The Creators have just released the new Poptropica feature “Realms” – which is basically Poptropica Land, but now with separate worlds and an apparent universe that is yours to do what you want with. Check out the PHB’s Realms guide for an in-depth look on this new feature!
UPDATE: According to Poptropica’s Twitter, 1000+ Realms were created and 7000+ scenes were saved just in the first evening of the launch! They also tweeted this sneak peek of hats based on the various biomes, possibly coming soon…
There are 7 biomes (Forest, Snow/Ice, Desert, Swamp, Lunar, Fire, Crystal) – the latter two are members-only and the latter four are new. Each has its own ambient soundtrack (no more chirping bird noises!); plus, you can listen to the awesome main theme on Jeff Heim’s soundcloud:
In Between: We can fill this with our imaginations.
Deserted: Monument valley, this isn’t.
Mega: Coming soon to a desktop near you.
Second up, check out this awesome “bubble universe” sneak peek for Poptropica Realms!
Third up, the Creators tweeted this cool layout of all the train carriages on Mystery Train Island – a glimpse into a planning stage of the past. Pretty interesting! 😛
They also tweeted another PopStorm (#11) – this one is a bunch of little jumping jellybeans. Cute! :3
Lastly, PoptropiCon: Episode 2 (Spoiler Alert) is now available for iOS, and it’s free! The Creators tweeted this image along with it, which HP posted earlier as an unreleased carousel slide for the redesigned Poptropica layout, so although it’s not on the front page, it looks like it still served some purpose after all.
What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with a little bit of Poptropica news for you. For starters, Arabian Nights: Episode 2 is now available to everyone.Non-members can now enter the thieves’ lair and try to locate the Sultan’s lamp! For a walkthrough, refer to our Arabian Nights Island Guide.
Meanwhile, PoptropiCon: Episode 2 (Spoiler Alert) is now available on Android! If you own an Android device, go download the update to play the Island! (iOS users will have to wait.)

Yeah, I know. I haven’t posted since November. Yell at me all you want.
Anyway, remember how the official Poptropica Twitter page teased us with something called Poptropica Realms? Well, the kindly Creators over on the official blog, fresh from their winter hiatus, have just officially announced this updated version of Land – starting with a video trailer:
Although not revealing much new, the trailer looks like it would hype willing players (even non-members!) to take the challenge to see what they can do.
Also, there is an official tour page for Realms, which hasn’t changed much from the Lands page besides the new title and video. This is intriguing – and although it’ll be open to everyone, members do get bonus benefits according to the official description:
Everyone can create and explore Poptropica Realms, but only Poptropica Members can unlock its true power! With Membership, create even more new Realms, and share your creations with the Poptropica Creators. You’ll also get exclusive props and decorations to make your Realms truly unique.
We know we’ll get to create new worlds and planets to share with people, but I wonder what other new things Realms will give to the table that Lands didn’t already…

The Creators have released yet another Galactic Hot Dogs sponsored quest video on their official YouTube account, this one for a new ad that’s on Main Streets.
Thanks to Slippery Raptor for the pics & insight into the ad –
The exterior of the advertisement shows the Neon Wiener with a smoking large hole behind it. When you enter, a short clip will play, showing the Neon Wiener blasting off into space.
Inside, you can talk to Humphree on your right and F.R.E.D on your left. Moving along, there are a couple of dummies (Cosmoe and Humphree for boys; Princess Dagger and Evil Queen Dagger for girls) you can Costumize from. To your right, Princess Dagger and Cosmoe are guarding the Mega Dog. By clicking on the door to the right, you’ll shoot lasers with two Jacks, Cosmoe, and Princess Dagger.
Isn’t GHD Island supposed to come out some time this month? Hmm…

In other news, the first Arabian Nights episode, How Bazaar (“and robbed from afar!” Okay, I need to stop lyrical connections…) is now available for FREE on iOS devices!
(For Android users, “How Bazaar” has already been released.)

One more thing before I go – according to Poptropica’s tweet, this is “Early concept pencil art. For something. Something February-ish.”
Could it be the cover for the Poptropica comic graphic novel? Is that guy in the blimp… cutting the rope from the protagonists? Uh-oh…
Happy holidays from the PHB! It’s been a great year and being part of the PHB has been absolutely amazing. You guys really welcomed me and it’s just been really awesome. 😀
Well, it looks like a comic to promote an island, like the Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic comic series from before. For what island, I’m not sure. However, it does look a bit like the abandoned geological park idea that surfaced in the Daily Pop in July 2013, around the same time sneak peeks for the underground cave island showed up. Could they be related? Will this ever be a complete island?
Disguiser: You might recognize this incognito geological feature.
Rock of Ages: A very faithful bit of old geology.
Range Rovers: The park is in capable hands.
Mouth of Madness: Are you sure you want to step inside?
Pooled Resources: Value is in the eye of the beholder, of course.
Can You Canoe: Hang around a while and you may get a chance.
The Creators also shared this Poptropica Realms sneak peek (see below). The caption: “Just grabbed from a Poptropica Creator’s computer when she snuck out to do some shopping.”
I personally can’t wait for Poptropica Realms! 😛 In the meantime, members can still play with Poptropica Land – and if you need a guide, we’ve got one right here!
