Video for Poptropica’s first video game, Poptropica Adventures (DS)!

We already have information about the upcoming Poptropica Nintendo DS game – see posts here and here. It’s called Poptropica Adventures, and now there’s a page on the Poptropica website for it! (Thanks, Fuzzy Bubble.) You can see it here.

(Warning: Cheesy female voice speaks in this ad/trailer video.)

Among the information on the page are: the trailer video (see above), pictures, description, where to buy, Poptropica wish list, E for Everyone rating, a quote from Jeff Kinney…

“We’re excited to bring the world of Poptropica to the Nintendo DS. We’ve picked three of our most popular Islands and given them a twist with exciting new challenges and storylines. We think kids will have fun exploring our world in an experience only the Nintendo DS can deliver!”

…and not only is all this available starting November 6th, but when you buy this, it comes with a redeemable code that gives you two free costumes! One is a lightning-studded warrior, and the other is a surfer, dressed in purple and with snake hair.

Get ready to explore Poptropica’s most popular islands – Super Power, Astro-Knights, and Mythology – like never before. 🙂

The Golden Ticket to Villainy

Hey guys, BT here!

First of all, that island everybody’s been talking about, Super Villain Island, is now available to the public! If you are stuck while exploring the dark minds of four of Poptropica’s most devious foes, feel free to use our Super Villain Island Guide here.

In other news, the information page for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now up! Here’s what the island description reads:

After years of silence, Willy Wonka’s magical chocolate factory is re-opening, and you’ve got a Golden Ticket. But when a group of misbehaving kids threaten to destroy Wonka’s candy creations, he needs you to save the day. Prepare to untangle a confectionary conundrum that’s full of sweet treats and sticky situations!

So… from the sounds of things,  there are going to be SIX golden tickets instead of the usual five. Us, plus Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregard, and Mike Teevee.  I’m eager to find out what will happen. But as of right now…

There’s no knowing where we’re going!

The desktop wallpaper and the printable poster gives us a very first look at the star of the show, Mr. Willy Wonka himself!

Holy hair cream, that’s a HUGE smile! o.o But hey, he’s Willy Wonka!

And here are a few more images from the information page…

On the info page, there are also links to buy the original book as well as the movie. The PHB also has a page where you can discuss this upcoming island here.

This is going to be fun! We do need a little light in Poptropica since the atmosphere of Super Villain Island’s release darkened it.

BT out!

Store

A stroll down Halloweens past!

Hey guys, it’s Rainbow Dash here, and I’m sorry I haven’t gotten a chance to post very often lately. I am feeling much better, thanks to those of you who emailed me and such :). Lately I’ve been going in and out of places, and busy with some high school stuff if I get a chance to go to school for prolonged stretches of time; but enough about me.

The creators gave us a short and sweet reminder that Halloween’s getting pretty close, and I’m sure they’ve given us much already. It’s scare season, again! What better way to celebrate Halloween than by visiting the first Halloween based adventure that the creators unveiled… Haunted House!

This short quest will lead you through many puzzles and item hunts in order to solve the mystery of the old and worn down house. Trust me, there’s a really cool ending to it to match the spirit of Halloween.

Pick up Haunted House at the Poptropica Store today! You can enjoy old times again, or try it out for the first time if you haven’t played it before. So if you’re brave enough, go in and find out the truth. I promise you won’t be disappointed. If you need help, the Island Help page lists a guide, video, and info page for the Haunted House.

I know I’m certainly in the mood for Halloween :D. So what gets you in the mood for the season? I remember getting about a truckload of candy…then losing it to my pets a day later…did you know that the holiday was originally Hallow’s Eve? Western traditions were inspired by American and Medieval folklore such as Irvington’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a book I’m currently reading. I guess you could say my favorite part about it would have to be “teenage witches” xD. Share your thoughts below.

RD out, have a nice day.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

There’s a new ad in town! You may need a younger account and one of the Main Streets you can find this on is Super Villain Island’s. Thanks to Samwow5 and Tough Spider for their help in the guide.

When you get to the advertisement, go in and you’ll find a boy sucking a lollipop. He asks you whether or not you know the number of licks needed to finish a Tootsie Pop, and you reply that you don’t know. Then you’ll need to go upstairs and ask Mr. Owl.

The instructions say: Keep the Tootsie Rolls from hitting Mr. Owl, so he won’t get distracted from licking the Tootsie Pop. Tip: Stay on him and jump around next to him, or just stand in front of him. If you do it correctly, he stops at around 60 because he accidentally bit it off. He gives you the prizes, a Tootsie Pop Costume and the Mr. Owl Follower.

 Now you try: get a Tootsie Pop and count how many licks it takes! Don’t bite it off! 😛
