What’s part of Poptropica’s world this week? Move over, The Little Mermaid: Home Island is now promoting Dreamworks’ upcoming animation โ Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken! ๐ฆ
Inside, where you’ll swim instead of walk, Ruby needs your help retrieving a trident. ๐ฑ Click to jump to dodge sea creatures and tap the space bar to blast water, which knocks things out of the way. But you can only do one action at a time, so balance your moves carefully!
Upon completing the chase, you’ll win a Sea Dog Follower and purple Kraken Tentacles, which glow pink when the space bar is pressed.
Maybe it is better down where it’s wetter. Up on land, you might have seen the news last week of New York City covered in orange skies, a sign of poor air quality โ which Poptropica quickly likened to the dystopian future of Time Tangled Island in a meme on social media. โด๏ธ
And the Creators are staying cute talking about a “Poptropica summer” popping with activities โ but besides the ads, when will we be getting new content to enjoy? The Baron’s ship has been gone half a year…
iโm having a poptropica summer if anyone wants to join (going on spontaneous adventures with my friends, defeating villains, wearing cute outfits, solving puzzles, going island hopping in a giant blimp, etc)
Much of the Pop Creators team is a mystery these days, but we’re still getting cool content from Jonathan Pitcher, who recently posted a selfie showing him working on Goofball Island. Keep going, Jon!
My daughter said she met some girls at summer camp that didnโt believe her dad worked for Poptropica.
The episode opens on a foggy dayโbut not near Erewhon Prison. No, this is in a land far, far away from that rocky outcrop in the middle of a vast ocean. Tall grasses sway with the weight of dew in the evening fog, and the sound of sheep can be heard in the distance.
A young boy sits in the field, playing a tune on a fairly simple, small recorder, stopping every few notes to jot down in a notebook with a piece of charcoal. Itโs only got a few pages, which have been written over back and front and in every blank area. It looks as though he made it himself with whatever he could find.
Hey Poptropicans, don’t space out on the latest item and art drops!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!
Heya! The day that you have all been waiting forโ Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES. I might as well give you a brief introduction, but if you had missed the last chapter you can catch it here, or start from the beginning here. I also have some art that you can find here.
The story ended last time when Clumsy Bird, Witty Toothpick, and Jazzy Hawk got word that there were more people out there surviving, and that they would hold a meeting on Goofball Island, in the city hall. So they set their yellow blimp on course to that islandโฆ butโฆ someone is watching their every move. And the team knows nothing about it at all.ย
What happens next?
Youโll have to find out for yourself.
ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!
A Zomberry Series
Episode Five: Goofing Off
It’s nearing morning.ย
The yellow blimp passes several peaceful fields, gliding through the crisp morning air, over dew-spangled grass.The sun, just peeking over the horizon of hills, is bright and pure.ย
And then there are the zombies.
They are a bright indigo color, and occasionally speckling the grass. But they are what turn this rather calm morning into something of a nightmare.The birds tweeting and calling are drowned out by the eerie moans and groans.
Clumsy Bird
Itโs MORNING? Isnโt this WONDERFUL?!
Clumsy Bird (or Birdy) seems extra cheerful this morning, perhaps because they were on their way to meet fellow survivors. She is bouncing around the small blimp, making it shake a little.
Witty Toothpick
Stop shaking the blimp! Itโs too early in the morning! *yawn*
Clumsy Bird sits down on the chair by the blimp’s steering wheel, and keeps bouncing her feet off the group.
Clumsy Bird
I canโt help it!! Iโm just TOO EXCITED!
Jazzy Hawk
Stop talking! Weโre tโ *yawn* tโtired.
Birdy
Well, too bad! Wake up! WAKE UP!!! I CANโT WAIT!
