Hey guys, BT here. The latest page of Pandemic Panic had been released!

Um… an important rule in life: if you leave something important unguarded, then it is likely the wrong person’s gonna take it.

So it seems that one of the poor tourists on that bus will mistake the jar containing the CC13 virus for something else and end up with that deadly virus himself. It is likely that that unlucky tourist with the bad souvenir would be Joe Stockman/Patient Zero. If only the doctors had taken the infected jar with them…

BT out!

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic (2 of 6) & Dream Island contest

August 3, 2013August 3, 2013 Slanted Fish

It’s August, and that means a couple of things for Poptropica – new Poptropica books are out, and the Create Your Dream Island Contest has begun! The map has been updated too (thanks ayman351!):

vh on map

First, Virus Hunter Island! The second page of the Pandemic Panic comic is here, continuing from the first part, and here our PDC heroes are stopped by a lovely Canadian Mountie and capture an innocent-looking Labrador Duck with a deadly CC13 virus. What the heck are you all doing, eh?

You’re going to need to be fit if you want to survive Virus Hunter Island, because the Expectation-Free Zone gym there wants to get you pumped up (and they say they’re expectation-free…):

As for the second new icon (the island contest), clicking on it will bring you to a page for the Island Creator Kit, containing a video message from Jeff Kinney:

Well, that’s all for now! Go get your creative juices flowing so you’ll have a stellar entry for that Create Your Dream Island Contest before it ends in December! (And if you win, you know it might just be the most exciting thing that happens in your childhood!)

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 1 of 6) & info redesign!

July 30, 2013July 30, 2013 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Remember the Zomberry: Day Zero comics released throughout last December? It seems that that same artist is back, this time doing a backstory for the upcoming Virus Hunter Island! Like the Zomberry comic, there will be 6 pages. The first page was released yesterday:

(click on the image for a larger view)

So it seems from the look of things, Dr. Lange and her two colleagues are searching for this “dangerous creature”, casually ignoring ferocious animals. The “dangerous creature” is most likely the virus we’d have to fight throughout the island. From the looks of things, and the NanoBot Training, Dr. Lange seems to be a pretty eccentric character (as well as a rare female leading doctor, the last one being Lunar Colony’s Dr. Salerno).

Speaking of Virus Hunter Island, its official island information page has been given a major makeover! Still no news of the release date, and the other islands have yet to be privileged with the same upgrade.

So what do you guys think?

BT out!

Avengers Assemble!

July 28, 2013July 28, 2013 Fuzzy-B

The Non-Stop Summer advertisement has been updated again! For a limited time, you can transform yourself into a giant green rage monster! All you have to do is watch a preview for the new Disney XD show Hulk and the agents of S.M.A.S.H.!

You will want to click on A-Bomb (the giant blue guy standing beside the video) before watching the video. Once the video is over, you receive the Giant Green Hulk Power.

But that’s not all! Once you have won the Kickin’ It game, the Randy Cunningham game, obtained the Crazy Helmet item from the Porta-Party room, and talked to A-Bomb (the big blue guy standing beside the Hulk video) you receive the special bonus prize, which is…. drum roll please…. the Iron Man Outfit!

As always, once you click on the “hulk size” button or the “make me a hero” button, you will put on the Hulk or Iron Man costumes, but you will return back to what you were wearing before when you enter a new room/area. That means if you want to be able to wear the costumes anywhere you go, you have to press Ctrl + Shift + S, but be warned, this will do away with what you were already wearing and replace it with the Hulk or Iron Man costumes.

The Avengers can now assemble on Poptropica with Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man all being available as costumes! I have been waiting for this for so long! Which is your favorite? I really like the Iron Man outfit.

Avengers Assemble!

PHB Parties

5 years of Poptropica Help!

July 27, 2013July 27, 2013 Slanted Fish

This Poptropica Help Blog (PHB) turned 5 years old on July 26th, 2013, and we celebrated with fun and friends new and old on the PHC and Poptropica. Thanks to everyone who came to the party!

5thPHB recap

Ubiquitous color-changing 5th birthday balloons, head-to-head game battles, and special effects like Fireworks took place in Multiverse rooms that tended to fill up quickly, while on the PHC, people were chatting and got to meet some of the PHB authors – Slanted Fish, Brave Tomato, Fuzzy-B, Enclosed Lightning (who retired), as well as other Poptropica bloggers like Spotted Dragon and Silver Wolf.

Even if you couldn’t make it this time, remember that the PHC is always available for you to hang out with other Poptropicans! Thanks to all you readers for sticking with the PHB and we hope to continue being your Poptropica key! Don’t forget to be awesome.
