Contests, PHB Parties

๐ŸŽ† The PHB Tribal Tournament 2024 Closing Ceremony ๐ŸŽ†

Greetings Poptropi-lympians! The Sensational Scavenger Hunt is now closed (although the Gifted Gladiators event is still open until the end of August 29!) And that means the tournament is coming to an end. You’ve all been hard at work trying to lead your teams to victory, so we thought you deserved a celebration at our Closing Ceremony!

The overall results of the games will be announced live on our Discord server, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) before being posted here on the blog.

In addition to the final scores being announced, plenty of fellow Poptropicans and some PHB authors will be chatting and partying it up in the Midas’ Gym common room on Mythology Island (if Poptropica decides not to crash). So, if you’re not already in the chat, you’ll definitely want to join so you don’t miss out!

Our event will take place onย Saturday, August 31ย @7pm Easternย /ย 6pm Centralย /ย 5pm Mountainย /ย 4pm Pacificย (for all other time zones,ย check a time zone converter). In some parts of the world, it may be Sunday morning, September 1.ย  Hope you’re excited! See you there.

๐Ÿ”Ž The Sensational Scavenger Hunt: PHB Tribal Tournament 2024 ๐Ÿ”ฆ

Welcome back once again, Poptropicans, it’s time for the third and final round of the 2024 Tribal Tournament! (If you’ve been under a rock for the past few weeks and have no clue what we’re talking about, check out our previous posts, rounds 1 & 2.) Remember: Although the Brawny Brainiacs Bout is over, the first roundโ€”Gifted Gladiatorsโ€”is open for the remainder of the tournament, so don’t hesitate to start creating now!

I now present the โœจ Sensational Scavenger Hunt! โœจ

In this competitive game, you and your team will follow clues, hidden on different pages all over the blog, by answering questions relating to Poptropica.

Here’s how this works: Below, you’ll find your first clue that will hint to any given page here on the blog where the next clue is located. (For exampleโ€”“A list of many themes and scores enhances islands even more”โ€”would probably lead to the Pop Music page, where you’d find the next clue.) The clue could be anywhere on a page, so you might want to scroll through its entirety to find it.

There are a total of 10 clues you will need to decipher in order to complete this round. The first team to find the last clue and reach “the finish line” will earn 80 points. Second place will earn 70 points, third will get 60, and so forth. If any team doesn’t start the race at all, they won’t receive any points.

Unlike last time, this round will be a collaborative effort that will hopefully bring you and your tribemates closer together. We recommend discussing the clues in your designated tribe channel on the Poptropica Help Chat and to avoid talking about the clues in the comments section as to not ruin the purpose of the race.

Rules: You must go through all of the clues in order to finish the game. If you just so happen to stumble upon the finish line or any clue ahead of the position of where you actually stand in the game, then it will not count unless you have proof that you found the answers for the previous clue(s). We’ll need screenshots of all 10 clues and the finish line for you to earn points.

Without further ado, here is the first clue:

This round ends when all of the tribes finish

โœจ Good luck y’all! And have fun! โœจ

Funktropica – Poptropica Mod for Friday Night Funkin’ โฌ†๏ธ๐ŸŽตโฌ‡๏ธ

Hey Poptropicans! Any rhythm game players in the house?

Discover Funktropica โ€” a Poptropica mod for the popular musical rhythm game Friday Night Funkin’ (FnF)! Check out the gameplay:

In Friday Night Funkin’ (download here), you use the arrow keys to hit the right keys as they come up on screen. A similar game mechanism has even been seen in some of Poptropica’s ad games. With FnF, the goal is for the main character, Boyfriend, to impress the ex-rockstar dad of his love interest by proving his power in music.

The Funktropica mod puts a Poptropica twist to FnF, giving Boyfriend a Poptropica makeover and facing him off against iconic Pop characters and backdrops: Betty Jetty in the sky, Dr. Hare in the carrot factory, Greg Heffley at the boardwalk, Binary Bard in his castle โ€” plus a few unknown Poptropicans, including a blank template one in Mocktropica.

Funktropica was developed by Eozchar, who writes in the mod description, “I’ve been doing this every summer since 2021, and honestly this skill I’ve learned has helped me greatly.” The first version, ‘Vs Poptropican’, launched in 2021, with yearly updates since, including the recent ‘Funktropica’ version released just this month.

The game’s music consists of several original electronic beats, including a remix of the Poptropica Overture soundtrack in the game menu. There’s even an impressive overworld with an island map taking you to the various scenes in Funktropica!

To play, you’ll need to download FnF first. Once you have FnF, you can then download Funktropica for some Poptropica rhythm jams. Enjoy!

No access to Poptropica accounts โš ๏ธ

UPDATE #3 โ€“ Aug 22: Poptropica accounts are back again.

UPDATE #2 โ€“ Aug 21: Poptropica accounts are down again.

UPDATE #1 โ€“ Aug 21: Poptropica accounts are BACK, one week after the issue first appeared! ๐Ÿ™Œ But saving outfits still does not work, which has been the case for some time now. The original news post is below.


GAME-BREAKING NEWS: Poptropica accounts are down.

Earlier this week, players across the Poptropica fandom, including on our Discord server, the PHC, began reporting that they could not log into their game accounts, hosted on Coolmath Games on both desktop and mobile. Attempts to log in only result an endless loading screen.

The loading screen players are stuck on when attempting to log in โ€” ironically reminding players to log in daily.

From this Reddit post, there are also reports of the paid Poptropica Steam bundle not loading. Fortunately, the would-be players were able to get refunded by Steam, but it’s still a massive loss for Pop playability.

You can still play Poptropica by selecting a new character, activating the usual Home Island quest. However, attempts to save the new account will only result in error, no matter what untaken username you try.

It’s been several days with this issue not resolving, with no sign of acknowledgement from Coolmath Games on socials, so it remains unclear if they are even aware or planning to address the situation.

As of now, besides starting afresh with an account that can’t be saved, it seems the only way to truly access Poptropica is through the unofficial Flashpoint curation. Find out more in our Old Islands Guide here!

There is a small hope for the fate of our accounts: according to a Reddit post from Pop player lexly1234, you can revive the old Avatar Studio with Ruffle, a Flash emulator, to check that your account still exists in the depths of Poptropica’s files. But while they may exist, we can’t login. ๐Ÿ˜”

Here’s hoping for an eventual fix. ๐Ÿคž But for now, if you’re looking for some Poptropica fun, check out our PHB Tribal Tournament (Poptropica Olympics!) going on throughout August. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ

And of course, continue to enjoy the game through Flashpoint!
