♀️🫐 I guess the swan threw us for a loop. 🦢
This crossover event will pit humans and zomberries against each other in an all-new multiplayer experience. Considering the fact that zombie games have a great presence on Roblox, it’s easy to see why Zomberry Island was a prime candidate for a Roblox spinoff. However, it would have been nice to see another island get the spotlight since we got the Zomberry Hero event less than two years ago.
Some fans might also be disappointed that this game won’t prominently display Pop’s storytelling capabilities. While I don’t play or watch anything relating to Roblox, it seems storytelling is not Roblox’s main priority. Plus, we hope the best stories are being saved for Poptropica’s main projects.
Update: Turns out the following featured image is just fan art. Still cool nonetheless!
We also got an inside scoop outside of the Creators’ Blog. DataSigh, a 3D modeler for Roblox, revealed a 3D recreation of Poptropica’s iconic yellow blimp on Twitter. The model looks great, and I can’t wait to see what it looks like in the game!
DataSigh’s tweet also included one of my own Poptropica illustrations. The original tweet did not credit any artist for the illustration, but proper credit was added after I asked for it. I’m honored that my art was featured by a game developer even if I would have appreciated credit from the beginning. That begs the question: why was fan art included and not any official Poptropica images? 🤔
According to their Twitter bio, DataSigh works for Dubit, a games studio with a slight connection to Pop: a former Pop Creator published an article about the game on Dubit’s website back in 2013. It’s possible that Poptropica hired Dubit to create the new Zomberry-inspired Roblox game, or DataSigh might just be a Pop fan — another Roblox project they shared was a boat combat systeminspired by Skullduggery Island.
Before I sign off, here’s a reminder that today (March 11) is the last day you can visit the Baron’s airship and purchase the latest collection of curiosities. Grab every item to your liking before the Baron sets off on her next adventure!
If you want your costume design brought to life in Poptropica, why not submit it to March’s costume contest? You can enter via social media or Poptropica’s submissions page until March 21 at 8pm PST/11pm EST.
Hey Poptropicans, pop in for the latest pro-tropica propaganda, celebrating the spirit of International Women’s Day, a fan game, and more! ✊ No misinformation here, we promise. Just spicy tweets. 🔥
Anyway, over on their Instagram story, Poptropica did put out a more Pop-based post for International Women’s Day with a collage of iconic Poptropica females mostly from islands lost, including the museum curator from Counterfeit Island and Daphne Dreadnaught from the Spook Central minigame. And check out the latest fan artfeatures:
That last one is particularly noteworthy: they’re screenshots from a Poptropica fan game! If you visit the artist’s IG page, you’ll find a link in their bio to Tropican Plaza, a fan-made island built on Unity. The gameplay is just like a typical Poptropica quest, with a storyline (about catching snakes for a fashion show to save a shop owner’s business) and items to collect and use. Play it here, or watch the walkthrough below:
Also, curiously after our post about Poptropica’s Twitter follows being mostly of brands without direct relation to Pop, Poptropica announced that they’ll be doing a follow spree once they hit 10K followers.
With 8.7K followers now, it might be a little while, but Poptropica fans have been dropping their handles just in case the moment comes. And they did follow some of them back already — they’re now at 146 following, nearly 3x more than before!
doing a follow spree once we hit 10k followers, who wants that follow back 🤪
And remember the big reveal last week of Poptropica making a Roblox game? While no new info has been released, the legendary YouTuber Thinknoodlesdid take notice. As someone who is known for both Poptropica and Roblox videos, having the two worlds collide is going to make for a pretty special video on his channel! 👀
I NEED MORE INFO. DM’S RN!!!!!

Anyway, we started this post with a Pop pun — let’s end with one too! Were or are you an entrepreneur of Poptropica secrets? 🤔
