Hey, Poptropican prisoners!

Yes, you heard it right! Escape From Pelican Rock Island is now open for preview to the public! For now, everyone can visit Main Street and collect two prizes – read on for more details!

We think that the island’s common room could be Bert’s Basement Gym or the City Bank. What do you think it is? Along the street, you’ll also find a Fresh Fruit Stand, some prisoners digging a hole, and the Ferry Market. Like the soundtrack? Listen to it here!

Now to get the prizes, you must talk to the first cop you meet on the island. The cop needs someone to take care of her bird, and after the conversation you’ll automatically get the Pet Bird Follower!

As you move further to your left, you’ll find a police officer with her dog. She’ll stop you and tell you that her dog — Sparky —doesn’t like you. As a precaution, she gives you the Prisoner Costume which includes the costumizable Sparky trailing right behind you.

What a great way to start the island, eh? I believe these are great prizes with crazy backstories. I also think that in the next few weeks, we’ll see more development and meet new people on the island. I hope we’ll get more prizes as we come closer to the island release!

We’re all very excited about this island. Are you? The island comes out in December, at least for members! By the way, if you’re a member, don’t forget to get your free Escapee Dr. Hare costume!

Plus, the Reality TV Island World Champions tournament started today! Good luck and let us know how you ranked by completing RTV Island and checking the map! If this is your first time finishing the island, you’ll also get 200 credits, which is 50 more than usual.

For a written walkthrough with pictures, check out our Reality TV Island Guide!

Escape from Pelican Rock Island, Reality TV Island

Just escaped: Dr. Hare, Skinny Moon, & more on the way

Hey Poptropicans! Poptropica’s been busy, and here’s the latest in what’s popping!

If you’re a member, you can now grab the Escapee Dr. Hare costume from the Store. Poptropica has hinted that Dr. Hare will be making an appearance soon – perhaps in the upcoming Escape From Pelican Rock? In any case, I’m currently wearing parts of the costume to get hyped for EFPR Island!

Non-members, not to worry – Poptropica plans to give away even more Escape From Pelican Rock gear on Thursday, which includes the K9 (police dog) we saw in this sneak peek! Everyone will be able to get this stuff. No specific date on EFPR’s release yet, but we do know it’s coming in December!

There’s something else going on this Thursday: Poptropica will be releasing a World Champions’ live map for Reality TV Island! Plus, they’ll be offering first-time finishers of Reality TV Island 200 credits (instead of the usual 150). Get your game on with the PHB’s Reality TV Island Guide. The map goes live at 3pm Eastern time tomorrow!

Also, Veteran’s Day has just passed us by – and Poptropica gave a shoutout to a Creator we haven’t heard about, Golden Boot, on social media! In addition to tweeting that he’d worked in military intel for 6 years, they also gave out a quote from him on the Poptropica Facebook page which reads:

I spent most of my time translating Spanish, but I was cross-trained as an Interrogator and Counter Intelligence Agent. I worked security at Olympic Village in ’02 under the Secret Service, and did stints in Nicaragua, Spain, Qatar, and Kuwait, and participated in the invasion of Iraq.

Good for you, Golden Boot! 🙂 Maybe we’ll hear more snippets of other Creators’ stories in the future?

Anticipating that some Poptropicans would have the day off, newly-revealed Creator Skinny Moon (who currently runs Poptropica’s Twitter) held another impromptu Poptropica party, this time in the Home Island common room at about 1pm Eastern time! Apparently, she was crushed in head-to-head Balloons but was victorious in Paint War.

Keep checking Poptropica’s Twitter (and the PHB’s, in our blog sidebar) for more of these spontaneous hangouts! In the meantime, the PHC is also a good place to hang out with Poptropicans. 😉

Be sure to catch up on more news below in Blake’s post: Dogs on the scent, pumpkins for all, and the return of Cosmoe! Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😀

Dogs on the scent, pumpkins for all, and the return of Cosmoe!

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with some Poptropica news. First off, the Creators have posted a picture on the blog of a very familiar Poptropica character being chased by what appears to be a K9 officer…

Yes, this dog happens to be chasing Oliver, from the Poptropica graphic novel! Could some of the Mystery of the Map characters be making an appearance in Escape from Pelican Rock? To me, there’s a small chance, since it was previously teased that Dr. Hare could be in the Island as well. But, then again, they may very well not be.

Second of all, perhaps to celebrate the recent release of the Peanuts Movie (or not, they didn’t say), the Creators have made Great Pumpkin Island available for all! How long this will last is unknown as of now, but non-members can now once again get their fill of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the gang!

Charlie has eyes on the back of his head.

Finally, the ad for Galactic Hot Dogs is now back on Main Street! Could this mark the return of the heroes of GHD for a second shot at making a (hopefully better) Island? Only time will tell. In any case, you can read more about this ad which has appeared before in this PHB post. Customize costumes, shoot at Jacks, and talk to the GHD characters!

Anyway, that’s all for now! Stay popping, Poptropicans, and don’t forget, things are heating up over at my webseries, stupidninjas! We’re around halfway through the season now, and new episodes come out every Tuesday, with some surprise releases popping up really whenever I feel like it. Come check it out, and if you like what you see, stay! I’d be happy to have you!

Let’s Face It – PMFM Announcement

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here!

Sure, I may have just posted, but I’ve got some awesome news for you guys! Let’s look back a few month’s ago at Andrew’s fan art contest. You may remember my beloved submission (if not here ya go):

This image sparked a chord with my creative talent. Many members of the community found this one hilarious, and many followed. Some as prizes for my fan art contest and some for community member birthdays:

Poptropicans belong to: Master Pinpey, Nice Fox, Giant Hawk, DjRose4, and Ylimegirl respectively

I have so much fun creating these “works of art” (if you want to call them that) and you guys seem to love them so much! So, I had this idea. An idea so crazy, so hilarious, so awesome, that it may just work. I’ve dropped hints over my social media (Twitter, Tumblr, and Deviant Art more specifically) and it’s time to announce! 😀 It’s time for…
