The pandemic panic is coming….

Brave Tomato

…this week! Hey guys, BT here with a piece of breaking news! In a rare weekend post from Creator Captain Crawfish, he announces the following:

We know it’s been a long time coming. We know you’ve been patient. We know we’ve promised a lot. And we’ve been working around the clock to make sure we can deliver on those promises. Now, we’re very happy to say that Early Access to Virus Hunter Island will be available this week!

It’s the biggest, wildest Poptropica adventure we’ve ever made. It’s got a bigger screen, music and sound effects, and an epic storyline. We’re very proud of Virus Hunter Island, and we can’t wait until you can play it.

We’ll let you know exactly when Virus Hunter Island is available. Keep checking back!

A lot of Poptropicans are probably sighing in relief right now. We waited four months for Virus Hunter Island, and it’s finally coming out this week! Although he doesn’t say exactly when next week, it is likely that it’ll release on Thursday, August 29, considering Poptropica tends to release their islands on a Thursday.

Anyways, the map has changed up a bit, with two of the island icons colored: Virus Hunter and 24 Carrot Island. This indicates that these islands have been affected by Poptropica’s new larger screen and soundtrack format… which means 24 Carrot Island’s new format is now available for the public! Members can now play as their own Poptropicans with the new format!

(UPDATE: The improved 24 Carrot Island is now open to everyone!)

Do you think Virus Hunter Island will be worth the wait? I hope so.

BT out!

Dream Islands and Daily Pops

Hey guys, BT here. Now, first of all, you know the Create Your Dream Island where anyone kids between ages 8-12 can submit their own island ideas? Well, this is only part of the tons of entries the Creators have been receiving:

Wow, that’s a lot of entries (and a pic of Super Power Island characters Speeding Spike and Betty Jetty among them)! However, only one of these entries will become an island, but there will be finalists who will still get something for trying.

I wish I was young enough to participate… I have a great idea that’s been floating in my head for a while.

Anyways, I’ve been looking around the Daily Pops lately and I’ve been seeing a lot of strange ones (there’s a lot of these so you’ll need to click on ‘Read more’ if you want to check them out here)…

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 6 of 6 & Printable PDF)

Slanted Fish

The end, or only just the beginning? This last page of the Virus Hunter prequel story happens to be both. All we’re left with at the moment is a lone strand of Patient Zero’s hair and a Canadian coin…

The story continues in Virus Hunter Island, which will hopefully be out soon! In the meantime, if you need to catch up on the previous Pandemic Panic! comics, we’ve got them right here on this blog – part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and part 6.

[UPDATE] You can now view the entire Pandemic Panic! comic with the free printable PDF!

Take a deep breath if you’re brave enough to venture into some dimly-lit lungs…

It’s a crazy world inside the human body – are you ready for it?! 🙂

LEGO Poptropica

We DID it! (new code: DRHARE10000)

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here with an awesome announcement!

Rejoice, because yesterday, the Dr. Hare’s Lair LEGO CUUSOO project finally hit 10,000 supporters!!!

As a thanks to us Poptropicans who helped support the project, Dr. Hare wrote the following:

Minions,

It’s been a long road, but at last we’ve done it. We’ve reached 10,000 supporters for our LEGO CUUSOO project!

Now, it’s up to our friends at LEGO to review the project and decide it’s something they want to move ahead with. We hope they do. If not, we still had a great time working on “Dr. Hare’s Lair,” and we enjoyed being able to share it with you.

Of course, we’ve got one more item to give away to thank everyone for their support. The Dr. Hare Light and Shadow Outfits are available now, absolutely free! All you need to do is log into your Poptropica account and enter the promo code DRHARE10000.

(Not sure how to redeem a code? Find out here.)

That about wraps it up! Thanks again for all your help. And keep an eye out for more exciting Poptropica announcements!

Yup, the DRHARE10000 code is now available! Not only is the goal reached and we get our prizes, we don’t have to worry about Dr. Hare nagging at us anymore… for now. Well, here’s the video that he also posted along with the post:

The Creators have done so much for us, and it was great of us to help return the favor by supporting this project.

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 5 of 6) & LEGO panic!

Slanted Fish

The penultimate page of the Pandemic Panic! comic is here! If you missed the previous parts, you can catch up from our previous posts. Here we see Dr. Lange finally realizing her deathly mistake…

Well, at least there’s still that last cup of maple syrup she can attempt to calm her nerves down with… assuming it’s not contaminated too, of course.

Also, the LEGO CUUSOO project Dr. Hare has gone on and on about since last winter is almost to its 10k goal, currently with 9,325+ supporters! A final prize has been promised for when we do get there:

So, let’s keep going! These Dr. Hare Light & Shadow outfits won’t be available until the 10,000 mark – so if you haven’t supported the project yet, be sure to cast your vote and earn the bragging right to say you helped with the project (which has gotten over 2 million views)! LEGO has closed comments on the project page on the grounds that “there were too many off-topic comments,” but, of course, you can still share your thoughts here on the PHB.
