Bonus Items, Store

First Day of Spring, We’re Sneezing!

Hey guys, Slip here!

Spring has finally come, and Poptropica’s celebrating by giving us two free items— the Flower Power and the Sneezing Powder! Sorry for those who are living in the southern hemisphere, since you’re experiencing autumn right now.

The Flower Power has always been the star of the Spring season. Originally debuted on August 2009 and updated on May 2010, this item is pretty special. Not only does it work as a power where you can plant flowers, but it also works as a costume for your player! Now to spread that springtime cheer…

Moving on to the next free item: the Sneezing Powder! Originally released as a members-only prize in celebration of the release of Virus Hunter Island, this item is now free for all! When you press the spacebar, powder flies out into the distance, making you and the closest Poptropican next to you sneeze! Perfect for pranking friends! Let’s open the can to see what it’s made of — oh, pollen grains! Aaa… aaahhh-choo!

St. Patrick’s Day gifts – Leprechaun Follower and Costume!

Hi Gs,

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and Poptropica is recognizing this with a couple of free items – the Leprechaun Costume from the Store is free for today, and a new Leprechaun Follower which can only be obtained if you visit Mythology Island. Odd placement!

On the follower, it says to go the 24 Carrot Island diner, mix yellow and blue, and drink it to get green hair. It also has a button that allows you to travel to the diner.

For the costume, if you press space bar while wearing it, you’ll do a comical little Irish jig! Here’s a gif of Skinny Moon doing the dance.

It’s also notable that the post on the Creators’ Blog about these items is the first post by “Skinny Moon” (Jessica from social media). I’m excited to see future posts from her! 🙂

Update: In other news, Poptropica Realms is back! Bugs have been fixed, so the experience should be smoother. Check out our Realms Guide and get building!

Mixels II: The Merry Mixening

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another piece of Poptropica news.

Remember in one of my first PHB posts, whenever I covered an ad for the LEGO Mixels? Well, the ad has returned, in order to accommodate the 3 new tribes put into the waves! This includes the Munchos, the Glorp Corp and the Constructos! Note that it’s for boys only.

Upon entering the ad building, you’ll find yourself greeted by the Munchos leader, Snax. Walk to his right and you can collect the green Dribbal Follower –

– as well as the purple Snax Toss Power! (Thanks to Slippery Raptor for the gifs!)

Now that you’ve gotten your prizes, it’s time to head up top and collect your masks! There’s one for each Mixels tribe, and they’re only here for a limited time, so get them while they’re available!

In other news, four Christmas costumes are back in the Store! They are the Candy Cane, Snowman, Elf (red for girls, green for boys), and Holiday Ball (comes in red, green, and blue). The first two are 75 credits, while the latter two are free (unless you’re a member, in which case they’re all free).

They’re not new, but it’s been a while since they’ve appeared in the Store, so grab ’em if you like! (Thanks to Hyper Gamer and Daisy for the tip.)

Well, that’s all for now! Stay popping, Poptropicans, and look out for something big dropping from me and some other members of the PHB this holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving – with a helping of Poptropica scoops!

Hey Poptropicans! :mrgreen:

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we here at the PHB would like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving and thank you for being part of the Poptropica community! 😀 But there’s more than turkey on the platter today – check out the latest helping of Poptropica news below.

Along with the thankful festivities comes Black Friday, a day characterized by long lines and shopping deals – and according to this tweeted pic, it’s coming to Poptropica! What exactly that means remains to be seen. Deals on Pop merch, membership, or Store items bought with credits? We’ll find out soon!

To get a peek at what else is coming to Poptropica, check out the PHB’s Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive – just updated for the month of November! A few pics seem to indicate that some renovation is underway for Home Island’s Shop and – Adventurers’ Club? Could be the common room, which is currently different on mobile and online.

There’s also been some trickery going on with the Phantom gold card from the Store – the slider to adjust how transparent you appear recently made a subtle disappearance! Now there’s only one mid-range opacity level you can play with. Poof.

If you’ve logged into Poptropica recently, you may have seen a few new ads. There’s the SuperChargers ad mentioned in the last post, but it’s not the only one. On Mystery of the Map Island, watch the video for Disney Infinity 3.0 to get the Disney Infinity Gear!

Also, there’s a View Master ad on Timmy Failure Island with a room you can enter. Go in and claim your 360 Teleporter Power and Island Warper Power! Press space bar to activate their special effects. (Thanks to Hyper Gamer for the tip!)

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, Poptropicans! 🦃
Even if you’re not celebrating today – we’re thankful for you. 🙂
