The Creators put out one last call for submissions to Poptropica’s first Coloring Creations Challenge! Artists, you have until tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern / 8 p.m. Pacific to submit your inked drawings through Poptropica’s submissions page. Hurry for a chance to have your art featured in an official fan-driven coloring book!

The Creators also took the time to confirm that Time Tangled Island is now available to all players. We appreciate the update, Creators, but you were a bit too slow on the draw. You’re no match for Neat Peanut and the Poptropica Help Blog! 😜

Finest Piece of Pop Merch Review: Time Tangled Wall Clock ⏱🗽

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dangerous Dragon, originally published on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. Plus, the item being reviewed was just named the “Finest Piece of Merch” in the 2021 Poppies. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans, DD here! I was invited by the PHB to do a merch review, and since they had a gift card from the Pop Creators, they sent me a free Time Tangled wall clock. I just want to say thank you!

The clock is available for US$32.95 on Poptropica’s Zazzle shop and matches the time device on Time Tangled Island.

  • Time device on Time Tangled Island in Poptropica
  • Time device IRL!

The clock arrived in a parcel and was covered with plastic covering to keep it protected. Looks pretty sweet!

After you’ve gazed at the beautiful clock, you need to get it working. To do that, add an AA battery to the back of the clock. That should get the clock ticking away! You can also adjust the clock hands from the back so that it shows your local time.

  • Admiring it after opening the package
  • Adjust the time by rotating the wheel on the back

Now to display the clock, you just need to get a nail and use it to hang the clock on the wall. There’s your Time Tangled clock!

On the wall

A couple of comments: I think there could be numbers on the clock, since it lacks that. Also, it might be better with a protective covering around the clock so that it doesn’t get dusty.

Overall, it is stylish! That’s the end of this review. Look forward to more merch reviews on the PHB, and be sure to check out Smart Icicle’s Blog where I also write. Bye friends!

Keep Poppin,
DD 💜
