Let’s Explain the Poptropica Iceberg! No Comment? 🧊

Good evening— or good morning depending where you live. Are you ready for Pop news? Let’s go!

Pop player KrishMortyJunior aka Krish made a video called “The Poptropica Iceberg Explained”. The 18-minute video covers each layer of the Poptropica iceberg, which details fun facts, Easter eggs, notable creators, and scrapped content relating to the game. Check it out:

There are so many facts covered in the video that you’re bound to learn something new. And we appreciate the inclusion of the PHB around the 5:44 minute mark — thanks, Krish! 🥰


In other blog-related news, it looks like we can no longer leave comments under posts on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. We find that pretty suspicious, since fans have been calling for the Creators to update their blog, which has been silent since February. Instead of answering fans’ cries, they cut off one avenue of communication.

The Pop Creators’ Blog no longer accepts new comments.

What’s going on behind the scenes? The game still receives small updates, but the Creators don’t talk about anything outside of social media. For example, they recently shared a “Popstorm” tutorial on drawing a planet using artwork from Galactic Hot Dogs. It’s neat but nothing substantial, even with the Gatorade joke in the caption.

Poptropica is definitely in a weird state. At least fans like Krish are able to keep the game alive. If you want to talk to fellow fans, come join us over on our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat (for ages 13+).

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Shy Wing/Silver Sword. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans! Before I begin, a quick note: you’ve known me as Silver Sword, but unfortunately, I lost my account, so I’m using another one: Shy Wing. In memory of my old account, I will sign off as “Shy Wing/Silver Sword.” 🦋⚔️ Now let’s dive into the next part of the tale!

(Start from the prologue, or continue from Case Three)

ANNA (whispering): “Shhhh! I don’t want the thief to know I’m here!”

DARK, MYSTERIOUS VOICE: “Too late now! My prisoner has helpfully pointed you out to me. You may have actually come in use for me, Axe!”

TINY AXE: “I…HATE…YOU!”

ANNA: “What do you even want her for?!”

Talking shop about Pop

Hey Poptropicans! It’s been quite the quiet month for Poptropica — some eagle-eyed watchers may even have noticed that the silence of the Pop Creators’ Blog has now passed the half-year mark. Yikes.

But hey, the fandom is still kicking! We’ve been enjoying this fan art by Magic Kid capturing the crowd at our Poppies party last month:

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Hey ya’ll, I’m here with— MWAHAHAHA— the next episode in Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!! (Catch the beginning here, or previous episode here.) I am having WAY too much fun writing this, and I’m starting to feel like a villain with all my dark plans… so… yeah. Also, thank you guys so much for voting me third place for the Poppies awards, I was surprised and flattered that so many people were willing to give their votes to my little fanfic. I got WAY more votes than I thought I’d get! Thank you! Last episode ended in a cliffhanger, and I suppose you wanna find out what happens next. So I’ll let you have at it! Enjoy!

Episode Nine: Tangled in Time, Part One

The swirling of light and color then gives them the feeling of going backwards very fast. The light breaks up and soon they are on a grass field by a nice tree. The air is not dusty, like the place they had left; in fact, it is clean and crisp with only a handful of fluffy clouds in the blue, bright sky. 

Clumsy Bird

Is this heaven?

Toothpick sits up, breaking the calm. He then pinches himself. The pain is real.

I don’t think so… what year is this?

Hawk is already on his feet, looking around. A lovely waterfall rushes nearby. A sign, with splashes of paint, reads: Leo’s Workshop, with an arrow pointing up a path by the waterfall.

Hawk

Come on, let’s come up here, and see if this Leo can help us get to the time that we need to. 

Icy Stone

Hold up! What time do you need to get to? And what for? 

Hawk decides to confess their real plans.

Hawk

We want to go back in time to stop the zombie apocalypse from happening. 

Icy Stone

Okay… and WHY were you not telling me this until now?
