Over on the Daily Pop, we’re seeing some sneak peeks of nature! Not sure what all these trees and huts are about just yet, but at least one of these pictures seems to be for the next Poptropica graphic novel. Plus, it looks like the Home Island revamp mentioned earlier is getting more polished, with a shop building on a ship! (For more, check out our Daily Pop Sneak Peeks Archive!)

Hungry for some Poptropica cake? (Sorry, we’re out of crawfish today.) Check out this sweet confection that popped right out of the oven known as Poptropica’s Twitter:

By the way, the Poptropica Help subreddit is always looking for fresh new posts, so pop on over! Promote your Poptropica fansite! Post your Poptropica artwork! Comment on what others are sharing! It’s a fantastic little platform for whatever you make it to be! 😀

Through Twitter and the Viewing Glass…

Hey, guys! Slip here. Get the pun? It’s time for a new post!

There’s a new ViewMaster advertisement in Poptropica Main Streets! It previously appeared on the mobile app then, online—don’t worry, both of the ads aren’t the same. They have different prizes for players, so let’s take a look!

The ViewMaster ad features an advertisement room where you can enter and get your prizes. Simply go in and you’ll find yourself inside a place similar to a planetarium.

Now, follow the blue arrows pointing up. It’ll lead you to the first prize: the 360 Teleporter Power. When you’re using this power, your player wears the ViewMaster and travels through several different Poptropica islands, without leaving the room! (Challenge: If you can name all of the islands, you’re awesome!)

To get to the next prize, you can go to the far right of the room until you come across some asteroids and a UFO. There you’ll receive your next prize: the Island Warper Power! With this power, you will warp to an island—like Night Watch or Wild West—you’ll stay for a while and warp back to the place you’re at. Seems fun, right?

Wait, there’s more! You can even try answering the quiz about animals or even try watching their advertisement on the giant ViewMaster in the middle.

If you have nothing left to do, you can exit the advertisement through the rocket at the end. 🙂

On the other hand, there are some new Twitter tidbits from Poptropica!

Poptropica shared this vine featuring the animation of the Monster Duck Hunt Carnie. Really scary monster. (Need any help with Monster Carnival? Click here!)

Poptropica also shared a photo of their bookshelf at the Poptropica HQ! See any familiar books? Do you have some of them? Comment it down below!

Last but never the least, Poptropica also posted this photo with the hashtags: #truth and #Poptropica. Do you agree with this?

And that’s all of the news and things you need to know! Did you miss me? I hope you did! Did you enjoy this post? Don’t forget to leave a comment!

I’m back!

Hi Gs,

For those who don’t know, I left the blog yesterday – completely personal reasons. This doesn’t matter, though: I’m back. 😀

I’d rather not go into the details of my rash decision, it was done out of anger, and I’ve reconsidered since then.

Look forward to a new post series soon. 😀

TAFN.

PHB Possibility Survey!

Hi Gs,

Quick post to let you know that I just recently launched a survey for you, the readers of the PHB, about a possible endeavor. If you can take the time to fill it out, it would be super cool – it’ll only take about a minute. Help shape the future of the PHB!

Click here to take the survey!

Update: HERE’S A FOLLOW-UP IN WHICH THE MAJORITY OF YOU GUYS FREAKED OUT ABOUT THIS POSSIBILITY. (Please take the poll before reading this!)

Here’s what I have to say about this possibility to clear some things up-

  • This event will probably take place in north NC.
  • It will happen sometime next year.
  • If it is a success, we will probably have more of them in other areas of the world.

This is all in the preliminary stages, so don’t jump to any conclusions. We want to make this awesome as we possibly can – so stay tuned!

TAFN.

Your Move, Poptropica Wiki

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here to bring you some BIG news about the Poptropica Wiki! If you’ve never heard of the wiki, here’s a little definition. The Poptropica Wiki is basically an online encyclopedia for anything Poptropica related that is editable by any user. The wiki, of which I am the head of, partnered with the PHB earlier this year, which is why I am here! 😀

PoptropicaWikiOnGamepedia

Alright, now that you know a little about the Poptropica Wiki, here’s the news. Some of you may know about our mission to Officialize Poptropica Wiki or basically have the Creators endorse the wiki and help us out being sure that pages are all correct. You may also know that Poptropica Wiki is hosted on the site Wikia (similar to how the PHB is hosted on WordPress). Well, a few admins over on the wiki have talked about moving our site from Wikia to Gamepedia. There’s multiple reasons for this move, but the main reason is one involving the officialization of the wiki.

Gamepedia (like Wikia) hosts multiple wikis (online encyclopedias for a topic that are editable by anyone), but on Gamepedia the majority of the wikis hosted are made official wikis by the creators of the games these wikis are made about. This would mean we have a good chance of being officialized. In fact, a community manager at Gamepedia (in our accepted request to be moved to Gamepedia) mentioned that they’d be willing to help us in our quest for officialization!

Anyways, all of this is to say that if you’d like to edit, visit our new Wiki link:
