Advertisements, Poptropica Junior, Store

Shop and pups, even for little ones ๐Ÿถ

Hey Poptropicans โ€” pop in for a shop and some pups! ๐Ÿพ

For the fall season, Adventure Outfitters brings a slew of sweaters and hoodies to its latest store rotation. Plus, September is Poptropica’s birthday month, so be sure to log in for birthday freebies and join in the PHB’s art collab to celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰


There’s a new mission on the map: an ad “island” for the upcoming “PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie“! Head inside the building and you can play two mini-games for a few prizes.

Talk to Liberty the pup to help find the six pups hiding around the headquarters. Simply click on their shadowed images peeking out from various equipment, and they’ll pop out. You’ll win a Super Suit and Skye Power (with floating action by pressing space bar) for your efforts.

You can also talk to Ryder, the boy, to help him and Chase through a city race. Move your cursor to control your vehicle, avoid crashing into cars and puddles, and grab the purple orbs to power-up and zoom through the streets. Make it to the end, and you’ll gain a Patroller Follower!


The PAW Patrol ad games are also available on Poptropica Junior, Poptropica’s website for Pre-K kids launched last year. You don’t need a Pop account to play on Pop Jr. Plus, the “Activities” section of the site has also added PAW Patrol-themed coloring pages, a recipe for shortbread cookies, plus guides for mask-making and handprint art.

A year after its launch, Poptropica Junior hasn’t seen much fanfare, adding just a handful of activities, but barely updating its own social media page. It’s interesting to see it get a bit of attention from the parent brand’s latest sponsor, but will the site keep growing and possibly nurture a new generation of Pop players? We’ll have to see.

Bonus Items

Poptropica’s Super Sweet 16 ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿง

Hey, everyone! Can you believe that Poptropica is turning 16 this September? Pretty wild, right?

Check your inventory and you’ll find two sweet gifts with space bar actions: the Frosting Splatter and the Sprinkle Sprayer. ๐Ÿง

Do these items seem a bit familiar? Well, they were originally called the Icing Blaster and the Sprinkles Cannon, and they were prizes for a Magic Bake-Off ad game. At least Poptropica remembered their birthday this year, unlike last year.

Happy sweet 16, Poptropica! Let’s celebrate by drawing fan art, making videos, and even baking a cake. As for us at the PHB, we may have something cooking. More details coming soon! ๐Ÿ‘€

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! ๐ŸงŸ Ep. 10: Tangled in Time, Part 2

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

Good day to you all! I am happily presenting you with the TENTH episode in Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! Woah! TEN EPISODES! Iโ€™m pretty stoked about that. Thank you everyone for your support! (Read the previous episode here or start from the beginning here.)

This is when things will start to get InTResTiNG. Disclaimer: Since, at the moment, we donโ€™t know a whole ton of Zomberry lore, Iโ€™m gonna make some stuff up. Just enjoy! ๐Ÿ™‚

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Ten: Tangled in Time, Part Two

The swirling through the light and color was somehow a lot less magical. They passed timeframes, saw glimpses of history, even glimpses of their own past, but it flashed by so fast they could hardly process it. And inโ€” it could have been a moment, a second, several yearsโ€” they were standing outside the 24 Carrot theater.

At once, Toothpick, who still had terrible memories of this place burned into his mind, jumped back and stumbled several steps backwards before tripping into a gutter at the other side of the street. He sputtered.

Toothpick

Ack! Sorry, I got a little startled!

Birdy helped him up and Pick dusted himself off from all the dry leaves and dirt. 

Clumsy Bird

I wonder if we can talk past usโ€ฆ waitโ€” CAN I PLEASE PRANK THE DIRECTOR AGAIN?

Hawk

No! Come on guys! We have to at least get rid of the blueberry machine!

Birdy smacks her forehead.

Clumsy Bird

Oh! Right! Save the world first, prank later. Gotcha!

Let’s Explain the Poptropica Iceberg! No Comment? ๐ŸงŠ

Good eveningโ€” 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 โ€” thanks, Krish! ๐Ÿฅฐ


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,ย the Poptropica Help Chat (for ages 13+).

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!
