🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Hey, Poptropicans! The Creators suddenly announced a brand new mini quest coming soon to Poptropica.

Go crazy for the Candy Crazed Mini Quest! Here’s a sweet peek at the upcoming quest which supposedly ties into Fairytale Island:

The announcement also revealed two new characters who will be making their debut in this quest. Meet chewy chums Dot and Gummy! While they may not be major characters in the story, they are cute faces who help liven the sugary atmosphere. Who wants one of these guys as a follower?

It’s strange that a new mini quest was announced just one week after the release of the Lost Cubs Mini Quest. The promo art is super cute and colorful, but how will the finished product play out? Will it be a sweet surprise or a terrible toothache? We will find out for ourselves when this mini quest comes out next week on Thursday, May 27!

The Creators’ Blog also put out another call for guest writers. Do you love Poptropica and want to share your love with other fans? This time, the Creators are allowing guest writers to submit more than just their writing. Guests can also submit their fan art and fan videos, too!

If you are at least 13 years old, feel free to apply through Pop’s official Submissions page. Let the Creators know what you can contribute to the official Poptropica Creators’ Blog. You can submit anything as long as it relates to Poptropica.

If writing for the Creators’ Blog isn’t your thing, then you could submit a guest post to us here at the Poptropica Help Blog! There’s no age limit for writers, and your work will reach a similar audience of Poptropica players. You can learn more by visiting our Write for the PHB page.

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Think this music has a nice Ring to it 🎶

May 19, 2021July 17, 2024 Slanted Fish

What’s that melodious music playing throughout our island adventures? That’s the topic of the latest guest post on the Creators’ Blog, brought to you by one not-so-unseen Invisible Ring.

As Ring shares, you can find a huge library of Poptropica music freely available on composer Jeff Heim’s Soundcloud playlist. Give it a listen:

Here on the PHB, we’ve been fans of Jeff Heim’s popping tunes for quite some time. PHB readers even voted his Monster Carnival Main Theme for Best Soundtrack in our first ever Poppies fan awards event back in 2015, plus Jeff Heim was the first Pop Creator to ever comment on the PHB in all its years of existence. Lots of love to our man Jeff! 💙

Anyway, back to the guest post. Ring writes, “I used to revisit Mystery of the Map, Monkey Wrench, and other islands again and again just to hear those sweet sounds!” Though most of the islands are now gone until further notice, Heim’s Soundcloud preserves much of their musical memory. (And there’s more on the PHB’s Music page, too!)

You might also recognize this karaoke party scene from Invisible Ring’s Party Clubhouse Tour she shared on the PHB a while back. In case you missed it, she’s also shared a castle and regular room from her clubhouse. Incredibly, a fourth one is on its way, so stay tuned for that!

On the same day, the Creators’ Blog also dropped a sentimental post for Thinknoodles, the longtime Poptropica YouTuber, and his recent release of an OG-style Fairytale Island playthrough. The PHB covered this a few days ago, but in case you missed it, check out the vid below:

It’s a little amusing to see the Creators gushing so hard with sentences like, “Please tell us we’re not the only ones that are starstruck! 🤩” One might wonder how this could possibly be the same Creators team who just last week forgot about Betty Jetty, an iconic villain from Super Power Island. Are they compensating? 😉

But the praises for Thinknoodles also offer some hope that perhaps there are still some OG Pop Creators around who understand what made the game so special, which has been a concern among the fandom particularly since the involuntary exodus of several talented Creators in 2018 and the questionable direction of the game ever since.

And yet, our unnamed blogger from Pop HQ boldly claims, “…to think the best is still yet to come! 🥺💙”

We certainly hope so, Poptropica.

Clubhouse, Pets, Store

Ride the Hawk Wings before the sunset 🌅

May 18, 2021 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, it’s the start of a new week, which means another store update on Poptropica! Let’s pop in for a peek. 👀

Over in the costumes section, there’s a new casual outfit: the Sunset Tee! Also, though these have been around for a while, the Creators’ Blog recap of this week’s update highlighted the elegant Prom Princess and Prom Party looks in time for prom season. Promtropica party time?

As for the other costumes, they’ll probably look familiar if you’ve been playing Pop for a while. Even some older costumes have made a comeback, like the Baseball Uniform and Lightning Knight!

Not covered in the Creators’ update are some new styles for pets. Most notably, there’s a cool set of The Hawk Wings for members’ pets. For non-members, you can pick up a simple yet chic Halter Neck Dress for your little one or some of the other fashions from before.

But wait, there’s more! The clubhouse store also rotated its stock, with a few shiny new things among them — including a Brilliant Baby Dr. Hare poster, glowing little bunny lamp, and desk lamp for members.

Don’t worry, there’s quite a bit for non-members too. Here, browse the entire store down below and see how it compares with last month’s:

And if you’re needing credits to fund this shopping spree, be sure to check out the Lost Cubs Mini Quest released last week! 🐻 You can replay this quick game to get 50 credits for each subsequent run-through.

Last but not least, remember that the Fairytale Fanfic Challenge is open until this Friday at 8 pm PST! Take that bundle of straw of an ending that the Creators left us with, and turn it into a pile of literary gold à la Rumpelstiltskin. Plus, consider sharing your story with the PHB! ✏️

Didn’t like that Cinder ended up with the Huntsman? Here’s an explosive idea: ship her with Red instead! 🔥 You can write anything you dream of…

Keep on popping on, Poptropicans!

Clubhouse Tour: Golden Crown

May 17, 2021May 18, 2021 LJ

Howdy Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Golden Crown. Enjoy!

Hey, Poptropicans! Golden Crown here, showing off my clubhouse in my first ever guest post on the PHB! I’ve been playing Poptropica for a while now, but since I’ve started following the PHB and joined the PHC, I decided that I would completely redo my clubhouse. I hope you enjoy it!

When you first enter, you can see my wonderful unicorn banner hanging above the doorway. I got it from Pegasaia, a land full of strange mythical creatures and whatnot.

Now, to the left is the room I’m most proud of — the artifacts room! I have an ice dragon statue, the lunar dreamcatcher, a lantern I use when I’m in dark places, and, my personal favorite, a crystal skull! This artifact is my absolute favorite because it represents my tribe (the Pathfinders). You can find it in the Pathfinders common room!

Ok, here’s my living room, where I unwind and stuff! I mean, mostly I eat snacks and play on my phone, but ya know. Anyway, to the left of the couch is my favorite table with a “priceless” gold pineapple (I got it from a garage sale). I also have some plants growing in here, and it really makes the room feel more homey.

Here is my music room! I mostly have dance parties in here and I also just like to hear myself sing, so yeah! There’s also two of my favorite types of tree here — palm trees! From here, you can see a sign that says “Keepeth Out.” You see it, right? Well, I mean it! Don’t go snooping in my bedroom! Okay fine, I’ll let you see it, but only for a little bit. That is my private place!

Well, not much to see here. Just a bed, a vanity set, and a little hanging decoration. Please don’t tell anyone that I still play with toy plushies! I’ll be ruined! You promise not to tell? Ok, next room.

Here is my favorite room — my study! I read, write, and of course, study here! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I am a big fan of books, adventure, problem solving, music, and so much more! But I don’t think I have the time to name everything I like. Next room!

Here’s the last room! This is my pets’ room. 🐱🐶 I have a dog named Axel and a cat named Violet. I’m more of a cat person than a dog person (don’t tell Axel), but I love them equally. They each have their own house and something to fidget and have fun with. I spoil them, I know, but I need something to keep them out of my fur… er, hair… while I’m working. Axel, come back! Don’t hide in that dog house! What about you, Violet? I know that you’ll stay. Who’s a good girl?

Well, I hope you enjoyed this Clubhouse Tour! While I’m not a member, I fully intend to keep moving forward with my Poptropica journey! Tell me what you think of my house in the comments, and have a great day, Poptropicans!

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Golden Crown. If you did, you might also enjoy other clubhouse tours we’ve featured. Consider sharing yours, too!
