Hey Poptropicans! Are your fearsome faces ready for Halloween? We’ve got another round of store updates and IG stories to inspire you!
Adventure Outfitters is once again stocking the Midnight Ninja and Dance-a-Corn costumes, available to all for 250 credits each. For members, a hundo more creds can get you the Retro Robot gear. See the full stock on the Pop Creators’ Blog »
Speaking of Halloween costumes, be sure to get yours in to the PHB’s costume contest before the deadline this Friday, October 29! For fashion pointers, check out Gentle Dolphin’s Declassified Costume Creation Guide on the Pop Creators’ Blog. We’ll be announcing the winners on the blog on Halloween, so come back here for the show! 🎃✨
Fabulous ‘fits don’t just prance in-game; they’re also given lots of love on social media! Check out the latest fan art features from Pop’s Instagram stories playing with facial expressions and fanciful outfits:
Ahoy, Poptropicans! It’s time to embark on another journey and uncover some Poptropica news. We’ll admire some amazing artwork, say “Bonjour!” to the Baron, and chronicle some creative costumes. Let’s go!
Here are some fan art features from Pop’s recent Instagram stories. Plenty of fan art per usual, but also some promo for the Baron’s Crusade!
Two of the stories relate to the new Baron’s Crusade side quest. One is a poll asking users if they had played the quest, and the other is a Poptropica TikTok video that was posted on a Bones Day. We can safely say that this quest is Noodle-approved. 🦴
The Creators’ Blog also published a walkthrough for the Baron’s Crusade side quest. The written walkthrough and accompanying video show players how to complete the quest and uncover the hidden Easter eggs. You have one week left to set off on this once in a lifetime adventure and to snatch some Halloween goodies, including the six winning designs from September’s costume contest. Good luck, adventurers!
Speaking of costumes, I’m excited to share that I wrotea guest post for the Creators’ Blog! Since the PHB Halloween costume contest is still open, I wrote Gentle Dolphin’s Declassified Costume Creation Guide(Points if you get the reference😉)! This guide gives tips for making custom in-game looks and showcases some examples as seen below. I hope these tips help you create your ideal costume whether it be for trick-or-treating, island perusing, or contest submitting.
You may also notice a new Contests page on the Poptropica website menu. So far, this page only features the original announcement of monthly costume contests from June 2021. Maybe this is where the Creators will post updates about upcoming contests? There hasn’t been any word regarding a new costume contest in October, so I think we might get an announcement in early November. We’ll wait and see!
That’s all for now! Did you play the Baron’s Crusade side quest yet? What did you think of it, and did you discover every secret? Have you entered the PHB’s Halloween costume contest yet, or are you planning to enter this coming week? Let us know in the comments below!
Hey Poptropicans! We’ve got news of a side quest, a Squid Game takeover, Cinder’s punk rock glory, and fan art stories. Let’s fire away!
It seems the Halloween surprise we’ve been waiting for may not be the return of Zomberry Hero, but something completely new and involving the Baron! According to the Pop Creators’ Blog, “The Baron’s headed on an adventure and rumor has it, you’re the prime candidate to come along.” They even shared this stunning Pop portrait of the Baron with Ack, the monkey and first mate! Nice touch with the monkey wrench.
With the Baron here only until the end of Red October, and the mention of the Halloween surprise, it seems likely we’ll get to play this upcoming side quest sometime this month. Plus, unlike Rumpel’s Challenge, the adventure will be available to all players!
Stay tuned for more news of the Baron’s latest tricks and treats. For now, enjoy the Red October skies and all the fun stuff aboard the big airship!
Turns out there are bloodier shenanigans than the Baron on Poptropica, and they involve a much-hyped Netflix show! The Pop Creators have advanced from simple Squid Game memes to recreating its deadly world in the game itself, as seen in their latest TikTok clip:
While Squid Game with its firing squads is not made for children, Poptropicans of all ages can still appreciate this kid-friendly tribute that takes the Gamer Clubhouse to a whole new level with its stacked beds and coffins. As for the prize: how about 45.6 little glowing bunnies?
Speaking of fiery tales, remember Cinder’s iconic transformation from Fairytale Island? Poptropica shared a clip of the punk rock princess on TikTok a couple months ago, and now, it’s available as a YouTube short:
Wrapping up this post is a series of posts shared on Poptropica’s Instagram stories, including an answer box to share about your Halloween ‘fit, as well as tons of fan art. Enjoy!
“What are you dressing up as for Halloween?” Q&A from Poptropica
Remember: Two more weeks until the PHB’s Halloween Costume Contest closes on Friday, October 29! Get your grim grooves and whimsical whooshes going strong, and see you in the next one! 👻🎃
What’s popping, Poptropicans? Pop a little closer for a little dive into spooky TikToks, Popsona stories, and character personalities!
First up, we’ve got TikToks for the spooky season. Last week, Poptropica threw it back with a clip from an old classic: Virus Hunter Island, released in 2013. The warning of how disease spreads really hits different in our pandemic age! The clip was also released as a YouTube short.
This was followed up a few days ago with a part two in “Spookiest Moments in Poptropica”: that moment when all the carnies turned into monsters on Monster Carnival Island. It’s also a YouTube short.
Adding to the Halloween feels, they also dropped a vid exploring the current blood red Home Island, colored by the Baron’s month-long visit.
(Speaking of Halloween, our costume contest here on the PHB runs all throughout this month of “Red October.” Enter if you dare, and you might even win a membership!)
The buzz about Poptropican psyche continues in a new post on the Pop Creators’ Blog from guest writer Golden Wolf, who takes a crack at explaining and predicting the MBTI personalities of various Fairytale Island characters — specifically Rumpelstiltskin as ENFP, Cinder as ENTP, Red as ISTP, and the prince as INFP. (Learn more about MBTI personalities and take the quiz to find out yours here!)
In addition to the headcanons, Wolf also shared a couple of “creepy” anime-inspired Poptropica looks, with a Pop-style drawing of one character and a Pop costume of another. We’re feeling the spooky vibes!
Rumpelstiltskin – ENFP?
Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul – Pop fan art
Kakashi Hatake from Naruto – Pop costume
That wraps up this poppin’ post of personalities. How did you enjoy all the TikToks and IG stories? Have you partaken in our Halloween contest yet?
What MBTI or other personality labels would you use to describe Poptropica’s characters, or your own Popsona and self? Tell us what’s popping with you, and don’t forget to be awesome!
Hey Poptropicans, a classic island is making a comeback!
Poptropica recently dropped a new YouTube video offering a quick glimpse at something to come. It’s got bubbles and submarine pods — can you guess what it is? (Oops, the title of this post gave it away.)
If you’ve been around a while, you’ll probably recognize the beginnings of Mission Atlantis Island in this clip. Oddly, the original trailer video has disappeared, but you can watch the full clip in this old video from Thinknoodles, which also has Daily Pop sneak peeks:
Mission Atlantis originally released in 2014 and had three episodes, all of which disappeared in the transition to Haxe in 2020. (You can still play it on the Poptropica app, though.) In this island, players discover something amazing at the bottom of the sea… if only you can get inside and figure out how it works.
While Mission Atlantis may not have been as popular as other past islands, it’s nevertheless exciting to see that we’re getting closer to another classic returning to the Poptropica map! 🏝
Although the Haxe map currently contains only the first episode for other episodic adventures like Survival and Arabian Nights, we’re hoping that the rest of the story eventually comes along, too. And while we wait, join us in jamming to “Backspace,” our anthem for the old islands!

Also on the Creators’ Blog is another video from guest writer Invisible Ring, who picks up from her last post where she spotlighted Perfect Sky, a Poptropica fan movie creator on YouTube who is no longer active. This time, Ring shares how Poptropicans have been hoping for someone to continue Sky’s legacy, and how she could be that person.
So, inspired by Perfect Sky, Invisible Ring announces that she’s working on a “full-length movie,” and drops a trailer for her upcoming creation. “Poptropica: Battle Morale” tells the story of one little girl standing up to the winds of change in the Poptropica universe. Where others are pessimistic on Pop’s future, she’s optimistic, refusing to let naysayers have the final word. Watch it here:
The world of Poptropica could certainly use more hope, and “Poptropica: Battle Morale” might just be able to offer that light to the fandom. Best of luck on the movie, Ring!
Across the fandom, other stories are being told in still yet spectacular pictures. Just take a look at the latest fan art of haunting characters and places on Poptropica’s Instagram stories!
That’s a wrap for this update. Are you hyped for the return of Mission Atlantis? What about the upcoming fan-made movie? Have you started putting together your outfit for our Halloween costume contest? (It was retweeted by the Pop Creators!) Let us know what’s popping with you!
