Hey everyone! I just went go check the Survival tour page, and I noticed that a description has now been added for Episode 4! Here’s what it says:
Your rescuer offers a hot meal and a comfy bed, but you’re not his guest – you’re a prisoner. Can you escape the wilderness lodge before his next hunt begins?!
Sounds a lot like our Van Buren theory, inspired by General Zaroff in the short story The Most Dangerous Game! Of course, we already knew about this. The name of Episode 4 is Cabin Fever, which has not yet been updated on the Survival tour page – but we know this from a look at Poptropica’s code:
This can be used to find new and unreleased Poptropica pics and details – as you can see from the sample above, Episode 4: Cabin Fever involves a bear claw, security code, empty pitcher, full pitcher, and some tainted meat. Stay tuned to the PHB, where we’ll be uncovering more in an upcoming entry of the Survival Files!
Since we already covered most of the back story of Survival in the last file, I decided to make the rest of the files all about the upcoming episodes and give sneak peeks for what’s coming next.

First of all, the items for the second episode of Survival: a fishing pole, some grubs, another handbook (it’s different this time), handbook pages, a fishing costume, a hook, some pill bugs, 2 shoelaces, worms, and the island medallion. In total, there are 10 items in the quest. From the looks of it, you’ll be experimenting with different types of bait in order to get some fish.
The forest is approaching spring in the episode, and things are starting to melt (if you don’t remember, Survival 1 was set in a winter theme). This allows you to fish around and get some food in order to survive.
With no help in sight, your hunger threatens to overtake you. Can you catch your next meal under the ice — or will you become fish food?
The episode’s game play involves assembling a working fishing pole and obtaining a sufficient bait. Along with that, a suspicious character whom we don’t know the name of will cross paths with you on the quest, and from the looks of it, he’s quite superstitious and perhaps a fisherman.
But Survival 2 isn’t where the story starts to get interesting — it’s the third chapter that the events lead up to the rumored Van Buren character — and I’m here to say that Van Buren is real.
They’ll probably take a different route with the story this time — Van Buren rescues you, but the more that you learn, he’s actually an evil poacher. I really like how the story is going, and it’s becoming my favorite out of the two, even though I was leaning toward Mission Atlantis previously. I have a good feeling about the Survival series. 😀
Hi Gs, (yes, I’m back to my old intro, what are the odds 😛 )
You’re probably wondering about the title, and you should be — I have solid proof this time! Or not. But I’m pretty sure about this, so let’s get started! 😀
The picture above shows one of the numerous pop quizzes that abide in the Friends feature. This particular quiz challenges you on what your favorite Poptropica villain is – note that the villains in the list are the main ones – except one. Along with legendary villains such as Captain Crawfish, Black Widow, and Dr. Hare is a not-so-famous villain, El Mustachio Grande (from Wild West Island). Why would he be in the list? That itself seems odd.
But it goes even further; a Daily Pop from the developmental stages of Super Villain Island, which combines some of the most famous villains of Poptropica, shows an apparent mega boss combining the four villains of the island – but you may notice that along with the jester/bunny/artist/pirate look of the robot, there are a couple hints as to something else in the works. Notice the mustache and sombrero kind of hat – some main attributes of El Mustachio.
There still is one more thing about another Daily Pop around that time. Take a look at the sneak peek picture below. It’s showing a primary working of the Prison Lab where the sleep machine and Dr. Jupiter reside on Super Villain Island. Remember, there are only 4 main villains whose dreams you infiltrate – but there is one more sleep containment in the picture. It’s obviously meant for El Mustachio.
The question is, why was El Mustachio taken out of the island? Maybe because he didn’t have a Creator alias, or he wasn’t popular enough – but if that was the case, then what was the motive in the first place? Did he interfere with the story line, or did he just not cut it? What if he was put back into the SUI for Super Villain Island? That would be pretty awesome. 😀
So what do you think? Am I right about El Mustachio, or is my theory as weak as the Wild West Island pea shooter? Tell me in the comments. 😉
Such update, very compiled! Be prepared to have your mind overloaded with new things happening on Poptropica.
Username Finding
Have you ever wanted to know some of the usernames from your Friends list that you befriended in common rooms? Now you can! Use the video walkthrough below! 😀
To clarify, the “pass hash” that I blurred in the video was not Samwow5’s. It was mine. This is not a way to hack into accounts. Yes, the hash can be unhashed, but it shows your password. Right under the “pass hash”, your username shows up. Try it for yourself. This is not a way to hack accounts. Keep on finding usernames! 😀
Find the iPad Handheld!
For some users, you can find the rumored iPad handheld on the Main Street of multiple islands including Early Poptropica. When spacebar is pressed, the iPad/tablet tosses a Disney Infinity ball into the air that then bursts into a Disney Infinity character. Such strange. (credit: Shaggy Dragon)
More on Upcoming Islands
We now know what the third episode of Survival will be about — a radio Distress Signal! In fact, that’s the title of the episode. The main theme for Survival Island: Episode 2 has been uncovered, along with many other new tracks for upcoming islands, which are now listed on our Behind the Scenes page! The episode seems to be coming very soon — most of the island has been uploaded in the files.
But wait, there’s more! Turns out deep diving isn’t the only thing we’re going to be doing on the next island after Survival… get ready for Mission Atlantis! I’ll go into the details soon, but for now, Mission Atlantis is all we know about this new island! 😀
Upcoming Poptropican Portraits Livestream April 2014
This Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00 PM EST, I will be hosting the April 2014 livestream for Poptropican Portraits, where you get to watch me draw live, and chat with special guests! The livestream will be hosted on Google+ and the PHC; you can use either one. Guess who you think are going to be the guests in the comments! 😀 (Note: the picture below doesn’t show all the guests that will be on the upcoming livestream; they are guests from other past livestreams. 😉 )
You can enter your username via the contact form below to be drawn from a hat. If you win, you get to be drawn live! May the odds be ever in your favor. ^-^

Who else agrees that this is the only page on the internet that contains the real way to win a free iPad? Tell me in the comments. 😛 And I know, I’ve been slacking on my posting as of late — but not to worry! You’ll be getting more material very soon. 😀
EDIT: The site redirects to Poptropica now… they must’ve seen this post.
Hey everyone! HP found something really cool today and told me to post about it! If you visit this link, you’ll find Google Maps on a Poptropica page, but tailored for Poptropica. It’s called Poptropica Visitor Map (or “Poptropica Birth Announcements” on your tab).
(I was looking around on it, and the pic at my house was my dad and I working on a floodlight while my neighbor’s yard was torn out… great picture of our house though xD).
Anyway, it seems to be for showing where and when Poptropica accounts are being born, and although it’s not fully operational yet, maybe it will be soon. So far, it seems to be stuck on just one random Poptropican: Tiny Leaf, born in Thorn Hill, TN.
In my personal opinion, this might be too much personal info… I don’t want someone stalking me! xD I hope Poptropica comes out with a more discreet way of making this work, though, because I think this is really cool!
