Jade Scarab Island, Monthly Costume Contests

Cat’s in the Costume Cradle ๐Ÿฑ

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for a sneak peek and costume collection!

Secret of the Jade Scarab, the final Dream Island winner, is still in development, and the Pop Creators are treating us to another sneak peek. Earlier, we got two glimpses of a cat, and now, there’s a third:

We still don’t know much about this green-eyed kitty, but from the various sketched movements in the new pic, it seems like it might play an active role in the upcoming quest! The Creators also promised this island is “coming soon” and will be available “to all players.” Sweet!

Curious about what secrets lie within the Jade Scarab? Check out this PHB post for an inside look with the Dream Island creator!


In other news, the fan submission reel for February’s costume contest is now up on Pop’s YouTube channel! A winner has not been announced yet, but you can enjoy the collection of entries below:

Exciting stuff, right? We’re still looking forward to new islands and costumes in 2022, but we Pop players haven’t forgotten the old ones. Poptropica blue, and islands that got pruned, when you comin’ home?

Cosmopoptropicans and Creatives ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Hey Poptropicans! Tune in for news of a name drop, fan art features, and a birthday mention. Let’s pop right in!

The well-known women’s media brand Cosmopolitan published an article about actress Hailee Steinfeld back in November that just made it into Poptropica’s new YouTube short. Turns out the writer’s a veteran!

Although Steinfeld’s movies and Cosmo aren’t written for kids, we can all appreciate the Pop name drop: “At 14, she was collecting an Oscar nomination, while the rest of us were, IDK, playing Poptropica.”


Speaking of features, there’s more on the Pop Creators’ Blog! A recent post spotlights fan art, including some we’ve shared on the PHB via Pop’s IG stories. Plus, here’s one from Twitter by @XMzhier:


Also on the Creators’ Blog is a post from guest writer Young Rider. They write about visiting the Baron (though she’s gone by the time this post comes up), their mess of a clubhouse, and the upcoming birthday of Poptropica founder Jeff Kinney on February 19. Happy 51st, Jeff!

That’s a wrap for this post. Pop on, Poptropicans!

PoptropiCon-tinued with Challenges ๐Ÿฆน

Hey Poptropicans, here’s the latest. We’ve got reminders, revisits, and ridiculously creative works to see. Let’s pop right in!

The news on Home Island is that the Baron has already left, and for the first time in a while, a new week hasn’t brought changes to Adventure Outfitters, which is still stocking lots of layered winter looks and Valentine’s Day items. Also, this Friday marks the end of the PoptropiCon Challenges โ€” enter for your chance at free credits!


Speaking of PoptropiCon fever, there’s more. The Creators’ Blog recently pulled up PoptropiCon Bingo cards for Episodes 1 and 2, featuring lots of colorful characters for you to look for as you wander around the convention. (Pro tip: Download the PDF from our PoptropiCon Island Guide, which also includes the bingo game for Episode 3!)


Poptropica’s been picking up the activity on Twitter, too. A recent tweet hyped up the return of Flash islands, but it was quickly followed by a note that it was just about conversion โ€” in other words, nothing new.

Another tweet even suggested that buying memberships can contribute to Poptropica’s progress in bringing old islands back. That may be true, but we can’t help but wonder if it could go any faster!


Last but not least, enjoy the latest fan art features โ€” cute and creepy โ€” from Poptropica’s Instagram stories:

That’s all for this update. Keep on popping on, Poptropicans!
