Poptropolis Games Island

Odds are not in favor of Poptropolis Games Island

Slanted Fish

January 24th is fast approaching, and you know what this means: Poptropolis Games Island will be sinking back into the sea. We don’t know why the Creators would take down the tribal tournament island, or if/when we’ll ever see it again… even the Plant-a-Statue isn’t too happy about the news.

The island’s description says that this ancient Poptropica capital rises “once every 100 years”… but what does that mean? If we’re to take that literally, we’d all be old or dead in a century. Some might think Poptropica years operate faster than Earth’s, but then what about the annually-updated time device on Time Tangled that reflects the current year here?

You may have noticed your Poptropolis item cards saying “Poptropolis Games 2012” at the top. Another theory is that perhaps the island will rise during Olympic years – after all, Poptropolis Games opened around the same time as the 2012 London Olympic Games, so maybe we’ll see the island again for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Hotel Transylvania ad: Clean up this mess!

Slanted Fish

There’s an ad for Hotel Transylvania on Poptropica Main Streets for the Blu-Ray Combo Pack and DVD coming out on January 29th. You can find it on islands such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Thanks to Loud Shark for the video walkthrough and Samwow5 for his help on the written guide!

You can use the video above to help you, or read the written walkthrough here:

Go inside the ad building. Dracula is at the door, and he’ll tell you that the place has to be cleaned up before dinner. Enter through the door with the paw prints on it. The instructions tell you to find the wolf pups and clean up in there. When you get inside, the pups are making a mess everywhere! Run around the restaurant and click on all 8 pups before all the plates break.

Now you have to clean up the mess they made. Click on all the places where the pups were dropping plates and pans (don’t forget the table and floor stains!) and you win a Werewolf Pup Costume and a Dracula Costume (boys) or Mavis Costume (girls)!

Slanted Fish

Cryptids IslandAmazon now lists four new titles of Poptropica books, which we can expect to see this year! The first two, Cryptids Island and Lunar Colony Island, are novels based on their online counterparts, and the cover art is already up! Look at that furry Bigfoot! He sure has some Bighands. Now let’s see the Jersey Devil. 😛

Island Creator Kit, which shows how an island gets created from scratch, sounds very promising – Creators, REVEAL YOUR SECRETS! And look, it’s written by Hades (Mitch). Lastly, Friends Handbook sounds like one to be shared with your best buds.

Night-Watching the Games Sink

Shaggy Tornado with BREAKING NEWS!

After all the rumors and speculation, it looks like it’s confirmed. Here’s the news we just received:

————————

JANUARY 18, 2013 – Mews Foundation seismologists have confirmed the unthinkable: Poptropolis Games is on the verge of sinking back into the ocean. As the Island’s shaking intensifies, it seems clear that it will slip entirely beneath the surface of the Poptropica Sea by January 24. “We’re doing our best to accommodate as many athletes as possible before we sink,” said the Games’ master of ceremonies. “Be we recommend anyone who wants to compete does so as soon as possible. Who knows if the Games will ever rise again?”

————————

Sounds like Poptropolis Games could be gone in as soon as a week! You may want to take this opportunity to visit Poptropica and play it.

Yikes! Just like the fate of Monster Carnival, Poptropica is taking an Island off the map! When you look a the map, it seems to be sinking and when you put your cursor over it, the outline goes into the water:

Sinking Jan 24!

And then when you land:

Water!

Uh oh! There’s water on the island! So let’s follow the Creators’ suggestion! Go play Poptropolis Games NOW before it sinks forever by January 24! Take our handy walkthrough with you! NOW GO!

Actually, don’t. I still have some story to tell.

So you know how the Creators released the trailer for Night Watch Island? Well, they also released the Night Watch Members’ Pack!

So we have the Cat Burglar Costume, a Whoopzie Cusion (parody of Whoopie Cushion), and the Burnt Orange Tan Power. And as usual, the costume is only available during Early Access! Which hasn’t been announced yet. But it will soon! Speaking of Night Watch, the PHB discussion page for it can be found here, and this is the description:

After the stores have closed and the shoppers have all gone home, the mall is your playground. But are you alone on the night watch… or is someone watching you? From escaped animals to creeping cat burglars, get ready to find out what really happens after hours!

Interesting. Hopefully, we’ll get a release date soon! But I think none will top Zomberry Island in my opinion. 😛 Check out the Island Help page for the Night Watch trailer, discussion, desktop wallpaper, printable poster, and tour for more info.

That’s actually it this week. 😀 So go finish Poptropolis within a week and check out the Night Watch resources! I wonder what happens if you save on Poptropolis and it sinks. 😛 Hmm…

Have a great weekend! 🙂 Cheers!

Snakes, Malls, Burglary, and Segways

Hey guys, BT here. The trailer for the new Night Watch Island has been released!

It’s pretty cool. There’s the animation style thing we saw in other island trailers such as Lunar Colony and Poptropolis Games. There’s a humorous moment in the island trailer involving a guy on a Segway. There’s a snake (?) that appeared all over the place during the trailer. And there’s a random ski-mask burglar towards the end who the snake goes up to. Hmm… what do you guys think?

BT out!
