🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

Hi Gs,

A while back, I posted about a new venture: Our Discovery Island – and online world using Poptropica’s engine. We now have way more info about what it has in store. Let me fill you in…

You definitely have to buy the books to easily access the islands – and it’s one island per book. The activity books include a DVD, activity sheets, and stories. The DVD contains cartoons – they’re not bad, either – including the same voice acting from the islands.

The islands are incredibly long – I went through Family Island and collected pictures for (hopefully) all the characters in the island. It turned out to be 90 characters – 90! A regular island on Poptropica has about 30!

And yes, I plan to document the game on the Poptropica Wiki. It may take some time. 😛 From what I learned, the background art in ODI is incredible – they don’t let the 2D boundary get in their way. They use 3D trickery to make the world seem much more immersive.

Oh, one more thing: Tropical Island held a surprise for me. While playing through the island, it showed a family tree, and what appeared to be Mordred from Astro-Knights Island! I’m not completely sure that this is canon, but it definitely showed Mordred’s parents! Sadly, I didn’t get a screenshot, but hopefully I will later.

What does this mean? Do these universes crossover? Tell me in the comments!

Popspiracy Theories

Blake Pops a Theory: the Fallen Earth Theory

October 6, 2015October 6, 2015 Blake

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Yes, it’s me! I’ve been gone for over a month now. Did you miss me? So, for my first post back, I’ve decided to do a theory – complete with a new graphic!

blake pops a theory

Today’s theory is one made by myself, entitled the Fallen Earth Theory. It actally does kind of play off of the Poptropica Parallel Theory from Episode One. Now, in that episode, I remarked how a mysterious benefactor was the one who gave us the blimp. But who, or what, is our benefactor? The answer?

It’s simple: Our benefactor is our future self from Time Tangled Island.

You see, this is all related to the dimensions theory, as well as a sort of timeline ordeal. You see, I believe that our future self is our benefactor. But Blake, you may say. How can it be him, if we saved the future? It’s simple.

We meddled in time, and the future seen at Time Tangled’s beginning? It was caused by us.

This works because of the Butterfly Effect, which states there is a 1 in 10 chance of something messing up due to time travel. So, back to the theory. The future us gives us the blimp, as a way of stopping us from saving the future. But Blake, you may say. Isn’t that a paradox? To which I say:

IT’S A KIDS’ GAME IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE 100% ACCURATE BECAUSE MY MOM SAID SO

But in all due seriousness, what if the reason we’re able to travel to various time periods in Time Tangled Island and various other islands is due to our meddling in time? What if the timeline in which we saved the future was rewritten, due to our own trying to save it in another? Tell me what you think in the comments below!

In other news, I’m planning on starting a monthly sort of mail series! You’ll usually find them, if I ever get around to checking my inbox, at the bottom of my posts. You can email me over at [email protected]! Let’s see those submissions roll in!

Well anyway, that’s it for now! Stay popping, Poptropicans.

Escape from Pelican Rock Island, New Islands, Sneak Peeks

Coming up next: Prison Break Island?

October 6, 2015October 6, 2015 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Big news! Just before the release of Timmy Failure Island for non-members, I have a tidbit of info concerning the next island – now officially Prison Break Island!

It hasn’t been formally announced, but I found it in the files, along with some a list of the items on the island. I’m going to save some details for the Behind-the-Scenes & Theory, but here’s a few pictures of the preliminary Main Street:

I’m excited for this island – it looks fresh and somewhat different from the regular Poptropica tone. In fact, from the Daily Pops that have been released, it reminds me of Our Discovery Island in the art direction! Check out more sneak peeks in the PHB’s Prison Break Island post category!

The Watchtower: Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl.

Spotlight: One time you may not want to be center stage.

Mise En Place: We’ve got mouths to feed.

The Space Between: The question is, can you slip through the cracks?

From a Distance: Something new is on the horizon.

TAFN.

Home Island, Photo Booth, Timmy Failure Island

Timmy Tuesday, Spooky Snapshots

October 5, 2015October 19, 2015 Samwow5

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that Timmy Failure Island is out for everyone tomorrow! Yeah that’s right…a Tuesday! (Find out why in this PHB post.)

For everyone getting ready to start the great pants chase, we have a guide made by our very own Brave Tomato that can help you through the parts you get stuck on!

In other news, there have been some changes on Home Island! In front of the Shop, there used to be a guy with an eyepatch standing there – but now there’s a different NPC, the gender of whom depends on your character. The outfit of the NPC also varies, but it looks pretty snazzy!

Finally, last but not least, there has been some changes to the Photo Booth (plus the NPC in front has been replaced with a witch)! The Creators just added some frightful new backgrounds, characters, and props! Now you can make Poptropica Halloween-themed photos using backgrounds and stickers with all your favorite Halloween characters.
