Ice cream cat, how about that? ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿˆ

Hey Poptropicans, are you ready for costumes galore?? ๐Ÿ‘—

The Pop Creators received tons fantastic entries for July’s monthly costume contest โ€” enough to create a picture slideshow nine minutes long! Just take a look at the fandom’s creativity:

Picking a winning design was “an impossibly hard choice to make,” according to the Creators’ Blog, but in the end they went with the Ice Cream Cat by Silver Flame. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿˆ As promised, the costume will soon be available for free through the returning Baron’s airship. Sweet!

While the video above contains loads more amazing costume ideas (and some copyrighted characters like Bendy, Baldi, Minecraft creepers, and more), I’d like to highlight a few of my personal favorites with a mini slideshow of my own. Which ones caught your eye, and did you have a creation featured? Share with us in the comments!


In other news, we’ve made it to the end of July, which means the login challenge has wrapped up! If you managed to log in to Pop every day for the past 10 days, a bonus 5,000 credits should have automatically been added to your account today. Cha-ching!

That’s all for now! Check back tomorrow for some more fanciful Community Creations. Stay awesome, Poptropicans. โœŒ๏ธโœจ

First day fits and last day blitz โœจ

Happy weekend, Poptropicans! We’ve got schooling vids, villain doodles, and more amusement from the realms of social media. Let’s pop right in!

As July winds down, the Pop Creators are already getting ready for back-to-school season with a new video about “First Day Fits: Poptropica Edition” shared on Instagram and TikTok. The featured look, which is narrated, includes “an appropriate pair of shorts,” a “cute school bag,” and plenty more pieces to help you create your most fashionable self!

And speaking of TikTok, looks like there’s been a couple more vids posted there since we last checked. In addition to the cool schoolgirl, we also have a narrated video about the Baron’s airship (also seen on IGTV without narration) as well as Cinder the punk rock princess. ๐Ÿ”ฅ


Also on Instagram, the Pop Creators have been sharing more fan art on their story, as well as a fan post featuring Time Tangled Island, which recently became available to all again. Check them out:


Finally, if you’re reading this on Friday, todayโ€™s also the last day of the login challenge. If you managed to log in every day for the past 10 days, you’ll be eligible for the 5,000 credit craze bonus to be automatically added to your account this Saturday, July 31. We hear the Baron is on her way back, so save some of that dough for that spending spree! ๐Ÿค‘

Keep on popping on, Poptropicans!

Advertisements, Contests, Creators' Blog Guest Posts, Tribes

Vivo la tribal, or at least an outline ๐ŸŠ

Hey Poptropicans! In this post, we’ve got another ad game, another challenge, and another guest post. Poptropica’s certainly been busy!

Let’s start off with the big green tree base on Home Island promoting the upcoming Netflix animated film Vivo. Head inside and you’ll find it’s even prettier within! You can also talk to the animals to start a game.

The goal of the mini-game is to make your way through the Cuban rainforest to reach the Sand Dollars girlband before time runs out. Along the way, you’ll have to dodge flies, crocs, and even a giant snake.

You’ll win two prizes at the end: Gabi’s Stylin’ Outfit (with a drum animation) and a Head Rider of Vivo, a kinkajou (honey bear).

Between Vivo and Kamp Koral Island 2, it’s cool to see Poptropica pulling in their ad dollars in more creative ways again. Let’s hope we’re on our way to getting rid of those pesky sidebar adsโ€”and while we’re wishing, how about the return of bigger game screens?

Vivo releases on Netflix in two weeks on August 6, with songs by the legendary Lin-Manuel Miranda (of Hamilton fame). Stay tuned!


Next up, another official artsy challenge! While the past few weeks and months have seen fan art, fan fic, and costume design contests, the new Coloring Creation Challenge asks Poptropicans to create their own Pop-themed coloring page! The idea is to create an outline drawing (with black or blue marker) on a white page that can be colored in, like so:

To enter the challenge, snap a pic of your design and drop it into Poptropica’s submissions form no later than 8 p.m. PST on Monday, July 26. Doodle on!


Last but not least, there’s a new guest post on the Creators’ Blog by Invisible Ring on the gone-but-not-forgotten Tribes of Poptropica. As she explains, tribes were teams you could join in the Poptropolis Games and rep on your friends page or with custom hats you could make in the Twin Palms Mall of Night Watch Island. Plus, each tribe had their own themed common room!

You can learn more over on the PHB’s Tribes page as well as the individual tribe pages linked there (thanks for the blog shout-out, Ring!).

Here on the PHB, we’ve enjoyed even more tribal fun with our 2016 and 2020 Tribal Tournaments, and we even host a series of epic “Tribal Tailorings” in our ASG collection. Here’s hoping for the return of the eight epic tribes!

That’s a wrap for this post. What did you think of the Vivo ad game, and will you be streaming this release? What ideas are brewing in your head for the Coloring Creations Challenge? And which tribe rules them all? Share with us in the comments, and stay popping!
