Hey, Poptropican prisoners!

Yes, you heard it right! Escape From Pelican Rock Island is now open for preview to the public! For now, everyone can visit Main Street and collect two prizes – read on for more details!

We think that the island’s common room could be Bert’s Basement Gym or the City Bank. What do you think it is? Along the street, you’ll also find a Fresh Fruit Stand, some prisoners digging a hole, and the Ferry Market. Like the soundtrack? Listen to it here!

Now to get the prizes, you must talk to the first cop you meet on the island. The cop needs someone to take care of her bird, and after the conversation you’ll automatically get the Pet Bird Follower!

As you move further to your left, you’ll find a police officer with her dog. She’ll stop you and tell you that her dog — Sparky —doesn’t like you. As a precaution, she gives you the Prisoner Costume which includes the costumizable Sparky trailing right behind you.

What a great way to start the island, eh? I believe these are great prizes with crazy backstories. I also think that in the next few weeks, we’ll see more development and meet new people on the island. I hope we’ll get more prizes as we come closer to the island release!

We’re all very excited about this island. Are you? The island comes out in December, at least for members! By the way, if you’re a member, don’t forget to get your free Escapee Dr. Hare costume!

Plus, the Reality TV Island World Champions tournament started today! Good luck and let us know how you ranked by completing RTV Island and checking the map! If this is your first time finishing the island, you’ll also get 200 credits, which is 50 more than usual.

For a written walkthrough with pictures, check out our Reality TV Island Guide!

Escape from Pelican Rock Island, Reality TV Island

Just escaped: Dr. Hare, Skinny Moon, & more on the way

November 11, 2015November 11, 2015 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Poptropica’s been busy, and here’s the latest in what’s popping!

If you’re a member, you can now grab the Escapee Dr. Hare costume from the Store. Poptropica has hinted that Dr. Hare will be making an appearance soon – perhaps in the upcoming Escape From Pelican Rock? In any case, I’m currently wearing parts of the costume to get hyped for EFPR Island!

Non-members, not to worry – Poptropica plans to give away even more Escape From Pelican Rock gear on Thursday, which includes the K9 (police dog) we saw in this sneak peek! Everyone will be able to get this stuff. No specific date on EFPR’s release yet, but we do know it’s coming in December!

There’s something else going on this Thursday: Poptropica will be releasing a World Champions’ live map for Reality TV Island! Plus, they’ll be offering first-time finishers of Reality TV Island 200 credits (instead of the usual 150). Get your game on with the PHB’s Reality TV Island Guide. The map goes live at 3pm Eastern time tomorrow!

Also, Veteran’s Day has just passed us by – and Poptropica gave a shoutout to a Creator we haven’t heard about, Golden Boot, on social media! In addition to tweeting that he’d worked in military intel for 6 years, they also gave out a quote from him on the Poptropica Facebook page which reads:

I spent most of my time translating Spanish, but I was cross-trained as an Interrogator and Counter Intelligence Agent. I worked security at Olympic Village in ’02 under the Secret Service, and did stints in Nicaragua, Spain, Qatar, and Kuwait, and participated in the invasion of Iraq.

Good for you, Golden Boot! 🙂 Maybe we’ll hear more snippets of other Creators’ stories in the future?

Anticipating that some Poptropicans would have the day off, newly-revealed Creator Skinny Moon (who currently runs Poptropica’s Twitter) held another impromptu Poptropica party, this time in the Home Island common room at about 1pm Eastern time! Apparently, she was crushed in head-to-head Balloons but was victorious in Paint War.

Keep checking Poptropica’s Twitter (and the PHB’s, in our blog sidebar) for more of these spontaneous hangouts! In the meantime, the PHC is also a good place to hang out with Poptropicans. 😉

Be sure to catch up on more news below in Blake’s post: Dogs on the scent, pumpkins for all, and the return of Cosmoe! Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😀

Bonus Items, Mythology Island, Reality TV Island

Only for the most daring/bored of all.

March 30, 2010March 30, 2010 Smockers

It’s no April Fool’s joke. Poptropica Members will have Early Access to Mythology Island beginning this Thursday, April 1!
(information from the Poptropica Facebook page!)

And as stated on its information page, Mythology Island will be open to all on April 29, 2010. Almost a month away. x_x

Today, Dr. Hare showed us on the Creators’ Blog that your Island Medallion card for Reality TV Island actually keeps track of the amount of seasons you have dominated in on the island! Unless you beat Hippie Harry to fame and fortune, in which case I despise you.

reality_medallion — Exhibit A: A common result of extreme boredness.

Dr. Hare continues to mock us in his post by challenging us to beat his high score of a whopping five seasons won. He then questions us how many times we have completed Reality TV Island, the latest island brought to you by the creators. He also probably should’ve asked us how many times we have been way too busy to even play Reality TV Island. 🙂

As the lazy boy I am, I am a 1-time winner. Tell us: how many times have you completed Reality TV Island? Haven’t even completed one season? What are you doing then? Head out to that island and compete! With guide in hand, you’re sure to overtake the bunny himself.

Yaay. Whoohoo. RTV is here…

March 25, 2010March 26, 2010 coderkid

Well, guys, today is the big, big day. It’s…

DECEMBER 12 21, 2012

Whoops, sorry. Wrong date. It’s…

YA BIRTHDAY, WE GONNA PARTAY

LIKE ITS YA BIRTHDAY

…Um, that was awkward. *ahem* Moving on…It’s actually…

MARCH 24, 2010!!

On this magical and momentous day, us Poptropicans without membership, get to access the greatest and latest:

REALITY TV ISLAND!!!

But to be honest, I don’t feel all that cheery. Having to wait so long, and miss out is kinda sapping all the fun out of playing a new island. Which is another reason this whole Membership thing sucks. I mean, I understand the Creators need cha-chingy and all, but at least they could still have Early Access Passes…

Anyway, see you guys on RTV!…if I ever get around to playing it. (BOO HOMEWORK…oh and parents xD JK) Click the links below for a TV Island walkthrough guide written by Mega Boy, the island map, or our information page for RTV.

guide ~ map ~ info page

Here’s the Creators blog post about it. A new mini-game challenge (Hang Glider) was also added to the island in celebration for today. Apparently, they share none of my unhappiness on what would otherwise be an awesome day:

The wait is now over! Reality TV Island is now available to everyone! Join the other contestants in the various challenges to determine who will win all of the fame and glory! Now with an all new game! Grab your hang gliders and get ready for some soaring fun!

VLAD THE VIKING

OK, I see nothing in there about membership being destroyed. *reads again* Nope, I didn’t miss anything. Looks like it’s gonna take a personal visit before Mr. Leary gets it: I HATE MEMBERSHIP. In fact, Mr.Leary, I’ll give you a head start. Start stocking up on the bodyguards.

Cause I’m coming for you.
And now, on a completely unrelated note: Sometimes, I scare myself.

Right…um….I’m just gonna walk off of the stage right he– AAHHHHHH!!! OOWWWW!!! CURSES WHO MOVED THE DOGGONE STAIRS!!! OH MY SPLEEN!!! OHH THE PAIN!!!

RTV OUT!!!!!! And new PCB polls.

February 26, 2010March 3, 2010 Coskit

I had an idea recently. Maybe I should change my name from Coskit (which so many have laughed at) to Daedalus, the Greek inventor and the son of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. What do you think? Should I or shouldn’t I? I want to know……that is, if you figure this message out. Post a comment and let me know.

Reality TV Island Guide now available!https://poptropica.wordpress.com/reality-tv-guide

Thanks to Mega Boy and Silverwolf1 for contributing. Be sure to check Poptropica Help Videos if you would prefer video walkthroughs for RTV! ~Hijuyo

Breaking News!!!!: I was looking around, and I went to nategreenwall.com. Then I clicked on Blog – and guess what I found?!!!

PROOF!!!!

Poptropica

May 2nd, 2009

As some of you know or have found out I, along with a lot of other awesome people, work on Poptropica; however, I am NOT the one to email or ask questions about Poptropica. I am like crazy busy – I hardly have time to even look at my blog or even post. Sorry.

If you do have Poptropica questions here are some good sites to check out:

THE POPTROPICA HELP BLOG HAS A LINK ON NATE GREENWALL’S BLOG!!!! THIS COULD ONLY MEAN ONE THING: THEY READ OUR BLOG!!!!!! YES!!!!

Ahem, sorry. I’ll calm down now.

Well, on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, Reality TV island was released to Members. This is more that 2 years after the Creators first announced RTV. Members seem very excited about RTV, and I’m sure Smockers is even happier because I’ve heard tell that Hippie Man is alive and well. While the Members *gag* frolic happily in RTV and us NonMembers sit and wait until March 24, we’re planning an attack on the Creators on account of Membership. Bring your hand items!!!! I’ve got mah FLAMETHROWER.

Also, there are NEW PCB POLLS!!!!! They say:

How would you like to connect with other people who are playing Poptropica?

I’d like to be able to make friends with people I meet in Poptropica, and see what they’re up to from day to day.

I’m satisfied with playing multiplayer games in the common rooms, and using the Multiverse with real-life friends.

I don’t care what other people are doing. I like to play by myself.

What would you think about having your own room with your own furniture and other stuff?

I’d like that a lot!
I’d try it out.
I don’t want a room.

How public or private would you want your room to be?

Open to the public! I’d want everyone to see it.
Somewhat public. I’d just want my friends to see it.
Somewhat private. I’d want to be able to invite people.
Totally private. No one but me allowed.

So, these are the new PCB polls. The bolded choices are the ones that are in the lead currently. I encourage you to vote for those. Why am I so excited? The rooms were MY idea – for Coderkid’s Colossal Contest! My entry was “customizable rooms, with furniture, decorations, and such.” This almost proves that the Creators read this blog! Awesome!!!! Everyone, please vote for rooms. It would be even more awesome if they credit the Poptropica Help Blog for the idea of rooms.

Sayonara, Earthlings!

Coskit is…….on her way to Pluto. xD
