Virus Hunter Island – Page 3 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Although Virus Hunter Island was initially released without a members’ bonus quest, one is on its way! It will be ready on September 26, when the island is released to the public. This heartworming (not to be confused with heartwarming) sneak peek might whet your appetite:

Members can also collect their free X-ray Visor from the Virus Hunter vending machine this week. Pressing space bar while wearing it lets you see people’s skeletons, quite like the Skeleton Power in the Store. The Scifi Doctor is no longer available.

There’s two new mini-ads on Back Lot Island: (1) a cart advertising Poptropica: Forgotten Islands (the iOS game, which we have a PHB walkthrough for), and (2) a video trailer for Liv and Maddie, premiering Sunday, September 15 at 8p/7c on Disney Channel. Watching the video gets you the Liv and Maddie Twin Power, where a clone of your character follows you around! (Thanks, ayman351!)

Also, remember the personalized Poptropica clothing you can buy online from the Poptropica Shop? It now comes in adult sizes as well, so even in the bigger players can wear them!

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to be awesome!

Scifi Doctor costume & Forgotten Islands (iOS) Guide

September 8, 2013September 18, 2013 Slanted Fish

Hey virus hunters! There’s a new free prize available for everyone on the vending machine on Virus Hunter Island’s Main Street – a Scifi Doctor costume. Last week’s Hazmat Suit is now sold out.

Next week’s costume, available starting on the 12th, looks like a helmet that will be for members only. The week after that (Sept 19th) will have a final mystery prize for everyone, so be sure to check back! Virus Hunter Island releases to all on September 26, 2013.

As you may have seen, the new iOS game Poptropica: Forgotten Islands is now available in the iTunes App Store for US$4.99! The PHB has a full walkthrough complete with pictures available, so if you need help or if you just want to see for yourself what the game is like, please check it out!

Personally, I thought the actions were a bit repetitive, mostly fetch quests with the item you needed lying in plain sight, so the game wasn’t very challenging. The story, which involves finding lost artifacts to uncover Poptropica’s past, wasn’t too bad. No Monster Carnival, sadly (even though this is the one forgotten island we all want to know about!).

Have you played the game yet? Tell us what you think in the comments section!

Checking on those Contagious Predictions

September 4, 2013September 4, 2013 AW

I don’t know how many of you remember my earlier post called A Contagious Prediction. But I did make some very observant (if I may say so myself) observations about what Poptropica’s newest island (Virus Hunter) would be like. Let’s take a look at what I thought.

There is a man named Joe Stockman
Joe lives on Virus Hunter Island (the cards say so)
He won a trip abroad (travel rating card) and (You Won! envelope)
On his trip abroad, he acquired a foreign disease
It is our job to cure that disease
The common room could be Bob’s Place Barbeque (coupon)
Lastly, maybe the disease isn’t a real disease… what if it’s… nanobots?

I also mentioned that Green Square is a reference to RedBox but that has nothing to do with it. And I said that the Daily Pop sneak peek of a home was Joe’s home, which it could be, but was never incorporated into the island.

Heres where I was right.

Joe Stockman is in fact Patient Zero, the man who acquired a disease on his trip abroad.
And yes, it is our job to cure the disease (by zooming around his body like we’re Captain Kirk)

Here’s where I was wrong.

The common room was not, in fact, Bob’s Place Barbeque. It was a town hall.
And the virus was just a deadly plague, not robotic of any kind.

VH21

In an even earlier post I mentioned the lockers found in the apartment with the names of the Creators on them.

It turns out that was incorporated into the island.

So that’s it. Remember, this was back in April, so good job, me!

Grooving to Poptropica music – not just on Virus Hunter Island

September 1, 2013April 6, 2022 Slanted Fish

Need a little help taking down those big bad viruses? The PHB’s Virus Hunter Island Guide, written by Samwow5 and complete with pictures, is available on our site!

Virus Hunter Island is the second to be released with music, sound effects, and a bigger screen (after 24 Carrot, which everyone can now play with the new features). While poking around, I found the man behind the music – Jeff Heim, Poptropica’s music composer, has been busy making music for Poptropica and has even posted some samples on Soundcloud (I hope there’s more to come!):

We’ve heard some of these tracks on 24 Carrot Island, but there’s a few in the mix that suggest Twisted Thicket will be the next to get an upgrade. Also, could the “Carnival Ride” track be an indicator for Monster Carnival Island? Either way, this new music sounds pretty awesome!

Lastly, if you’re having trouble getting scenes to load on Virus Hunter Island, the Creators suggest that you use a different web browser. (They also have more tips for using the new navigation on their blog.)

What’s your favorite Poptropica music track so far?

However, non-members aren’t missing out entirely – everyone can get this hazmat suit:

There will be a new prize every week during Early Access. Anyways, I finished Virus Hunter and I saw what was the long wait about. It was very cool! And now, since they have a player map and stuff, I can see my ranking!
