A Wrinkle on Poptropica

LJ

Hello, everyone! Lucky Joker popping in to show you a pretty rad ad on Poptropica Original.

The temporary game this time around is a multistage game for the upcoming movie, A Wrinkle in Time — which is based on the 1962 fantasy novel from the Time Quintet series by Madeleine L’Engle.

Okay, enough for your history lesson. Let’s pop into it, shall we?

Go on in and speak to Mrs. Who. She’ll send us off on a quest that will help Meg save her father.

First, we need to find Mrs. Whatsit, who’s somewhere on the planet Uriel. This task can be easily accomplished.

Just run straight ahead to the right, and climb up the rope. Run to the left and jump up to the next level. Run to the right, jump up again, and then run to the left and… tada! You found her! Now it’s off to the dark planet, Camazotz.

Woah! Kids who are all bouncing their bouncy balls in unison! Isn’t that a spectacle?

Anyways, here, you need to trace the light to find Mrs. Which. This task is also a very simple one.

Just follow the orange light trails until you make your way to the top right corner of the scene. Congrats, you’re finished!

The two prizes you earn from completing the ad include a Mrs. Power card as well as your very own Teleporting Spectacles — epic!

A Wrinkle in Time hits the big screen, March 9th, in the US. Anyone plan on seeing it?

Well, that about wraps this post up. Thanks for reading, as always! Talk to you in the next one.

Greek Sea Odyssey Island, New Islands

An Odyssey Awaits!

Silver Wolf

Hiya, Silver Wolf here with news about a new island on Poptropica Worlds!

Only a day ago, Brave Tomato posted a trailer for an upcoming island, Greek Sea Odyssey, and it’s already here! It came out on mobile that same day, but now it’s available on both the app and browser, so you can play at home or on the go.

worlds greek sea

Right now it’s in early access for members only, so if you don’t have a membership you’ll have to wait a little longer to play.

Odyssey

So what is Greek Sea Odyssey about? Well, when you drop off the blimp, the first person you meet is Georgios, who explains that people are trying to build a city ruled by its citizens (or a democracy, as your Poptropican points out), but Zeus, ruler of all the Greek gods, keeps interfering. That’s not that unexpected; I mean, Zeus wants to rule all of Poptropica, after all.

The island seems to be a continuation of Mythology Island on Poptropica Original, with all the gods having left Olympus except for Zeus. Athena asks for your help to overthrow him, but in order to do so, you need to — guess what — go on an odyssey across the sea and gather sacred artifacts. Will you topple the great god of Zeus, or will you fall to his wrath? And what do these sacred artifacts include?

I don’t want to go too much into detail because of spoilers, but if you really are dying to find out what happens or need help on a section of the island, you can check out our island guide. 😉

Update: There are also Greek Sea Odyssey costumes in the store, including two members only costumes and two costumes for everyone.

From left to right, we have: a generic Greek female costume, the queen Hera, a skeleton, and emo Icarus—my personal favorite character. It’s pretty cool that you can be actual Greek Sea Odyssey characters, and that there’s something for everyone!

What do you think of this island concept? Is it too similar to the classic Mythology Island or do you like the idea of a sort of sequel? And which costumes do you like? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

New Pop Worlds Adventure Trailer! — A storm is coming…

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, my name is Brave Tomato, and I have arisen from the dead yet again to bring you some very exciting news: for the first time in 4 months (7 months if you’re counting solely full islands), a new adventure on Poptropica Worlds is ahead of us.

Guess what, everyone? As the title says: a storm is coming. The trailer for this new adventure had just dropped, so Poptropicans all around the world, brace yourselves, for Greek Sea Odyssey.

Now, from all two of the preview images that we had gotten so far, we knew that a form of Mythology Island was coming, but it was up in the air as to what form it would be in. The trailer, and its YouTube description, seems to imply that this is an entirely new storyline to possibly conclude Zeus’s now three-island arc. Then again, I could be wrong on that assumption. Speaking of the description, here it is!

Set sail on the newest adventure in Poptropica Worlds: Greek Sea Odyssey! Travel through Ancient Greece and beyond in search of the items that will allow you to topple Zeus once and for all!

If I have to guess how this island is going to go beyond “oh no, Zeus is wreaking havoc“, this island seems to be focusing more on a traveling direction, on dare I say, an odyssey. I have a feeling that there will be a series of lands with challenges, each relating to an item that will help in your battle against Zeus. This would likely therefore have somewhat of a Skullduggery Island kind of feel to it, and since one of the most famous stories from Greek Mythology is Homer’s The Odyssey, it would make perfect sense.

Then again, this could also be simply a fresh coat of paint on the story we already know from Mythology Island. Only time will tell on which direction this will go.

As a side note, Zeus has gotten a bit of a design revamp. Alongside his new wardrobe, he’s also looking more disheveled than before:

Whether this is a simple redesigning choice or this appearance was a consequence of being locked up in a sleep chamber for 5 years, this… will take some getting used to for me.

There’s no release date yet, so the most we can do is sit back and see what happens! I know that I’m excited—after all, Mythology Island was my favorite Island.

Where do you think this will go? Are you excited to finally get something out of the Creators? What about dealing with Zeus… yet again? Make sure to keep posted to the Poptropica Help Blog for more updates, and don’t be afraid to comment!

Down below are four pairs of Poptropica images, and each pair contains ten differences. Some differences may be obvious and easy to spot, while others may be more obscure — so look carefully! Let’s see how many you can find… Good luck!

1) Harbor Prison Hunt

So how many could you find?

Send in your answers to [email protected] or in a private message to me, Lucky Joker, on Discord, because the first person to correctly spot all forty differences (ten in each) will receive a 3-month membership — it costs you nothing (except the time you’ll spend looking for the differences 😉 )! Two runner-ups will also each receive a 1-month membership, courtesy of the Poptropica Creators.

By the way, don’t be afraid to utilize the comments section to help each other out. But note that you’ll need to contact me personally in order to be eligible for prizes.
