Don’t you just love staring out the window?

Slanted Fish

Rich mansions out in the country? Only on Poptropica can you find these insanely huge houses adorned with an unnecessary large amount of windows. Check out this new update by Captain Crawfish of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog:

Takin’ it to the house

How many different ways can you imagine a big, fancy house in the country? If you were a Poptropica Creator, you’d have to imagine several. Yesterday we showed you one such sketch. Here’s another.

This isn’t even all of them! We’ll show you a couple more of these early designs as the week goes on.

Sounds like we’ll be able to look forward to more of these house sketches this week! In the meantime, check out our new Poptropica Creators’ Database – a collection of information about the team behind Poptropica – full names, aliases, pictures, and more. You can find it listed on the Cool Stuff page.

Also, any Poptropica fan is welcome to join our many networks listed on the PoptropicaHelp.net homepage if you haven’t already! We’ve got an amazing community at the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat), and great visual stuff at PHV (Poptropica Help Videos), just to name a few. Join us!

Cool Wing

Wheewhoot! I’m back from my vacation and had a mildly good time…. Knotts was amazing… I got some sketchbooks… And came home to a happy happy happy puppy dog. x3

(For anyone who gets the farewell message, kutos to you!)

Hobey ho, lets go.

Steamworks premiere party!

Poptropica Members have been having a blast on Steamworks Island. Besides trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the Island’s inhabitants, Poptropicans have also been spending a lot of time at the Steamworks Gear Shop — that’s this island’s common room.

It’s been fun to see Poptropica Members hanging out on a new Island, with all the zany combinations of costumes and items they can imagine. Check out this motley crew!


I dropped by, too, but nobody told me there was a dress code! I felt out of place not wearing a Mech Pilot costume.

Always a wallflower…

Keep an eye out for the Poptropica Creators in the Steamworks Island common room. Maybe we’ll see you there!

Yup, and maybe a Poptropica Creator will be nice enough to party with the PHB people. 🙂

Sprocket’s got Talent!

Green Boa

A lame joke and some half cyborg half poptropican dance is no match for Sprocket the Robot’s mighty capabilities. Can Binary Bard shoot his jester hat into the air? Pluck out one eyeball and use it to scan things? Even if Sprocket’s capabilities are far beyond that of Binary Bard’s, they are turning out to be great friends.

Will you join forces with Sprocket too?

Friday, August 6, 2010

I cut a rug. I boogied down. I busted a move. Yet my new robot friend was unimpressed. When I challenged him to show me something better, he paused for a moment. I could hear a whirring sound behind his eyes.

Then, a surprise!

This little fella apparently has a few tricks up its sleeve.

“What else can you do?” I asked, a little bit uncertain of whether I wanted to know the answer. The machine extended another appendage that had previously been hidden. It was beginning to remind me of a Swiss army knife.

I wasn’t quite sure what it was doing, but I knew it looked useful. “Say,” I said, an idea forming in my mind, “you wouldn’t want to come along with me on Steamworks Island, would you?”

He nodded his assent, and we were off on a great adventure!

Poptropica Members will be able to join Sprocket when Early Access to Steamworks Island begins on Thursday, August 12. Steamworks island will be open to all on September 9.

Hopefully BB won’t use Sprocket to pilliage, conquer, destroy, and steal a princess (Not again!) from Steamworks.  I wonder how these amazing actions will be used on the magnificent, mechanic, marvilous island of metal and miricles! (Maybe) Anyway, it’ll be fun to tag along with our favourite robot friend, (who’s not a barn owl from Astro Knights island, so no offence Merlin 😉 ) Sprocket. 😀
Da Ba of da Greeniness!
