First Day of Spring, We’re Sneezing!

Slippery Raptor

Hey guys, Slip here!

Spring has finally come, and Poptropica’s celebrating by giving us two free items— the Flower Power and the Sneezing Powder! Sorry for those who are living in the southern hemisphere, since you’re experiencing autumn right now.

The Flower Power has always been the star of the Spring season. Originally debuted on August 2009 and updated on May 2010, this item is pretty special. Not only does it work as a power where you can plant flowers, but it also works as a costume for your player! Now to spread that springtime cheer…

Moving on to the next free item: the Sneezing Powder! Originally released as a members-only prize in celebration of the release of Virus Hunter Island, this item is now free for all! When you press the spacebar, powder flies out into the distance, making you and the closest Poptropican next to you sneeze! Perfect for pranking friends! Let’s open the can to see what it’s made of — oh, pollen grains! Aaa… aaahhh-choo!

What do you think of these Spring gifts? Are they fun? Make sure to leave a comment below! Bye!

Blast from the Past

5 Years with UiPE – and a teaser!

Ultimate iPad Expert

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here! I usually make silly posts, like PMFM, but today I really want to reminisce.

5 Years ago today, I edited the Poptropica Wiki for the first time. I added the page “Anti-Power Handcuffs” to the wiki, adding simply the text “Anti-Power Handcuffs ar” onto the page. Oh little noobish me. 😛

Who knew that an 11 year-old kid using an anonymous wiki account could end up an author on the biggest Poptropica blog on the internet. Young me definitely wouldn’t have, I can tell you that. I don’t want to explain my whole journey to the PHB on here, since I already have, but I just can’t help but think about the good times.

Not only is this March my 5 year Poptropica community anniversary, but it’s my 1 year PHB anniversary. The first signs of contact between the Wiki and PHB staff began mid-March last year, eventually growing into me becoming an author. March 31, I’ll never forget. The email finally coming to me, the invitation to come here.

My life was forever changed from the moment I found the Poptropica Wiki. I’ve met so many amazing people from the Wiki, the PHC, and the PHB alike. I’ve created my own series now, here on the PHB, which a lot of people are seeming to enjoy. I really love making people laugh and making people just feel good in general.

I’ve spent the past 5 years now, trying to inform and entertain Poptropicans, and I really hope I will continue in that. Speaking of, you may have seen me dropping hints about an announcement this month, so without further ado… I’m going to tease you instead:

ItReturns-HypeImage

What could it mean? Hint: there is a hidden detail on that image, have fun finding it.

Well, this was kinda a short post, but I really wanted to kinda celebrate with you guys. This concludes my Quinquennial Poptropica Community Anniversary post. 😛

This is Ultimate iPad Expert signing off. See you guys next time.

St. Patrick’s Day gifts – Leprechaun Follower and Costume!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and Poptropica is recognizing this with a couple of free items – the Leprechaun Costume from the Store is free for today, and a new Leprechaun Follower which can only be obtained if you visit Mythology Island. Odd placement!

On the follower, it says to go the 24 Carrot Island diner, mix yellow and blue, and drink it to get green hair. It also has a button that allows you to travel to the diner.

For the costume, if you press space bar while wearing it, you’ll do a comical little Irish jig! Here’s a gif of Skinny Moon doing the dance.

It’s also notable that the post on the Creators’ Blog about these items is the first post by “Skinny Moon” (Jessica from social media). I’m excited to see future posts from her! 🙂

Update: In other news, Poptropica Realms is back! Bugs have been fixed, so the experience should be smoother. Check out our Realms Guide and get building!

TAFN.

Arabian Nights Island, Daily Pop, March Madness

March Madness Tie and Purplish Pictures

gianthawkpoptropica

Greetings Hawk-tropicans! This is Giant Hawk speaking, and today, I have some more rather maddening news dreamt up for you all.

tumblr_me9knc9dw41qg35tio2_500

So, you all remember March Madness, right? Well, it’s still going on – but nevertheless, the Creators have decided to grace us with knowledge of the competition’s three frontrunners. The statistics are as follows:

  1. Red Dragon Island – 19.8%
  2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island – 19.8%
  3. Wimpy Boardwalk Island – 15.1%

And believe it or not, Red Dragon and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are only one vote away from each other! So everyone get voting, because March Madness ends on March 31. Your votes mean more now than ever, and remember you can vote once in every common room!

Just a reminder, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island is currently free for all for a limited time (until when, we don’t know) – so if you do want to get the most out of this, maybe vote for another island so we can play both for free? #RedDragonIslandFTW

In other news, have you seen this semi-recent post on the Daily Pop? It’s the only sneak peek we’ve gotten so far this month…

screen2bshot2b2016-03-162bat2b5-21-382bpm1

Super mysterious, right? For what could this sneak peak be? Could it be for an upcoming island cutscene, or perhaps an animated short/special?

The possibilities are endlessly intriguing, so I would like to hear from all of you Poptropica theorists – what do you think this is, and where do you believe it be featured further?

Update: Last but not least, check out this pic Poptropica tweeted of the Arabian Nights Island Poster – where we can see it as a painting in real life!

Until next time…

Creamy Pies and Crusty Paradise

Slanted Fish

Hey Pie-tropicans!

It’s Pi Day, 3/14, and to celebrate, you can get a free Cream Pie Toss item card just by logging in to Poptropica! If you press the spacebar, you’ll throw a creamy, scrumptious pie! Irrational yet incredible!

As you may remember from Giant Hawk’s post, this item accidentally released early over the weekend. Anyway, this item will be gone tomorrow, so cream it up while you can! 😋

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Twitter, we get another behind-the-scenes look of the Poptropica HQ in Boston, MA! That is one crusty fried zombie who took the sunny side of spring break a little too far.

Also, there’s an ad for Project Mc2 on Home Island. Inside the building, there are three project ideas that you can do, a video, and an interactive game called The Perfume Experiment which awards two prizes: the Light-Up Bracelet and Invisible Ink Pen.

The Light-Up Bracelet is a hand-held item while the Invisible Ink Pen is sort of a purse worn as an accessory. Pressing spacebar brings up a paper sheet as a pen and writes an invisible message (Nerds are cool #NAC, Smart is the new cool, or I’m smart. – get over it!)

Thanks to Tall Cactus and Yujo_Jacy_the_Jumpy_Coyote for the tip and pictures! 🌵

There’s more Poptropica news going on that you can catch up on in the posts below! Plus, the PHC can often be pretty lively if you want to catch up with Poptropicans. Stay popping, Poptropicans! 😀
