Bikers vs. Boards Island is surfing to you soon!

Slippery Raptor

Hey guys! Slippery here. What, Bikers vs. Boards is coming soon?

NO. BIKERS VS BOARDS ISLAND IS NOT COMING TO POPTROPICA.

It’s just an advertisement for the upcoming Disney movie, Teen Beach 2! (Phew!) You may find one of these ads in some SUIs like Mystery of the Map Island. There are no games or anything, you just need to watch the trailer for the movie.

After watching the trailer, you will receive a prize: a Brady follower (for girls) or a Mack follower (for boys). On another note, Brady and Mack are also costumizable, so if you want to have their look, just press the costumize button by the menu!

If you’ll excuse me, I better go to the beach and have Mack teach me how to surf. 😛

The Percy Jackson ad is still on other Main Streets, so check out those prizes before they’re gone! For other recent news and happenings, check out the previous posts! 🙂

Arabian Nights Island, Nabooti Island, Realms

Realms sharing coming soon, and Nabooti demo?

Slippery Raptor

Hey Poptropicans! Slippery here. I’m back!

When you login on Poptropica, you may find something new at the bottom of the homepage screen. Does this sign feature Poptropica Realms? Well, there’s a brand new feature coming soon to Poptropica and it’s what we’ve all been waiting for—realms sharing!

What do you think? Maybe we’ll be able to visit each other’s realms; I can’t wait to try it out.

Speaking of Poptropica Realms, the lightsaber is still there, so better collect as much Poptanium as you can before it’s gone! Check out our Realms guide for more details about the new tool.

Also, the banner carousel when you log in now shows a sneak peek for Arabian Nights Ep. 3: Careful What You Wish For, which is expected to come this July!

Meanwhile, something strange has been going on: if you check the Map on a non-member account, Nabooti Island has been marked with the membership icon and the “play the demo!” sign. After playing a while, you’ll be faced with the “End of Demo” screen.

What makes this all the more unusual is that Nabooti came out before membership and demos were a thing on Poptropica. Is Nabooti going to be the next island to be converted to a SUI? Stay tuned to the PHB as we find out more.

Is Poptropica part of the Illuminati? (Percy Jackson ad)

Slanted Fish

Percy Jackson fans rejoice: on Main Street of Mystery of the Map Island, you can enter Camp Half-Blood to meet some characters, take a quiz, and collect a couple of prizes!

If you head down the road inside the ad building, you’ll find the Cyclops Power, a glowing red eye on a pyramid. Now what else do we know contains an eye enclosed in a triangle? There can only be one conclusion: Illuminati confirmed on Poptropica.

Now, with this cool Illuminati Cyclops Power, you’ll have the eye floating above your head, and when you press spacebar, you’ll turn other characters around you into one-eyed beasts!

If you venture further down to the “underworld” area, you can pick up a Pen Sword, a handheld item that changes into a pen or a sword every time you press spacebar.

Do you see the two triangles on the pen’s pedestal? Hmm. And the triangles that form the tips of the “get prize!” arrows? What about the fact that Poptropicans’ eyeballs are such a prominent feature, while noses and ears are unheard of? Be illuminated: Poptropica favors the same symbols as the Illuminati.

Just kidding. What conspiracies could Poptropica be up to?

Lastly, to all recent graduates (because it’s about that time of year): congratulations! Here’s to the population of PHB readers who have been with us since the beginning, who started off as young pre-teens (as many Poptropicans do) and have found themselves becoming young adults in the process. Enjoy a little Pop graphic made in your honor, and if you’re still in school: you too can make it!

Stay popping, Poptropicans. 😉

Hall of Fame

The 3rd Hall of Fame Winner: Mighty Burger

Samwow5

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while since I posted – I’ve been very busy in real life, but now I am ready to relax & play Poptropica, so get ready for more posts in the future 😀 ! Anyway, if you didn’t know, the Creators have been doing a weekly contest called the Poptropica Hall of Fame (rules here). To be eligible for the contest, you have to:

  1. Complete an Island and earn an Island Medallion.
  2. Every time you complete an island during that week and earn a medallion, you get another chance to win. The more wins, the higher your chances!
  3. There is no limit to how many times you can enter.

The Poptropica Hall of Fame contest is being held for 4 weeks with 4 Hall of Fame spots, and the third winner has just been carved into history today in the Poptropica Hall of Fame. The Poptropican lucky enough to etch his name into the Hall of Fame today is… Mighty Burger!

The Creators say Mighty Burger is a Canadian Poptropican, with 53 Island finishes under his belt. Which is the most islands possible you can finish currently in Poptropica.

mightyBurgerRealityTVHere’s something interesting, though: my good friend Brave Sky found a character on Reality TV Island 2 days ago that she didn’t see before. She took a picture and sent it to me, which I sent to the Creators and they confirmed it was the Hall of Fame winner. If the contest is for a week, then why was he on the island 2 days before the contest for that week was supposed to end?

As with the other winners, he replaces a former NPC: this time, it’s the goth guy who’s gone. Anyway, if you missed out on the first and second Hall of Fame winners, check out Blake’s post on Dangerous Glove, who was the first winner and a guest star on Night Watch Island, and SD’s post on Lazy Pelican, who was the second winner and a guest star on Game Show Island.

Anyway, that’s it for now! I hope you have a great rest of the week, and if you want to a chance to be the 4th and possibly final Hall of Fame winner, make sure to follow the rules above!

Mystery of the Map for all & Poptanium Lightsaber

Spotted Dragon

motm available

Great news guys! Mystery of the Map Island is officially out for everyone.

If you get stuck, be sure to check out the PHB’s guide for a written walkthrough complete with pictures. And when you’re done, you can check your rank on the MotM World Champions Map!

In other news, for a limited time there is a much faster way to obtain Poptanium. When you visit Poptropica Realms, you have the chance to use a lightsaber, as a promotion for Star Wars Rebels.

The lightsaber allows you to more efficiently collect Poptanium by destroying a huge area, but this powerful tool will only be around for a limited time. So visit Poptropica Realms before the lightsabers disappear! (Plus, check out our Realms guide for more tips and tricks on Realms!)
