Back Lot Island, Night Watch Island, Sneak Peeks

Lights, Camera, NIGHT WATCH!

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. First of all, the mall cop adventure, Night Watch Island, is now available to the public! If you’re having a hard time coping with Eddie the coral snake and a burglar on the loose, check out our Night Watch Island guide here.

Secondly, the island Poptropica Creator Black Widow (accidentally?) slipped is now officially announced with an info page and a trailer! The PHB’s Back Lot Island page is now up too! 😀

First of all, here’s the trailer that makes you really feel like you’re watching a cartoon:

And people say that making a movie isn’t all fun and games. And here’s what the info page says:

The greatest filmmaker of all time has come out of hiding, and he needs your help to make his masterpiece. But will you be producing the next big blockbuster, or is there trouble in tinseltown? From the first frame to the final cut, it’s lights, camera, action!

So… we’re making a movie? Hmm… I wonder what it would be? Now, here’s the Bonus Quest information, which brings some distressing news for our poor Poptropican characters:

The back lot’s owners have returned– and they want you off their property! Can you outrun studio security and get away with a valuable souvenir? Find out how to get membership now!

Oh great. -_- . But why would our Poptropicans, usually selfless, want to steal bring along some sort of souvenir?

Now, here’s the desktop wallpaper:

So is that the famed filmmaker the main island description was talking about? Sheesh, he’s a stern-looking fellow.

And here’s the printable poster:

I see an award winner (who looks like Audrey Hepburn), old fashioned comedy, diva, some Elvis Presley looking guy, a director with a clapboard, some King Kong style thing, the director guy, a female pilot, a Wild West style thing (wait, is that Elmer?), a Gollum look-a-like (from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies), and The Hobo guy (A spoof on The Hobbit) on a Hollywood style background. Hmm…

And here’s the Member’s Only Gold Cards:

So what do you think of this upcoming Back Lot Island?

BT out!

The Croods… Experience!

Fuzzy-B

There is a new “experience” advertisement located on Shark Tooth Island. This thing is so big that it is worthy of a post on the Creator’s Blog!

The Croods are on Poptropica!

An adventure of pre-historic proportions is landing on Poptropica!

If you visit Shark Tooth Island, you will have the opportunity to enter the world of The Croods, in theaters March 22. In this experience, you can explore some spectacular new locations…

…meet new friends…

…and try out new costumes and powers!

The Croods is a prehistoric comedy adventure that follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. In search of a new home, the Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures — and their outlook is changed forever.

In Theaters MARCH 22. Visit Movie Site

When you first click on the building to enter, you have a choice of three common rooms to enter… the Jungle Room, the Tree Top Room, and Sun-Lit Room! Before entering you get a short description of some of the characters.

Once in the first room, the Jungle Room, you can head to the right to get Belt’s Da Da Daa! power and Eep’s Musical Shell. Belt’s power shows a cut screen with Belt saying “Da Da Daa!” Eep’s shell is a hand held item. When you press the space bar, you bring it up to your mouth and blow through it. You can also head to the top to watch the punch monkeys do their thing (as seen in the 3rd photo in the creators blog post), or check out the costume!

Room1

The second room, the Tree Top Room, has a beautiful view of the stars. You can head to the right to get the Sandy’s Speed Crawl power and the Gran’s Amazing Cane item. The Sandy’s Speed Crawl power makes you run across the screen on all fours. Gran’s Cane is a hand held item. When you press the space bar, it spins around. You can also head to the top to see some shooting stars, or head to the top left where it says “click here for costumes.”

Room2

This then sends you to the last room, the Sun-Lit Room. In here you can go to the left where you can get the Douglas’ Stick Trick power, which gives you a hand held stick that is thrown when you press the space bar and returned to you by Douglas. The Grug’s Super Punch power lets you super punch the ground when you press the space bar. Also go to the top and watch the Macawnivore attack, or head to the left and get the two costumes!

Room3

So which of the powers/prizes/rooms/costumes is your favorite? 🙂

Say cheese! Poptropica album photos now on the PHB

Slanted Fish

Album Photos

As you play through one of Poptropica’s many island adventures, the game will snap a photo of your character at certain checkpoints and you can go back and view your photos via the Photo Album on your Poptropica Friends profile. You can also browse through your friends’ photo collections and customize from what your (or your friend’s) character is wearing with the shirt button at the top.

Less is Mordred.

Most islands have 4 photos, though Early Poptropica and Super Power have 5, and Skullduggery has just 3. Only members are able to view all the photos they’ve collected, but non-members, hold on for the good news! Now on each of the PHB’s island info/trivia pages, you can take a look at every photo, witty captions included.

The Poptropica Creators’ Blog recently posted that there are currently 133 photos to amass, showing off the photo album of PHB reader Elphangor (Lone Heart), who has done just that. (That was also the post that tried to cover up the naming of Back Lot Island, but fortunately, the PHB post below will catch you up on that big scoop!)

Congrats and thanks to Elphangor (username omitted) for his achievement, which has made it possible for the PHB to take pictures of all these pictures, now available on this blog for your perusal.

Say cheeeeeese! 😀

Back Lot Island, Sneak Peeks

It disappeared as quickly as it came. (Back Lot Island!)

Brave Tomato

If you’d go to the Creator’s Blog right now, you’d see a post that looks like this:

Picture yourself on Poptropica

When you travel somewhere, the best way to remember your trip is by taking photos. The same is true when you journey into Poptropica.

Ever since we launched the Photo Album feature last year as part of Poptropica Friends, we’ve been adding four new photos to every Island. At this point, there are 133 unique photos that you can collect, simply by playing through each Island!

But Poptropica photos are even better than the ones you take on vacation, because you can actually costumize off of what you were wearing in each one. The same is true when you look through your friends’ photo albums!

If you haven’t opened your photo album for awhile, take look — you might be surprised at what you find.

However… that wasn’t the post it was at first.

*cue DUN DUN DUNNN*

When this was first posted, it was talking about something else… here’s what it said:

Sneaky. Very Sneaky.

“What’s the next Island going to be?” That’s the question we hear over and over when we talk to our fans. Well, if you want a hint as to what we’re working on next, the best thing to do is visit Sneak Peeks in the Daily Pop!

In Sneak Peeks, we post concept art and other work in development for unannounced Islands. If you’d been checking Sneak Peeks through January and February and seen images like the one posted above, you probably would have surmised that we were working on a movie-themed Island… long before we announced Back Lot Island!

Sneak Peeks is updated five days a week. All you need to do to check it out is to visit Poptropica and click on the “Daily Pop” icon to see the latest.

We’re usually working on more than one Island at a time. Can you guess what we might be working on next?

If you peruse that post a little bit, you’ll see this set of words: Back Lot Island.  I tested to see if the Creators bought that domain name and sure enough….

http://www.backlotisland.com/

They did. So I guess we have our island name now! You think you could let that one disappear like you did with Cryptids Island, didn’t ya? Well, you were caught. 😛

BT out!

Night Watch Island, Sneak Peeks

From behemoth to infant, this coffee shop delights

Slanted Fish

What keeps you going? Perhaps a gargantuan mug of fragrant cappuccino? Captain Crawfish posted this new sneak peek of a coffee shop, with windows showing a backdrop of palm trees (perhaps part of the movie/theater island). There’s even free wifi! Such a cozy place.

Coffee shop

If you’re still struggling to relax yourself, maybe this motivational poster will help.

Motivational poster

Because there’s nothing more inspiring than a soaring eagle with the caption “motivational poster”… well, at least it isn’t discouraging! 😛 But, y’know, if you’re still looking for something to make yourself feel better, there’s a booth on Night Watch Island that will feature your stunning (and not at all derpy) Poptropican’s face on a magazine of your choice – like the gaming mag Final Boss Weekly.

Final Boss Weekly

So, what makes you happy? It may sound cheesy, but in spite of everything, don’t forget to enjoy the gift of life and smile. 😀

And while we wait for the Creators to tell us what’s going on with the new sneak peeks, check out the PHB’s 8 million hits special – the Ongoing Story Creation, in which everyone is encouraged to continue the tale of Jumpy Jumper (JJ) and the mysterious Island X as it’s written in the comments section. Keep on keepin’ on!
