Spellbinding sketches, dazzling décor, and famed felons ✏️✨😈

Hello, everyone! It’s time check out some new Poptropica updates regarding drawing, interior decorating, and kidnapping. Need context for that last sentence? Keep on reading!

First, the Creators announced a new mini quest coming to Poptropica. While they didn’t say much regarding the story, they did gladly share a thumbnail sketch. It shows Amelia and a black cat taking a selfie while two other characters are in the middle of a magical baking mishap.

The woman with curly hair and glasses looks familiar. In fact, her likeness is featured alongside Amelia and (formerly) Xavier on a set of statues on Home Island. It looks like we’ll finally get to learn the identity of this studious sorceress. 🧙‍♀️📚

Five new furnishings have graced the clubhouse store! Players can decorate their virtual homes with a Poptropica flag (100 credits), a set of lighting panels (75 credits), a summer wreath (150 credits), and an oil diffuser (100 credits). Meanwhile, members can make their clubhouses extra colorful with the LED fan (150 credits). Here’s a picture I took of the new items in my clubhouse.

A new video showed up on the official Poptropica TikTok account, but it also made an appearance in Pop’s latest Instagram story. This new video highlights some of the more problematic elements of our favorite villains, particularly the fact that they all share kidnapping tendencies. Here are a few stills as an example.

Last and certainly not least, Golden Wolf returned to the Creators’ Blog to share more of her art. In her latest guest post, GW showcased fan art of myself, PHB founder Slanted Fish, and fellow writer Smart Icicle! Thank you so much, Golden Wolf! ❤️🥰❤️🥰

GW also mentioned that, every month, she will draw an anime character as a Poptropican and share it on her future guest posts. As an example, she drew Sakura Haruno from Naruto, which was featured in Poptropica’s July Costume Contest video compilation. Which anime character do you want to see drawn in the Poptropica style?

That’s all I have for you today. What do you think the new mini quest will be about? Which villains should be called out next? Let us know in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Poppin’ names and Cinder frames

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, we’ve got name-matching and princess simping coming from the Creators today. Let’s pop into it!

Over on the official blog, the Pop Creators have posted a name chart challenging Poptropicans like you to discover your alternate Poptropica alias using the first letter of your name (whether made-up or IRL) along with your (or your Pop alter ego’s) favorite color. 🔠🖍

Nice to meet you, I’m… Outside Sock. Great. Think I’ll stick with my Poptropican’s real name, Friendly Fish! What about you?

In their blog post, the Creators also share about how all Poptropicans are united through our little origin story: every player starts out with the name Hamburger Hamburger before getting their own personalized nickname through the friends profile. (What they don’t mention is how it was voted the “Ickiest Poptropican Name” in the Poppies!) 🍔🍔

Speaking of name combos, you might also enjoy the PHB’s list of Poptropica Names which you can find under our Pop Plus collection in the site menu above. As they say, a good name is greater than gold.

Names

In other news, Poptropica put out a smoldering new tweet, perhaps best explained by a meta-meme…

no one:
ok, maybe a few simps:
the Poptropica Creators:

We do have to admit Cinder is an absolute queen. But this may be the first time we’ve seen a whole shrine dedicated to this Fairytale Island rock star. Regardless, when it comes to lifting a lady, we’d do it for her. 🔥

Anyway, that concludes this post! Keep on popping on, Poptropicans. ✌️

Bonus Items, Monthly Costume Contests, Social Media

Ice cream cat, how about that? 🍦🐈

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, are you ready for costumes galore?? 👗

The Pop Creators received tons fantastic entries for July’s monthly costume contest — 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. 🍦🐈 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. ✌️✨

The Creators put out one last call for submissions to Poptropica’s first Coloring Creations Challenge! Artists, you have until tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern / 8 p.m. Pacific to submit your inked drawings through Poptropica’s submissions page. Hurry for a chance to have your art featured in an official fan-driven coloring book!

To wrap things up, let’s look at Poptropica’s latest batch of Instagram stories. We have artwork starring classic characters and unique OCs, some colored in coloring pages, and even some Poppies posts! Check out our Poppies recap if you want to see the winners.

The Creators also left a reminder for players to login today as part of the ongoing 10 Day Login Challenge. If you have logged in to Poptropica everyday since July 21st, you’re still in the running to earn 5,000 credits at the end of July! Just login everyday until July 30th to receive your reward.
