🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Howdy, Poptropicans! It’s been a good minute since we threw our last party. With all of our new visitors who only discovered the PHB this past year, it feels like the right time for another one. So, to welcome our new friends, this Saturday we’re having a PHC Open House Party! 🎉

In case you’re not familiar, the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC) is the PHB’s Discord server, a hangout place to chat with other Poptropicans, including PHB staff! Catch up on the basics in our Pop Protip post about the PHC, and join the server anytime through the Discord link under the Community tab on the menu or the Discord social icon at the top. 👽

Here are all the deets you need to know about Saturday’s shindig:

😄 WHO: Everyone’s invited! Some PHB staff will be there too!
🕐 WHEN: Saturday, April 24 @ 1 pm Eastern / 12 pm Central / 11 am Mountain / 10 am Pacific. If you’re in another time zone, use this converter to see what time it’ll be where you live. It may be evening or even Sunday morning, April 25, in some parts of the world.
🌎 WHERE: In Maury’s Museum of World Records (the common room on Timmy Failure Island) and on our Discord server, the PHC (age 13+ only) — a safe chat space where PHB staff and other Poptropicans regularly hang out.
👋 WHY: To have fun and welcome our newer PHB readers!
👑 DRESS CODE: Fairytale themed! (not required, just for fun)

We hope you’re excited and able to make it to our very first party of 2021. Can’t wait see you all there! 🥳

Clubhouse Tour: Shy Popper 🏡

April 19, 2021April 17, 2021 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by White Fox. Enjoy!

Hi Poptropicans! Today, I’m going to do another clubhouse tour. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: “Jeez, lady! How many clubhouses do ya have?!” Not to worry — I’m not going to do one of mine this time.

My friend, Shy Popper, AKA Silver Raptor, AKA The Popping Poptropican, AKA The Gamer Gal, AKA 6 other entry names she wanted me to write, asked me to do a clubhouse tour for her. Here goes!

Here I am at her house! This is where her pets live. She has every single pet in the shop, so it gets kind of cramped in there. 😂 It also serves as a yoga space. Just above is her beach area, where she can relax on a chilly day, while still sitting in the sun!

To the left is another room. Apparently, she just likes to watch the fire and look at dinosaurs. Did I mention she’s obsessed with dinosaurs? Above are her plants, and a green balloon. Don’t ask me why that’s there. I have no clue.

Next up is Shy Popper’s bedroom. As you can see, it’s pretty crowded here. There’s the bed, with a little stuffed penguin sitting there to comfort her. The chocolate fountain, the pom-pom wreath, the LED flamingo, and the TV surround this area. Off to the left is the hoop she uses to practice for the Ephraim University basketball team. There is also a tiny blimp, a popsicle poster, and a gamer sign.

And finally, we see Shy Popper herself up in her recording studio, where she plays her guitar and sings for all Poptropicans on the channel Pop-Tube (that doesn’t actually exist; don’t try to search it up). A little farther down, her magic area. A phoenix and crystal ball sits here, plus some LED moon… I have no idea why that is there.

Well, there it is! I hope you enjoyed seeing Shy Popper’s clubhouse! If you want to check out the space for yourself, her username is babysharkdododo#1 — add her as a friend!

Peace,
White Fox
