Whether it’s the PHB or Poptropica.com, these websites get updated from time to time, and these posts are here to document those developments.

Smashing Success

Slanted Fish

Hey PHB readers! Just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to come to the Poptropica Help Blog, as we have just hit 4.8 million pageviews (and hopefully reach 5 million by summer)!

Last night’s PHB Author Night [2] was a smashing success, and although I was not available, those in attendance can probably attest to having a great time chatting with PHB authors and other fellow readers! If you would like to be a part of a Poptropica chat community, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) is a friendly place and an affiliate of ours. The next Author Night will be here before we know it, and hopefully continues to become a successful event!

See the champion, my friend.

The Poptropica Creators have a new post on their blog about the Daily Pop game leaderboards for the ‘brick-obliterating’ “Smashing.” Captain Crawfish admits he’s not doing quite as well the current top champion, Grumpy Lightning with his score of 1,199,000. Nice job!

The PHB probably won’t be posting this kind of post (Daily Pop game scores) much, since it isn’t really considered news that most people would prefer to see, but if you’re interested: it’s a reminder that scores reset at the beginning of the month, so you’d better get “smashing” if you want to beat that high score!

[Update] Game for another SMASH HIT? The Flamin’ Skulls Poptropica band is out with a new song – “Drawn This Way,” a parody of Lady Gaga’s new hit ‘Born This Way,’ written by FS fan Scootdaloop188! And this one’s about sketchydoodley (okay that’s not a word xD) Wimpy Wonderland!

Walkthroughs for wimps

Slanted Fish

Okay, so you’re stuck on Poptropica’s Wimpy Wonderland, which just came out for non-members this Thursday (thank you 20th Century Fox!). Call yourself a wimp for trying to look up the cheats to this island quest, but that’s completely okay with us. In fact, we’ve got just what you need.

  • Wimpy Wonderland resources are listed under our Island Help page
  • A written walkthrough by Fearless Cheetah is available if you click here
  • A video walkthrough by YouTuber Graser10 is available via this playlist on Poptropica Help Videos
  • A map of the island can help you find where you are and need to be!
  • We have a discussion page for Wimpy Wonderland if you have more specific questions or would like to help answer others!
I thought snowmen were supposed to have charcoal for eyes.

So just remember, it’s okay to look up a few things if you need to. You’ll find much more joy in being able to handle the game yourself, but if you’re not sure at some parts, you’re always welcome to use our resources. Have fun walking in the snow of Wimpy Wonderland, and best of luck with finding the missing Manny!

Did Someone Say… Gone?

Oh yes they did.

I bet all of you are wondering, “Where the cheese did the PHF go?” I’ll fill you in here. The Poptropica Help Forum was getting boring and not very interesting. So, Coderkid (or should I say, NeXXeuS?) deleted it. Bye-bye PHF. That’s where the fun part came in.

A few posts ago, Hicoga posted that the forums might become Kids Talk, and one part of that detail was right. The forums were going to become KidsTalk. However, it wasn’t KidsTalk….

It was DigiTalk. DigiTalk replaced the PHF, but to tell you the truth, it’s better. That’s coming from the 38th Member. 😉 And it’s FREE (of course it is, NeXXeuS isn’t that desperate. :D) If you still don’t believe me, here:

  • Joining gives you the ability to post and chat!
  • You get your own forum blog!
  • Get Achievements and Awards!
  • Join now and be known as one of the oldest members!

Trust me. It’s really fun too. Most of the members from the old PHF are there, including Xarr, MT, and Fearless Hero. The difference is that there is a different theme and more to the internet about it! Are you excited? Well, I think you would be, right? 😀 If so, run, don’t walk, to DigiTalk!

And if you do sign up… you can put me, iPrepKid, as your referrer. Enjoy the forums! 🙂

~iPrepKid (known as MagicShadow on the old forum) is out!
